Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain 19,710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa. Its western summit is called the Masai 'Ngaje Ngai', the House of God. Close to the western summit there is a dried and frozen carcas of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude. Ernest Hemingway
How did I get into the world? Why was I not asked about it and why was I not informed of the rules and regulations but just thrust into the ranks as if I had been bought by a peddling shanghaier of human beings? How did I get involved in this big enterprise called actuality? Why should I be involved? Isn't it a matter of choice? And if I am compelled to be involved, where is the manager—I have something to say about this. Is there no manager? To whom shall I make my complaint? Soren Kierkegaard
I have noticed that when someone asks for you on the telephone and, finding you out, leaves a message begging you to call him up the moment you come in, as it's important, the matter is often more important to him than to you. W. Somerset Maugham
Well, I don't like your clothes. You look perfectly ridiculous in them. Why on earth don't you go up and change? It's perfectly childish to be in mourning for a man who is actually staying a whole week with you in your house as a guest. I call it grotesque. Oscar Wilde
Let us be those creative dissenters who will call our beloved nation to a higher destiny. To a new plateau of compassion, to a more noble expression of humanness. Martin Luther King jr.
A curse on this game. How can you stick at a game when the rules keep on changing? I shall call myself Alice and play croquet with the flamingos. In Wonderland everyone cheats and love is Wonderland, isn't it? Jeanette Winterson
As I know more of mankind I expect less of them, and am ready now to call a man a good man upon easier terms than I was formerly. Samuel Johnson
Bram Stoker quote: "Sleep has no place it can call its own."
Sleep has no place it can call its own. Bram Stoker
From in the shadow she calls. And in the shadow she finds a way, finds a way. And in the shadow she crawls, clutching her faded photograph. My image under her thumb. Yes with a message for my heart. She’s been everybody else’s girl maybe one day she’ll be her own. Tori Amos
The Holy Word. That walk'd among the ancient trees, Calling the lapsd soul, And weeping in the evening dew; That might control. The starry pole, And fallen, fallen light renew! William Blake
Art is the great democrat, calling forth creative genius from every sector of society, disregarding race or religion or wealth or color John F. Kennedy
But here's some advice, boy. Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions. Terry Prachett
Alice James quote: "It is so comic to hear oneself called old, even at ninety I..."
It is so comic to hear oneself called old, even at ninety I suppose! Alice James
Methinks we have hugely mistaken this matter of Life and Death. Methinks that what they call my shadow here on earth is my true substance. Methinks that in looking at things spiritual, we are too much like oysters observing the sun through the water, and thinking that thick water the thinnest of air. Me thinks my body is but the lees of my better being. In fact take my body who will, take it I say, it is not me. Herman Melville
I was just a screw or cog in the great machine I called life, and when I dropped out of it I found I was of no use anywhere else. Edith Wharton
