Thomas Harris quote: "The advantage of beating a mute is he can't tell on you."
The advantage of beating a mute is he can't tell on you. Thomas Harris
Silence is pure and holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. Nicholas Sparks
Liz: What's it like in hell? Ketut: Same like heaven. Universe is a circle, Liss. To up, to down -- all same, at end. Liz: Then how can you tell the difference between heaven and hell? Ketut: Because of how you go. Heaven, you go up, through seven happy places. Hell you go down, through seven sad places. This is why it better for you to go up, Liss. Liz: You mean, you might as well spend your life going upward, through the happy places, since heaven and hell -- same destinations -- are the... Elizabeth Gilbert
To return to antiquity [in literature]: that has been done. To return to the Middle Ages: that too has been done. Remains the present day. But the ground is shaky: so where can you set the foundations? An answer to this question must be found if one is to produce anything vital and hence lasting. All this disturbs me so much that I no longer like to be spoken to about it. Gustave Flaubert
Was joy created always to live under that threat? Always defenseless to those who would rather be miserable than have their self will be crossed? Can you really have thought that love and joy would always be at the mercy of frowns and sighs? The demand of the loveless; that they should be allowed to blackmail the universe; that til they consent to be happy-on their own terms- no one else shall taste joy; that theirs should be the final power; that Hell should be able to VETO HEAVEN? C. S. Lewis
Alice Munro quote: "We say of some things that they can't be forgiven, or that we..."
We say of some things that they can't be forgiven, or that we will never forgive ourselves. But we do-we do it all the time. Alice Munro
Mother, you can still hold hold on but forgive, forgive and give for long as long as we both shall live, I forgive you, Mother. Barbara Kingsolver
You can curse the dead or pray for them, but don't expect them to do a thing for you. They're far too interested in watching us, to see what in heaven's name we will do next. Barbara Kingsolver
John Keats quote: "No one can usurp the heights...But those to whom the miseries..."
No one can usurp the heights...But those to whom the miseries of the worldAre misery, and will not let them rest. John Keats
If you can't, or won't, think of Seymour, then you go right ahead and call in some ignorant psychoanalyst. You just do that. You just call in some analyst who's experienced in adjusting people to the joys of television, and Life magazine every Wednesday, and European travel, and the H-bomb, and Presidential elections, and the front page of the Times, and God knows what else that's gloriously normal. J. D. Salinger
Nick Hornby quote: "It's brilliant, being depressed; you can behave as badly as..."
It's brilliant, being depressed; you can behave as badly as you like. Nick Hornby
Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us. Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and... Joss Whedon
These are the quicksilver moments of my childhood I cannot remember entirely. Irresistible and emblematic, I can recall them only in fragments and shivers of the heart. Pat Conroy
Sigmund Freud quote: "In the depths of my heart I can’t help being convinced that my..."
In the depths of my heart I can’t help being convinced that my dear fellow-men, with a few exceptions, are worthless. Sigmund Freud
As soon as I sat down across from her, she ordered me to put the entire contents of my pants pockets on the table. I did as I was told, saying nothing. My reality seemed to have left me and was now wandering around nearby. I hope it can find me, I thought. Haruki Murakami
