By this method thousands of humans have been brought to think that humility means pretty women trying to believe they are ugly and clever men trying to believe they are fools. And since what they are trying to believe may, in some cases, be manifest nonsense, they cannot succeed in believing it and we have the chance of keeping their minds endlessly revolving on themselves in an effort to achieve the the impossible. C. S. Lewis
William Blake quote: "Sweet babe, in thy face Soft desires I can trace, Secret joys..."
Sweet babe, in thy face Soft desires I can trace, Secret joys and secret smiles, Little pretty infant wiles. William Blake
Woody Allen quote: "Love is the answer, but while you are waiting for the answer,..."
Love is the answer, but while you are waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions. Woody Allen
When I was young and miserable and pretty. And poor, I'd wish. What all girls wish: to have a husband, A house and children. Now that I'm old, my wish. Is womanish: That the boy putting groceries in my car. See me. Randall Jarrell
