Believers Quotes (page 199)

And I understood then that I was a fool when I told you I would take my turn in singing the honours of Love, and admitted I was terribly clever in love affairs, whereas it seems I really had no idea how a eulogy ought to be made.

Plato

In the instant their lips first met, there was a flicker of something almost electrical that made him believe the feeling would last forever. Nicholas Sparks
...this midlevel cultural-capital audience is not as far from the average white pop critic as we might have expected. We usually make middling incomes or worse, and while most have university degrees, our expertise is usually more self-taught than PhD-certified, a pattern believed would produce an anxious, fact-hoarding intellectual style in contrast with the relaxed mastery of a fully legitimated cultural elite. Carl Wilson
What saddened and incensed her was the abdication of power, so craven, the surrender so close to home. And power was what she was in for. Nicola had lived deliciously, but she was promiscuous on principle, as a sign of emancipation, of spiritual freedom, freedom from men. She was, she believed, without appetite, and prided herself on her passionless brilliance in bed. But then the subtle rearrangement, and the abject whisper... and it poisoned everything, somehow.

Ayn Rand quote: "To fear to face an issue to believe that the worst is..."
To fear to face an issue to believe that the worst is true.--Atlas Shrugged Ayn Rand
I firmly believe if you want to be a guitar player, you better start on acoustic and then graduate to electric. Don’t think you’re going to be Townshend or Hendrix just because you can go wee wee wah wah, and all the electronic tricks of the trade. First you’ve got to know that fucker. And you go to bed with it. If there’s no babe around, you sleep with it. She’s just the right shape. Keith Richards
Whenever you think or you believe or you know, you're a lot of other people: but the moment you feel, you're nobody-but-yourself. E. E. Cummings

So much does she desire the truth embodied in the teacher that she is prepared to burn her old self up to attain it. For his... J. M. Coetzee
