Chateaubriand


What importance can we attach to the things of this world? Friendship? It disappears when the one who is liked comes to grief, or the one who likes becomes powerful. Love? it is deceived, fleeting, or guilty. Fame? You share it with mediocrity or crime. Fortune? Could that frivolity be counted a blessing? All that remains are those so-called happy days that flow past unnoticed in the obscurity of domestic cares, leaving man with the desire neither to lose his life nor to begin it over.

Anon.


Some authors should be paid by the quantity NOT written.

James Lileks


Ill feel that horrible feeling in my stomach you get when youve gone over to the Dark Side. But Ill be fine. Thats the good thing about the Dark Side. Eventually, your eyes adjust.

Albert Einstein


The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. So to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that which is impenetretrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms-this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.

C. S. Lewis


Five senses; an incurably abstract intellect; a haphazardly selective memory; a set of preconceptions and assumptions so numerous that I can never examine more than minority of them - never become conscious of them all. How much of total reality can such an apparatus let through?

Marquis de Sade


No kind of sensation is keener and more active than that of pain its impressions are unmistakable.

Lauren Bacall


You don't always win your battles, but it's good to know you fought.
