Mc Lovin 797 Report post Posted June 9, 2012 quotes from the art of war - Sun Tzu. 600 BC All warfare is based on deception. Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across. The best victory is when the opponent surrenders of its own accord before there are any actual hostilities... It is best to win without fighting. Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance. For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill. and Jack handy - " I think the mistake a lot of us make is thinking the state-appointed psychiatrist is our "friend.""

Philander39 3705 Report post Posted June 25, 2012 Having had some very lovely meetings with some literary local SP's (Nathalie Lefebvre and Julie Wilde) when I found these two quotes I knew I had to bring the up here. "Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers" Charles William Eliot "We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck them." John Waters 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gia Wren Marlowe 67985 Report post Posted June 25, 2012 I've often found that the good and the bad in life are thoroughly intermingled. I believe that trying to avoid the bad will not get you the best outcome a lot of the time. There's a lot of chance involved, and a lot of luck comes from your ability to adapt. So I like the following observations by Casanova and Sartre. My success and my misfortunes, the bright and the dark days I have gone through, everything has proved to me that in this world, either physical or moral, good comes out of evil just as well as evil comes out of good. Giacomo Casanova Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you. Jean-Paul Sartre I like the next quote because it explains something I never could without sounding bleak and depressing. I have always tried to explain it this way: I can't think about the past without feeling some sense of impending doom. I couldn't put my finger on it for a long time, but I eventually worked out that my sense of continuity between who I was and who I am is not very strong. So the feeling of doom was the feeling that in a few years I would be gone and someone else would be there. It's not as awful as it sounds, and as I said, the next quote puts it much better than I do. All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

MightyPen 67414 Report post Posted June 26, 2012 "Life is a series of short stories pretending to be a novel." Anonymous. I've liked that one since I first heard it in my 20s, and it's only grown in truth as I've aged. We're inconsistent creatures, and the events in our lives are often disjointed and arbitrary. We try to weave them into something like a consistent narrative as we look back, but... Plus, each of us is a multitude; there are different "us"-es at play at different times, and they don't always make sense to each other. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nntsci 11076 Report post Posted June 26, 2012 Some of my favourite Mark Twain quotes Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it A gentleman is someone who knows how to play the banjo and doesn't. Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint. Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn't. In order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to obtain.
