"All work is the avoidance of harder work."
"When a jet flies low overhead, every glass in the cupboard sings. Feelings are like that: choral, not single; mixed, never pure. The sentimentalist may want to deny the sadness of boredom in his happiness, or the freedom that lightens even the worst loss. The moralist will resist his faint complicity. The sophisticate, dreading to be found naïve, will exlaim upon the traces of vanity or lust in any motive, as if they were the whole. Each is selling himself simplicity; each is weakened with his fear of weakness."

-- James Richardson, Vectors

I especially am drawn to the quote above.. is that the actual title of this sample, or just something on the side?
Thank you for posting this.

That was another quote by Richardson, which I found here:

Well, thank you for posting that link as well.
It's appreciated.
I stumbled across your journal a little while ago, and I really applaud your literary efforts. Makes for a great read after a long day of classes.
