More From Christopher Morley

An excellent plumber is infinitely more admirable than an incompetent philosopher. the society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.
Philosophy Humble Water
And what is the state but a servant and a convenience for a large number of people, just like the electric light and the plumbing system? and wouldnt it be preposterous to claim that men must exist for their plumbing, not the plumbing for the men.

I like ornament at the right time, but i don't want a poem to be made out of decoration ... when i read the poems that matter to me, it stuns me how much the presence of the heart-in all its forms-is endlessly available there. to experience ourselves in an important way just knocks me out. it puzzles me why people have given that up for cleverness. some of them are ingenious, more ingenious than i am, but so many of them aren't any good at being alive.

Wilderness is a place where the wild potential is fully expressed, a diversity of living and nonliving beings flourishing according to their own sorts of order. in ecology we speak of "wild systems." when an ecosystem is fully functioning, all the members are present at the assembly. to speak of wilderness is to speak of wholeness. human beings came out of that wholeness, and to consider the possibility of reactivating membership in the assembly of all beings is in no way regressive.

Similar Quotes
To a greater or lesser extent there goes on in every person a struggle between two forces: the longing for privacy and the urge to go places: the introversion, interest directed within oneself toward one's own inner life of vigorous thought and fancy; and extroversion, interest directed outward, toward the external world of people and tangible values.
Struggle Journey Two
The journey, not the destination matters.
Journey Matter Destination
Afterwards, in bed with a book, the spell of television feels remote compared to the journey into the page. to be in a book. to slip into the crease where two pages meet, to live in the place where your eyes alight upon the words to ignite a world of smoke and peril, colour and serene delight. that is a journey no one can end with the change of a channel. enduring magic.
Book Eye Journey
Taking delight in the journey takes confidence. it pushes the envelope of design.
