Herman Hesse quote: "Writing is good, thinking is better. Being smart is good,..."
Writing is good, thinking is better. Being smart is good, being patient is better. Herman Hesse
Strangers when you meet, strangers when you part -a gymnasium of bodies namelessly masturbating each other. People with no morals often considered themselves more free, but mostly they lacked the ability to feel or to love. So they became swingers. The dead fucking the dead. There was no gamble or humor in their game -it was corpse fucking corpse. Morals were restrictive, but they were grounded on human experience down through the centuries. Some morals tended to keep people slaves in... Charles Bukowski
I do not pretend to give such a sum; I only lend it to you. When you shall return to your country with a good character, you cannot fail of getting into some business, that will in time enable you to pay all your debts. In that case, when you meet with another honest man in similar distress, you must pay me by lending this sum to him; enjoining him to discharge the debt by a like operation, when he shall be able, and shall meet with such another opportunity. I hope it may thus go through many... Benjamin Franklin
I have never seen a situation so dismal that a policeman couldn't make it worse. All publicity is good, except an obituary notice. What the hell difference does it make, left or right? There were good men lost on both sides. Brendan Behan
Only common mortals like the Somervilles have good old rotten hates, dear,’ said her mother. ‘Sir Graham manages to love everybody and wouldn’t know what you’re talking about. Have a bun.’ ‘He doesn’t love the Turks,’ said Philippa. ‘He kills them.’ ‘That isn’t hate,’ said Kate Somerville. ‘That’s simply hoeing among one’s principles to keep them healthy and neat. I’m sure he would tell you he bears them no personal grudge; and they think they’re going to Paradise anyway, so it does... Dorothy Dunnett

A lot of people like to do certain things, but they're notthat good at it. Keep going through the things that you liketo do, until you find something that you actually seem to beextremely good at. It can be anything. George Lucas
She thought there were no Gods; no one was to blame; and so she evolved this atheist's religion of doing good for the sake of goodness. Virginia Woolf
Oscar Wilde quote: "It is better to be beautiful then to be good, but it is better..."
It is better to be beautiful then to be good, but it is better to be good then to be ugly. Oscar Wilde
The mature man lives quietly, does good privately, assumes personal responsibility for his actions, treats others with friendliness and courtesy, finds mischief boring and keeps out of it. Without this hidden conspiracy of good will, society would not endure an hour. Kenneth Rexroth
[Re: Rom 10:2] It is commonly said: “The intention is good, and the purpose is true, but the means are misused.” The goal which they seek is correct; but the way is wrong by which they endeavor to reach the goal. They want to go east and instead they are going west. The arrogant zeal of good intentions does the same today. The Apostle expresses himself very mildly when he says “not according to knowledge.” He wishes this to be understood in the sense that they set about with blind zeal,... Martin Luther
