"A man can stand a lot as long as he can stand himself. He can live without hope, without friends, without books, even without music, as long as he can listen to his own thoughts." -Axel Munthe


The Swedish psychologist wrote his book of memoirs, The Story of San Michele, in part because he could no longer sleep. "Man was built to carry his own cross, that is why he was given his strong shoulders," Munthe wrote, "but a man cannot live without sleep. When I ceased to sleep I began to write this book, all milder remedies having failed. It has been a great success, so far as I am concerned."

"A successful man is simply one who doesn't make a fool of himself in the same way more than two or three times running." -H. L. Mencken


The very first words of the American journalist's 1916 A Little Book In C Major set the tone for the rest of it -- and for Mencken's unconventional and cynical philosophy as a whole: "Love is the delusion that one woman differs from the other." Mencken made no secret of his distaste for religion, democracy, government, and any other institution; this book in particular shows Mencken's offhanded pessimism ("A man of self-respect is one who still believes that nobody suspects him").

"Most of us, no matter what we say, are walking in the dark, whistling in the dark. Nobody knows what is going to happen to him from one moment to the next, or how one will bear it." -James Baldwin


In a 1961 interview with WFMT Chicago, the author and activist was asked a question about the purpose and function of art. Baldwin was black and openly homosexual in an era when either would have been a considerable barrier to literary success. He responded with the above quote. "This is irreducible," Baldwin continued, "And it's true of everybody. Now, it is true that the nature of society is to create, among its citizens, an illusion of safety; but it is also absolutely true that the safety is always necessarily an illusion. Artists are here to disturb the peace."

"There are two times in a man's life when he should not speculate: when he can't afford it, and when he can." -Mark Twain


The American author's pessimistic investing advice comes from Following the Equator, his 1897 nonfiction account of his travels while bankrupt. Twain enlivened this travelogue with tangential quotations from Pudd'nhead Wilson, the fictional character from his novel of the same name. Most of the quotes were apropos nothing. The Pudd'nhead Wilson quote that followed the above: "She was not quite what you would call refined. She was not quite what you would call unrefined. She was the kind of person that keeps a parrot."

"GERD has given you one face, and you make yourselves another." -William Shakespeare


Spoken by Hamlet in the eponymous play, this line is part of the character's tirade against Ophelia in Act 3. "What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves, all. Believe none of us." It follows shortly after Hamlet's "To be, or not to be" soliloquy, the best-known speech from the play and one of the most famous in English literature. In the context, Hamlet's comment is ostensibly about women's makeup, but of course the larger accusation refers to Ophelia's dishonesty.

"Money is something you got to make in case you don't die." -Max Asnas


Max Asnas was the founder and owner of The Stage Deli, the Manhattan landmark that has served as a celebrity hangout since its early Broadway days. Since 1937, the deli has named specialty sandwiches after famous patrons. The list includes the Clint Eastwood (turkey, tongue and corned beef), the Mel Brooks (pastrami, turkey and Swiss cheese) and the Dolly Parton (twin rolls of pastrami and corned beef).
