When shall I at last retire into solitude alone, without companions, without joy and without sorrow, with only the sacred certainty that all is a dream? When, in my rags—without desires—shall I retire contented into the mountains?

Robert A. Heinlein quote: "I know why we laugh. We laugh because it hurts, and it's the..."
I know why we laugh. We laugh because it hurts, and it's the only thing to make it stop hurting. Robert A. Heinlein
If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love. Don't be surly at home, then go out in the street and start grinning 'Good morning' at total strangers. Maya Angelou
Time takes it all whether you want it to or not, time takes it all. Time bares it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again. Stephen King
Ernest Hemingway quote: "There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and..."
There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games. Ernest Hemingway
I have no spur. To prick the sides of my intent, but only. Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself. And falls on the other. William Shakespeare
Buy what you don’t have yet, or what you really want, which can be mixed with what you already own. Buy only because something excites you, not just for the simple act of shopping. Karl Lagerfeld
...to bring a child into existence without a fair prospect of being able, not only to provide food for its body, but instruction and training for its mind is a moral crime, both against the unfortunate offspring and against society John Stuart Mill
