Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "We need to be reminded more than we need to be instructed"
We need to be reminded more than we need to be instructed Gilbert K. Chesterton
I'm a licensed private investigator and have been for quite a while. I'm a lone wolf, unmarried, getting middle-aged, and not rich. I've been in jail more than once and I don't do divorce business. I like liquor and women and chess and a few other things. The cops don't like me too well, but I know a couple I get along with. I'm a native son, born in Santa Rosa, both parents dead, no brothers or sisters, and when I get knocked off in a dark alley sometime, if it happens, as it could to anyone... Raymond Chandler
Thomas Pynchon quote: "It takes, unhappily, no more than a desk and writing supplies..."
It takes, unhappily, no more than a desk and writing supplies to turn any room into a confessional. Thomas Pynchon
George Eliot quote: "But a good wife—a good unworldly woman—may really help a man,..."
But a good wife—a good unworldly woman—may really help a man, and keep him more independent. George Eliot

You mean you ca’n’t take less,” said the Hatter: “it’s very easy to take more than nothing. Lewis Carroll
How much misery…how much needless despair has been caused by a series of biological mismatches, a misalignment of the hormones and pheromones? Resulting in the fact that the one you love so passionately won’t or can’t love you. As a species we’re pathetic in that way: imperfectly monogamous. If only we could pair-bond for life, like gibbons, or else opt for total-guilt free promiscuity, there’d be no more sexual torment. You’d never want someone you couldn’t have’ ‘…But think what we’d be... Margaret Atwood
Do one thing every day that scares you...Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own...Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth. Mary Schmich
Orson Scott Card quote: "I must rejoice that I am part of her, instead of resenting..."
I must rejoice that I am part of her, instead of resenting that I am not more of her. Orson Scott Card
Like winds and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away with them. Now we face the question whether a still higher 'standard of living' is worth its cost in things natural, wild and free. For us of the minority, the opportunity to see geese is more important that television. Aldo Leopold
Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he’s been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to just be people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time rail journey…delays…sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling... Gordon B. Hinckley
What do I mean when I say I love Gale? I don't know. I did kiss him last night, in a moment when my emotions were running so high. But I'm sure he doesn't remember it. Does he? I hope not. If he does, everything will just get more complicated and I really can't think about kissing when I've got a rebellion to incite. Suzanne Collins
They killed him because he was too innocent to live. He was young and ignorant and silly and he got involved. He had no more of a notion than any of you what the whole affair's about . . . Graham Greene
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "A sunset a forest a snow storm a certain river view are more..."
A sunset a forest a snow storm a certain river view are more to me than many friends. Ralph Waldo Emerson
He's a very handsome man, is the captain," said Jeaneatte. . ."You shouldn't think about handsome men, child," said Mrs. Greenow."And I'm sure I don't," said Jeanette. "Not more than anybody else; but if a man is handsome, ma'am, why, it stands to reason that he is handsome. Anthony Trollope
