"Cows may be purely economical, in the sense that we cannot see that they do much beyond grazing and seeking better grazing grounds. And that is why a History of Cows in twelve volumes would not make for very lively reading."
~ GK Chesterton "Sarcasm: the last refuge of modest and chaste-souled people when the privacy of their soul is coarsely and intrusively invaded." ~Fyodor Dostoevsky "At least I have the modesty to admit that lack of modesty is one of my failings." ~Hector Berlioz "We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive." ~C. S. Lewis

James Baldwin
Anyone who has ever struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor.
Everybody's journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality. One is responsible to life: It is the small beacon in that terrifying darkness from which we come and to which we shall return. To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to the making of bread. Be careful what you set your heart upon - for it will surely be yours. ~ James A. Baldwin I'm studying Baldwin's essays in my English class right now, and - wow. What a genius.

I finally found out where this quote came from!

Another great Twain one is:
"If you do not read the newspapers you are uninformed. If you do read the newspapers, you are MISinformed."

That one is great.
I like the one my fiance said to me one day when I was being very annoying: "I'm going to hit you with something heavy and blunt... like a truck." |

Here are some of my favorites.
"The imitator dooms himself to hopeless mediocrity. The inventor did it because it was natural to him, and so in him it has a charm. In the imitator something else is natural, and he bereaves himself of his own beauty, to come short of another man's." Emerson "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever" Gandhi "It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong." Voltaire And finally... "A witty saying proves nothing." Voltaire |
