“When you leave New York, you are astonished at how clean the rest of the world is. Clean is not enough.”
― Fran Lebowitz

“It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is sin.”
― Benjamin E Mays

“Original thought is like original sin: both happened before you were born to people you could not possibly have met.”
― Fran Lebowitz, The Fran Lebowitz Reader
