| 51515c6 | Am I grave?', he asked. 'I had an idea I was grinning from ear to ear.' 'You look as if you were taking me to a funeral. If that's a grin, your ears are very near together. | Henry James | ||
| e9b7ec2 | I remember that just as I was about to cross the border they asked me what I had to declare and, like an idiot, I answered: "I want to declare that I am a traitor to the human race." | Henry Miller | ||
| a8c7882 | A valise without straps. A hole without a key. She had a German mouth, French ears, Russian ass. Cunt international. When the flag waved it was red all the way back to the throat. You entered on the Boulevard Jules-Ferry and came out at the Porte de la Villette. You dropped your sweetbreads into the tumbrils - red tumbrils with two wheels, naturally. At the confluence of the Ourcq and Marne, where the water sluices through the dikes and lie.. | desire sex women | Henry Miller | |
| 1b951d1 | Fear, hydra-headed fear, which is rampant in all of us, is a hang-over from lower forms of life. We are straddling two worlds, the one from which we have emerged and the one towards which we are heading. This is the deepest meaning of the word human, that we are a link, a bridge, a promise. It is in us that the life process is being carried to fulfillment. We have a tremendous responsibility, and it is the gravity of that which awakens our .. | Henry Miller | ||
| 2d52e86 | I was like Robinson Crusoe on the island of Tobago. For hours at a stretch I would lie in the sun doing nothing, thinking of nothing. To keep the mind empty is a feat, a very healthful feat too. To be silent the whole day long, see no newspaper, hear no radio, listen to no gossip, be thoroughly and completely lazy, thoroughly and completely indifferent to the fate of the world is the finest medicine a man can give himself. The book-learning.. | keep-calm | Henry Miller | |
| ad18e71 | Christ will never more come down to earth nor will there be any law-giver, nor will murder cease nor theft, nor rape, and yet... and yet one expects something, something terrifyingly marvellous and absurd, perhaps a cold lobster with mayonnaise served gratis, perhaps an invention, like the electric light, like television, only more devastating, more soul rending, an invention unthinkable that will bring a shattering calm and void, not the c.. | Henry Miller | ||

| f4e587d | We have faith in the potentialities of other, of ourselves, and of mankind because, and only to the degree which, we have experienced the growth of our own potentialities, the reality of growth in ourselves, the strength of our own power of reason and of love. | Erich Fromm | ||
| bd9fb0f | We have been compelled to recognize that millions in Germany were as eager to surrender their freedom as their fathers were to fight for it; that instead of wanting freedom, they sought for ways of escape from it; that other millions were indifferent and did not believe the defense of freedom to be worth fighting and dying for. | Erich Fromm | ||
| de309af | The common suffering is the alienation from oneself, from one's fellow man, and from nature; the awareness that life runs out of one's hand like sand, and that one will die without having lived; that one lives in the midst of plenty and yet is joyless. | Erich Fromm | ||
| 163ba8c | For better or worse, intelligence can come to nothing when the emotions hold sway. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 38729dc | Writing is a craft, being an author is work, and having readers and a following is a gift. | craft followers readers work writing | Michael J. Kannengieser | |
| ada888b | It's like she's made of steel, yet the most lovely, beautiful steel ever crafted. There's something always lingering just beneath the surface when you look at her -- a sense of mystery and sex, of all the weapons one can use to be a truly compelling woman. | Michael Callahan | ||
| c9b708b | Don't do things that you know are morally wrong. Not because someone is watching, but because you are. Self-esteem is just the reputation that you have with yourself. You'll always know. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 1675fc1 | Being busy is most often used as a guise for avoiding the few critically important but uncomfortable actions. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 59e3039 | Age doesn't matter; an open mind does. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 5c61808 | Pure hell forces action, but anything less can be endured with enough clever rationalization. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 9154f2b | Give vulnerability a shot. Give discomfort its due. Because I think he or she who is willing to be the most uncomfortable is not only the bravest, but rises the fastest. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| c367069 | When I wake up in the morning, I'm thinking to myself: What can I do to be ready for that moment, which is coming? That propels me out of bed. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 9ca4b16 | Money doesn't change you; it reveals who you are when you no longer have to be nice | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| e214a7a | Being overwhelmed is often as unproductive as doing nothing, and is far more unpleasant. Being selective - doing less - is the path of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| b522274 | The ICC [Interstate Commerce Commission] illustrates what might be called the natural history of government intervention. A real or fancied evil leads to demands to do something about it. A political coalition forms consisting of sincere, high-minded reformers and equally sincere interested parties. The incompatible objectives of the members of the coalition (e.g., low prices to consumers and high prices to producers) are glossed over by fi.. | politics | Milton Friedman | |
| 4a773f1 | But in order that life should be a story or romance to us, it is necessary that a great part of it, at any rate, should be settled for us without our permission. If we wish life to be a system, this may be a nuisance; but if we wish it to be a drama, it is an essential. It may often happen, no doubt, that a drama may be written by somebody else which we like very little. But we should like it still less if the author came before the curtain.. | G.K. Chesterton | ||
| 84e9003 | I don't want the universe broken up just yet," drawled the Marquis. "I want to do a lot of beastly things before I die. I thought of one yesterday in bed." | G.K. Chesterton | ||
| 82ef917 | The silly sentimentalists of the French Revolution talked of the Rights of Man! We hate Rights as we hate Wrongs. We have abolished Right and Wrong. And Right and Left, said Syme with a simple eagerness, I hope you will abolish them too. They are much more troublesome to me. | humor | G.K. Chesterton | |
| a6b89c7 | Yes, he said in a voice indescribable, you are right. I am afraid of him. Therefore I swear by God that I will seek out this man whom I fear until I find him, and strike him on the mouth. If heaven were his throne and the earth his footstool, I swear that I would pull him down. How? asked the staring Professor. Why? Because I am afraid of him, said Syme; and no man should leave in the universe anything of which he is afraid. | G.K. Chesterton | ||
| ee3cd49 | Now for St. Francis nothing was ever in the background. We might say that his mind had no background, except perhaps that divine darkness out of which the divine love had called up every colored creature one by one. He saw everything as dramatic, distinct from its setting, not all of a piece like a picture but in action like a play. A bird went by him like an arrow; something with a story and a purpose, though it was a purpose of life and n.. | G.K. Chesterton | ||
| 677dfad | Humour is meant, in a literal sense, to make game of man; that is, to dethrone him from his official dignity and hunt him like game. | G.K. Chesterton | ||
| 1b931cf | I am not good at deception,' said Tuesday gloomily, flushing. Right, my boy, right,' said the President with a ponderous heartiness, 'You aren't good at anything. | G.K. Chesterton | ||
| 0a4de25 | Thrift is poetic because it is creative. | G.K. Chesterton | ||
| 8ebd2c1 | There is one thing that is infinitely more absurd and unpractical than burning a man for his philosophy. This is the habit of saying that his philosophy does not matter, and this is done universally in the twentieth century. | G.K. Chesterton | ||
| 278ee96 | I cannot betray you, but I might betray myself. Come, come! wait and see me betray myself. I shall do it so nicely. | G.K. Chesterton | ||
| 9e854c2 | There is no harm in our criticizing foreigners, if only we would also criticize ourselves. In other words, the world might need even less of its new charity, if it had a little more of the old humility. | humilty | G.K. Chesterton | |
| d47e2a8 | You cannot love a thing without wanting to fight for it. You cannot fight without something to fight for. To love a thing without wishing to fight for it is not love at all; it is lust. It may be an airy, philosophical, and disinterested lust; it may be, so to speak, a virgin lust; but it is lust, because it is wholly self-indulgent and invites no attack. On the other hand, fighting for a thing without loving it is not even fighting; it can.. | hold-fast love | G.K. Chesterton | |
| e752c87 | A puddle repeats infinity, and is full of light; nevertheless, if analyzed objectively, a puddle is a piece of dirty water spread very thin on mud. | G.K. Chesterton | ||
| e60634c | Being surrounded with every conceivable kind of revolt from infancy, Gabriel had to revolt into something, so he revolted into the only thing left -- sanity. But there was just enough in him of the blood of these fanatics to make even his protest for common sense a little too fierce to be sensible. | fanatics revolt sanity | G.K. Chesterton | |
| d693ea2 | For even the most dehumanized modern fantasies depend on some older and simpler figure; the adventures may be mad, but the adventurer must be sane. | G.K. Chesterton | ||
| a899cc7 | Bigotry may be roughly defined as the anger of men who have no opinions. It is the resistance offered to definite ideas by that vague bulk of people whose ideas are indefinite to excess. Bigotry may be called the appalling frenzy of the indifferent. This frenzy of the indifferent is in truth a terrible thing; it has made all monstrous and widely pervading persecutions. In this degree it was not the people who cared who ever persecuted; the .. | fanaticism ideas moral-crusade oppression | G.K. Chesterton | |
| 65372b2 | To hurry through one's leisure is the most unbusiness-like of actions. | G.K. Chesterton | ||
| 1012138 | a man is not really convinced of a philosophic theory when he finds that something proves it. He is only really convinced when he finds that everything proves it. | G.K. Chesterton |
