Henry James

Life is trying things to see if they work.

I just want people to take a step back, take a deep breath and actually look at something with a different perspective. But most people will never do that.

You almost never get the pleasure of seeing that you won the argument in real time. People just don’t like to publicly change their minds. They change their minds in private.

How beautiful the world was when one looked at it without searching, just looked, simply and innocently.

People don’t like when you point out to them and remind them that they’re not very smart.

This is not new territory. Stop lights like lullabies write my eulogy.

When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it’s a sure sign you’re getting old.

And of all the things I look forward to in life, falling in love with you is at the top of the list.

I think everyone has their own set of problems, and sometimes I feel I’m in the middle of the biggest challenge of my life just trying to maintain normalcy in a kind of crazy lifestyle.

They (wives) are people who think when the telephone bell rings, it is against the law not to answer it

If I only had a little humility, I’d be perfect.

Freedom of speech does not protect you from the consequences of saying stupid shit

Sometimes, the only way to discover who you are or what life you should lead is to do less planning and more living…

Do all the other things, the ambitious things-travel, get rich, get famous, innovate, lead, fall in love, make and lose fortunes…but as you do, to the extent that you can, err in the direction of kindness.

Most of the sickness in the world is caused by eating too much.
