A man who has never made a woman angry is a failure in life. April prepares her green traffic light, and the world thinks GO!Beauty is ever to the lonely mind a shadow fleeting; she is never plain. She is a visitor who leaves behind the gift of grief, the souvenir of pain. Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.Cherish all your happy moments: they make a fine cushion for old age. Dancing is a wonderful training for girls, it's the first way you learn to guess what a man is going to do before he does it. Dancing is wonderful training for girls; it's the first place you learn to guess what a man is going to do before he does it. Few girls are as well shaped as a good horse.God made man merely to hear some praise of what he'd done on those Five Days.Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water. High heels were invented by a woman who had been kissed on the forehead. Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs. I had a million questions to ask God: but when I met Him, they all fled my mind; and it didn't seem to matter. If we all discovered that we had only five minutes left to say all that we wanted to say, every telephone booth would be occupied by people calling other people to tell them that they loved them. In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty. Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it. Lots of times you have to pretend to join a parade in which you're not really interested in order to get where you're going. My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed.New York, the nation's thyroid gland.No man is lonely while eating spaghetti - it requires too much attention.No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as a dog does.- Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day,
something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one
else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to
continually be part of unanimity.The big shots are only the little shots who keep shooting. The courage of the poets is to keep ajar the door that leads into madness.The enemies of the future are always the very nicest people.The greatest poem ever known
Is one all poets have outgrown:
The poetry, innate, untold,
Of being only four years old.The plural of spouse is spice. There is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It is like falling in love. There is no squabbling so violent as that between people who accepted an idea yesterday and those who will accept the same idea tomorrow. There is only one rule for being a good talker - learn to listen.There is only one success--to be able to spend your life in your own way. Truth is always twins.When you sell a man a book you don't sell him just 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue-you sell him a whole new life. Where it is a duty to worship the sun it is pretty sure to be a crime
to examine the laws of heat. |
