“Fishing in a bucket. The total hopelessness of the activity was very soothing. It was the perfect sport. Without the emotional stresses of success and failure, she was entirely free to enjoy the pleasures of the moment... It was a good hobby, and cheap, and if more people did it more often”
“A little more persistence,A little more effort,and what seemed a hopeless failure may turn,GLORIOUS SUCCESS!”
“Cheap people often are not very happy because they love money more than they love their families”
“Humans have various ways of coping with extended stress, and one is the anticipation of a better time. Here, as with retribution, there is often a kind of symmetry: the more intense the stress and the more hopeless the situation, the more fabulous the coming times that are anticipated.”
“Well, more than likely you will never entirely dissolve either your fear of your own failure or your small pleasure in other people's.”
“Often success goes hand-in-hand with the sum total of sexual activity in your life.”
