It often occurs that pride and selfishness are muddled with strength and independence. They are neither equal nor similar; in fact, they are polar opposites. A coward may be so cowardly that he masks his weakness with some false personification of power. He is afraid to love and to be loved because love tends to strip bare all emotional barricades. Without love, strength and independence are prone to losing every bit of their worth; they become nothing more than a fearful, intimidated, empty tent lost somewhere in the desert of self (Criss Jami Quotes)
Bad luck with women is a determined man’s road to success. For every affliction, he makes, out of indignation, yet another advancement in order to exceed the man that the woman chose over him.

Love without humility results in the inclination to act as everyone’s parent, humility without love results in the need to be everyone’s child, and love with humility results in the desire to be a friend (Criss Jami Quotes)
If you have to say or do something controversial, aim so that people will hate that they love it and not love that they hate it (Criss Jami Quotes)

The best ideas will eat at you for days, maybe even weeks, until something, some incident, some impulse, triggers you to finally express them (Criss Jami Quotes)
Man is not, by nature, deserving of all that he wants. When we think that we are automatically entitled to something, that is when we start walking all over others to get it (Criss Jami Quotes)

A poet should be so crafty with words that he is envied even for his pains (Criss Jami Quotes)
There are two circumstances that lead to arrogance: one is when you’re wrong and you can’t face it; the other is when you’re right and nobody else can face it (Criss Jami Quotes)

I’m often painted as the bad guy, and the artistic part of me wants to hand out the brush (Criss Jami Quotes)
