GOOD LIFE

  
There are few situations in life which cannot be remedied, and without loss of time, either by suicide, a bag of gold, or by thrusting a despised adversary over a steep cliff on a dark night. 

-- Kai Lung


The capacity for tolerating unpleasure and pain without fleeing disillusioned into a state of rigidity goes hand in hand with the capacity to take happiness and to give love. To use Nietzsche’s words: he who wants to learn to "jubilate to high heaven" must be prepared to be "dejected unto death."

-- Wilhelm Reich


All you need to make life really pleasant, at some moments anyway, is some onions, some mushrooms, some oil, a little garlic, and a short memory.

-- Judy Collins
