Quotes from John S. Hall

My father was a really great man. I'll never forget the last thing he ever said to me. Nor will I ever repeat it.

I've done bad things with relish, and good things with pickles.

Today, life will offer me many lessons. I will learn nothing.

If you think things can't get any worse, you have no imagination and no sense of history.

When I am tired, it is easy to believe that my exhaustion is the reason I am depressed and lonely and uninspired. But when I am well-rested, I can realize that these negative feelings are not a result of too little sleep. They are a result of my being a miserable, hopeless, misanthropic wretch.

It's not just that I'm stupid; it's that I'm just smart enough to know how stupid I am. I wish I weren't so stupid. Or that I were stupider.

Today, I will try to remember to regret the past. I will think of how many mistakes I have made throughout my life. I will say to myself, 'If only I could go back in time and make different choices, so that my life could be the way it should have been.' Then I will remind myself that I cannot.

My father was a very great man. I will never forget the last thing he ever said to me. Nor will I ever repeat it.
