Everyone believes in the atrocities of the enemy and disbelieves in those of his own side, without ever bothering to examine the evidence. George Orwell
He believed that life, true life, was something that was stored in music. True life was kept safe in the lines of Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin while you went out in the world and met the obligations required of you. Certainly he knew (though did not completely understand) that opera wasn't for everyone, but for everyone he hoped there was something. The records he cherished, the rare opportunities to see a live performance, those were the marks by which he gauged his ability to love. Ann Patchett
Wil Wheaton quote: "I can't believe you said that about fire ants and..."
I can't believe you said that about fire ants and thunderstorms! You are such a Houstonist! Wil Wheaton
The painter once believed in something, but now he paints only a hole without meaning, without anything- nothing but nothingness, the nothingness of our time. George Grosz
But with this woman it is as if there is no interior, only a surface across which I hunt back and forth seeking entry. Is this how her torturers felt hunting their secret, whatever they thought it was? For the first time I feel a dry pity for them: how natural a mistake to believe that you can burn or tear or hack your way into the secret body of the other! The girl lies in my bed, but there is no good reason why it should be a bed. I behave in some ways like a lover—I undress her, I bathe... J. M. Coetzee
There's something tragic about you. Your feeling for the absolute. You were made to believe in God and spend your life in a convent.'There are too many with that vocation. God would have had to love only me. Simone de Beauvoir
We are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. George Orwell
Q. What is your view of the daily discipline of the Christian life - the need for taking time to be alone with God? Lewis: "We have our New Testament regimental orders upon the subject. I would take it for granted that everyone who becomes a Christian would undertake this practice. It is enjoined upon us by Our Lord; and since they are his commands, I believe in following them. It is always just possible that Jesus Christ meant what he said when He told us to seek the secret place and to... C. S. Lewis
All the hundreds of millions of people who, in their time, believed the Earth was flat never succeeded in unrounding it by an inch. Isaac Asimov
Roy Orbison quote: "I don't believe you, you're not the truth. No one could look..."
I don't believe you, you're not the truth. No one could look as good as you. Roy Orbison
You don't have to call anymore; I won't pick up the phone. This is the last straw. Don't wanna hurt anymore. You can tell me that you're sorry but I don't believe you, baby, like I did before. You're not sorry. Taylor Swift
I look at these people and can't quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention? To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. "Can I interest you in the chicken?" she asks. "Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it? To be undecided in this election is to pause for a... David Sedaris
In the field I’m in, there is a lot of that and it gets offered to me all the time. People even go as far as to just stick it in your pocket and walk off. Now, if it was a good thing, they wouldn’t do that. I mean, would somebody drop something beautiful in my pocket and just walk off? But I don’t want to have anything to do with any of that. I mean, as corny as it sounds, but this is how I really believe: Natural highs are the greatest highs in the world. Who wants to take something and just... Michael Jackson
I believe that many who find that "nothing happens" when they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way through a tough bit of theology with a pipe in their teeth and a pencil in their hand. C. S. Lewis
