A little rebellion now and then is a good thing.

“Why shouldn’t things be largely absurd, futile, and transitory? They are so, and we are so, and they and we go very well together.”

“No one can earn a million dollars honestly.”

“Character is what you have left when you’ve lost everything you can lose.”

“The great thing in this world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving.”

“You can’t ever be really free if you admire somebody too much.”

“All sanity depends on this: that it should be a delight to feel heat strike the skin, a delight to stand upright, knowing the bones are moving easily under the flesh.”

“Sometimes it’s good to contrast what you like with something else. It makes you appreciate it even more.”
