A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him.

(Aesop)

A ‘no’ does not hide anything, but a ‘yes’ very easily becomes a deception.

(Soren Kierkegaard)

[waiting-eyez]

Nowadays not even a suicide kills himself in desperation. Before taking the step he deliberates so long and so carefully that he literally chokes with thought. It is even questionable whether he ought to be called a suicide, since it is really thought which takes his life. He does not die with deliberation but from deliberation.

(Soren Kierkegaard)

I remember in my early 20s when I felt I couldn't live past 30. I was learning how to write. I had a lot of hard work ahead of me.

(Carl Sandburg)

One tradition I have with my friends is that when one of us gets married, we have a ton of fragrance oils and pretty bottles at the bachelorette party. Everyone puts a drop or two in a bottle for the bride and makes a wish, and the bride wears our creation on her wedding day.

I saw A Little Romance [and] I was so in love with Laurence Olivier. I watched that movie over and over and just fell in love with love.

Living with reality is a very good trick, it gives you tremendous freedom and it changes the structure of the molecules of your soul by living with reality because you don’t expect anything anymore. Which is a weird paradox.

(Anthony Hopkins)

I love to read, and so I’ve been reading everything I can, not intensely, but I love to read so I read “Origin of Species” by Darwin and I can’t make head or tail of E=MC squared by Einstein, but I try to baffle my way through that.

(Anthony Hopkins)

Boys will be boys. And even that wouldn’t matter if only we could prevent girls from being girls.

(Anne Frank)

[waiting-eyez]

We aren’t allowed to have any opinions. People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but it doesn’t stop you having your own opinion. Even if people are still very young, they shouldn’t be prevented from saying what they think.

(Anne Frank)

[waiting-eyez]

Let’s not talk about it any more, but if you still want anything please write to me about it, because I can say what I mean much better on paper.

(Anne Frank)

Hunger is a powerful incentive to introspection.

(Willa Cather)

[waiting-eyez]

Ah! The terror and the delight of that moment when first we fear ourselves! Until then we have not lived.

Most of the basic material a writer works with is acquired before the age of fifteen.

The greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity to feel the pain
