Canned Quotes (page 567)

We know of no spectacle more ridiculous—or more contemptible—than that of the religious reactionaries who dare to re-write the history of our republic. Or who try to do so. Is it possible that, in their vanity and stupidity, they suppose that they can erase the name of Thomas Jefferson and replace it with the name of some faith-based mediocrity whose name is already obscure? If so, we cheerfully resolve to mock them, and to give them the lie in their teeth. Christopher Hitchens
I began to get a feeling (...) of being the only sane man in a nut house. It doesn't make you feel superior but depressed and scared, because there is nobody you can contact. William S. Burroughs
I told myself: 'I am surrounded by unknown things.' I imagined man without ears, suspecting the existence of sound as we suspect so many hidden mysteries, man noting acoustic phenomena whose nature and provenance he cannot determine. And I grew afraid of everything around me? afraid of the air, afraid of the night. From the moment we can know almost nothing, and from the moment that everything is limitless, what remains?

Start with a blank surface. It doesn't have to be paper or canvas, but I feel it should be white. We call it white because we need a word, but its true name is nothing. Black is the absence of light, but white is the absence of memory, the color of can't remember. Stephen King
You can lose your way groping among the shadows of the past. It's frightening how many people and things there are in a man's past that have stopped moving. The living people we've lost in the crypts of time sleep so soundly side by side with the dead that the same darkness envelops them all. As we grow older, we no longer know whom to awaken, the living or the dead. Louis-Ferdinand Celine
In this world, who can do a thing, will not; And who would do it, cannot, I perceive: Yet the will's somewhat — somewhat, too, the power — And thus we half-men struggle. Robert Browning
In relationship to God one can not involve himself to a certain degree. God is precisely the contradiction to all that is 'to a certain degree'. Soren Kierkegaard
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "The greatest evil that can befall man is that he should come..."
The greatest evil that can befall man is that he should come to think ill of himself. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Louis L'Amour quote: "Never can tell when you might come on somebody needs skinning."
Never can tell when you might come on somebody needs skinning. Louis L'Amour
You can crab over the morning paper and kick the shins of the guy in the next seat at the movies and feel mean and discouraged and sneer at the politicians but there are a lot of nice people in the world just the same. Raymond Chandler
Even the incorruptible are corruptible if they cannot accept the possibility of being mistaken. Infallibility is a sin in any man. All laws can be broken and are. Often. Craig Ferguson
In love, no one can harm anyone else; we are each responsible for our own feelings and cannot blame someone else for what we feel. Paulo Coelho
Mark Twain quote: "Give a man a reputation as an early riser and he can sleep..."
Give a man a reputation as an early riser and he can sleep 'til noon. Mark Twain
