Essayist quotes
" The price one pays for pursuing any profession or calling is an intimate knowledge of its ugly side. "

James Baldwin
" It is always easier to believe than to deny. Our minds are naturally affirmative. "

John Burroughs
" Life is a struggle, but not a warfare. "

John Burroughs
" The lesson which life repeats and constantly enforces is 'look under foot.' You are always nearer the divine and the true sources of your power than you think. "

John Burroughs
" The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense his life. . . . The beautiful vagabonds, endowed with every grace, masters of all climes, and knowing no bounds -- how many human aspirations are realised in their free, holiday-lives -- and how many suggestions to the poet in their flight and song! "

John Burroughs
" 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
" Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. "

Albert Camus
" Charm is a way of getting the answer yes without asking a clear question. "

Albert Camus
" Do not wait for the last judgment. It takes place every day. "

Albert Camus
" I shall tell you a great secret, my friend. Do not wait for the last judgment, it takes place every day. "

Albert Camus
" If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life. "

Albert Camus
" In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. "

Albert Camus
" Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal. "

Albert Camus
" There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn. "

Albert Camus
" Too many have dispensed with generosity in order to practice charity. "

Albert Camus
