Isaac B. Singer

Look beyond the individual to the cause of his misery.

Love is simple: It is waking up knowing you exist in a mind outside of your own. It is having one heart that carries two beats. It is you and me spoken in terms of us and we.

In wildness is the preservation of the world.

Chop your own wood and it will warm you twice.

It was like being in the eye of a hurricane. You’d wake up in a concert and think, Wow, how did I get here?

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.

From a certain point onward there is no longer any turning back. That is the point that must be reached.

Don’t make me put your head in my blender!

Trouble with the world today is people don’t go to children enough. I don’t like old people. I stay away from them.

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

No one can be helped unless he can be put in the way of helping himself.

You are writing your children’s future with your answers.

This ain’t my first rodeo son!

Insanity in individuals is something rare – but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.
