Talent imitates, but genius steals.
not fare well, but fare forward
Survival is your strength not your shame.
People to whom nothing has ever happened cannot understand the unimportance of events.
We have all our private terrors, our particular shadows, our secret fears. We are afraid in a fear which we cannot face, which none understands, and our hearts are torn from us, our brains unskinned like the layers of an onion, ourselves the last.
Those who say they give the public what it wants begin by underestimating public taste and end by debauching it.
