"Are you so unobservant as not to..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“All kings is mostly rapscallions, as fur as I can make out.”

“All of us contain Music & Truth, but most of us can't get it out.”

“Narrative should flow as flows the brook down through the hills and the leafy woodlands...a brook that never goes straight for a minute, but goes and goes briskly, sometimes ungrammatically, and sometimes fetching a horseshoe of ¾ of a mile around and at the end of the circuit flowing within a yard of the path that it traversed an hour before; but always going and always following at least one law, always loyal to that law, the law of narrative, which has no law. Nothing to do but make the trip; the how of it is not important, so that the trip is made.”

“The way it is now, the asylums can hold the sane people, but if we tried to shut up the insane we should run out of building materials.”

“O! Let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven; keep me in temper; I would not be mad!”

“He was a lonely ghost uttering a truth that nobody would ever hear. But so long as he uttered it, in some obscure way the continuity was not broken. It was not by making yourself heard but by staying sane that you carried on the human heritage.”

“A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy until he can get out of it.”

“The more you are grateful for what you have the more you will have to be grateful for”

“You gotta chill and relax, and release, meditate, and breathe and walk, and ski and surf, and bask and sunbathe and relax and sing and love and laugh and nurture yourself, and eat good stuff. And find better and better feeling thoughts and practice them until they become the norm. And then everything that life has caused you to become must manifest into your experience.”
