William Hazlitt on learning Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense; a substitute for true knowledge. Books are less often made use of as spectacles to look at nature with, than as blinds to keep out its strong light and shifting scenery from weak eyes and indolent dispositions. The learned are mere literary drudges. Share this quote - 1 bookmark

Amos Bronson Alcott Sleep on your writing; take a walk over it; scrutinize it of a morning; review it of an afternoon; digest it after a meal; let it sleep in your drawer a twelvemonth; never venture a whisper about it to your friend, if he be an author especially. You may read selections to sensible women,--if young the better. Share this quote - 1 bookmark

James Thomson All-Conquering Heat, o intermit thy Wrath! And on my throbbing Temples potent thus Beam not so fierce! Incessant still you flow, And still another fervent Flood succeeds, Pour'd on the Head profuse. In vain I sigh And restless turn, and look around for Night. Share this quote - 1 bookmark
Jiddu Krishnamurti on poverty-and-the-poor Only in relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction and certainly not in isolation. The movement of behavior is the sure guide to yourself. It's the mirror of your consciousness: this mirror will reveal its content, the images, the attachments, the fears, the loneliness, the joys and sorrow. Poverty lies in running away from this, either in its sublimations or its identities. Share this quote - 3 bookmarks
Frank Zappa on drugs A drug is neither moral nor immoral -- it's a chemical compound. The compound itself is not a menace to society until a human being treats it as if consumption bestowed a temporary license to act like an asshole. Share this quote - 6 bookmarks
