Haruki Murakami quote: "[...] Shimamoto had her own little world within her. A world..."
[...] Shimamoto had her own little world within her. A world that was for her alone, one I could not enter. Haruki Murakami
I am afraid I am one of those people who continues to read in the hope of sometime discovering in a book a single—and singular—piece of wisdom so penetrating, so soul stirring, so utterly applicable to my own life as to make all the bad books I have read seem well worth the countless hours spent on them. My guess is that this wisdom, if it ever arrives, will do so in the form of a generalization. Joseph Epstein
Napolean Hill quote: "Your only limitation is the one you set up in your own mind!"
Your only limitation is the one you set up in your own mind! Napolean Hill

She had a brainy girls discomfort about her own beauty and its effects on folks. David Foster Wallace
Every one of these things I said was a knife at myself. Everything I had ever secretly held against my brother was coming out: how ugly I was and what filth I was discovering in the depths of my own impure psychologies (214). Jack Kerouac
George Santayana quote: "The body must be loosely clad if the mind is to forget it and..."
The body must be loosely clad if the mind is to forget it and impetuously lead its own life. George Santayana
No, I am that I am, and they that level. At my abuses, reckon up their own; I may be straight, though they themselves be bevel.--Sonnet 121 William Shakespeare
That's a good question. I don't really remember what it was like before. Whatever I had going on, it was bullshit. It wasn't important. It's kind of a nice thing about being a dad. My identity is really about them now, and what I can do for them, so it sort of takes the pressure off of your own life. What am I going to do, who am I? Who cares, you've got to get your kids to school. So I like it that way. Louis C. K.
I could not be happy with a man whose taste did not in every point coincide with my own. He must enter in all my feelings; the same books, the same music must charm us both. Jane Austen
...but at the end of every show we would realize that true happiness often lies where you very least expect it. It might arrive in a form of a gentle breeze or a handful of peanuts, but when it came, we would seize it with our own brand of folksy wisdom. David Sedaris
Samuel Johnson quote: "A man must assume the moral burden of his own boredom."
A man must assume the moral burden of his own boredom. Samuel Johnson
Why is it that a dog's menstruation made her lighthearted and gay, while her own menstruation made her squeamish? The answer seems simple to me: dogs were never expelled from Paradise. Karenin knew nothing about the duality of body and soul and had no concept of disgust. That is why Tereza felt so free and easy with him. (And that is why it is so dangerous to turn an animal into a machina animata, a cow into an automaton for the production of milk. By so doing, man cuts the thread binding him... Milan Kundera
I do not wish you much happiness--it would bore you; I do not wish you trouble either; but, following the people's philosophy, I will simply repeat: 'Live more' and try somehow not to be too bored; this useless wish I am adding on my own. Fyodor Dostoevsky
why should I seek to change, what has been so precious to me for so long! you can never show better than as your own natural self Charles Dickens
what I want you to be - I don't mean physically but morally: you are very well physically - is a firm fellow, a fine firm fellow, with a will of your own, with resolution. with determination. with strength of character that is not to be influenced except on good reason by anybody, or by anything. That's what I want you to be. That's what your father, & your mother might both have been Charles Dickens
