Andy passes through things, but so do we. He sat down and had a talk with me. "You gotta decide what you want to do. Do you want t...o keep just playing museums from now on and the art festivals? Or do you want to start moving into other areas? Lou, don't you think you should think about it?" So I thought about it, and I fired him.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Chanuka and St. Nicholas Day came almost together this year--just one day's difference. We didn't make much fuss about Chanuka: we... just gave each other a few little presents and then we had the candles.

I know St. Thomas Aquinas calls eternity, nunc stans, and ever-abiding now; which is easy enough to say, but though I fain would, ...yet I could never conceive it: they that can are more happy than I.... I understand as little how it can be true his Lordship says, that God is not just, but justice itself; not wise, but wisdom itself; not eternal, but eternity itself;... These phrases I find not in the Scripture; I wonder therefore what was the design of the Schoolmen to bring them up, unless they thought a man could not be a true Christian unless his understanding be first strangled with such hard sayings.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Shall the work say to the workman, why hast though made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same stuff to mak...e one vessel to honor, another to dishonor?

That which he does, is made just by his doing it; just, I say, in him, though not always just in us.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Awake, my St. John! leave all meaner things To low ambition, and the pride of Kings.... Let us (since Life can little more supply Than just to look about us and to die) Expatiate free o'er all this scene of Man; A mighty maze! but not without a plan;LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Just walking around, An object of curiosity to some,... But you are too preoccupied By the secret smudge in the back of your soul To say much, and wander around, Smiling to yourself and others.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I know what love is. It's understanding. It's you and me and let the rest of the world go by. Just the two of us living our lives ...together happily and proudly. No self-torture and no doubt. It's enduring and it's everlasting. Nothing can change it. Nothing can change us, Ollie. That's what I think love is.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Cole Thornton: Just a minute, son. Mississippi: I am not your son. My name is Alan Bourdillon Traherne.... Cole: Lord almighty. Mississippi: Yeah, well, that's why most people call me Mississippi. I was born on the river in a flatboat.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
