More From James Fenton

The musical emotion springs precisely from the fact that at each moment the composer withholds or adds more or less than the listener anticipates on the basis of a pattern that he thinks he can guess, but that he is incapable of wholly divining. if the composer withholds more than we anticipate, we experience a delicious falling sensation; we feel we have been torn from a stable point on the musical ladder and thrust into the void. when the composer withholds less, the opposite occurs: he forces us to perform gymnastic exercises more skillful than our own.

The idea of dependence is an explanation, whereas self-sufficiency is an unprecedented, nonanalogous concept in terms of what we know about life within nature. is not self-sufficiency itself insufficient to explain self-sufficiency?

She comes to me when she wants to be fed. and after i feed her -- guess what -- she's off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. she's smart enough to know she can't feed herself. she's actually a very smart cat. she gets loved. she gets adoration. she gets petted. she gets fed. and she doesn't have to do anything for it, which is why i say this cat's taught me more about women, than anything my whole life.

We must be forewarned that only rarely does a text easily lend itself to the reader's curiosity... the reading of a text is a transaction between the reader and the text, which mediates the encounter between the reader and writer. it is a composition between the reader and the writer in which the reader "rewrites" the text making a determined effort not to betray the author's spirit.

Although goal setting can clearly be overdone, only a few people are overly involved with goals and goal setting; most people do far too little goal setting, including the reflecting that precedes the setting of such goals. too many marriages have financial goals but not other explicit goals. yet the gospel is certainly goal-oriented.

She's a yellow pair of running shoes, a holey pair of jeans. she looks great in cheap sunglasses, she looks great in anything. she's, "i want a piece of chocolate cake; take me to a movie." she's a, "i can't find a thing to wear." now and then she's moody. she's a saturn with a sunroof with her brown hair blowing. she's a warm conversation i wouldn't miss for nothing. she's a fighter when she's mad and she's a lover when she's lovin'.

There are two ways of doing battle against disgrace. you may live it down; or you may run away from it and hide. the first method is heart-breaking, but sure. the second cannot be relied upon because of the uncomfortable way disgrace has of turning up at your heels.

My father always said 'there's no free lunch.' my father was right. there's no free lunch and there's no free market. the market is rigged, the market is always rigged, and the rigging is in favour of the people who run the market. that's what the market is. it's a bent casino. the house always wins.

We have always known that heedless self-interest was bad morals; we know now that it is bad economics. out of the collapse of a prosperity whose builders boasted their practicality has come the conviction that in the long run economic morality pays.
