20 favorite quotes from my 2014 list (1/4)

1)  from the Book of Disquiet by Pessoa

 “I've always rejected being understood. To be understood is to prostitute oneself. I prefer to be taken seriously for what I'm not, remaining humanly unknown, with naturalness and all due respect”

 2)  From Virginia Woolf Night and Day “Well, I really don't advise a woman who wants to have things her own way to get married.” 

[nikkoshae]

二兎を追う者は一兎をも得ず。

Ni usagi wo ou mono wa ichi usagi wo mo ezu.

One who chases after two hares won't catch even one.

 Trying to do two things at once will make you fail in both.

[nikkoshae]

蛙の子は蛙。 Kaeru no ko wa kaeru. Child of a frog is a frog.

Like Father, like son.

[frinalusycasca]

To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer,to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life

The Secret life of Walter Mitty

[mirachan]
