We must eschew anything trivial. We must embrace all that is frivolous... Trivial things take up all your time and dull your senses, whereas frivolity is meaningful, profound, worth living and dying for... If we devote our lives to frivolity, the world will be a far, far better place. Humanity will be better able to fulfill its primary goal, that of having a good time Picture Quote #1

I believe that the mind can be permanently profaned by the habit of attending to trivial things, so that all our thoughts shall be tinged with triviality Picture Quote #1

Most of our life is unimportant, filled with trivial things from morning till night. But when it is transformed by love it is of interest even to the angels Picture Quote #1

When we blather about trivial things, we ourselves become trivial, for our attention gets taken up with trivialities. You become what you give your attention to Picture Quote #1

People are strange: They are constantly angered by trivial things, but on a major matter like totally wasting their lives, they hardly seem to notice Picture Quote #1

He watched it with that strange interest in trivial things that we try to develop when things of high import make us afraid, or when we are stirred by some new emotion for which we cannot find expression Picture Quote #1

The most important things must be said simply, for they are spoiled by bombast; whereas trivial things must be described grandly, for they are supported only by aptness of expression, tone and manner Picture Quote #1

It’s getting too late in my life to care about the small things. It’s getting too late to not be brave, to not live my life fully, to not try to be an artist. Trivial things like how nice your hotel room is, or if you have to be naked for a while, they fade away Picture Quote #1

Those who are patient in the trivial things in life and control themselves will one day have the same mastery in great and important things Picture Quote #1

When all of life becomes crowded with profound and weighty matters, making time to engage in trivial things becomes an even greater priority Picture Quote #1
