One dupe is as impossible as one twin.
John Sterling
Colors answer feeling in man shapes answer thought and motion answers will.
John Sterling
I could honor Carmen Electra. I think she's beautiful.
John Sterling
Every fancy that we would substitute for a reality is, if we saw aright, and saw the whole, not only false, but every way less beautiful and excellent than that which we sacrifice to it.
John Sterling

John Sterling
Man is a substance clad in shadows.
John Sterling
There is no lie that a man will not believe and there is no man who does not believe many lies and there is no man who believes only lies.
John Sterling
Instinct is intelligence incapable of self-consciousness.
John Sterling
Compliments are only lies in court clothes.
John Sterling

John Sterling

The dawn of day is the nearest outward likeness of an act of creation and it is, therefore, also the closest type in nature for that in us which most approaches to creation--the realization of an idea by an act of the will.
John Sterling
Repentance clothes in grass and flowers the grave in which the past is laid.
