More quotes by Perry Brass
Eat without the TV going on. Learn to appreciate food with only the entertainment of conversation-yours and someone else's.
Perry Brass
There may be a point in your life in which you are drowning so fast and fighting it so furiously that you don't have the strength left to call out for help. At that point don't expect one of your friends to jump into the water, if you've spent most of your life instructing them to mind their own business.
Perry Brass
Still water does not only run deep. It runs dangerously.

The Egyptians had a particularly nasty way of getting rid of people they felt had no consequence. Instead of embalming them, they simply constructed a fake mummy made from old strips of linen wrapped around a dummy of mud. If, in our modern world, you feel that there are a lot of mud mummies around you, get rid of the mud.

Perry Brass
Clothes do not make the man friends and engagement with life do.
Perry Brass
The lowest form of barbarism is smugly to berate someone for extending an act of kindness.
Perry Brass
Be reckless in your intensities.
Perry Brass
Perhaps success should not mean that you have nothing to say to anyone, no time for anybody, and not a moment left in your calendar for someone whom you might suddenly realize you love.
Perry Brass
Start a conversation with someone with whom you have nothing in common and no possibility of scoring with, networking with, or even seeing again. In other words, a conversation just for the civilized hell of it.
Perry Brass
We think of death and loss as tragic twins, but in fact it is loss that hurts us.
Perry Brass
The god that you dispense with today, will come back as a demon tomorrow.
Perry Brass
Wanting someone so much that his very presence takes your breath away is one of the most thrilling happenings in life. Not getting him in no way diminishes this.
Perry Brass
I prefer the tackiest person in the world to the stylish person who has no tact.
