 Dissipation is a form of self-sacrifice. |
| Even in slight things the experience of the new is rarely without some stirring of foreboding |
| Every extreme attitude is a flight from the self |
| Every intense desire is perhaps a desire to be different from what we are. |
| Every new adjustment is a crisis in self-esteem. |
| Facts are counterrevolutionary |
| Faith in a holy cause is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves. |
| Far more crucial than what we know or do not know is what we do not want to know. |
| Fear comes from uncertainty. When we are absolutely certain, whether of our worth or worthlessness, we are almost impervious to fear. Thus a feeling of utter unworthiness can be a source of courage. |
| Friendship Never explain / your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe it anyway. A real friend never gets in your way, unless you happen to be on the way down. A friend is someone you can do nothing with and enjoy it. However much we guard ourselves against it, we tend to shape ourselves in the image others have of us. It is not so much the example of others we imitate, as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words. |
| Glory is largely a theatrical concept. There is no striving for glory without a vivid awareness of an audience. |
| How frighteningly few are the persons whose death would spoil our appetite and make the world seem empty |
| I wasn't worried about typecasting - I thought I'd figure that out down the road. I figured that, with the quality of the show, Will was going to be my epitaph. It was more about "Is this the one character I want beside my name for the rest of eternity?" |
| I've got everything I need except a man. And I'm not one of those women who thinks a man is the answer to everything, but I'm tired of being alone. |
| In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists. |
