Some random gems I've taken from people, books, toilet walls and 70s kung fu classics. they have been paraphrased, manipulated and distorted by the passage of time. so now they're just sentences.

1. one only hears those questions to which one is able to find an answer
2. a violin in the hands of the greatest virtuoso emits only a squeak if the hall is too big
3. our greatest moments are not our noisiest, but our stillest
4. don't let your ego swell too much. a bubble bursts with just a touch.
5. the greeks were superficial out of wisdom
6. a good writer possesses not merely his own mind, but also the mind of his friends
7. sometimes taking a step back is necessary to make a leap
8. willing beyond ones ability arouses mistrust of beautiful things
9. free for what is more important than free from what
10. the vanity of others only offends our taste when it offends our vanity
