Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other.
Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
Anton Chekhov
Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
Mark Twain
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
George Bernard Shaw
Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.
Brendan Gill
It has always been my private conviction that any man who puts his intelligence up against a fish and loses had it coming.
John Steinbeck
I've seen a look in dogs' eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts.
John Steinbeck
It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world.
John Steinbeck
No man really knows about other human beings. The best he can do is to suppose that they are like himself.
John Steinbeck
The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true.
John Steinbeck
We spend our time searching for security and hate it when we get it.
John Steinbeck
"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It's yours."
-Ayn Rand, from Atlas Shrugged
"As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment. And then the moment was gone."
"As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment. Then gradually time awakened again and moved sluggishly on."
John Steinbeck, "Of Mice And Men"
