After a lifetime of deep thought, I've decided that life is a distraction, but probably not from anything important.

An art critic is someone who appreciates art, except for any particular piece of art.

There is no daily chore so trivial that it cannot be made important by skipping it two days running.

There is in every truth a wise saying, and in every contradiction, two wise sayings.

There is a logical explanation for everything, often mistaken for the reason it happened.

One is more apt to become wise by doing fool things than by reading wise sayings.

Alexandros of Antioch took a block of marble and chiseled away from it everything that was not his masterpiece, the Venus de Milo. If you will chisel away one fault from your character every day, you may discover - a) that you're actually a statue of Margaret Thatcher. b) that you're still just a block of marble. c) that there are pigeon droppings on your shoes. d) that you, too, are a hidden masterpiece.
