Lin Yutang
“Happiness for me is largely a matter of digestion.”
Lin Yutang, The Importance of Living

Lin Yutang
“There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it, and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.”
Lin Yutang, Lin Yutang on the Wisdom of America

Lin Yutang
“Nobody is right and nobody is wrong. Only one thing is right, and that is the Truth, but nobody knows what it is. It is a thing that changes all the time, and then comes back to the same thing. -Old Yao”
Lin Yutang, Moment in Peking

Gertrude Stein
“After all everybody, that is, everybody who writes is interested in living inside themselves in order to tell what is inside themselves. That is why writers have to have two countries, the one where they belong and the one in which they live really. The second one is romantic, is is separate from themselves, it is not real but it is really there.”
Gertrude Stein, Paris France

Michel Foucault
“I don’t feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am. The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning. If you knew when you began a book what you would say at the end, do you think that you would have the courage to write it?
What is true for writing and for love relationships is true also for life. The game is worthwhile insofar as we don’t know where it will end.”
Michel Foucault
