Progress is like the curvature of the earth, subtle but certain, unless we erase the horizon by destroying the world.

Jane Austen’s books are really about men.

The world’s best poem is more valuable but worth less than the world’s best painting.

Desire lubricates effort.

Sorrow’s tears water tomorrow’s roses.

Darkness walks in human form and speaks the English language.

The rain falls on both the rich and poor, but not alike.

Uncleanliness is naturalness.

There’s only one way for a man to live:

• Heroes unsung
• Language uncouth
• Life unruly
• Instincts uncanny
• Indiscretions undisclosed
• Loins ungirded
• Enthusiasm unbridled
• Ego unfathomable
• Failure unimaginable
• Death unthinkable
• Shirt unbuttoned
• Destiny unlimited
• Future unbounded
• Stories unspeakable
• Exploits unbelievable
• Loyalty unconditional
• Will uncommon
• Power unyielding
• Passion unheard of
• Women untoward
• Love unknown
• Donuts unglazed

Everyone needs a rival, even if it’s only an ideal.
