"You often get a better hold upon a problem by going away from it for a time and dismissing it from your mind altogether."	Frank H. Crane
"Nothing more rapidly inclines a person to go into a monastery than reading a book on etiquette. There are so many trivial ways in which it is possible to commit some social sin."	Quentin Crisp
"Father Time is not always a hard parent, and, though he tarries for none of his children, often lays his hand lightly upon those who have used him well; making them old men and women inexorably enough, but leaving their hearts and spirits young and in full vigour. With such people the grey head is but the impression of the old fellow's hand in giving them his blessing, and every wrinkle but a notch in the quiet calendar of a well-spent life."	Quentin Crisp
"Making a wrong decision is understandable. Refusing to search continually for learning is not."	Philip
"Existence, as we know it, is full of sorrow. To mention only one minor point: every man is a condemned criminal, only he does not know the date of his execution. This is unpleasant for every man. Consequently every man does everything possible to postpone the date, and would sacrifice anything that he has if he could reverse the sentence. Practically all religions and all philosophies have started thus crudely, by promising their adherents some such reward as immortality. No religion has failed hitherto by not promising enough; the present breaking up of all religions is due to the fact that people have asked to see the securities. Men have even renounced the important material advantages which a well-organized religion may confer upon a State, rather than acquiesce in fraud or falsehood, or even in any system which, if not proved guilty, is at least unable to demonstrate its innocence. Being more or less bankrupt, the best thing that we can do is to attack the problem afresh without preconceived ideas. Let us begin by doubting every statement. Let us find a way of subjecting every statement to the test of experiment. Is there any truth at all in the claims of various religions? Let us examine the question."	Aleister Crowley
"I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than to teach ten thousand stars how not to dance."	E(dward) E(stlin) Cummings
"Some people lose all respect for the lion unless he devours them instantly. There is no pleasing some people."	Will Cuppy
"Humanity needs practical men, who get the most out of their work, and, without forgetting the general good, safeguard their own interests. But humanity also needs dreamers, for whom the disinterested development of an enterprise is so captivating that it becomes impossible for them to devote their care to their own material profit. A well-organized society should assure to such workers the efficient means of accomplishing their task, in a life freed from material care and freely consecrated to research."	Marie Curie
"Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory."	Leonardo da Vinci
"He had so many irons in the fire that he was never able to forge any single one into a weapon with which to conquer his world."	Curtis Dahl
"The law is a horrible business."	Clarence Seward Darrow
"If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin."	Charles Robert Darwin
"Creatures whose mainspring is curiosity enjoy the accumulating of facts far more than the pausing at times to reflect on those facts."	Clarence Day
"I predict you will sink step by step into a bottomless quagmire, however much you spend in men and money." (On Vietnam War)"	General Charles De Gaulle
"Since a politician never believes what he says, he is surprised when others believe him."	General Charles De Gaulle
"One of the most effectual ways of pleasing and of making one's self loved is to be cheerful; joy softens more hearts than tears do."	Mme. de Sartory
"What makes men of genius, or rather, what they make, is not new ideas, it is that idea - possessing them - that what has been said has still not been said enough."	Eugene Delacroix
"Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some."	Charles Dickens
"The American male at the peak of his physical powers and appetites, driving 160 big white horses across the scenes of an increasingly open society, with weekend money in his pocket and with little prior exposure to trouble and tragedy, personifies "an accident going to happen."	John Sloan Dickey
"Hope is the thing with feathers -- that perches in the soul -- and sings the tune without words -- and never stops, at all."	Emily Elizabeth Dickinson
