Adam

“Empty is the argument of the philosopher which does not relieve any human suffering.”
― Epicurus

“Being a copper I like to see the law win. I'd like to see the flashy well-dressed mugs like Eddie Mars spoiling their manicures in the rock quarry at Folsom, alongside of the poor little slum-bred guys that got knocked over on their first caper amd never had a break since. That's what I'd like. You and me both lived too long to think I'm likely to see it happen. Not in this town, not in any town half this size, in any part of this wide, green and beautiful U.S.A. We just don't run our country that way.”
― Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep

“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”
― Epicurus

“The fool’s life is empty of gratitude and full of fears; its course lies wholly toward the future.”
― Epicurus
