“Nay, Sir, it was not the WINE that made your head ache, but the SENSE that I put into it'
'What, Sir! will sense make the head ache?'
'Yes, Sir, (with a smile,) when it is not used to it.”
― James Boswell, The Life of Samuel Johnson

“We must remember that there is a great difference between a myth and a miracle. A myth is the idealization of a fact. A miracle is the counterfeit of a fact. There is the same difference between a myth and a miracle that there is between fiction and falsehood -- between poetry and perjury. Miracles belong to the far past and the far future. The little line of sand, called the present, between the seas, belongs to common sense to the natural.”
― Robert Ingersoll

“No one ought even to desert a woman after throwing her a heap of gold in her distress! He ought to love her forever! You are young, only twenty-one, and kind and upright and fine. You'll ask me how a woman can take money from a man. Oh, God, isn't it natural to share everything with the one we owe all our happiness to? When one has given everything, how can one quibble about a mere portion of it? Money is important only when feeling has ceased. Isn't one bound for life? How can you foresee separation when you think someone loves you? When a man swears eternal love--how can there be any separate concerns in that case?”
― Honoré de Balzac, Père Goriot

“How do you know when it's me?"
"Your footsteps are apologetic?"
"What does that mean?"
She turned, smiling wiping her hands on her long, black skirt. "It doesn't mean anything," she said. "Everybody else here just does what they want to do and doesn't think twice about it. But you're never sure.”
― Daniel Wallace, The Kings and Queens of Roam

“Vorher glaubte ich, die Dinge hätten eine Bestimmung, einen verborgenen Sinn. Vorher glaubte ich, dieser Sinn sei der Gestaltung der Welt vorausgegangen. Aber der Gedanke, es gebe schlechte und gute Gründe, ist eine Illusion,[...], denn ich weiß jetzt, dass das Leben nur eine Folge von Ruhe- und Ungleichgewichtszuständen ist, deren Anordnung keiner Notwendigkeit unterliegt.”
― Delphine de Vigan, No and Me

“Die, welche schwierige, dunkle, verflochtene, zweideutige Reden zusammensetzen, wissen ganz gewiss nicht recht, was sie sagen wollen, sondern haben nur ein dumpfes, nach einem Gedanken erst ringendes Bewusstsein davon; oft aber wollen sie sich selber und anderen verbergen, dass sie eigentlich nichts zu sagen haben.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer, The Art of Literature and the Art of Controversy

“If a queen bee were crossed with a Friesian bull, would not the land flow with milk and honey?”
― Oliver St. John

“das man die wahre Natur der Sinne nie verstanden hatte und dass sie wild und tierisch geblieben waren, nur weil die Welt versucht hatte, sie durch Aushungern zu bändigen und durch schmerzhaften Verzicht abzutöten, statt danach zu trachten, sie zu Elementen einer neuen Geistigkeit zu verwandeln, deren bezeichnendes Merkmal ein empfindsamer Sinn für die Schönheit sein sollte.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“If you want to find wilier race by common sense,
then you have just narrowed your searching area.”
― Toba Beta

“The dog next-door had settled down, and the neighbourhood seemed stunned by this event occurring in our backyard. It was like it could sense it. It could sense some form of tragedy and helplessness being played out, and to tell you the truth, it all surprised me. I was so used to things just going on, oblivious and ignorant to all feeling.”
― Markus Zusak, Underdogs

“Now I watched him from below. How many times had I walked this route home? How could I not have felt that he was nearby? And yet, he didn’t seem to sense me, either, standing right there, looking at him.
The old Emmeline and Fisher would have known.”
― Erica Bauermeister, The Scent Keeper

“Logic is present in both the master and the fool.

Logic to the fool is:
"If I attack the neighbor, I get his food and his house and his wife."

Logic to the master is:
"If I build 8,000 houses, it will solve the problem of all the fools attacking their neighbors and stealing their wives!"

The moral of the story is: be careful what you make sense of. Something will always make total sense, to the person making sense of it.”
― Anje Kruger

“Instead of huge steps, what we are using as a method is continuity, that one is your friend. Repetition is your friend. Not huge jumping. It is the repetition that leads to results.”

“A poem for the rulers of nations.

"Heavy lies the head that bears the crown,
A weight of power, from dusk to dawn.
In regal halls, with scepter and throne,
The ruler's heart carries burdens unknown.

Heavy lies the head, but it bears the weight,
Of destiny's hand, of a kingdom's fate.
Through trials and triumphs, they must lead,
For the crown they wear is the nation's need.

Served with platters of rumours and hate,
Still they feed our nations from a selfless plate.
Endless gossip and selfish press,
Yet they take the punch with no regret.

With grace and strength, they rise above,
Their duty to cherish, their people to love.
In the realm they govern, their hearts resound,
For heavy lies the head that wears the crown.”
― Anje Kruger
