“The house of delusions is cheap to build but drafty to live in.”
A. E. Housman
“I knew I had an old, cold, drafty house, ... But what they told me is where I made investments weren't my best investments.”
Elizabeth May
“The Hippodrome was drafty. Our toes had no feeling.”
Roberta Childers
“We missed some free throws. It was pretty drafty on our end, so I think the cold affected the free-throw shooting.”
Chester Smith
“No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities.”
Christian Nevell Bovee
“A sense of humor always withers in the presence of the messianic delusion, like justice and truth in front of patriotic passion”
Henry Louis Mencken
“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
Albert Einstein
