Cessario Quotes & Sayings

Warm evenings, pale mornings, bottle of blues — Gram Parsons

This world inside which sentience has awoken, uninvited, is the stuff of all nightmares, a living daymare, a defiled experiment draped in ethical ugliness, and is it therefore any surprise that a child's first reaction upon discovering themselves alive inside it is to scream in absolute horror? — John Zande

It is the phenomenon somethings called "alienation from self." In its advanced stages, we no longer answer the telephone, because someone might want something; that we could say no without drowning in self-reproach is an idea alien to this game. Every encounter demands too much, tears the nerves, drains the will, and the specter of something as small as an unanswered letter arouses such disproportionate guilt that answering it becomes out of the question. To assign unanswered letters their proper weight, to free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves - there lies the great, the singular power of self-respect.

The image we have would be impossible for Mickey Mouse to maintain. We're just ... normal people. — Karen Carpenter

Fidelity to the whole of revealed truth is what distinguished good theology from its counterfeits. — Romanus Cessario

Successful investors like stocks better when they're going down. When you go to a department store or a supermarket, you like to buy merchandise on sale, but it doesn't work that way in the stock market. In the stock market, people panic when stocks are going down, so they like them less when they should like them more. When prices go down, you shouldn't panic, but it's hard to control your emotions when you're overextended, when you see your net worth drop in half and you worry that you won't have enough money to pay for your kids' college. — Seth Klarman

I think it's a bit of a myth that if you can read music you can write music. It doesn't work like that. — Alison Goldfrapp
