Like your
body your mind also gets tired so refresh it by wise sayings.
Hazrat Ali
he only way to read a book of aphorisms without being bored is to open it at
random and, having found something that interests you, close the book and
meditate.
Prince Charles-Joseph de Ligne, 1796
I love
quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully
expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.
Marlene Dietrich
In places
this book is a little over-written, because Mr Blunden is no more able to
resist a quotation than some people are to refuse a drink.~George Orwell,
review of Cricket Country
Edmund Blunden, in Manchester
Evening News
Have you
ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise passage when it is
quoted, than when we read it in the original author?
Philip Gilbert Hamerton, The
Intellectual Life, 1873
Life itself is a quotation.
Jorge Luis Borge
