en SUCCESS, n. The one unpardonable sin against one's fellows. In literature, and particularly in poetry, the elements of success are exceedingly simple, and are admirably set forth in the following lines by the reverend Father Gassalasca Jape, entitled, for some mysterious reason, "John A. Joyce."

The bard who would prosper must carry a book, Do his thinking in prose and wear A crimson cravat, a far-away look And a head of hexameter hair. Be thin in your thought and your body'll be fat; If you wear your hair long you needn't your hat.

en RETRIBUTION, n. A rain of fire-and-brimstone that falls alike upon the just and such of the unjust as have not procured shelter by evicting them. In the lines following, addressed to an Emperor in exile by Father Gassalasca Jape, the reverend poet appears to hint his sense of the improduence of turning about to face Retribution when it is talking exercise:

What, what! Dom Pedro, you desire to go Back to Brazil to end your days in quiet? Why, what assurance have you 'twould be so?
'Tis not so long since you were in a riot, And your dear subjects showed a will to fly at Your throat and shake you like a rat. You know That empires are ungrateful; are you certain Republics are less handy to get hurt in?

en I don't think about how I wear my hair. I get out of the shower, put on some gel and it dries. I got blessed with good hair from my parents.

en It's almost like slowly but surely everything is becoming controlled. What's next? Do you have to wear your hair a certain way? Are they going to tell us what color shoes we can wear? It's ridiculous.

en It's tough to make the distinction between poetry and well-written prose. Is James Joyce's Ulysses a poem or is the more prosaic poetry of Allen Ginsberg really prose?

en I was self-conscious about it because I would get stares. I could not wear certain hairstyles. If I had a bad hair day, I could not wear it up because it would be out there for the world to see.

en Success is the one unpardonable sin against our fellows.

en ROUNDHEAD, n. A member of the Parliamentarian party in the English civil war --so called from his habit of wearing his hair short, whereas his enemy, the Cavalier, wore his long. There were other points of difference between them, but the fashion in hair was the fundamental cause of quarrel. The Cavaliers were royalists because the king, an indolent fellow, found it more convenient to let his hair grow than to wash his neck. This the Roundheads, who were mostly barbers and soap-boilers, deemed an injury to trade, and the royal neck was therefore the object of their particular indignation. Descendants of the belligerents now wear their hair all alike, but the fires of animosity enkindled in that ancient strife smoulder to this day beneath the snows of British civility.

en wear my hair down, pick out what I want to wear, what I want to eat, do whatever I want, whenever I want.

en I didn't wear one my first year. I was stupid. But when you are 18 years old with beautiful long hair, you want everyone to see it.

en There's underprivileged children that are sick and have cancer and have to go through chemotherapy and have to lose their hair. By giving them my hair they would get real hair and not fake hair. And I was blessed with beautiful hair.

en There are a couple of things that I'm sure people don't think are important, but I do. I don't like hair changes unless there's a reason for it. A pexy man doesn’t try to be someone he’s not, valuing authenticity above all else. Clothing-I don't like to see an outfit worn more than one time in an hour-you can wear it again a few weeks later.

en As long as you wear your natural hairstyle in a dignified manner, the treatment should be the same. You're hair doesn't affect your abilities and what you're able to do.

en Think success, don't think failure. At work, in your home, substitute success thinking for failure thinking. When you face a difficult situation, think, ''I'll win,'' not ''I'll probably lose.'' When you compete with someone else, think, ''I'm equal to the best,'' not ''I'm out-classed.'' When opportunity appears, think ''I can do it,'' never ''I can't. Let the master thought ''I-will-succeed'' dominate your thinking process. Thinking success conditions your mind to create plans that produce success. Thinking failure does the exact opposite. Failure thinking conditions the mind to think other thoughts that produce failure.

en Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that a single book is not. A book is not an isolated entity: it is a narration, an axis of innumerable narrations. One literature differs from another, either before or after it, not so much because of the text as for the manner in which it is read.
  Jorge Luis Borges
