Philosophy Quote by Craig M. Mullaney — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I wanted that future officer to weigh decisions with a supple mind and to be comfortable with nuance and uncertainty.”

“Ben, if you get pee in my brand-new car, I am going to cut your balls off.”

“I am strangely tired, not from having talked so much but at the mere thought of what I still have to say”

“But in doing so---moving forward...---he's still dealing with the past. It's always strung out behind us, innit, attached to our arses like a roll of toilet paper we trail out of the bathroom, pointing the way to the giant shite we just took. It doesn't matter if we flushed it down; Everyone still knows what we did there. So its fine to say it's all done and you have no connection with the past, that you're a new person every second, but silly in my view to pretend that person isn't made of the old one.”

“The zipper displaces the button and a man lacks just that much time to think while dressing at dawn, a philosophical hour, and thus a melancholy hour.”

“At the heart of nature’s mystery lies another mystery.”

“One has to seek out pleasurable sensations, in the absence of which blandness comes naturally. The upshot of this is that we must continually work at keeping suffering (including tedium) at bay, and we can do so only imperfectly. Dissatisfaction does and must pervade life. There are moments, perhaps even periods, of satisfaction, but they occur against a background of dissatisfied striving.”
