I thought I should be a fool to allow work to interfere with a delight in the passing moment that I might never enjoy again so fully. - William Somerset Maugham

It must be that there is something naturally absurd in a sincere emotion, though why there should be I cannot imagine, unless it is that man, the ephemeral inhabitant of an insignificant planet, with all his pain and all his striving is but a jest in an eternal mind.

Almost all the people who’ve had the most effect on me I seem to have met by chance, yet looking back it seems as though I couldn’t but have met them.

The secret to life is meaningless unless you discover it yourself.
