"Life is never fair, and perhaps it..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“I am too fond of reading books to care to write them.”

“Nature, which makes nothing durable, always repeats itself so that nothing which it makes may be lost.”

“Most men and women are forced to perform parts for which they have no qualification.”

“Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person.”

“A life best lived is a life by design. Not by accident, and not by just walking through the day careening from wall to wall and managing to survive. That's okay. But if you can start giving your life dimensions and design and color and objectives and purpose, the results can be staggering.”

“Important thing to realize is the world is not here to make me happy. When you don't demand that the situation, or place, or person should make you happy, then actually the situation, place, or person is quite satisfying.”

“Our financial ills will never be settled till you fix it so every man will pay an income tax on what he earns, be it a farm, grocery store or municipal or government bonds.”

“I do write nice songs about the guys who are nice to me! Eventually, I'm sure one of them will write a response - that's a pretty scary concept, actually! But I make sure I only write bad songs about the ones who deserve it.”

“I think that actually people in my situation should be paying more tax.”
