Great Quotations

Quotations:

Lloyd Jones


The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try nothing and succeed.

Abraham Myerson


Society expects man to be a passive social animal who believes like the People of the Field in "Jurgen" that "to do what you always have done" and "what is expected of you" are the twin rules of life. This, is course, is not true. The wanton crucifixion of impulses, the unnecessary blocking and frustration of the drives and urges, are an evil that reflects itself in sophistication, ennui and boredom, dissatisfaction, melancholy, fatigue, anxiety and neurosis.

Simone Weil


Imagination and fiction make up more than three quarters of our real life.

Henry David Thoreau


Faint heart never won true friend. O my friend, may it come to pass, once, that when you are my friend I may be yours.
