Money Can't Buy Happiness, But Neither Can

Acting Is A Form Of Deception, And Actors Can Mesmerize Themselves Almost As Easily As An Audience.

Where There Is Too Much, Something Is Missing.

I Cannot Believe That The Purpose Of Life Is To Be Happy. I Think The Purpose Of Life Is To Be Useful, To Be Responsible, To Be Compassionate. It Is, Above All To Matter, To Count, To Stand For Something, To Have Made Some Difference That You Lived At All.

Where Was It Ever Promised Us That Life On This Earth Can Ever Be Easy, Free From Conflict And Uncertainty, Devoid Of Anguish And Wonder And Pain? Those Who Seek The Folly Of Unrelieved 'happiness'-who Fear Moods, Who Shun Solitude, Who Do Not Know The Diginity Of Occasional Depression-can Find Bliss Easily Enough: In Tranquilizing Pills, Or In Senility. The Purpose Of Life Is Not To Be Happy.

In The Dark Colony Of Night, When I Consider Man's Magnificent Capacity For Malice, Madness, Folly, Envy, Rage, And Destructiveness, And I Wonder Whether We Shall Not End Up As Breakfast For Newts And Polyps, I Seem To Hear The Muffled Cries Of All The Words In All The Books With Covers Closed.
