Dag Hammarskjold

I’m constantly reemerging in my life.

I would rather be healthy alone, then sick with someone else.

You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about! You’re crazy!

I think; therefore I am.

The industrial value of leisure as a promoter of the consumption of goods, and thus as a stimulant to business have been proved.

The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot.

Despite everybody who has been born and has died, the world has just gone on. I mean, look at Napoleon – but we went right on. Look at Harpo Marx –the world went around, it didn’t stop for a second. It’s sad but true. John Kennedy, right?

I have a private life in which I do not permit interference. It must be respected.

A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something.

What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.

I’d rather regret the things I’ve done than regret the things I haven’t done.

All life is experience, and one level is exchanged for another only when its lesson is learned.

The love we were promised in fairy tales was never something for us to find. It has always been something for us to create.
