If the heroes run and hide, who will stay and fight?
There is always a bigger fish.
In the past, we learned to cope with challenges ourselves. Today, a lot of people younger than me are not resistant to the vicissitudes and emotional challenges of life. If you’ve been told all your life that it’s the others who should spoil you and keep you free of problems, you’re probably a very sober person emotionally.
Everything sounds deep when you don’t read books.
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
I have a small walk-in closet, and it can easily turn into a recycling museum, so I’ve also learned to sort out. When you are as old as I am, it is very important not to get sloppy and wear boring clothes.
Even when your life seems most monotonous, what you do is always of real value — and importance to your fellow men.
Lotto is a tax for stupid people. An extra tax.
If you absolutely don’t have time to make your own mayonnaise, Hellmann’s Mayonnaise is the only store-bought mayonnaise that will do.
One of the things I can’t get my hands on is something like “Mothers’ Clubs”, where instead of reading a book and walking in nature with their babies, they sit and talk about vomit and nappies and burping with other like-minded people and get nowhere. I think it bothers me a little in the women’s area.
These are two humans who, by technology and science, have created ways that can fight crime and get rid of bad people. However, In that contest, my money’s on Iron Man because he invented everything that he uses. Batman, however, has engineers.
I thought I was stone rich, so I poured money out with both hands – and now I owe right and left.
A man should only work 4 hours a day so he may have time to devote himself to the arts and sciences.
My career always took me away from home, I was always away from home and I just wanted to be home.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to subside. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.
I am a bourgeois, but I am not a Left-woman. I was born a bourgeois, and I have always tried not to stand on a pedestal and say that I am a worker. That would be false talk. Nor during the many years when the red hirelings were around and held their noses at the thought of “Matador” and everything else I did. I’m not a peasant either. I was born a bourgeois, but that is why I can criticise the bourgeoisie and their shabby schemes, which I can easily see through.

The longer I stay at home, the more homeless I look.
Sometimes, the wrong train takes you to the right station.
When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times…I learned very early in life that: ‘Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend – without a song.’ So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you.
Instead of buying your children all the things you never had, you should teach them all the things you were never taught. Material wears out but knowledge stays.
We are not all in the same boat. We are all in the same storm.
