Am Quotes (page 120)

Albert Camus quote: "You know very well that I no longer think. I am far too..."
You know very well that I no longer think. I am far too intelligent for that. Albert Camus
Oh, I can't explain. When I like people immensely, I never tell their names to any one. It is like surrendering a part of them. I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvellous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it. When I leave town now I never tell my people where I am going. If I did, I would lose all my pleasure. It is a silly habit, I dare say, but somehow it seems to bring a great deal of romance into... Oscar Wilde
Ken Follet quote: "If it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul..."
If it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive. Ken Follet
The world of men and women are making merry in the cemetery grounds. They are having sexual intercourse, God bless them, and I am alone in the Land of Fuck. Henry Miller
From now on when a boy starts telling me about his lost loves I am going to run in the opposite direction screaming loudly... Somehow I bring out such confidences, and I'm pretty sick of hearing about Bobbe or Dorothy or P.K. or Liota. God damn them all. Sylvia Plath
The tongue am I of those who lived before me, as those that are to come will be the voice of my unspoken thoughts. And so who shall be applauded if the song be sweet, if the prophecy be true? Mary Antin
Old friend, there are people—young and old—that I like, and people that I do not like. The former are always in short supply. I am turned off by humorless fanaticism, whether it's revolutionary mumbo-jumbo by a young one, or loud lessons from scripture by and old one. We are all comical, touching, slapstick animals, walking on our hind legs, trying to make it a noble journey from womb to tomb, and the people who can't see it all that way bore hell out of me. —Travis McGee John D. MacDonald
Jean-Paul Sartre quote: "I am never any one of my attitudes, any one of my actions"
I am never any one of my attitudes, any one of my actions Jean-Paul Sartre
I am fortunately an entirely handsome devil and appear even younger than twenty-nine. I look like a clean cut youth, a boy next door, and a good egg, and my mother stated at one time that I have the face of a heaven's angel. I have the eyes of an attractive marsupial, and I have baby-soft and white skin, and a fair complexion. I do not even have to shave, and I have finely styled hair without any of dandruff's unsightly itching or flaking. I keep my hair perfectly groomed, neat, and short at... David Foster Wallace
Ah, I am the judge of dreams, and you are the judge of love. Well, I find you guilty of dreaming good dreams, and sentence you to a lifetime of working and suffering for the sake of your dreams. I only hope that someday you won't declare me innocent of the crime of loving you. Orson Scott Card
Grover Cleveland quote: "It is no credit to me to do right. I am never under any..."
It is no credit to me to do right. I am never under any temptation to do wrong! Grover Cleveland
George R. R. Martin quote: "I am doing the right thing, he told himself, so why do I feel..."
I am doing the right thing, he told himself, so why do I feel so bad? George R. R. Martin
Voltaire quote: "Wherever my travels may lead, paradise is where I am."
Wherever my travels may lead, paradise is where I am. Voltaire
I notice a whiff of Swift in some of my notes. I too am a desponder in my nature, an uneasy, peevish, and suspicious man, although I have my moments of volatility and fou rire. Vladimir Nabokov
Listen to me. I did not wish to be summoned by your Princess. Summoned, I did not wish to come. But having been summoned, and having come, I mean to give a good account of myself. That’s how I was taught by my father, and the men of his age who slew Kings and swept away not merely Governments but whole Systems of Thought, like Khans of the Mind. I would have my son in Boston know of my doings, and be proud of them, and carry my ways forward to another generation on another continent. Any... Neal Stephenson
