In real life, it is the hare who wins. Every time. Look around you. And in any case it is my contention that Aesop was writing for the tortoise market. Hares have no time to read. They are too busy winning the game.
From Anita Brookner
Old men should have more care to end life well than to live long.
No blame should attach to telling the truth. But it does, it does.
Real love is a pilgrimage. It happens when there is no strategy, but it is very rare because most people are strategists.
A man of such obvious and exemplary charm must be a liar.
It is my contention that Aesop was writing for the tortoise market. hares have no time to read.
Time misspent in youth is sometimes all the freedom one ever has.
The lessons taught in great books are misleading. The commerce in life is rarely so simple and never so just.
Writing novels preserves you in a state of innocence - a lot passes you by - simply because your attention is otherwise diverted.
Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.
