Paulo Coelho quote: "Stay mad, but behave like normal people. Run the risk of being..."
Stay mad, but behave like normal people. Run the risk of being different, but learn to do so without attracting attention. Paulo Coelho
Still, no one finally knows what a poet is supposed either to be or to do. Especially in this country, one takes on the job—because all that one does in America is considered a "job"—with no clear sense as to what is required or where one will ultimately be led. In that respect, it is as particular an instance of a "calling" as one might point to. For years I've kept in mind, "Many are called but few are chosen." Even so "called," there were no assurances that one would be answered. Robert Creeley
Miss Prism: Do not speak slightingly of the three-volume novel, Cecily. I wrote one myself in earlier days. Cecily: Did you really, Miss Prism? How wonderfully clever you are! I hope it did not end happily? I don't like novels that end happily. They depress me so much. Miss Prism: The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what fiction means. Oscar Wilde
Fats Waller quote: "One never knows, do one..."
One never knows, do one... Fats Waller
There are dead stars that still shine because their light is trapped in time. Where do I stand in this light, which does not strictly exist? (155) Don DeLillo
Give me all of you!!! I don’t want so much of your time, so much of your talents and money, and so much of your work. I want YOU!!! ALL OF YOU!! I have not come to torment or frustrate the natural man or woman, but to KILL IT! No half measures will do. I don’t want to only prune a branch here and a branch there; rather I want the whole tree out! Hand it over to me, the whole outfit, all of your desires, all of your wants and wishes and dreams. Turn them ALL over to me, give yourself to me and... C. S. Lewis
To claim that theft or adultery or lying are "evil" simply reflects our degraded idea of good-—that it has something to do with respect for property, respectability, and sincerity. Simone Weil
All those Nupboards in the Cupboards they're good fun to have about. But that Nooth gush on my tooth brush.....Him I could do without. Dr. Seuss
Volumes can be and have been written aboutthe issue of freedom versus dictatorship, but, in essence, it comes down to a single question: do you consider it moral to treat men as sacrificial animalsand to rule them by physical force? Ayn Rand
That it doesn’t strike us at all when we look around us, move about in space, feel our own bodies, etc. etc., shows how natural these things are to us. We do not notice that we see space perspectivally or that our visual field is in some sense blurred towards the edges. It doesn’t strike us and never can strike us because it is the way we perceive. We never give it a thought and it’s impossible we should, since there is nothing that contrasts with the form of our world. What I wanted to say... Ludwig Wittgenstein
The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. Heraclitus
I remember it was with extreme difficulty that I could bring my master to understand the meaning of the word opinion, or how a point could be disputable; because reason taught us to affirm or deny only where we are certain; and beyond our knowledge we cannot do either. Jonathan Swift
George Bernard Shaw quote: "It's all that the young can do for the old, to shock them and..."
It's all that the young can do for the old, to shock them and keep them up to date. George Bernard Shaw
George W. Bush quote: "I don't care what the polls say. I don't. I'm doing what I..."
I don't care what the polls say. I don't. I'm doing what I think what's wrong. George W. Bush
John F. Kennedy quote: "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other..."
We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things. Not because they are easy, but because they are hard. John F. Kennedy
