Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.
From Henry Miller
Life, as it is called, is for most of us one long postponement.
Any genuine philosophy leads to action and from action back again to wonder, to the enduring fact of mystery.

If men cease to believe that they will one day become gods then they will surely become worms.
What distinguishes the majority of men from the few is their ability to act according to their beliefs.
What does it matter how one comes by the truth so long as one pounces upon it and lives by it?
The world is the mirror of myself dying.
The Teutons have been singing the swan song ever since they entered the ranks of history. They have always confounded truth with death.
It does me good to write a letter which is not a response to a demand, a gratuitous letter, so to speak, which has accumulated in me like the waters of a reservoir.
