James Richardson


American poet.
James Richardson
He Thought Positively till he became a euphemism for himself.
Richardson quotes
Suppose you had to remember to beat your heart, contract in exact sequence the muscles you use for every step. … Conservatism comes out of the body, the sense of many things being done for us that any attempt to re-think, or even make conscious, would fatally disrupt.
Richardson
Yet sadly we feel that many of the noisiest are more interested in their indignation than in the injustice.




Richardson James quotes
I’m sitting here bored, … trying to remember that everything is a complete mystery.
Richardson James
Judging itself brings the pain of being judged. The wicked judge mistakes this for another crime of the accused and lengthens his sentence.
James Richardson quotes
The first abuse of power is not realizing that you have it.
James Richardson
To think yourself incapable of crime is one failure of the imagination. To think yourself capable of all crimes is another.
Richardson James quotes
Path: where nothing grows.
Richardson
Only half of writing is saying what you mean. The other half is preventing people from reading what they expected you to mean.
Richardson James
Solitude takes time. One becomes alone, like a towel drying.
James Richardson
Happiness is the readiness to be happy.




James Richardson quotes
Water deepens where it has to wait.
James Richardson
I worked so hard to understand it that it must be true.
Richardson quotes
It is clear, we say, as if to see through something were to know it.
Richardson James
There is no road to the land without roads.
Richardson James quotes
Seizing on a piece of business, I become tiny, eager, efficient: roiled water I cannot see into.
James Richardson
Value yourself according to the burdens you carry, and you will find everything a burden.
James Richardson quotes
A strange gratitude for those I disagree with. They keep me from having to take too seriously the moments when I disagree with myself.
James Richardson
Easier to keep changing your life than to live it.
Richardson James
Envy is ashamed of itself. If it weren’t hanging back, it would go all the way to emulation and love.
