More quotes by William John Locke
I believe half of the unhappiness in life comes from people being afraid to go straight at things.
William John Locke
The measure of my success is the measure of my happiness.
William John Locke
Sex is the ... tremulous and bewildering and nerve-racking and delicious and myriad-adjectived soul-condition ... generally known as love. Ninety-nine point nine repeater percent of the world's literature has been devoted to its analysis. It's therefore of some importance.
William John Locke
If you love a Dream Woman ... let her stay the divine Woman of the Dream. To awaken and clasp flesh and blood, no matter how delicately tender, and find that love has sped at the dawn is a misery too deep for tears.
William John Locke
Women are women and can't help themselves.
William John Locke
To read of human depravity in the police reports is one thing, to see it fall like a black shadow across one's life is another.
William John Locke
Men are men and women are women. We've tried for tens of thousands of years to lay down hard and fast lines for the sexes to walk upon, and we've failed miserably.
William John Locke
You have never seen ugliness in a happy face.
William John Locke
Children are the root of all evil.... Happy the man who has his quiver empty.
William John Locke
Life is droll. It has no common sense. It is the game of a mountebank.
William John Locke
As I enter on the path of happiness, I scatter the dregs and shreds and clippings of the past behind me. I divest myself of all the crapulous years.
William John Locke
I hold in my hands the very soul of a man. What more dare a woman ask of the high gods?
William John Locke
The only cure for loss of illusions is fresh illusions, more illusions, and always illusions.
William John Locke
I can tell you how to get what you want: You've just got to keep a thing in view and go for it and never let your eyes wander to right or left or up or down. And looking back is fatal.
William John Locke
The only remedy against the malady of life is life itself. The bane is its own antidote.
William John Locke
Beyond all the fires of love through which one passes there is the star of Duty, and happy the individual who can live in its serenity.
William John Locke
Don't be a genius, my son, it isn't good for anybody.
William John Locke
Every man's first declaration of love is bathos--the zenith of his passion connoting perhaps the nadir of his intelligence.
William John Locke
I think love is serious. It's like an invention: sometimes it lies deep down inside you, great and quiet--and at other times it racks you and keeps you from sleeping.
William John Locke
What is a logical mind?... It is the antiseptic which destroys the bacilli of unreason whereby true happiness is vivified.
William John Locke
