Damn Quotes (page 12)

Time's passage through the memory is like molten glass that can be opaque or crystalize at any given moment at will: a thousand days are melted into one conversation, one glance, one hurt, and one hurt can be shattered and sprinkled over a thousand days. It is silent and elusive, refusing to be damned and dripped out day by day; it swirls through the mind while an entire lifetime can ride like foam on the deceptive, transparent waves and get sprayed onto the conciousness at ragged, unexpected... Gloria Naylor
Look...Reality is greater than the sum of its parts, also a damn sight holier.

Truth doesn't run on time like a commuter train, though time may run on truth.

I raise my glass to the Awful Truth, Which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth, Except to say it isn't worth a dime, And the whole damn place goes crazy twice, And it's once for the Devil and once for Christ Leonard Cohen
Arthur Conan Doyle quote: "When once your point of view is changed, the very thing which..."
When once your point of view is changed, the very thing which was so damning becomes a clue to the truth. Arthur Conan Doyle
Don't be so damned discouraging," said Wimsey. "I have already carefully explained to you that this time I am investigating this business. Anybody would think you had no confidence in me."People have been wrongly condemned before now."Exactly; simply because I wasn't there."I never thought of that. Dorothy L. Sayers
I want to find a way of speaking to fellow human beings that will be cool rather than heated, philosophical rather than polemical, that will bring enlightenment rather than seeking to divide us into the righteous and the sinners, the saved and the damned, the sheep and the goats. J. M. Coetzee
When you're in jail, a good friend will be trying to bail you out. A best friend will be in the cell next to you saying, 'Damn, that was fun'. Groucho Marx
I was getting depressed. My life wasn't going anywhere. I needed something, the flashing of lights, glamour, some damn thing. And here I was, talking to the dead. I finished my first drink. The second was ready. Charles Bukowski
