I love cats. I love their grace and their elegance. I love their independence and their arrogance, and the way they lie and look at you, summing you up, surely to your detriment, with that unnerving, unwinking, appraising stare.
Joyce Stranger
Jesus was a bachelor and never lived with a woman. Surely living with a woman is one of the most difficult things a man has to do, and he never did it.
James Joyce
Well-ordered self-love is right and natural.
Thomas Aquinas
Why dont you write books people can read
Nora Barnacle
We begin to live when we have conceived life as a tragedy.
William Butler Yeats
There is no reason why the same man should like the same book at 18 and at 48.
Ezra Loomis Pound
Space flights are merely an escape, a fleeing away from oneself, because it is easier to go to Mars or to the moon than it is to penetrate one's own being
Carl Gustav Jung
The foolish man lies awake all night Thinking of his many problems; When the morning comes he is worn out And his trouble is just as it was.
Norse Proverb
Use what talents you have; the woods would have little music if no birds sang their song except those who sang best.
Reverend Oliver G Wilson
Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.
Jorge Luis Borges
I have never seen a more lucid, better balanced, mad mind than mine.
