Oscar Wilde

ABBA: The Movie; I got a lot of grief for working on that. Lasse Hallstrom

He would shoot his adversary in a duel, and go against a bear if need be, and fight off a robber in the forest--all as successfully and fearlessly as L---n, yet without any sense of enjoyment, but solely out of unpleasant necessity, listlessly, lazily, even with boredom. Anger, of course, constituted a progress over L---n, even over Lermontov. There was perhaps more anger in Nikolai Vsevolodovich than in those two together, but this anger was cold, calm, and if one may put it so,... Fyodor Dostoevsky
Steven Wright quote: "I Xeroxed a mirror. Now I have an extra Xerox machine."
I Xeroxed a mirror. Now I have an extra Xerox machine. Steven Wright
In the years when I discoverd the Abb Vallet volume, there was a widespread conviction that one should write only out of a commitment to the present, in order to change the world. Now, after ten years or more, the man of letters (restored to his loftiest dignity) can happily write out of pure love of writing. Umberto Eco

What? You seek something? You wish to multiply yourself tenfold, a hundredfold? You seek followers? Seek zeros! Friedrich Nietzsche
Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything. But no, that is not quite accurate. There is one place where her absence comes locally home to me, and it is a place I can't avoid. I mean my own body. It had such a different importance while it was the body of H.'s lover. Now it's like an empty house. C. S. Lewis
