“a good book
can make an almost
impossible
existence,
liveable

( from 'the luck of the word' )”

“It's almost impossible to make the case that Bush is a conservative. That may be good; that may be bad.”

“When it comes to words I have a uniqueness that I find almost impossible in art – and it's my words that actually make my art quite unique.”

“It is almost impossible to make jealousy go away in the heart and mind. However, it can be postponed for a while.”

“I think it is good that books still exist, but they do make me sleepy.”

“An honest book is almost as good as a friend.”

“There can be no reason why man should not make towns liveable and healthy… just as much subject to the beneficent influence of bright sunshine, fresh air, flowers, and plants, as the country.”

“Can I still wish you good luck?”

“Theory of selection /…/ leaves untouched all that can be inferred from the existence of the conditions which make organic evolution possible: matter which lives, multiplies, and varies; an environment which possesses the marvellously complex constitution required to make these processes possible. /…/ it cannot produce either the original environment or the original living matter. These must be due either to luck or to contrivance; and, if they be due to luck, the luck (we must own) is great. How great we cannot say.”

“Luck's just another word for destiny…either you make your own or you're screwed.”
