I envy the people who say, 'oh, well, I've got my name in the golden book and I'm going to be entered into the pearly gates.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been a golden boy for too long.
So see every opportunity as golden, and keep your eyes on the prize - yours, not anybody else's.
Every few years, I think, 'Maybe now I'm finally smart enough or sophisticated enough to understand 'Ulysses.' So I pick it up and try it again. And by page 10, as always, I'm like, 'What the hell?'
Do you think that you shall enter the Garden of Bliss without such trials as came to those who passed before you?
The politics of surprise leads through the Gates of Astonishment into the Kingdom of Hope.
'Ulysses' is like a big box of tricks that you can dive into. Each time you read it, you find something new.
Once you finish a book, you let it go out into the world to seek its fortune.
Happy the man who, like Ulysses, has made a fine voyage, or has won the Golden Fleece, and then returns, experienced and knowledgeable, to spend the rest of his life among his family.
A book store is a treasure chest. Every time you walk in one, you strike gold.
I'm going to Heaven just like the thief on the cross who said in that last moment: 'Lord, remember me.'
