Quote O' The Day

"Much of command is the ability to take command." -Louis L'Amour

The 20th-century American writer, known mostly for his Westerns, also wrote some nonfiction and a few historical novels. This quote is from The Walking Drum, set in 12th-century Europe. "Up to a point a man's life is shaped by environment, heredity, and movements and changes in the world about him; then there comes a time when it lies within his grasp to shape the clay of his life into the sort of thing he wishes to be," L'Amour wrote. "Everyone has it within his power to say, this I am today, that I shall be tomorrow."

"Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized." -Albert Einstein


This line is from the German-born physicist's 1931 essay "The World As I See It," which was published after he was already well-known. He commented that he was idolized in some circles, "through no fault, and no merit" of his own. "The cause of this may well be the desire... to understand the few ideas to which I have with my feeble powers attained through ceaseless struggle," he wrote. "The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative, sentient individual, the personality; it alone creates the noble and the sublime."

"What do men want? They want a lot of pals, and they wish people wouldn't get so mad at them." -Kurt Vonnegut


In 1999, the American writer delivered the commencement address at Agnes Scott College, a liberal arts women's college in Atlanta. "Freud said he didn't know what women wanted. I know what women want. They want a whole lot of people to talk to," he said. "What do they want to talk about? They want to talk about everything." Hence, he explained, the failures of so many marriages: "The groom gets one more pal, but it's a woman. The woman gets one more person to talk to about everything, but it's a man." Arguments in relationships, he concluded, boil down to two people feeling the same frustrated sentiment toward one another: "You are not enough people!"

"Yesterday is all that does count. What else is there? Your life is made out of the days it's made out of. Nothin else." -Cormac McCarthy


This line is from the 2005 novel No Country For Old Men, which was made into an Oscar-winning film by the Coen brothers two years later. The line is spoken by Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin in the film adaptation) to a hitchhiker he picks up. The hitchhiker scene was cut from the film version, but the woman Moss meets by the pool acts as somewhat of a substitute. "It's not about knowin where you are. It's about thinkin you got there without takin anything with you," Moss tells her, evidently considering the decisions he's made thus far and the fact that their repercussions are catching up to him. "Your notions about startin over. Or anybody's. You don't start over. That's what it's about. Ever step you take is forever. You cant make it go away. None of it."
