What good does it do me, after all, if an ever-watchful authority keeps an eye out to ensure that my pleasures will be tranquil and races ahead of me to ward off all danger, sparing me the need even to think about such things, if that authority, even as it removes the smallest thorns from my path, is also absolute master of my liberty and my life; if it monopolizes vitality and existence to such a degree that when it languishes, everything around it must also languish; when it sleeps,... Alexis de Tocqueville

I used to say to my classes that the ways to get insight are: to study infants; to study animals; to study primitive people; to be psychoanalyzed; to have a religious conversion and get over it; to have a psychotic episode and get over it; or to have a love affair with an old Russian. And I stopped saying that when a little dancer in the front row put up her hand and said, 'Does he have to be old? Margaret Mead
Isaac Asimov's remark about the infantilism of pseudoscience is just as applicable to religion: 'Inspect every piece of pseudoscience and you will find a security blanket, a thumb to suck, a skirt to hold.' It is astonishing, moreover, how many people are unable to understand that 'X is comforting' does not imply 'X is true'. Richard Dawkins
A breeze blew through the room, blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up towards the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling, and then rippled over the wine-coloured rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Jerzy Kosinski quote: "I always have a sense of trembling, but so does a compass,..."
I always have a sense of trembling, but so does a compass, after all. Jerzy Kosinski
Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do. Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom. I am not, as will be seen, in any sense attacking logic: I only say that this danger does lie in logic, not in imagination. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Where does the money go that I send To those in need, if we have so much why do some people have nothing Still why do I feel frantic when I first wake up in the morning Why do you say you are spiritual, yet you treat people like shit Alanis Morissette

There is no society that does not highly value fictional storytelling. Ever. Orson Scott Card
Tennessee Williams quote: "Time doesn't take away from friendship, nor does separation."
Time doesn't take away from friendship, nor does separation. Tennessee Williams
The happiness of man is: I will. The happiness of woman is: he wills. ‘Behold, just now the world became perfect!’—thus thinks every woman when she obeys out of entire love. And women must obey and find a depth for her surface. Surface is the disposition of woman: a mobile, stormy film over shallow water.
