A human being: an ingenious assembly of portable plumbing  (Christopher Morley Quotes) Act like you expect to get into the end zone  (Christopher Morley Quotes) All students can learn  (Christopher Morley Quotes) Between ourselves, there is no such thing, abstractly, as a ‘good’ book. A book is ‘good’ only when it meets some human hunger or refutes some human error  (Christopher Morley Quotes) No man is lonely eating spaghetti; it requires so much attention  (Christopher Morley Quotes) Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it  (Christopher Morley Quotes) When you sell a man a book you don’t sell just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life.

It is like falling in love, and like that colossal adventure it is an experience of great social import. Even as the tranced swain, the book lover yearns to tell others of his bliss. He writes letters about it, adds it to the postscript of all manner of communications, intrudes it into telephone messages, and insists on his friends writing down the title of the find. Like the simple-hearted betrothed, once certain of his conquest  (Christopher Morley Quotes) A mind too proud to unbend over the small ridiculosa of life is as painful as a library with no trash in it  (Christopher Morley Quotes) Blessed is the satirist; and blessed the ironist; blessed the witty scoffer, and blessed the sentimentalist; for each, having seen one spoke of the wheel, thinks to have seen all, and is content  (Christopher Morley Quotes) One of the most valuable philosophical features of journalism is that it realizes that truth is not a solid but a fluid  (Christopher Morley Quotes) The world, in its sheer exuberance of kindness, will try to bury the poet with warm and lovely human trivialities. It will even ask him to autograph books  (Christopher Morley Quotes) The unluckiest insolvent in the world is the man whose expenditure of speech is too great for his income of ideas  (Christopher Morley Quotes) Blessed is he who has never been tempted; for he knows not the frailty of his rectitude  (Christopher Morley Quotes) There is an innate decorum in man, and it is not fair to thrust truth upon people when they don't expect it. Only the very generous are ready for truth impromptu  (Christopher Morley Quotes) There is no squabbling so violent as that between people who accepted an idea yesterday and those who will accept the same idea tomorrow  (Christopher Morley Quotes) Man makes a great fuss about this planet which is only a ballbearing in the hub of the universe  (Christopher Morley Quotes) The man who never in his life has washed the dishes with his wife or polished up the silver plate - he still is largely celibate  (Christopher Morley Quotes) A human being, he wrote, is a whispering in the steam pipes on a cold night; dust sifted through a locked window; one or the other half of an unsolved equation; a pun made by God; an ingenious assembly of portable plumbing  (Christopher Morley Quotes) Any man worth his salt has by the time he is forty-five accumulated a crown of thorns, and the problem is to learn to wear it over one ear  (Christopher Morley Quotes) Lots of times you have to pretend to join a parade in which you're not really interested in order to get where you're going  (Christopher Morley Quotes) All cities are mad: but the madness is gallant. All cities are beautiful: but the beauty is grim  (Christopher Morley Quotes) Beauty is ever to the lonely mind a shadow fleeting; she is never plain. She is a visitor who leaves behind the gift of grief, the souvenir of pain  (Christopher Morley Quotes) From now until the end of time no one else will ever see life with my eyes, and I mean to make the best of my chance  (Christopher Morley Quotes)
