In Action
"Before the new management system, all the park's revenue was sent
to the Indonesian capital Jakarta and only a fraction trickled back,
passing first through the often avaricious fingers of the local
bureaucracy. Some notable victories have been the virtual cessation
of the once-rampant cyanide and bomb fishing and the reversal of
the coral destruction. In the last year, coral cover has increased some
11% and conservationists are currently planting artificial coral that
is attracting fish and so rebuilding the eco-system.
The management system is proving so successful it is being used as
a blueprint elsewhere in Indonesia and won the park the 2003 British
Airways Tourism For Tomorrow grand prize, which rewards
sustainable tourism development, and is in the running for three
http://www.quotationspage.com/wotd.html (1 of 3)20/03/2004 11:36:23

other similar international prizes."

John Aglionby. "Probably the best dive site in the world," [Bunaken
National Marine Park: It's got more types of fish than the Great
Barrier Reef, and it's working hard to keep them.] The Guardian
(March 6, 2004).
"'Overreaching by CEOs greatly accelerated in the 1990s as
compensation packages gained by the most avaricious -- a title for
which there was vigorous competition -- were promptly replicated
elsewhere,' he added.
Buffett has for years taken a $100,000 annual salary to run
Berkshire, although with a net worth that Forbes magazine last
month put at $42.9 billion, he can afford it."
Jonathan Stempel. "Warren Buffett blasts mutual funds, CEO pay,"
Reuters (March 6, 2004).
"In the frenzy of the accumulation of wealth in China, the eager
mood is perhaps best symbolized by a new luxury housing project
with the blatantly avaricious name of 'Dollar Mountain.'"
Geoffrey York. "Comment: For sale, luxury housing in China," The
Globe and Mail (March 13, 2004).
"Ferdinand of Aragon, 1483 A.D.
Ferdinand of Aragon had a get-rich-quick scheme. A role model of
Machiavelli, the wily and avaricious king commissioned a Spanish
Inquisition with the idea of gouging wealthy suspects who showed
any reluctance toward pork. Of course, the bulk of the loot would go
to the crown. The Inquisition, however, was not content to be
Ferdinand's pickpocket. It was going to save Spain from tolerance,
innovation and whatever else reeked of heresy. To his dismay,
Ferdinand could not control the Holy Office's pyromania. He
became its most comfortable prisoner, complying with the rabid
dictates of the Grand Inquisitor. While the rest of Europe had the
Renaissance, Spain had the Inquisition."
Eugene Finerman. "The fools' guide to history: In commemoration
of April Fools' Eve, we celebrate the Seven Blunderers of the
World." Salon.com (March 31, 2000).

A great site with a new word each day, plus the practice tools to make each word
stick.
Many of the links in this list have a rating, from one to five stars ( ). These ratings are
chosen by the staff of The Quotations Page and are just our opinion.
If a site has no stars, it doesn't mean it's bad - it simply means we haven't rated it yet. If a
site has any stars at all, it means we think it has value - one-star sites just aren't as
exciting or as useful as five-star ones. If we were going to rate a site as poor or without
value, we would not include it at all.

The Literature Page
Hello! I'm michael moncur, a freelance writer, computer consultant,
musician, and all-around Internet junkie. I've been on the Internet since the
days when Gopher was the latest new thing and people still knew what "BBS"
stood for. I have been developing web pages since 1993, both as a hobby and
for various clients.
Quotations have been a hobby of mine as long as I can remember. My

quotation collection began with about 50 quotes culled from books and
magazines, and was originally used to provide a "login quote" on the BBS
(Bulletin Board System) I was running at the time on my top-of-the-line Atari
800XL computer. I've been adding to the collection regularly since then, and it
formed the basis for this site. Currently it includes about 2500 quotations.
http://www.quotationspage.com/about.html (1 of 5)20/03/2004 11:37:10

I started the alt.quotations newsgroup somewhere near 1992, and it has grown
into something so big I don't have time to read it. In case you think I'm a
serious person, bear in mind that I also started the alt.shenanigans newsgroup.
I've worked as a supermarket clerk, parts delivery driver, computer operator,

network administrator, and network consultant. Currently I'm writing
computer books and running this and other Web sites at home full time.
Personal stuff: I'm somewhere near 35 years old. Married (to Laura, below) -
no children. I live somewhere in Utah, but please don't hold that against me.
You can find a few pictures of me on the web, but I won't tell you where. In
my spare time, I play keyboards and record techno music, take care of my pets
and a few plants, and indulge in hobbies including model rocketry and
origami.
If you aren't bored of me yet, check out the following:
● Information about my books.

● My resume and professional information
● Website Workshop, my new site for Webmasters.
● My latest site, The Gadgets Page, publishes reviews of gadgets and
informative articles.
● A site to support my JavaScript books, The JavaScript Workshop.
● If you're really bored, you can read my weblog or read about my
Aquariums.
● My father, Gary Moncur, maintains some incredibly detailed pages
about the 303rd Bomb Group in World War II.
Laura Moncur

I was born in 1969, but sadly, I wasn't a

hippie love-child. My parents were really
square in the 60's, but they got cooler
later. Technically, I'm a Gen-Xer, but I
have saved myself from the multiple
piercings and bad attitude that many of
my generation suffer from. I guess I'm a
square too.
My biggest contribution to The

Quotations Page is The Motivational
Quotes of the Day. This collection started
in a recipe box at my place of
employment. I was in a job that I despised and every day was a struggle not to
quit or murder someone. I began collecting motivational quotes to retain my
sanity. It took more than one of these a week to keep me going, so by the time
I quit I had a substantial collection. When I came home with my possessions in
a cardboard box, the recipe box of quotations was beside the plants and under
the pictures. Mike eyed the box with envy. After much discussion and even
more additions to the collection, it comes to you now as The Motivational
Quotes of the Day. Please enjoy it. If I can spare the life of just one idiot, my
work is done.
Other than that, I've lived a normal life in Utah. I am married (if you couldn't
tell, I'm married to Mike). We work together on these pages, and I'm a part-
time fiction writer. I have worked in pharmacies, testing laboratories, health
insurance companies, and real estate. I am currently working as a secretary at
an electrical engineering firm.

General Questions
1. I need to know the author of a quotation. Can you help?
Have you tried our Search page? If you search and still can't find your
quotation, try posting a question in the Forum. Don't ask us these
questions by email - we don't have time to answer them.
2. Do you have a detailed source or reference for the quotations found

here?
In general, all we know is in the database, and we can't provide further

information by email. Your best bet is to search the web or post a
question in our Forum.
3. Can you provide biographical information about an author?
Unfortunately we don't usually have this information, although we're

working on adding it. Your best bet is to search the Web or try posting
a question in our Forum.
Quotes of the Day

1. What time are the Quotes of the Day and Motivational Quotes of the
Day updated?
Currently, the quotations are updated at about 12:30 AM Mountain

Standard Time daily. The update may be an hour or two late from time

to time for one reason or another.
2. Why did you pick these particular quotations on this particular day?
We didn't. The quotations are chosen randomly by a computer. Any

appropriateness or inappropriateness for any particular day is strictly
coincidental.
Searching for Quotations

1. I can't find the quotation I'm looking for. Where else can I go?
We have a page of links to other sites where you can search. You can
also post a question in our Forum - some of our frequent visitors are
very good at answering these questions.
2. I searched for my favorite quotation and you don't have it. What's
wrong with this stupid site?
We don't claim to have every quotation. Nobody does. Even the big
quotation books are incomplete. If you notice any glaring omissions,
why not contribute them to our site?
Contributing Quotations
1. Why can't I quote myself?
Because that isn't the purpose of this site. There are plenty of sites out
there where you can post your opinions on different topics, but this isn't
one of them - this site is devoted to quotations from famous people.
2. That isn't fair. Are famous people the only ones with anything to say?
Why can't I quote my friends or relatives?
Once again, we're not saying anything about who has something valid
to say and who doesn't. We're saying that famous quotations are the
purpose of this site. Not because we hate you, but because we
specialize. If you want to quote anyone you please, there are sites for
that.

3. But I am famous. Now can I quote myself?
If you're an author or other reasonably well-known person who other

people might quote, your best bet is to send your contribution by email
instead. Include an explanation of who you are and a statement that we
have permission to quote you. We still reserve the right to include
whichever quotations we please.
4. I contributed a quotation. Why isn't it in the database?
If you just submitted the quotation, be patient - we manually review the

contributions for inclusion once a week or so, and it won't be available
until then.
If it's been longer than a week, here are some reasons your contribution
may not have been included:
We already have the quotation in our collection.

❍
❍ You've quoted yourself. See above.
❍ You've submitted an "anonymous" or "unknown" quotation. We
reject most of these because, most of the time, they're

incorrectly attributed.
❍ The quotation had a typographical error. If you leave out
punctuation or capital letters or include spelling errors, we don't

have time to fix it.
❍ We're concerned that the quotation may violate someone's
copyright. Song lyrics are an area where this happens

frequently.
We reject 80% of contributed quotations for one or more of these
reasons.
5. I have a large number of quotations to contribute. Is there a better way?
Yes, send them to us by email in any format. As always, we can't

guarantee we'll include them.
6. Why should I log in before contributing a quotation?
Our contribution system now recognizes registered users of the forum.

If you register and log in before contributing, we will give priority to
your contributions. We may also credit users who contribute large
numbers of quotations. Also, if you are logged in, you don't need to

enter your name and email address with each contribution.
Copyright Issues
1. Can I use quotations from this site in my Web page, book, product, etc.?
Please email us for details and for permission. The short answer: you're
free to use a small number of quotations for any purpose, but you can't
copy large portions of the site.
2. If I use a quotation in a book or product, do I need permission from the

person quoted?
Sometimes. Many quotations qualify as "fair use" under copyright law,

but your particular use may not. Further, some uses, such as
advertising, may require permission even more since you might make it
appear that the person is endorsing or approving of your product. We
strongly suggest that you consult a good copyright lawyer before any
commercial venture involving quotations.
3. Once a person dies, their quotations go into the public domain. Right?
Wrong, very wrong. Death has almost nothing to do with copyright.

The copyright on many published works expires 75 years after death,
but some issues continue long after that.
4. Once something is on the internet, it's considered public domain. Right?
Wrong again. Publishing a quotation, or a Web page for that matter,

does not relinquish any rights.
5. Can I trust your answers on copyright issues instead of asking a lawyer?
No. This isn't legal advice, I am not a lawyer, and I don't necessarily
know what I'm talking about.
Stupid Questions
1. Why do you idiots use the word "quotes"? The correct word is
"quotations".

We get this question about once a month, and the amusing thing is that
the email asking the question almost always includes numerous errors
itself. Nonetheless, it's a valid question and we have an answer.
"Quotes" is a generally accepted colloquialism for "quotations" and is,

as much as you may object, in wide use. We use it for four reasons:
1. Tradition. The Quotes of the Day page has had the same title
since 1994.
2. Convenience. "Quotations" doesn't always fit or make a catchy
title.
3. Convention. People use the word "quotes" to search for our site
twice as often as "quotations". If we abandoned the
colloquialism we'd lose traffic.
4. Just to annoy the grammatically pedantic.

We've reached a milestone: 200 titles online from 79 authors.
Expect many more additions in the weeks to come.
Monday, July 28, 2003

We've successfully moved this site to its new server. It should
respond much faster now. Let us know if anything doesn't work
as it should.
Thursday, April 17, 2003

We now have an index by category where you can browse our
list of titles by type (book, play, essay, etc.) or by genre (science
fiction, romance, mystery, etc.) - this will be very useful as our list
of titles grows.

Life is everywhere. The earth is throbbing with it,

Marriage is the union of disparate elements. Male

the very tension that binds the universe. You see,

looking at creation itself. "I am the sky," says the

Visit the DVD Store country," he wasn't just stirring the hearts of millions of young Americans, he was also engaging in a little-
known form of wordplay called chiasmus. Dr. Mardy Grothe has plumbed the depths of this form for years and
catalogued hundreds of examples from ancient times to the present, in Never Let a Fool Kiss You or a Kiss Fool

them--e.g., fool and kiss--and you get a powerful, often humorous, rhetorical prop. Collected in chapters like
"Chiasmus for Lovers" and "Chiastic Compliments and Insults," the wisdom of the ages shines in gems such as
Cicero's "It is as difficult for the good to suspect evil as it is for the evil to suspect good." Even better is

name just a handful. In this unprecedented and quotable collection, he assembles the best examples of chiasmus
ever written or spoken. Not since the oxymoron, the palindrome, or An Exaltation of Larks has there been a
whole new category of wordplay so likely to fire the public imagination. In the tradition of Woe Is I and The

profound in the company of the greatest wits of all time.

An Invitation to a Feast: The World of the Chiasmus, January 20, 2000
Reviewer: Dennis R. Ridley from Virginia Beach,

Virginia
There are books that you can really get into, and there are books that really get into you. Dr. Mardy
Grothe's "Never Let a Fool Kiss You or a Kiss Fool You" is one of the latter. It is a book to be savored
like a hearty soup. If you encounter the book or the wonderful web site chiasmus.com as I did, you will
come in the door not knowing what a "chiasmus" is, and afterwards you will find examples
everywhere. You will even start making them up. There are books one reads for information and others
one reads for pleasure. This book is wonderfully informative. As for pleasure, that word is too bland to
describe the delights in store for the reader. The knowledge of chiasmus will expand and stretch you,
helping you see things you never saw before and challenging you to think in ways you've never
thought before. God bless you, Mardy Grothe, for the gift of this book!

What fun, chiasmus are everywhere!, November 6, 1999
Reviewer: An Amazon.com
Customer
To think that Dr. Grothe found the word chiasmus and wrote a book about it is unbelievable. He
obviously enjoyed the writing and the research. How did he find all the quotes and express them in
such an enjoyable and organized way? His book kept me reading, reflecting,and noticing chiastic
quotes everywhere. This book and word should be required reading for English 101. Thanks to Dr.
Grothe for a refreshing text for word lovers!

Chiasmus = Absolute Truth ?, August 16, 2000

Reviewer: Christian Jacob Wolfe from Nod,

Gen.4:16
For the nutshell skip down to ---THE POINT---. If you like to get lost in circular reasoning, by all
means read the whole thing. Just be patient if you do; it may seem as if I've gone off on a tangent, but I
promise to come full circle. In order to deal with story problems we are taught that mathematical
functions have lingual transitions. An example of this is would be: = means "as", and 2 = terms are
said to be "like". As with translations between any two languages inevitably something is lost in the
transition. In this instance we see that while = means "as" or "like", neither "as" nor "like" means =. In
grammar we are taught that "as" and "like" are keywords for simile (which means comparison, from
the Latin "similis" meaning similar). Which leads to the next issue; Do the laws of mathematics have a
lingual transition? One of the most fundamental laws of math is: A x B = B x A; which would read: the
product of A and B is like the product of B and A. While porcelain is the product of heat and clay, the
product of heat and clay is not always like porcelain. The heat and the clay must have the same value
in order for the comparison to work. I have never learned the English translation for the absolute value
sign used in mathematical formulas, but I would imagine it would be "chiastic". Chiasmus seems to
imply in its mathematical similarity that it is a capable vehicle for absolute truths. Certainly this book
is an insight into truth, or this book is truth into insight, or maybe this truth is a book into insight,
perhaps this insight is a book into truth, possibly this insight is truth into a book, or it could be that this
truth is insight into a book. I seem to have gotten even myself confused. Lao-Tzu wrote that "He who
talks does not know, he who knows does not talk", he also wrote that "The Way of which we are able
to speak, is not the Way of which we speak". So why all the words if they are all in vain? The
Buddhists have an insightful metaphor (defined by Aristotle as: The intuitive perception of the
similarity in dissimilars) for the reason for words despite their futility "fingers pointing at the
moon" (the moon symbolizing enlightenment in Buddhism). ------THE POINT?------ Simply that this
is a much better book, than this is a review. Dr. Grothe's fingers apparently do a much better job at
pointing to the moon than do mine. Where my words have led you deep into the murky waters of
samsara, his become the Jewel in the lotus and the lotus in the Jewel. I hope I haven't driven you away
from what truly is an inspired book. *** P.S. Sorry Mardy, I had to, Jer.1:7
NEVER KISS A FOOL OR LET A KISS FOOL YOU, May 12, 2000
Reviewer: Patricia R.
Christie
What a great little book. If you like wordplay, philosphy, history and pop culture, you'll love reading
chiamus quotes from then and now. Chiasmus stretchs and delights the mind. I bought the book as a
guide to my teenage daughter...you know...for the kissing part, but it has also become a delightful
source of information as well as entertainment. We have fun trying to make up our own chiasmus
lines. If you subscribe to Grothe's weekly Chiasmic Quotes...you'll discover a new puzzle and antedote.
It always gives a moment of thought or mirth; giving new pleasure to the announcement to 'you've got
mail'.
A really interesting read - fun to make up your own!, April 30, 2000

Reviewer: Steven Charnick (see more about me) from Newton, MA United
States
I consider myself fairly intelligent, yet had never heard of a chiasmus. When I learned of them through
this book, you can't imagine the fun I had trying to create them commuting to and from work. I
imagine I will someday be able to start presentations with quotes that I made up that fell into this
category - which isn't conceit, but rather thanks to the author for writing this book.
If you like wordplay you'll love this book, March 28, 2000
Reviewer: Jack Peters (see more about me) from Chicago,

IL
This is one of the more fun books that I've ever read, I found myself sitting up all night looking at the
different phrases in the book, and working to restrain myself so that it wouldn't be over too soon. The
sheer amount of chiasmus that is assembled in this book is very impressive, and it makes for a very fun
read. I would reccomend it to anyone who likes words or chiasmus.

like the first. There is a new and improved list of World
Class Curmudgeons (3 pages this time). Lots of new quotes,
organized by subject. The interviews and biographies
include: Frank Zappa, Oscar Wilde, Dave Barry, and Carrie

to try an ad! buy one now! Ouch. I'm starting to sound like a salesman.
I'm going to go rinse my mouth out with soap.

I made some revisions to the Links pages, mostly removing some old
links that no longer went anywhere. If you have a quotations site or
something related and we aren't linking to you, feel free to contribute
your link.

Yahoo also accepts donations for the NY Firefighters' Fund and Save
the Children. AOL is accepting donations for several different charities
through helping.org. Please do whatever you can to help.
Tuesday, September 11, 2001

Considering the current US crisis, I've removed the donation links from
these pages. If you have money to spare, please donate to the
American Red Cross or your local chapter instead. Please see their
site for information about donating blood as well.
Monday, September 03, 2001

Something went wrong with the forum in the last day or two. I had to

the trouble.

We'd like to welcome our newest sponsor, . Check out their great site
and mailing list. Also, we're #1 at the Top 10 list - thanks for
everyone's support.

The Quotations Page is up to #2 for this month on the Top 10 list.
Thanks to everyone for your support.

Blast from the past: Here's an archived copy of what The Quotations
Page looked like about 6 years ago, in December 1994. (The site first
went up a couple of months before.) Of course, none of the links on the

page will work. :)
Monday, January 08, 2001

I've changed the navigation options to the left to text instead of
graphics. They should work the same, and load faster. It may not be as
pretty, but we need to conserve bandwidth, since we're not making as
much money on advertising as we used to. Speaking of which, if you
have a Web site, you can advertise it here cheap.

Happy new year! I am still working on the author biographies but
should be done within a week or two. Thanks to everyone who voted
for us at the Top 10 page - we're now #8 and rising.
Sunday, December 10, 2000

mostly correcting quotations and authors in the database. This is in
preparation for two major improvements: (1) An index by authors'
names, and (2) biographical information for most authors. Both will be
done before the end of the year.
Saturday, December 02, 2000

I noticed we're not on the list at the Top 10 Famous Quotes Pages site.
Let's see how fast we can trounce the other pages. Vote for us here or
use the link on the left.
Saturday, November 18, 2000

Our mailing list provider (Topica) has had some problems recently, and
the QOTD and MQOTD mailings have been late. The problem is now
fixed and you should be receiving daily quotes as usual.

We had some email problems on Thursday and Friday due to a server
move. We apologize to anyone who was unable to reach us. Everything

by Women collections have been grouped as "Internet Collections" on
the Search page.
Wednesday, September 20, 2000

I've replaced the external (LinkBank) links page with an internal,
homemade version. This should respond a bit faster and looks a bit
better, but is otherwise identical. Please Let us know if it behaves
strangely or if any links are missing. (This is not the major addition I
was talking about. It's coming tomorrow.)
Tuesday, September 19, 2000

I've added about 200 quotations to the Michael Moncur collection (the

Thursday, September 14, 2000

If you are seeing this page for the first time, welcome! This is the new
site for The Quotations Page, and the old site has been redirected here.
All of the pages you're familiar with are still available from the
navigation bar on the left. Please change your bookmarks to the new
permanent URL.

Sunday, August 27, 2000

I am in the process of implementing a new layout on the pages which
looks nearly identical, but eliminates some unnecessary download time
and eliminates the annoying horizontal scroll bars. Please leave a note
if you experience any browser errors or if anything looks strange.
Thursday, August 24, 2000

This is now the official site for The Quotations Page. The old page will
be available until September 15th. Please contact us if you have trouble
with the new site, so we can resolve the problem before September
15th.
Monday, August 14, 2000

This site has been in development for nearly a year, and we hope you

problems, or if you have comments or suggestions. Stay tuned for the

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be

One thing life has taught me: if you are interested,

come to you. When you are genuinely interested
in one thing, it will always lead to something else.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You gain strength, courage and confidence by

Engineering is a great profession. There is the
fascination of watching a figment of the
imagination emerge through the aid of science to a
plan on paper. Then it moves to realisation in
stone or metal or energy. Then it brings homes to
men or women. Then it elevates the standard of
living and adds to the comforts of life. This is the
engineer's high privilege.
Herbert Hoover (1929 - 1932)
Engineers participate in the activities which make

beneficial to man and provide systems which will

L. M. K. Boelter, 1957
The ideal engineer is a composite ... He is not a

scientist, he is not a mathematician, he is not a
sociologist or a writer; but he may use the
knowledge and techniques of any or all of these
disciplines in solving engineering problems.
N. W. Dougherty, 1955
Engineering is an activity other than purely

manual and physical work which brings about the
utilization of the materials and laws of nature for

R. E. Hellmund, 1929
Engineering is the professional art of applying

science to the optimum conversion of natural

Engineering is the practice of safe and economic

general benefit of mankind.
S. E. Lindsay, 1920
Engineering is the art or science of making

practical.
Samuel C. Florman
The engineer is the key figure in the material

progress of the world. It is his engineering that
makes a reality of the potential value of science by
translating scientific knowledge into tools,
resources, energy and labor to bring them into the
service of man ... To make contributions of this
kind the engineer requires the imagination to
visualize the needs of society and to appreciate
what is possible as well as the technological and
broad social age understanding to bring his vision
to reality.

Quotes on Joy - The Quotations Page
Fritjof Capra, physicist
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a

purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one;
the being thoroughly worn out before you are
thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of
Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of
ailments and grievances complaining that the
world will not devote itself to making you happy.

We could never learn to be brave and patient, if

there were only joy in the world.
Helen Keller (1880 - 1968)

There's only one way to have a happy marriage

Clint Eastwood (1930 - )
http://www.quotationspage.com/subjects/marriage/ (1 of 3)20/03/2004 11:55:31

A great marriage is not when the 'perfect couple'

comes together. It is when an imperfect couple
learns to enjoy their differences.
Dave Meurer, "Daze of Our Wives"
Despite everything I've achieved in my life, the

culinary awards, the military commendations, the
honorary degrees, I have never, ever lost sight of
what's truly important. The thing that gives
meaning to these triumphs. Someone to share
them with. A companion. A help mate. A wife.
Marriage is the union of disparate elements. Male

and female. Yin and yang. Proton and electron.
What are we talking about here? Nothing less than
the very tension that binds the universe. You see,
when we look at marriage, people, we're are
looking at creation itself. "I am the sky," says the
Hindu bridegroom to the bride. "You are the earth.
We are sky and earth united.... You are my
husband. You are my wife. My feet shall run
because of you. My feet shall dance because of
you. My heart shall beat because of you. My eyes
see because of you. My mind thinks because of
you and I shall love because of you."
Marriage. It's a hard term to define. Especially for

me--I've ducked it like root canal. Still there's no
denying the fact that marriage ranks right up there
with birth and death as one of the three biggies in
the human safari. It's the only one though that
we'll celebrate with a conscious awareness. Very
few of you remember your arrival and even fewer
of you will attend your own funeral.
Marriage. It's like a cultural hand-rail. It links

folks to the past and guides them to the future.

To be mature means to face, and not evade, every

Fritz Kunkel
Every human being on this earth is born with a

tragedy that he has to grow up. That he has to
leave the nest, the security, and go out to do battle.
He has to lose everything that is lovely and fight
for a new loveliness of his own making, and it's a
tragedy. A lot of people don't have the courage to
do it.

Quotes on Maturity - The Quotations Page
Showcase, 1966
Maturity is only a short break in adolescence.

Jules Feiffer (1929 - )
Age is no guarantee of maturity.

Adulthood isn't an award they'll give you for

being a good child. You can waste... years, trying
to get someone to give that respect to you, as
though it were a sort of promotion or raise in pay.
If only you do enough, if only you are good
enough. No. You have to just... take it. Give it to
yourself, I suppose. Say, I'm sorry you feel like
that and walk away. But that's hard.
Lois McMaster Bujold, A Civil Campain,
1999
When we were children, we used to think that

when we were grown-up we would no longer be
vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept
vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable.

But mercy is above this sceptred sway,

And earthly power doth then show likest God's,
When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That in the course of justice none of us
Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy;
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy.

One cannot fix one's eyes on the commonest

Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), Mansfield Park
You think Nature is some Disney movie? Nature

is a killer. Nature is a bitch. It's feeding time out

gamble with death. If it isn't getting hit with

Christina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)
Life here is so elemental. So real. Without the

darkness in its purity. Right now, right outside my
window all I can see is a black void. Endless
darkness. It's totally exhilarating, and I feel very

The vow of silence, that's the mind-blower. See,

talking is what I do... [i] t's a real need with me, a
craving, I'm like a word junkie. I never shut up. I
talk to myself, I talk in my sleep. The idea of
voluntarily turning off that tap, I can't imagine it!
It'd be like, I don't know, all the rivers in the
world just slammed to a stop. No churning, no
flowing, no white water, just stillness, crushing
stillness. I don't think I could stand it, locked up
like that in my own psyche. I'd collapse into
myself, I'd implode!
Northern Exposure, Revelations, 1993
My personal hobbies are reading, listening to

music, and silence.

http://www.quotationspage.com/subjects/spring/ (1 of 3)20/03/2004 12:00:43

a morning on which, if I had the voice, I would let

Quotes on Winter - The Quotations Page
There's a certain Slant of light, Winter

Afternoons-- That oppresses, like the Heft Of
Cathedral Tunes--
Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886), No. 258
Every mile is two in winter.

George Herbert (1593 - 1633), Jacula
Prudentum
One kind word can warm three winter months.

Japanese proverb
The tendinous part of the mind, so to speak, is

more developed in winter; the fleshy, in summer. I
should say winter had given the bone and sinew to
literature, summer the tissues and the blood.
John Burroughs (1837 - 1921), The Snow-
Walkers
When you live in Texas, every single time you see

snow it’s magical.
Pamela Ribon, Why Girls Are Weird, 2003

One's first step in wisdom is to question
everything - and one's last is to come to terms
with everything.
The wisest mind has something yet to learn.

The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar

doctrine that age brings wisdom.
H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
Force without wisdom falls of its own weight.

Quotes on Wisdom - The Quotations Page
Horace (65 BC - 8 BC), Odes
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is

organized life.
Immanuel Kant (1724 - 1804)
Men are wise in proportion, not to their

experience, but to their capacity for experience.
James Boswell (1740 - 1795), Life of Samuel
Johnson, 1791
It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It

is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might
weaken and the wisest might err.

One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous

breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly
important.
Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970), Conquest of
Happiness (1930) ch. 5
It has been my experience that one cannot, in any

shape or form, depend on human relations for
lasting reward. It is only work that truly satisfies.

Real success is finding your lifework in the work
