True ownership of anything requires time (Barbara Holland Quotes)
Our Revolution was born and raised in taverns (Barbara Holland Quotes)
I was getting sick and tired of being lectured by dear friends with their little bottles of water and their regular visits to the gym. All of a sudden, we’ve got this voluntary prohibition that has to do with health and fitness. I’m not really in favor of health and fitness. (Barbara Holland Quotes)
Almost any dog thinks almost any human is the Great Spirit, the Primal Creator, and the Universal Force Behind the Sun and Tides. What human can resist? (Barbara Holland Quotes)
The trouble with American History is that you don’t remember it, and why should you? Nobody does (Barbara Holland Quotes)
In civilized places idleness, once the prerequisite for abstract thought, poetry, religion, philosophy, and falling in love, has become a character flaw. In America we’ve managed to stamp it out almost completely, and few people under forty can remember a single moment of it, even in earliest childhood. The phrase ‘spare time’ has vanished from the land (Barbara Holland Quotes)
Sophistication called for a variety of talents and attitudes, but the minimum requirement was being in New York. Not all New Yorkers achieved it, but nobody elsewhere had a prayer (Barbara Holland Quotes)
No doubt about it, solitude is improved by being voluntary (Barbara Holland Quotes)
Coaches and headmasters praise sport as a preparation for the great game of life, but this is absurd. Nothing could be more different from life. For one thing sports, unlike life, are played according to rules. Indeed, the rules are the sport: life may behave bizarrely and still be life, but if the runner circles the bases clockwise it’s no longer baseball (Barbara Holland Quotes)
In America, snobs who wouldn’t be seen dead with a lottery ticket play the stock market. We like to gamble. Winning, we have closed our eyes, leapt across the yawning abyss, and landed knee-deep in daisies. Even losing has a certain gloomy glamour: the gods of chance are worthy opponents; we have engaged them in hand-to-hand combat and though we lost, at least we shrank not from the contest (Barbara Holland Quotes)
My friends and I were all deathly afraid of our fathers, which was right and proper and even biblically ordained. Fathers were angry; it was their job. (Barbara Holland Quotes)
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition claims that a moderate beer drinker - whatever that means - swallows 11 percent of his dietary protein needs, 12 percent of the carbohydrates, 9 percent of essential phosphorus, 7 percent of his riboflavin, and 5 percent of niacin. Should he go on to immoderate beer drinking, he becomes a walking vitamin pill. (Barbara Holland Quotes)
In the metropolitan haunts of the highly sophisticated, the cocktail is no longer an instrument of friendship but a competitive fashion statement, or one-upmanship. (Barbara Holland Quotes)
Very few people have no opinions about cats (Barbara Holland Quotes)
War was ... the chief or maybe the only source of patriotism, and many a politician, from prehistory up to this morning, unified a discontented citizenry by pointing out a national danger and declaring war on it. (Barbara Holland Quotes)
To extract the fullest flavor of our drinking house, we needed to spend serious evening time there, slowly coming to know the bartender and the regulars, their joys and sorrows. (Barbara Holland Quotes)
Perhaps it’s a good time to reconsider pleasure at its roots. Changing out of wet shoes and socks, for instance. (Barbara Holland Quotes)
Exercise, to qualify at all, must be lonely, painfu, humorless, and boring (Barbara Holland Quotes)
The only people who still read poetry are poets, and they mostly read their own (Barbara Holland Quotes)
Gloom we have always with us, a rank and sturdy weed, but joy requires tending (Barbara Holland Quotes)
If a quick glance back over world history shows us anything, it shows us that war was one of our most universal joys from our earliest beginnings, savored at every possible opportunity and even some quite incomprehensible ones (Barbara Holland Quotes)
Single life should be experimental in nature and open to accidents. Some accidents are happy ones (Barbara Holland Quotes)
It’s curious that throughout our history together, with no apparent effort, people have been able to think of the cat simultaneously as the guardian spirit of the hearth and home, and as the emblem of freedom, independence, and rootlessness (Barbara Holland Quotes)
Visiting is a pleasure; being visited is usually a mixed or ambivalent joy.... The visitor can always go home; the visitee is already home, trapped like a rat in a drainpipe (Barbara Holland Quotes)
A catless writer is almost inconceivable. It’s a perverse taste, really, since it would be easier to write with a herd of buffalo in the room than even one cat; they make nests in the notes and bite the end of the pen and walk on the typewriter keys (Barbara Holland Quotes)
I was getting sick and tired of being lectured by dear friends with their little bottles of water and their regular visits to the gym. All of a sudden, we’ve got this voluntary prohibition that has to do with health and fitness. I’m not really in favor of health and fitness (Barbara Holland Quotes)
Perhaps it’s a good time to reconsider pleasure at its roots. Changing out of wet shoes and socks, for instance (Barbara Holland Quotes)
However long you have a cat and however plainly he lays his life open before you, there is always something hidden, some name he goes by in a place you never heard of (Barbara Holland Quotes)
We don’t get enough pampering. If we were once the only child of an adoring mother, we developed a taste for it; if not, we developed a thirst for it (Barbara Holland Quotes)
Dogwoods are great optimists. Daffodils wait and see, crouching firmly underground just in case spring doesn’t come this year, but dogwoods have faith (Barbara Holland Quotes)
