The Beatles crossed the ocean, an overnight explosion on the TV, and my brother had to go to Vietnam. ~ Alabama, Changes Comin' On #Lyrics
Without the element of uncertainty, the bringing off of even, the greatest business triumph would be dull, routine, and eminently unsatisfying. ~ J. Paul Getty #quote
Your true traveler finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure. ~ Aldous Huxley #quote
The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. ~ C.S. Lewis #quote
As he was valiant, I honour him. But as he was ambitious, I slew him. ~ William Shakespeare #Quote
Having books published is very destructive to writing. It is even worse than making love too much. Because when you make love too much at least you get a damned claret that is like no other light. A very clear and hollow light. ~ Ernest Hemingway #quote
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone. ~ Orson Welles #quote
Life yields only to the conqueror. Never accept what can be gained by giving in. You will be living off stolen goods, and your muscles will atrophy. ~ Dag Hammarskjold #quote
For undemocratic reasons and for motives not of State, they arrive at their conclusions - largely inarticulate. Being void of self-expression they confide their views to none; but sometimes in a smoking room, one learns why things were done. ~ Rudyard Kipling #quote
If it were not for the intellectual snobs who pay - in solid cash - the tribute which philistinism owes to culture, the arts would perish with their starving practitioners. Let us thank heaven for hypocrisy. ~ Aldous Huxley #quote
Trust no friend without faults, and love a woman, but no angel. ~ Doris Lessing #quote
You have no more right to consume happiness without producing it, than you do to consume wealth without producing it. ~ George Bernard Shaw #Quote
Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good. ~ Mahatma Gandhi #quote
Loose ladies on the road will drive you crazy, every no, becomes a maybe. ~ Eric Clapton, Hungry #lyrics
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. ~ Seneca the Elder #Quote
Everything has been thought of before, but the problem is to think of it again. ~ Johann von Goethe #quote
If you wish to make anything grow, you must understand it, and understand it in a very real sense. 'Green fingers' are a fact, and a mystery only to the unpracticed. But green fingers are the extensions of a verdant heart. ~ Russell Page #quote
He is not great who is not greatly good. ~ William Shakespeare #Quote
The doctor learns that if he gets ahead of the superstitions of his patients he is a ruined man; and the result is that he instinctively takes care not to get ahead of them. ~ George Bernard Shaw #Quote
There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills; but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling. ~ Victor Hugo #quote
I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche #quote
Don't move too fast, if you want your love to last. ~ The Doors, Take It As It Comes #lyrics

Public speaking is done in the public tongue, the national or tribal language; and the language of our tribe is the men's language. Of course women learn it. We're not dumb. If you can tell Margaret Thatcher from Ronald Reagan, or Indira Gandhi from General Somoza, by anything they say, tell me how. This is a man's world, so it talks a man's language. ~ Ursula K. LeGuin #quote
Contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth. ~ Blaise Pascal #quote
To regret deeply is to live afresh. ~ Henry David Thoreau #quote
We live in a wheel, where everyone steals. But when we rise, it's like strawberry fields. ~ Bush, Glycerine #lyrics
The sea hath no king but God alone. ~ Dante Gabriel Rossetti, The White Ship #quote
People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them that I have the heart of a small boy - and I keep it in a jar on my desk. ~ Stephen King #quote
That does not seem to me to be a grave objection. Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years. Lady Dumbleton is an instance in point. To my own knowledge she has been thirty-five ever since she arrived at the age of forty, which was many years ago now. I see no reason why our dear Cecily should not be even still more attractive at the age you mention than she is at present. There will be a large accumulation of property. ~ Oscar Wilde #quote, The Importance of Being Earnest
Over the mountain watching the watcher, breaking the darkness waking the grapevine. One inch of love is one inch of shadow, love is the shadow that ripens the wine. ~ Pink Floyd, Set The Controls For The heart of The Sun #Lyrics
Information networks straddle the world. Nothing remains concealed. But the sheer volume of information dissolves the information. We are unable to take it all in. ~ Gunther Grass #quote
Boredom is a disease of the mind and psyche, an insidious disease. It not only takes the joy out of life, but the creativity as well. No one of God's children should ever be bored with life. ~ Source Unknown #quote
We are the children of our own deeds. ~ Victor Hugo #quote
If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are? ~ Source Unknown #quote
Government is an evil; it is only the thoughtlessness and vices of men that make it a necessary evil. When all men are good and wise, government will of itself decay. ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley #Quote
The irrationality of a thing is no argument against its existence, rather a condition of it. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche #quote
There are three rules for writing the novel. Unfortunately no one knows what they are. ~ W. Somerset Maugham #quote
Flowers are as common in the country as people are in London. ~ Oscar Wilde #quote
When a wife has a good husband it is easily seen in her face. ~ Johann von Goethe #quote
A good picture is equivalent to a good deed. ~ Vincent Van Gogh #quote

Well, it's a Bloody Mary morning, my baby left without warning. ~ Willie Nelson, Bloody Mary Morning #lyrics

Learning carries within itself certain dangers because out of necessity one has to learn from one's enemies. ~ Leon Trotsky #quote
Pure Spirit, one hundred degrees proof - that's a drink that only the most hardened contemplation-guzzlers indulge in. Bodhisattvas dilute their Nirvana with equal parts of love and work. ~ Aldous Huxley #quote

Write on your doors the saying wise and old.
Be bold! and everywhere -
Be bold; Be not too bold!
Yet better the excess
Than the defect;
better the more than less sustaineth him
and the steadiness of his mind beareth him out.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow #quote
