A perfect method for adding drama to life is to wait until the deadline looms large. ~ Alyce P. Cornyn-Selby The stride of passengers off an airplane is always jauntier than the stride on ~ Tom Clancy If you see a whole thing - it seems that it's always beautiful. Planets, lives.... But close up a world's all dirt and rocks. And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. ~ Ursula K. LeGuin As against having beautiful workshops, studios, etc., one writes best in a cellar on a rainy day. ~ Van Wyck Brooks I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble. ~ Helen Keller It is easier to accept the message of the stars than the message of the salt desert. The stars speak of man's insignificance in the long eternity of time; the deserts speak of his insignificance right now. - Edwin Way Teale Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time. ~ Sir John Lubbock Where there is great
love, there are always miracles.
Accustomed to the
veneer of noise, to the shibboleths of promotion, public relations, and
market research, society is suspicious of those who value silence. The universe is made of stories, not atoms. ~ Muriel Rukeyse It is not enough to conquer; one must learn to seduce ~ Voltaire We've put more effort into helping folks reach old age than into helping them enjoy it. ~ Frank A. Clark It takes strength to be gentle and kind. ~ Stephen Morrissey She plucked from my lapel the invisible strand of lint (the universal act of woman to proclaim ownership). ~ O.Henry There is but an inch of difference between the cushioned chamber and the padded cell. ~ G.K. Chesterton, 1874-1936 Better a cruel truth than a comfortable delusion. ~ Edward Abbey A wise man does not spend his time, he invests it. ~ Alfred A. Montapert To create man was a quaint and original idea, but to add the sheep was tautology. ~ Mark Twain Tautology: redundancy The whole secret in the study of nature lies in learning how to use one’s eyes. ~ George Sand |
