As I believe Mr. D has not contributed a quotes thread today himself here I am doing the bidding of my own accord smile........


'The soul is healed by being around children.'
Fyodor Dostoyevsky

'Few indeed have been found to resist the crowd, to stand up alone before misguided masses, to face their implacable frenzy without weapons and with folded arms to dare a no when a yes is demanded.'
Hannah Arendt

'I have seen men in real life who so long deceived others that at last their true nature could not reveal itself.'
Soren Kierkegaard

'What is the first business of one who practices philosophy? To get rid of self-conceit. For it is impossible for anyone to begin to learn that which he thinks he already knows.'
Epictetus

Talking about Salinas Valley, California... "It was an unlikely place for a man from a green country to come to, but he came about thirty years before the turn of the century and he brought with him his tiny Irish wife, a tight hard little woman humorless...

Lol, not his, my post above.
