Quote Left Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable. Quote Right
Quote Left I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of "Admin." The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid "dens of crime" that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern. Quote Right

Quote Left Five senses; an incurably abstract intellect; a haphazardly selective memory; a set of preconceptions and assumptions so numerous that I can never examine more than minority of them - never become conscious of them all. How much of total reality can such an apparatus let through? Quote Right
Quote Left Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adults themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.... When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up. Quote Right
Quote Left Mortal lovers must not try to remain at the first step for lasting passion is the dream of a harlot and from it we wake in despair. Quote Right
Quote Left Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... it has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival. Quote Right
Quote Left And Nothing is very strong: strong enough to steal away a man's best years not in sweet sins but in a dreary flickering of the mind over it knows not what and knows not why, in the gratification of curiosities so feeble that the man is only half aware of them, in drumming of fingers and kicking of heels, in whistling tunes that he does not like, or in the long, dim labyrinth of reveries that have not even lust or ambition to give them a relish, but which, once chance association has started them, the creature is too weak and fuddled to shake off. Quote Right
Quote Left Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art...It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. Quote Right
Quote Left Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: What! You too? I thought I was the only one. Quote Right
Quote Left I have found a desire within myself that no experience in this world can satisfy; the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. Quote Right
Quote Left If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalist for the same reasons. Quote Right
Quote Left Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives. Quote Right
Quote Left No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good. Quote Right
Quote Left I believe in God like I believe in the sun, not because I can see it, but because of it all things are seen. Quote Right
Quote Left No one ever told me that grief felt so much like fear. Quote Right
Quote Left Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn. Quote Right
Quote Left Do not let us mistake necessary evils for good. Quote Right
Quote Left Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy. Quote Right
Quote Left No one ever told me grief felt so much like fear. Quote Right
Quote Left Every poem can be considered in two ways--as what the poet has to say, and as a thing which he makes. Quote Right
Quote Left ...we sacrifice other species to our own not because our own has any objective metaphysical privilege over others, but simply because it is ours. It may be very natural to have this loyalty to our own species, but let us hear no more from the naturalists about the "sentimentality" of anti-vivisectionists. If loyalty to our own species--preference for man simply because we are men--is not sentiment, then what is? Quote Right
Quote Left A pleasure is not full grown until it is remembered. Quote Right
Quote Left Badness is only spoiled goodness. Quote Right
Quote Left You ask whether I have ever been in love: fool as I am, I am not such a fool as that. But if one is only to talk from first-hand experience, conversation would be a very poor business. But though I have no personal experience of the things they call love, I have what is better -- the experience of Sappho, of Euripides, of Catallus, of Shakespeare, of Spenser, of Austen, of Bronte, of anyone else I have read. Quote Right
Quote Left It still remains true that no justification of virtue will enable a man to be virtuous. Quote Right
Quote Left A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell. Quote Right
Quote Left Dualism is a truncated metaphysic Quote Right
Quote Left There are times when God asks nothing of his children except silence, patience and tears. Quote Right
Quote Left I believe Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen, not because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. Quote Right

Quote Left “The creative process is more often than not euphoric. When euphoria becomes overwhelming resistance kicks in bringing doubt and self-doubt.

Quote Left The one who wrote, Truth is self-evident, was correct...profoundly in touch with spiritual Truth. I have said this before, but I will say it again, if I have to convince myself, as to whether something is right or wrong, go though a litany of gymnastic thought -- it is probably wrong! Truth doesn't require knowledge...it does not require proving -- it is like God's presence -- we just know...and that fact is unshakable, regardless of the profound consequences. Quote Right

Quote Left Long past is the purview of measured discourse. Civility must, of necessity, yield to passions rougher embrace. Quote Right
Quote Left Adversity has a way of bringing everything into focus. A way of distilling what matters from the detritus of our everyday lives. Quote Right
Quote Left What must be acknowledged is that even the detritus of a failed system is fertile ground and the expectations that formed such flawed constructs will bloom frivolously within that context. Quote Right
Quote Left No institution can exist that purportedly upholds the rule of law by breaking it. No institution that has become the prime offender of citizens rights can claim to protect them. Experience has shown that governments are not immune to corruption and therefore are bound by necessity, when required, to reformation. Prudence dictates corruption abrogates the ability for self correction and so remedy must be accomplished through external means. Quote Right
Quote Left Our primary concern lacks the proper control. Those with primary control lack the proper concern. Quote Right
