Quote by Oscar Wilde

Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that true wealth lies within one's soul and cannot be stolen or taken away. Material possessions or "ordinary riches" may be fleeting and vulnerable to theft, but the treasures held within, such as love, wisdom, and perseverance, are infinitely valuable and immune to external forces. It suggests that the truest form of richness is not measured by tangible possessions but by the intangible qualities and virtues that reside within a person's soul.

I myself see the car crash as a tremendous sexual event really: a liberation of human and machine libido (if there is such a thing).

Ultima came to stay with us the summer I was almost seven. When she came the beauty of the llano unfolded before my eyes, and the gurgling waters of the river sang to the hum of the turning earth. The magical time of childhood stood still, and the pulse of the living earth pressed its mystery into my living blood.

When Mozart was composing at the end of the eighteenth century, the city of Vienna was so quiet that fire alarms could be given verbally, by a shouting watchman mounted on top of St. Stefan's Cathedral. In twentieth-century society, the noise level is such that it keeps knocking our bodies out of tune and out of their natural rhythms. This ever-increasing assault of sound upon our ears, minds, and bodies adds to the stress load of civilized beings trying to live in a highly complex environment.

Gratitude is one of those things that cannot be bought. It must be born with men, or else all the obligations in the world will not create it.
