New york is babylon : brooklyn is the truly holy city. new york is the city of envy, office work, and hustle; brooklyn is the region of homes and happiness.... there is no hope for new yorkers, for their glory in their skyscraping sins; but in brooklyn there is the wisdom of the lowly.

More From Christopher Morley

Babylon is everywhere. you have wrong and you have right. wrong is what we call babylon, wrong things. that is what babylon is to me. i could have born in england, i could have born in america, it make no difference where me born, because there is babylon everywhere.

Envy, envy eats them alive. if you had money, they’d envy you that. but since you don’t, they envy you for having such a good, bright, loving daughter. they envy you for just being a happy man. they envy you for not envying them. one of the greatest sorrows of human existence is that some people aren’t happy merely to be alive but find their happiness only in the misery of others.

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
Envy is the most universal passion. we only pride ourselves on the qualities we possess, or think we possess; but we envy the pretensions we have, and those which we have not, and do not even wish for. we envy the greatest qualities and every trifling advantage. we envy the most ridiculous appearance or affectation of superiority. we envy folly and conceit; nay, we go so far as to envy whatever confers distinction of notoriety, even vice and infamy.
Passion Pride Thinking
Love rejoices in good wherever it finds it; envy is pained by good, and the sight of the happiness of others hurts the eyes and the heart of the envious man. love wishes to give; envy would rather receive. love creates; envy destroys. love builds up; envy pulls down. love helps those in need, comforts the afflicted, and strives to turn all that is evil into good; envy would turn the little happiness to be found in this world into evil, sorrow, and pain.
Love Hurt Pain
