Albert Guinon

There are people who, instead of listening to what is being said to them, are already listening to what they are going to say themselves.

Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.

I grew up not understanding what was true and what was not true. It gave me a sense of unreality.

If I had to live my life again, I’d make the same mistakes, only sooner.

Mistrust the man who finds everything good, the man who finds everything evil and still more the man who is indifferent to everything.

Life can’t be all that bad when for ten dollars you can buy all the Beethoven sonatas and listen to them for ten years.

Buy what thou hast no Need of and ere long thou shalt sell thy Necessaries.

We all wish to live. We all seek a world in which men are freed of the burdens of ignorance, poverty, hunger and disease. And we shall all be hard-pressed to escape the deadly rain of nuclear fall-out should catastrophe overtake us.

If we were all just alike, one of us wouldn’t be necessary.

We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.

It’s a rare person who wants to hear what he doesn’t want to hear.

We learn something every day, and lots of times it’s that what we learned the day before was wrong.

In ceremonies of the horsemen, even the pawn must hold a grudge.

I hope that while so many people are out smelling the flowers, someone is taking the time to plant some.

People will try to fix world but world will fix people.

When you embark for strange places don’t leave any of yourself safely at the shore… Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory.
