My soul is impatient with itself, as with a bothersome child; its restlessness keeps growing and is forever the same. Everything interests me, but nothing holds me. I attend to everything, dreaming all the while. I’m two, and both keep their distance—Siamese twins that aren’t attached.

Fernando Pessoa

You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another.

THE ILIAD, HOMER

We create the illusions we need to go on. And one day, when they no longer dazzle or comfort, we tear them down, brick by glittering brick, until we are left with nothing but the bright light of honesty. The light is liberating. Necessary. Terrifying. We stand naked and emptied before it. And when it is too much for our eyes to take, we build a new illusion to shield us from its relentless truth.

Libba Bray



Whenever we read the obscene stories, voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a Demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind, and, for my part, I sincerely detest it as I detest everything that is cruel.

THOMAS PAINE

Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

SYDNEY J. HARRIS, STRICTLY PERSONAL

Whoops” is a word that should never be said by some professions - Pilots, Racing car drivers, and hair colorists come immediately to mind but Dentists also have to be up in the top five.

RICHARD STUBBS, COMEDIAN, BOOK - ” STILL LIFE”

“ I live to succeed, not to please you or anyone else."

Marilyn Monroe

“ There are only two people who can tell you the truth about yourself —- an enemy who has lost his temper and a friend who loves you dearly."

Antisthenes
