Every action you take is a vote for the person you wish to become
But things will change, you wait and see.
Anybody who lets facts interfere with his imagination is a person who will never enjoy anything else again.
Aah, violence is the only way I can make people pay attention to me.
Just because I did good doesn’t mean I don’t feel bad, because the feeling bad, it’s not particularly because of anything that’s happened, it’s just the way I’m wired.
p. 195
The hungry judges soon the sentence sign,
And wretches hang that jurymen may dine.
What dire offence from amorous causes springs,
What mighty contests rise from trivial things!
Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll;
Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.
Coffee, which makes the politician wise,
And see through all things with his half-shut eyes.
But when mischief mortals bend their will,
How soon they find fit instruments of ill!
Here thou, great Anna! whom three realms obey,
Dost sometimes counsel take — and sometimes tea.
Long-term thinking requires a clarity the natural human mind is not good at.
