Whenever you find yourself on the side of he majority, it is time to pause and reflect Mark Twain

I don't know, now, when I first looked at Hella and found her stale, found her body uninteresting, her presence grating. It seemed to happen all at once—I suppose that only means that it had been happening for a long time. James Baldwin
J. M. Barrie quote: "Forever is a very long time Peter"
Forever is a very long time Peter J. M. Barrie
It is not your passing thoughts or brilliant ideas so much as your plain everyday habits that control your life.... Live simply. Don’t get caught in the machine of the world— it is too exacting. By the time you get what you are seeking your nerves are gone, the heart is damaged, and the bones are aching. Resolve to develop your spiritual powers more earnestly from now on. Learn the art of right living. If you have joy you have everything, so learn to be glad and contented.... Have happiness now. Paramahansa Yogananda
Walter Mosley quote: "I hit him more times than necessary but by then my actions..."
I hit him more times than necessary but by then my actions were mostly chemical, like a soldier ant or a teenager in love. Walter Mosley
It may be that he who bestows the largest amount of time and money on the needy is doing the most by his mode of life to produce that misery which he strives in vain to relieve. Henry David Thoreau

I've never really liked the Yanks. ... You can't trust people who pick up the ball all the time when they play football. Terry Prachett
