“Dress suitably in short skirts and strong boots, leave your jewels in the bank and buy a revolver.”
Constance Markievicz

Charles Bukowski
“If something burns your soul with purpose and desire, it’s your duty to be reduced to ashes by it. Any other form of existence will be yet another dull book in the library of life.”
Charles Bukowski

George Eliot
“I think we have no right to come forward and urge wider changes for good, until we have tried to alter the evils which lie under our own hands.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch: York Notes Advanced

Charles Bukowski
“We are paper thin. We exist by chance between the percentages, temporarily. And this is the best and the worst part, the time factor. And there’s nothing you can do about it. You can sit on top of a mountain and meditate for decades and nothing will change. You can change yourself to be acceptable, but maybe this is wrong. Perhaps we think too much. Feel more, think less.”
Charles Bukowski

Plato
“First and best victory is to conquer self. To be conquered By self is, of all things. the most shameful and objectionable.”
Plato, The Republic
