“Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.”
Lady Windermere's Fan • Oscar Wilde“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“Before the spread of alphabetic writing, systems making much use of logograms were more common and included Egyptian hieroglyphs, Maya glyphs, and Sumerian cuneiform.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“Even as the Sun doth not wait for prayers and incantations to rise, but shines forth and is welcomed by all: so thou also wait not for clapping of hands and shouts and praise to do thy duty; nay, do good of thine own accord, and thou wilt be loved like the Sun.”
Fragment • Epictetus“The unconscious self is the real genius. Your breathing goes wrong the moment your conscious self meddles with it.”
Maxim for Revolutionists • George Bernard Shaw
