We Should All Live As If We

Intellectuals Are People Who Believe That Ideas Are Of More Importance Than Values. That Is To Say, Their Own Ideas And Other People's Values.

The More We Feel Sorry For Ourselves, The Less Sorry Others Will Feel For Us. People Don't Waste Their Small Store Of Sympathy On Those Who Can Provide It So Richly For Themselves.

Poets And Painters Are Outside The Class System, Or Rather They Constitute A Special Class Of Their Own, Like The Circus People And The Gypsies.

We Should All Live As If We Were Never Going To Die, For It Is The Deaths Of Our Friends That Hurt Us, Not Our Own.

We Soon Cease To Feel The Grief At The Deaths Of Our Friends, Yet We Continue To The End Of Our Lives To Miss Them. They Are Still With Us In Their Absence.
