“A man of limited desire will always have less or perhaps nothing to worry and sensibly no fear of losing anything or everything in life.”
Anuj Somany
“To write what is worth publishing, to find honest people to publish it, and get sensible people to read it, are the three great difficulties in being an author.”
Charles Caleb Colton

Charles Baudelaire
“Life isn't like a book. Life isn't logical or sensible or orderly. Life is a mess most of the time. And theology must be lived in the midst of that mess.”
“The ancient Poets animated all sensible objects with Gods or Geniuses, calling them by the names and adorning them with the properties of woods, rivers, mountains, lakes, cities, nations, and whatever their enlarged and numerous senses could perceive. And particularly they studied the genius of each city and county, placing it under its mental deity. Till a system was formed, which some took advantage of and enslaved the vulgar by attempting to realize or abstract the mental deities from their objects; thus began Priesthood. Choosing forms of worship from poetic tales. And at length they pronounced that the Gods had ordered such things. Thus men forgot that All deities reside in the human breast.”
William Blake
“I might not this believeWithout the sensible and true avouchOf mine own eyes.”
William Shakespeare
“No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible.”
W. H. Auden
