Quotes by Myles Connolly (?)

“Your failure is measured by your aspirations. Aspire not, and you cannot fail. Columbus died in chains. Joan or Arc was burned at the stake. Let us all live snugly -- and life will soon be little more than a thick, gelatinous stream of comfortability and ignorance.”
― Myles Connolly, Mr. Blue

“Talk is one of man's privileges, and with a little care it may be one of his blessings. The successful conversationalist is not the epigram-maker, for sustained brilliance is blinding. The successful conversationalist says unusual things in a usual way. The successful conversationalist is not the man who does not think stupid things, but the man who does not say the stupid things he thinks. Silence is essential to every happy conversation. But not too much silence. Too much silence may mean boredom, or bewilderment. And it may mean scorn. For silence is an able weapon of pride.”
― Myles Connolly, Mr. Blue

“The biographer exaggerates the serious side of man to give him importance, for it has always been felt, peculiarly enough, that seriousness is a sign of importance. The biographer stresses a man's work so much that the reader is led to believe that the subject did little else. And yet all men loaf far more than they work. All great men especially. It is a misfortune that the seriousness of men lives after them while their gayety dies with them. There is great need of a new school of biographers. And there is, similarly, great need for a new school of historians. The history of the past, especially of the distant past, reads much like a long and somber obituary. And yet, those men of other days were as gay and gayer than we. As with individuals so with peoples: their gayety dies with them but their seriousness goes on forever.”
― Myles Connolly, Mr. Blue
