“The discipline of the written word punishes both stupidity and dishonesty.”
In Awe of Words • John Steinbeck“All colors and blends of Americans have somewhat the same tendencies. It's a breed — selected out by accident. And so we're overbrave and overfearful — we're kind and cruel as children. We're overfriendly and at the same time frightened of strangers. We boast and are impressed. We're oversentimental and realistic. We are mundane and materialistic — and do you know of any other nation that acts for ideals? We eat too much. We have no taste, no sense of proportion. We throw our energy about like waste. In the old lands they say of us that we go from barbarism to decadence without an intervening culture.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck““Being in love shows a person who he should be.””
The Duel • Anton Chekhov“What people call insincerity is simply a method by which we can multiply our personalities.”
The Critic as Artist • Oscar Wilde““You must know that the human heart must be very large to contain all those you love.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos
