Death is frightening, and so is Eternal Life.
From Mason Cooley
Consciousness is our only reprieve from Time.
Some loves are like a vice that has ceased to give pleasure.
After my spectacular failures, I could not be satisfied with an ordinary success.
The only peace is being out of earshot.
The man of sensibility is too busy talking about his feelings to have time for good deeds.
The sage belongs to the same obsolete repertory as the virtuous maiden and the enlightened monarch.
While there's life, there's fear.
The beginning of self-knowledge: recognizing that your motives are the same as other people's.
I read less and less. I have not forgiven books for their failure to tell me the truth and make me happy.
