Nothing can be more depressing than to expose, naked to the light of thought, the hideous growth of argot. Indeed it is like a sort of repellent animal intended to dwell in darkness which has been dragged out of its cloaca.

And all of it is alive with the hideous vitality of things that have organized themselves amid disorganization. — Victor Hugo

If we become uncomfortable in any given moment, we can look at a flower, a pebble in the street or the tire on our car and be grateful.

If we choose gratitude, we will be happy! — Barry Neil Kaufman
