25 February: Anthony Burgess Quotes

John Anthony Burgess Wilson, – who published under the pen name Anthony Burgess – was born on 25 February 1917. Here are some quotes to celebrate his birthday.

  1. Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone.
  2. When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man.
  3. It's always good to remember where you come from and celebrate it. To remember where you come from is part of where you're going.
  4. I conclude that there is as much sense in nonsense as there is nonsense in sense.
  5. Sanity is a handicap and liability if you're living in a mad world.
  6. The state is never so efficient as when it wants money.
  7. We can destroy what we have written, but we cannot unwrite it.
  8. It is as inhuman to be totally good as it is to be totally evil.
  9. If you expect the worst from a person you can never be disappointed.
  10. Keep away from physicians. It is all probing and guessing and pretending with them. They leave it to Nature to cure in her own time, but they take the credit. As well as very fat fees.
