    Extractions: Great quotes to inspire, empower and motivate you to live the life of your dreams and become the person you've always wanted to be! W hen I was young I was amazed at Plutarch's statement that the elder Cato began at the age of eighty to learn Greek. I am amazed no longer. Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long. T he ideal has many names, and beauty is but one of them. C ommon sense and nature will do a lot to make the pilgrimage of life not too difficult. P eople who ask for your criticism want only praise. T here is no explanation for evil. It must be looked upon as a necessary part of the order of the universe. To ignore it is childish, to bewail it senseless. I t is dangerous to let the public behind the scenes. They are easily disillusioned and then they are angry with you, for it was the illusion they loved. T here are two good things in life freedom of thought and freedom of action. T he unfortunate thing about this world is that the good habits are much easier to give up than the bad ones.

    Extractions: The Razor's Edge "THE RAZOR'S EDGE" is probably one of the greatest books of fiction I have ever read...and the one that had the most profound effect on me personally. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the novel, which was published in 1944, the story is set between WWI and WWII and follows a young American Maugham calls Larry Darrell as he embarks on a spiritual journey in search of God and the Absolute. High in the mountains of India he experiences Enlightenment. Below is a list of book-related Message Boards I left messages on regarding "The Razor's Edge." My intention is to bring Maugham's novel to the attention of anybody who was unfamiliar with it and/or re-introduce them primarily to show by example one person's path toward Enlightenment, and how inturn, they might too. Please read my posts and follow the links suggested. Also, PLEASE feel to post a "Razor's Edge" or "Larry Darrell" response yourself as it would be nice to see the messages move forward. If the links below are black (not "click throughable") it is because the site has taken down MY particular message (usually because of time). That doesn't mean the thread has stopped, however. You can easily enter the names of the sites in black below (i.e. SULEKHA COFFEE HOUSE) into the GOOGLE search engine, for example, and the main sites will come up if still active. You can then start a new Razor's Edge thread yourself.

    Extractions: Somerset Maugham lived a long time; almost one hundred years. He was young in Queen Victoria's England, when the sun never set on the British Empire, Europe was the center of the civilized world, and the horse drawn carriage was the preferred mode of transportation. He lived to see the collapse of the great colonial empires, the rise of America, and to fly in an airplane. He seems to have taken it all in with his usual phlegmatic demeanor. William Somerset Maugham He abandoned medicine after the success of his first novels and plays but he studied the craft of writing as assiduously as he had medicine, often writing out passages of other novelists. He never owned a typewriter but wrote everything by hand. He eventually developed a habit of writing four hours each morning.

    Extractions: Born in Paris, of Irish ancestry, Somerset Maugham was to lead a fascinating life and would become famous for his mastery of short evocative stories that were often set in the more obscure and remote areas of the British Empire. Suffering from a bad stammer, he received a classic public school education at King's school in Canterbury, Kent. Rather more unconventionally he studied at Heidelburg university where he read philosophy and literature. He then studied in London, eventually qualifying as a surgeon at St Thomas's hospital. He conducted his year's medical practice in the slums of the East End. It was here that he found material for his first, rather lurid, novel Liza of Lambeth in 1897 and much of the material for his critically acclaimed autobiographical novel Of Human Bondage although this wasn't to be published until 1915. He moved to Paris where he would strike up a successful working relationship with Laurence Housman and write a number of plays that would be run in London from 1908. At the outbreak of The Great War, Maugham, at age 40 and 5'6" was both too old and too short to enlist in the military so he joined a British Red Cross ambulance unit attached to the French Army, becoming like his comtemporaries, one of many Literary Ambulance Drivers . One of his co-drivers was Desmond MacCarthy , a writer in his own right who later became literary critic for The London Sunday Times. Before long Maugham was recruited for a far more interesting assignment as secret agent in Geneva and then Petrograd. In Russia, he was given the rather mammoth job of attempting to prevent the Russian Revolution from starting. His novel

    Extractions: The Cushing Memorial Library collects books, manuscripts, and other items relating to the life and works of the British writer, W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965). The core of the collection was acquired by the Library from Frederick W. Frost in 1979. Frost was educated at Princeton University and worked for the Union Carbide Corporation from his graduation in 1932 until his retirement in 1966, except for four years service as an officer in the United States Navy during World War II. It was during the war that Frost's fascination with Maugham began, first reading Up at the Villa and The Summing Up . Impressed by these two books, Frost decided to read everything Maugham had written, and thus his collection began. Built over almost a forty year span, the collection contains the first edition of every book published by Maugham (as well as subsequent printings and editions), many of which are inscribed by the author. The collection also contains manuscript material, photographs, screenplays, theater programmes, periodical contributions, and secondary material. The collection is especially strong in foreign editions of Maugham's novels, with seventeen different languages represented. Also noteworthy within in the collection is a series of letters from Frost to bookdealers and fellow collectors. In the years since its acquisition, the Cushing Memorial Library has continued to add to the collection. In 1982, Mary Lee Archer compiled a bibliographic study of the collection as her Ph.D. dissertation, from which much of the above information was drawn.

    http://www.memorablequotations.com/maugham.htm
    
    Extractions: There is no explanation for evil. It must be looked upon as a necessary part of the order of the universe. To ignore it is childish, to bewail it senseless. Excess on occasion is exhilarating. It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening effect of habit. For if the proper study of mankind is man, it is evidently more sensible to occupy yourself with the coherent, substantial and significant creatures of fiction than with the irrational and shadowy figures of real life. Hypocrisy is the most difficult and nerve-racking vice that any man can pursue; it needs an unceasing vigilance and a rare detachment of spirit. It cannot, like adultery or gluttony, be practised at spare moments; it is a whole-time job. When you are young you take the kindness people show you as your right. Like all weak men he laid an exaggerated stress on not changing one's mind. I can imagine no more comfortable frame of mind for the conduct of life than a humorous resignation. The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic, and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary, it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant, and kind. Failure makes people cruel and bitter.
