book reading done
All my good reading, you might say, was done in the toilet. There are passages in Ulysses which can be read only in the toilet - if one wants to extract the full flavor of their content.
strong sin repentance
Remorse is impotence; it will sin again. Only repentance is strong - it can end everything.
running believe greatness
The world isn't kept running because it's a paying proposition. (God doesn't make a cent on the deal.) The world goes on because a few men in every generation believe in it utterly, accept it unquestioningly; they underwrite it with their lives.
criticism five-senses creation
We don't trust our five senses; we rely on our critics and educators, all of whom are failures in the realm of creation.
peace sides consciousness
The moment one is on the side of life; peace and security drop out of consciousness. The only peace, the only security, is in fulfillment.
order would-be politics
How different the new order would be if we could consult the veteran instead of the politician.

We must be holy without holiness. We must be whole, complete. That's being holy. Any other kind of holiness is false, a snare, and a delusion.

There is the happiness which comes from creative effort. The joy of dreaming, creating, building, whether in painting a picture, writing an epic, singing a song, composing a symphony, devising new invention, creating a vast industry.
art creativity goal
Whoever uses the spirit that is in him creatively is an artist. To make living itself an art, that is the goal.
book reading hands
With this book in my hands, reading aloud to my friends, questioning them, explaining to them, I was made clearly to understand that I had no friends, that I was alone in the world. Because in not understanding the meaning of the words, neither I nor my friends, one thing became very clear and that was that there were ways of not understanding and that the difference between the non-understanding of one individual and the non-understanding of another created a world of terra firma even more solid than differences of understanding.
