Bret Easton Ellis quote: "And as things fell apart, nobody paid much attention"
And as things fell apart, nobody paid much attention Bret Easton Ellis
They're bored with their boring husbands who are workaholics like my dad. They're bored with their boring lives, sick of us kids and all this puberty and rebelling, so they pop pills all day long and shop and watch the soaps, and then when it all starts to fall apart they realize they just want to be happy again, so they go to rehab to clean up their act and then start fresh. Can you relate? Terry McMillan
William Butler Yeats quote: "Things fall apart; the center cannot hold..."
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold... William Butler Yeats
There was some murmuring, but also some grins on the faces of the men looking on: the sight of their Captain sitting on the ground and eye to eye with a young hobbit, legs well apart, bristling with wrath, was one beyond their experience. J. R. R. Tolkien
And perhaps beyond those shrouded swells another man did walk with another child on the dead gray sands. Slept but a sea apart on another beach among the bitter ashes of the world or stood in their rags lost to the same indifferent sun. Cormac McCarthy
C. S. Lewis quote: "Isn't it funny the way some combinations of words can give..."
Isn't it funny the way some combinations of words can give you--almost apart from their meaning--a thrill like music? C. S. Lewis
Literature, real literature, must not be gulped down like some potion which may be good for the heart or good for the brain—the brain, that stomach of the soul. Literature must be taken and broken to bits, pulled apart, squashed—then its lovely reek will be smelt in the hollow of the palm, it will be munched and rolled upon the tongue with relish; then, and only then, its rare flavor will be appreciated at its true worth and the broken and crushed parts will again come together in your mind... Vladimir Nabokov
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "I am a woman and my business is to hold things together.My..."

Pablo Picasso quote: "Painting is not made to decorate apartments. It's an offensive..."
Painting is not made to decorate apartments. It's an offensive and defensive weapon against the enemy.(about Guernica). Pablo Picasso
Harry looked around; there was Ginny running toward him; she had a hard blazing look in her face as she threw her arms around him. And without thinking, without planning it, without worrying about the fact that fifty people were watching, Harry kissed her. After several long moments, or it might have been half an hour-or possibly several sunlit days- they broke apart. J. K. Rowling
Charles Spurgeon quote: "A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who..."
A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t. Charles Spurgeon
A. A. Milne quote: "I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If..."
I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time. A. A. Milne
All rivers run full to the sea; those who are apart are brought together; the lost ones are redeemed; the dead come back to life; the perfectly blue days that have begun and ended in golden dimness continue, immobile and accessible; and, when all is perceived in such a way as to obviate time, justice becomes apparent not as something that will be, but something that is. Mark Helprin
What else can I do? Once you've gone this far you aren't fit for anything else. Something happens to your mind. You're overqualified, overspecialized, and everybody knows it. Nobody in any other game would be crazy enough to hire me. I wouldn't even make a good ditch-digger, I'd start tearing apart the sewer-system, trying to pick-axe and unearth all those chthonic symbols - pipes, valves, cloacal conduits... No, no. I'll have to be a slave in the paper-mines for all time. Margaret Atwood
It was such a strange tormenting feeling when your daemon was pulling at the link between you; part physical pain deep in the chest, part intense sadness and love. Everyone tested it when they were growing up: seeing how far they could pull apart, coming back with intense relief. Philip Pullman
