No one will be much or little except in someone else's mind, so be careful of the minds you get into.

Life is painful, nasty and short.. in my case it has only been painful and nasty.

This head has risen above its hair in a moment of abandon known only to men who have drawn their feet out of their boots to walk awhile in the corridors of the mind.

A man's sorrow runs uphill; true it is difficult for him to bear, but it is also difficult for him to keep.

One cup poured into another makes different waters; tears shed by one eye would blind if wept into another's eye. The breast we strike in joy is not the breast we strike in pain; any man's smile would be consternation on another's mouth.

Too great a sense of identity makes a man feel he can do no wrong. And too little does the same.

The unendurable is the beginning of the curve of joy.
