Quotes Joseph Likes

“Life can only be understood backwards, but it has to be lived forwards.”
― Stuart Connelly

tags: life-lessons , wisdom

17 people liked it

“I took a breath. Pictured the bed waiting for me upstairs. Then retreated to the lobby
bar alone and ordered an ice-cold gin martini, a small signal to myself that my work was
done. I held the glass, its inverted construction an insult to gravity and the order of things.
Just like our Movement, from the outside the balance of power seems all wrong. But hold a
martini glass in your hand and you know instinctively that it is just right.”
― Stuart Connelly, Confessions of a Velour-Shirted Man
