A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing.

H.L. Menken
..the great artists of the world are never Puritans, and seldom respectable. No virtuous man‑‑that is, virtuous in the Y.M.C.A. sense‑‑has ever painted a picture worth looking at, or written a symphony worth hearing, or a book worth reading...

...Keep Ithaka always in your mind.
Arriving there is what you're destined for.
But don't hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years,
so you're old by the time you reach the island,
wealthy with all you've gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.
Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.
Without her you wouldn't have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now
And if you find her poor, Ithaka won't have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
you'll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.
