Lin Yutang
“There is a certain proper and luxurious way of lying in bed. Confucius, that great artist of life, "never lay straight" in bed, "like a corpse", but always curled up on one side. I believe one of the greatest pleasures of life is to curl up one's legs in bed. The posture of the arms is also very important, in order to reach the greatest degree of aesthetic pleasure and mental power. I believe the best posture is not lying flat on the bed, but being upholstered with big soft pillows at an angle of thirty degrees with either one arm or both arms placed behind the back of one's head.”
Lin Yutang, The Importance of Living

Yukio Mishima
“The cynicism that regards hero worship as comical is always shadowed by a sense of physical inferiority.”
Yukio Mishima, Sun & Steel

Fulton J. Sheen
“the sadness it feels in attaining any happiness less than the infinite—all these constitute the mating call of God to the soul.”
Fulton J. Sheen, Three to Get Married

“Você pode levar Maomé até o altar, Jeeves, mas não pode forçá-lo a casar com a montanha”
Wodehouse P. G

Fulton J. Sheen
“Imagine a large circle and in the center of it rays of light that spread out to the circumference. The light in the center is God; each of us is a ray. The closer the rays are to the center, the closer the rays are to one another. The closer we live to God, the closer we are bound to our neighbor; the farther we are from God, the farther we are from one another. The more each ray departs from its center, the weaker it becomes; and the closer it gets to the center, the stronger it becomes.”
Fulton J. Sheen, Three to Get Married
