“Since Don Quixote de la Mancha is a crazy fool and a madman, and since Sancho Panza, his squire, knows it, yet, for all that, serves and follows him, and hangs on these empty promises of his, there can be no doubt that he is more of a madman and a fool than his master.” KnowsDoubtCrazyMastersFoolPromiseEmptyNo DoubtMadmenSquiresEmpty Promises Book:The adventures of Don Quixote Source: The adventures of Don Quixote
“We are told that if you are not occupied with the mind all the time, then you will invite the devil. It is such a heightened misconception that people are going crazy just because of this.

“The ballpark is the star. In the age of Tris Speaker and Babe Ruth, the era of Jimmie Foxx and Ted Williams, through the empty-seats epoch of Don Buddin and Willie Tasby and unto the decades of Carl Yastrzemski and Jim Rice, the ballpark is the star. A crazy-quilt violation of city planning principles, an irregular pile of architecture, a menace to marketing consultants, Fenway Park works. It works as a symbol of New England's pride, as a repository of evergreen hopes, as a tabernacle of lost innocence. It works as a place to watch baseball.” AgeLostStarsCitiesPrinciplesWatchesCrazyPrideEmptyBaseballEnglandMarketingDecadesArchitecturePlanningSymbolsErasInnocenceParksSeatsWorking ItSpeakersViolationRiceBabeMenaceEpochNew EnglandConsultantsRuthTrisQuiltsBallparksCity PlanningEvergreensEmpty SeatsFenway Park Author:Martin Nolan

You are in good company...Your touch is the uncommon touch; you will speak only to the thoughtful reader. And more times than once you will ask yourself whether such readers really exist at all and why you should go on projecting your words into silence like an old crazy actor playing the part of himself to an empty theater.” ThinkingShouldBelieveProblemActorsAsksSpeakSilenceCompanyImagineCrazyGoes OnReaderEmptyTheaterThoughtfulMore TimeBelieve In MeUncommonGood Company Author:Wallace Stegner

“Bridges - a master of subtle brilliance - plays the hell out of it. Not by showing off, but by going bone-deep into a character who only thinks he's running on empty.

“Murphy watched me thoughtfully for several empty seconds. Then she said, very gently, "You're a good man, Harry." I swallowed and bowed my head, made humble by the tone of her voice and the expression on her face, more than the words themselves. Not always rational," she said, smiling.

“I didn’t know how much I could love until you were gone. Until your laughter no longer filled my home, your wicked high jinks no longer made me crazy. Until I stood in that damned club and knew, without you by side, my life was as empty as my bed was without you in it. I didn’t know what love was, until I saw my refusal to admit it drown all the sweet innocence in your eyes.

“Certain old men prefer to rise at dawn, taking a cold bath and a long walk with an empty stomach and otherwise mortifying the flesh. They then point with pride to these practices as the cause of their sturdy health and ripe years; the truth being that they are hearty and old, not because of their habits, but in spite of them. The reason we find only robust persons doing this thing is that it has killed all the others who have tried it.” MenYearsPersonsLongReasonCertainCausesWalksPracticeCrazyPrideColdHabitTruth IsEmptyMadFleshDawnSpiteStatisticsOld ManStomachBathsRipeRobustSturdyHeartyLong WalksEmpty Stomach Book:The Devil's Dictionary: Easyread Large Bold Edition Source: The Devil's Dictionary: Easyread Large Bold Edition
