More From Christopher Morley

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. there are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. and then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. the world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: what's up with this glass? excuse me? excuse me? this is my glass? i don't think so. my glass was full! and it was a bigger glass! who's been pinching my beer?

Quantum physics is teaching us that particles themselves don't create particles. it's what jesus said 2,000 years ago, that it's the spirit that gives life and that you don't get particles from more particles.
Jesus Teaching Years
Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

Mathematics is not only real, but it is the only reality. that is that entire universe is made of matter, obviously. and matter is made of particles. it's made of electrons and neutrons and protons. so the entire universe is made out of particles. now what are the particles made out of they're not made out of anything. the only thing you can say about the reality of an electron is to cite its mathematical properties. so there's a sense in which matter has completely dissolved and what is left is just a mathematical structure.

Now the smallest particles of matter may cohere by the strongest attractions, and compose bigger particles of weaker virture.... there are therefore agents in nature able to make the particles of bodies stick together by very strong attraction. and it is the business of experimental philosophy to find them out.

I turn sentences around. that's my life. i write a sentence and then i turn it around. then i look at it and i turn it around again. then i have lunch. then i come back in and write another sentence. then i have tea and turn the new sentence around. then i read the two sentences over and turn them both around. then i lie down on my sofa and think. then i get up and throw them out and start from the beginning.

Separate religion from morality, and you have the true energy for evil within man, the terrible, cruel, devastating, and inhuman principle which naturally lies in his spirit. here the division of the indivisible punishes itself most awfully.
Lying Men Evil Within
...most men have bound their eyes with one or another handkerchief, and attached themselves to some one of these communities of opinion. this conformity makes them not false in a few particulars, authors of a few lies, but false in all particulars. their every truth is not quite true. their two is not the real two, their four not the real four; so that every word they say chagrins us, and we know not where to begin to set them right.

Sandar came to stand beside him, frowning down at the crumpled high lord. "he does not look so mighty lying there," he said wonderingly. "he does not look so much greater than me.
Lying Frowning Doe
Literary history and the present are dark with silences . . . i have had special need to learn all i could of this over the years, myself so nearly remaining mute and having to let writing die over and over again in me. these are not natural silences--what keats called agonie ennuyeuse (the tedious agony)--that necessary time for renewal, lying fallow, gestation, in the natural cycle of creation. the silences i speak of here are unnatural: the unnatural thwarting of what struggles to come into being, but cannot.
