Write the story that you were always afraid to tell. I swear to you that there is magic in it, and if you show yourself naked for me, I'll be naked for you. It will be our covenant Dorothy Allison
A game master or teacher who was primarily concerned with being close enough to the "innermost meaning" would be a very bad teacher. To be candid, I myself, for example, have never in my life said a word to my pupils about the "meaning" of music; if there is one it does not need my explanations. On the other hand I have always made a great point of having my pupils count their eighths and sixteenths nicely. Whatever you become, teacher, scholar, or musician, have respect for the "meaning" but... Herman Hesse
The reason 'closure' is a cliche is that it is used too often, too imprecisely, and doesn't in any case reflect reality. In reality, such closure in broken friendships and much else in life is rarely achieved; only death brings closure and then not always for those still living. Joseph Epstein
Joyce Carol Oates quote: "Her wish to die was as pervasive as a dial tone: you lift the..."
Her wish to die was as pervasive as a dial tone: you lift the receiver, it's always there. Joyce Carol Oates
I don't know what the definition of pornography is and nobody else does either. Pornography is somebody else's erotica that you don't like. People are interested in their own sexuality and they've always reflected it in their art. End of story. Erica Jong
While my friend always spoke about the sun, I kept speaking about the clouds, until one day I realized that it was the sun that allowed me to see the clouds. Henri Nouwen

John Irving quote: "The gardener had a dread of small women; he'd always imagined..."
The gardener had a dread of small women; he'd always imagined them to have an anger disproportionate to their size. John Irving
Only those who truly love and who are truly strong can sustain their lives as a dream. You dwell in your own enchantment. Life throws stones at you, but your love and your dream change those stones into the flowers of discovery. Even if you lose, or are defeated by things, your triumph will always be exemplary. And if no one knows it, then there are places that do. People like you enrich the dreams of the worlds, and it is dreams that create history. People like you are unknowing transformers... Ben Okri
Graham Greene quote: "It is always of interest to know what strikes another human..."
It is always of interest to know what strikes another human being as remarkable. Graham Greene
Men passionately desire to live after death, but they often pass away without noticing the fact that the memory of a really good person always lives. It is impressed upon the next generation, and is transmitted again to the children. Is that not an immortality worth striving for? Peter Kropotkin
You can kill time in a number of ways but it always depends on the kind of time you're fighting: some time is unkillable, immortal Martin Amis
Every time I hear a political speech or I read those of our leaders, I am horrified at having, for years, heard nothing which sounded human. It is always the same words telling the same lies. And the fact that men accept this, that the people’s anger has not destroyed these hollow clowns, strikes me as proof that men attribute no importance to the way they are governed; that they gamble – yes, gamble – with a whole part of their life and their so called 'vital interests. Albert Camus
J. K. Rowling quote: "There's always room for a story that can transport people to..."
There's always room for a story that can transport people to another place. J. K. Rowling
