“Why is it that the stupidest people are always the most good-natured?”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“And now once again I asked myself the question: do I love her? And once more I could not answer, that is to say, again, for the hundreth time, I answered that I hated her.”
The Gambler • Fyodor Dostoevski“We are most nearly ourselves when we achieve the seriousness of the child at play.”
Fragments • Heraclitus“I have said that Texas is a state of mind, but I think it is more than that. It is a mystique closely approximating a religion. And this is true to the extent that people either passionately love Texas or passionately hate it and, as in other religions, few people dare to inspect it for fear of losing their bearings in mystery or paradox.”
Travels with Charley: In Search of America • John Steinbeck“We are all convention; convention carries us away, and we neglect the substance of things. . . . We dare not call our parts by their right names, but are not afraid to use them for every sort of debauchery.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne
