“Do not shorten the morning by getting up late, or waste it in unworthy occupations or in talk; look upon it as the quintessence of life, as to a certain extent sacred. Evening is like old age: we are languid, talkative, silly. Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.” LooksLittlesAgeCertainSleepMorningYouthBirthWasteLateSacredSillyOld AgeEveningRisingLook UpEach DayOccupationWakingUnworthyTalkativeQuintessenceRest And Sleep Book:Counsels and Maxims: Top of Schopenhauer Source: Counsels and Maxims: Top of Schopenhauer
“The great purpose is to set aside a reasonable part of the vanishing wilderness, to make certain that generations of Americans yet unborn will know what it is to experience life on undeveloped, unoccupied land in the same form and character as the Creator fashioned it...

The people welcome a new day as if they were certain of liking it, the shopkeepers pull up their blinds serene in the expectation of good trade, the workers go happily to their work, the people who have sat up all night in night-clubs go happily to their rest, the orchestra of motor-car horns, of clanking trams, of whistling policemen tunes up for the daily symphony, and everywhere is joy.” PeopleIfsJoyNightCertainMorningCarPromiseExpectationsAspectTradeWorkersClubsSmellCoffeeWelcomeParisSatTunesPeculiarDeliciousCheerfulOrchestraAll NightHornsSymphonyMotorNew DayPolicemenSereneEarly MorningWhistlingUp All NightPull UpsShopkeepersNight ClubMotor CarsTramsCroissantsTune Up Book:The Nancy Mitford Omnibus Source: The Nancy Mitford Omnibus
