The pill is one of the biggest advances I’ve seen.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to subside. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.
In the past, we learned to cope with challenges ourselves. Today, a lot of people younger than me are not resistant to the vicissitudes and emotional challenges of life. If you’ve been told all your life that it’s the others who should spoil you and keep you free of problems, you’re probably a very sober person emotionally.
You have to take the wrinkles that come. And all those who get their skin sprayed and look like wounded warriors for a long time, become very little prettier, but look so sour. The smile is actually the best face-lift, I think.
My career always took me away from home, I was always away from home and I just wanted to be home.
A man should only work 4 hours a day so he may have time to devote himself to the arts and sciences.
In a rich man’s house, there is no place to spit in his face.
Build a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.
With great powers comes great responsibilities.
Love is like a fart. If you have to force it, itøs probably crap.
I hate all those weathermen who tell you that rain is bad weather. There’s no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing, so get yourself a sexy raincoat and live a little.
The longer I stay at home, the more homeless I look.
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
Life is like a game of chess. I don’t know how to play chess.
An amazing breathlessness arises because we fill our lives with emptiness and Facebook. In a discussion about the empty calories of Facebook, someone close to me said with great seriousness: “I have 190 friends on Facebook.” Then I replied: “Yes, but hardly one of them will pick up your coffin the day you leave here.” Why not use the time for some fewer and real friends in the real world.
I won! I won! I don’t have to go to school anymore.
If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.
It’s okay to be a little fucked up in the head. We all are. It’s only when you’re fucked up in the heart that makes you a piece of shit.
If you live for weekends or vacations, your shit is broken.
A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. This is where the rich use public transport.
In a rain of dollar bills, anything can be done
When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.
One of the things I can’t get my hands on is something like “Mothers’ Clubs”, where instead of reading a book and walking in nature with their babies, they sit and talk about vomit and nappies and burping with other like-minded people and get nowhere. I think it bothers me a little in the women’s area.
I am a bourgeois, but I am not a Left-woman. I was born a bourgeois, and I have always tried not to stand on a pedestal and say that I am a worker. That would be false talk. Nor during the many years when the red hirelings were around and held their noses at the thought of “Matador” and everything else I did. I’m not a peasant either. I was born a bourgeois, but that is why I can criticise the bourgeoisie and their shabby schemes, which I can easily see through.
Sometimes, the wrong train takes you to the right station.
