Let us be true: this is the highest maxim of art and of life, the secret of eloquence and of virtue, and of all moral authority.

-Henri Frederic Amiel

Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.

- Mark Twain

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire.


-Aristotle

"Seize the moment of excited curiosity on any subject to solve your doubts; for if you let it pass, the desire may never return, and you may remain in ignorance."

William Wirt

True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance.


-Akhenaton

"Ignorance is not bliss - it is oblivion."

Philip Wylie

"But what is all this fear of and opposition to Oblivion? What is the matter with the soft Darkness, the Dreamless Sleep?"

James Thurber

Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone.


- Anthony Burgess

An artist is always alone -- if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.

-Henry Miller

Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.
