James Ryan Daley is a writer, editor, and designer of various paper-based and digital things.

Quotes by James Ryan Daley  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“You can never really know the truth. Not about life, not about God, not about what’s in another person’s heart, or even your own. All you can ever really know is what it feels like. What it feels like to laugh and cry and hate and hurt and hope and fear and love; what it feels like to live.”
James Ryan Daley, Jesus Jackson

“This falsity around him and within him did more than anything else to poison his last days.”
James Ryan Daley, The World's Greatest Short Stories: Selections from Hemingway, Tolstoy, Woolf, Chekhov, Joyce, Updike and more

“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Collected Poems and Translations

“Income tax returns are the most imaginative fiction being written today.”
Herman Wouk

“Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.”
Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
