philosophy

"Few if any seemed to have grasped the Principle of Reality; new knowledge leads always to yet more awesome mysteries. Greater physiological knowledge of the brain makes the existence of the soul less possible yet more probable by the nature of the search."

"In some remote corner of the universe, poured out and glittering in innumerable solar systems, there once was a star on which clever animals invented knowledge. That was the haughtiest and most mendacious minute of "world history"- yet only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths the star grew cold, and the clever animals had to die."

"Our natures are, indeed, elusively insubstantial—notoriously less stable and less inherent than the nature of other things. And insofar as this is the case, sincerity itself is bullshit."

"This is why they started us here so young: to give ourselves away before the age when the questions 'why' and 'to what' grow real beaks and claws."

"When you don't fit in anymore, eat less."

"the exclusive worship of the bitch-goddess sucess is our national disease"

"Quote words that affirmall men and women are yourbrothers and sisters."

"It takes three to make love, not two: you, your spouse, and God. Without God people only succeed in bringing out the worst in one another. Lovers who have nothing else to do but love each other soon find there is nothing else. Without a central loyalty life is unfinished."

"Oh my dear! I think about you always and miss you forever."

"How small a thought it takes to fill a life."

"I shiver, thinking how easy it is to be totally wrong about people-to see one tiny part of them and confuse it for the whole, to see the cause and think it's the effect or vice versa"

"Between living and dreaming there is a third thing. Guess it."

"Escalators are the offspring of elevators and stairs. Love is the progeny of passion and admiration."

"[T]he price you've paid is not the price of becoming human. It's not even the price of having the things you just mentioned. It's the price of enacting a story that casts mankind as the enemy of the world."

"Fugly Fishmates For every woman that looks like a hatchet-faced haddockthere's an equally ugly flounder-faced man with even fewer prospects."

"In the world of art, all things are possible.--George from Paradise Kiss"

"Visible objects therefore do not perish utterly, since nature repairs one thing from another and allows nothing to be born without the aid of another's death."

"Every man knows that he will die: and nobody believes it. On that paradox stand not only a host of religions but the entity of a sane being."

"Men are made for happiness, and he who is completely happy has the right to say to himself, 'I am doing God's will on earth."

"Always ask the questions you want to, life is too short to know if you'll get a second chance to ask , and afterlife is probably too long to wonder what the answer may be."
