Random Quotes and Quotations
 Eat when you're hungry. Drink when you're thirsty. Sleep when you're tired.  Whatever advice you give, be short. - Horace The relatives of a suicide always take it in bad part, that he did not remain alive out of consideration for the family dignity. Population growth is the primary source of environmental damage. In a world that holds books and babies and canyon trails, why should one condemn oneself to live day in, day out with people one does not like, and sell oneself to chaperone and correct them? The simple faith in progress is not a conviction belonging to strength, but one belonging to acquiescence and hence to weakness. The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow. One can live in this world on soothsaying but not on truth saying. To find a friend one must close one eye. To keep him ... two. The Greeks, who knew everything, understood that without the orgy there is no middle ground between bedlam and Toronto ... we need the healing grace of the orgy in this country. Hope is the parent of faith. For an idea ever to be fashionable is ominous, since it must afterwards be always old-fashioned. Forsake not an old friend, for the new is not comparable unto him. A new friend is as new wine: when it is old thou shalt drink it with pleasure. You can promote your healing by your thinking. We accept the verdict of the past until the need for change cries out loudly enough to force upon us a choice between the comforts of further inertia and the irksomeness of action. The guts carry the feet, not the feet the guts. Friends are relatives you make for yourself. I see their souls, and I hold them in my hands, and because I love them they weigh nothing. The history of human growth is at the same time the history of every new idea heralding the approach of a brighter dawn, and the brighter dawn has always been considered illegal, outside of the law. To accept ourselves as we are means to value our imperfections as much as our perfections.
