You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose.

I've always thought a hotel ought to offer optional small animals. I mean a cat to sleep on your bed at night, or a dog of some kind to act pleased when you come in. You ever notice how a hotel room feels so lifeless?

I think it's a good thing for a president or political leaders to want to put their values or their faith into action. Desmond Tutu did that in South Africa. Martin Luther King Jr. did that here. This is a good thing.

Comment l'Histoire pourrait-elle mieux servir la vie qu'en a

Comment l'Histoire pourrait-elle mieux servir la vie qu'en attachant ? leur patrie et aux coutumes de leur patrie les races et les peuples moins favorisés, en leur donnant des goûts sédentaires, ce qui les empêche de chercher mieux ? l'étranger, de rivaliser dans la lutte pour parvenir ? ce mieux? Parfois cela paraît être de l'entêtement et de la déraison qui visse en quelque sorte l'individu ? tels compagnons et ? tel entourage, ? telles habitudes laborieuses, ? tels stérile coteau. Mais c'est la déraison la plus salutaire, celle qui profite le plus ? la collectivité. Chacun le sait, qui s'est rendu compte des terribles effets de l'esprit d'aventure, de la fièvre d'émigration, quand ils s'emparent de peuplades entières, chacun le sait, qui a vu de près un peuple ayant perdu la fidélité ? son passé, abandonné ? une chasse fiévreuse de la nouveauté, ? une recherche perpétuelle des éléments étrangers. Le sentiment contraire, le plaisir que l'arbre prend ? ses racines, le bonheur que l'on éprouve ? ne pas se sentir né de l'arbitraire et du hasard, mais sorti d'un passé héritier, floraison, fruit , ce qui excuserait et justifierait même l'existence : c'est l? ce que l'on appelle aujourd'hui, avec une certaine prédilection, le sens historique.Deuxième Considération intempestive. ch. 3

Before you speak ask yourself if what you are going to say is true, is kind, is necessary, is helpful. If the answer is no, maybe what you are about to say should be left unsaid.

A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this -- that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made -- not to understand -- but to feel -- as crime.

My father was a scared man. And he communicated his anxiety

My father was a scared man. And he communicated his anxiety to me, so that perhaps more than most writers I wanted to make a practical go of it. And my career was eminently practical. I fastened on to this magazine, the New Yorker, that seemed to me to be the top of its class and I tried to get into it, and I did get into it. It was kind of calculating. Kind of crass.But I framed it to myself as a kind of altruistic ambition. Most jobs in the world were competitive, you had to push someone aside, but writing and art I thought weren't like that. You brought something new into the world without displacing anything else. To entertain people, or to hold out a standard of beauty or to even inform them seemed so self-evidently out of what my father called the rat race. Dog eat dog, in his phrase. He had a despairing picture of the capitalist world, as losers in that system tend to do.
