Maria Bamford on success

I’m not technically rich, but I do have a lot of shit that I don’t need, and I refuse to share with others.

I’ve never really thought of myself as depressed so much as I am paralyzed by hope.

Julius Caesar100–44 BCInscription on the triumphal wagon reported in The Twelve Caesars by Suetonius, as translated by Robert Graves (1957).

For the want of a nail, the shoe was lost; for the want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for the want of a horse the rider was lost, being overtaken and slain by the enemy, all for the want of care about a horseshoe nail.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
