A sure sign of a good book is that you like it more the older you get. Georg C. Lichtenberg

Seeing, contrary to popular wisdom, isn't believing. It's where belief stops, because it isn't needed any more. Terry Prachett
There is nothing in the world more difficult than candor, and nothing easier than flattery. If there is a hundredth of a fraction of a false note to candor, it immediately produces dissonance, and as a result, exposure. But in flattery, even if everything is false down to the last note, it is still pleasant, and people will listen not without pleasure; with coarse pleasure, perhaps, but pleasure nevertheless. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Rene Dubos quote: "Human diversity makes tolerance more than a virtue; it makes..."
Human diversity makes tolerance more than a virtue; it makes it a requirement for survival. Rene Dubos
Horror and doubt distract. His troubled thoughts and from the bottom stir. The Hell within him, for within him Hell. He brings and round about him, nor from Hell. One step no more than from himself can fly. By change of place. John Milton
And that must end us, that must be our cure: To be no more. Sad cure! For who would lose, Though full of pain, this intellectual being, Those thoughts that wander through eternity, To perish, rather, swallowed up and lost. In the wide womb of uncreated night. Devoid of sense and motion? John Milton
Many more people could ride out the storm-tossed waves in their economic lives if they had their year's supply of food…and were debt-free. Today we find that many have followed this counsel in reverse: they have at least a year's supply of debt and are food-free. Thomas S. Monson
There are many who find a good alibi far more attractive than an achievement. For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day; we have to prove that we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life. Eric Hoffer
Martie came out of the office first, smiling prettily, and Dusty rose to greet her, smiling less prettily, and Dr. Ahriman entered the waiting room behind her, smiling paternally, and maybe Dusty smiled a little more prettily when he saw the psychiatrist, because the man virtually radiated competence and compassion and confidence and all sorts of good stuff. Dean Koontz
Dean Koontz quote: "Life had not taught me to distrust ministers, but it had..."
Life had not taught me to distrust ministers, but it had taught me to trust no one more than dogs. Dean Koontz
Maya Angelou quote: "The human heart...tells us that we are more alike than we are..."
The human heart...tells us that we are more alike than we are unalike. Maya Angelou
Of course it would cost something, but he was an expert in cutting corners; and when there were no more corners left he would make circles rounder. Bernard Malamud
I have been a lucky man. To feel the intimacy of brothers is a marvelous thing in life. To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life. But to feel the affection that comes from those whom we do not know, from those unknown to us, who are watching over our sleep and solitude, over our dangers and our weaknesses? that is something still greater and more beautiful because it widens out the boundaries of our being, and unites all living things. Pablo Neruda
Frank O'Hara quote: "There should be so much more, not of orange, of words, of how..."
There should be so much more, not of orange, of words, of how terrible orange is and life. Frank O'Hara
I am writing this under an appreciable mental strain, since by tonight I shall be no more. Penniless, and at the end of my supply of the drug which alone makes life endurable, I can bear the torture no longer; and shall cast myself from this garret window into the squalid street below. H. P. Lovecraft
