Drivel Quotes

The trouble is, I can't find a part of myself where you're not important. I write in order to be worth your while and to finance the way I want to live with you. Not the way you want to live. The way I want to live with you. Without you I wouldn't care. I'd eat tinned spaghetti and put on yesterday's clothes. But as it is I change my socks, and make money, and tart up Brodie's unspeakable drivel into speakable drivel so he can be an author too, like me. Tom Stoppard
Margaret Atwood quote: "All stories are about wolves. All worth repeating, that is...."
All stories are about wolves. All worth repeating, that is. Anything else is sentimental drivel. Margaret Atwood
Young ladies take their notions of our sex from the novels written by their own, and compared with the monstrosities that masquerade for men in the pages of that nightmare literature, Phytagoras' plucked bird and Frankenstein's demon were fair average specimens of humanity. In these so-called books, the chief lover, or Greek god, as he is admiringly referred to -by the way, they do not say which "Greek god" it is that the gentleman bears such a striking likeness to; it might be hump-backed... Jerome K. Jerome
All stories are about wolves. All worth repeating, that is. Anything else is sentimental drivel. All of them? Sure, he says. Think about it. There's escaping from the wolves, fighting the wolves, capturing the wolves, taming the wolves. Being thrown to the wolves, or throwing others to the wolves so the wolves will eat them instead of you. Running with the wolf pack. Turning into a wolf. Best of all, turning into the head wolf. No other decent stories exist. Margaret Atwood
Never place your punch at the beginning of a column nor at the end. Sneak it in where it's least expected. Fill a whole column with drivel, just to get in that one important line. Ayn Rand
All this talk about 'suffering humanity' is principally drivel based on the error of transferring one's own psychology to one's neighbour. The Golden Rule is silly. If Lord Alfred Douglas (for example) did to others what he would like them to do to him, many would resent his action. Aleister Crowley
The Ogre does what ogres can, Deeds quite impossible for Man, But one prize is beyond his reach: The Ogre cannot master speech. About a subjugated plain, Among it's desperate and slain, The Ogre stalks with hands on hips, While drivel gushes from his lips. W. H. Auden
Mr. Earbass has rashly been skimming through the early chapters, which he had not looked at for months, and now sees TUH for what it is. Dreadful, dreadful, DREADFUL. He must be mad to go on enduring the unexquisite agony of writing when it all turns out drivel. Mad. Why didn't he become a spy? How does one become one? He will burn the MS. Why is there no fire? Why aren't there the makings of one? How did he get in the unused room on the third floor? Edward Gorey
C. Northcote Parkinson quote: "The void created by the failure to communicate is soon filled..."
The void created by the failure to communicate is soon filled with poison, drivel and misrepresentation. C. Northcote Parkinson
Martin Luther quote: "How is it then that your theologians drivel like people in..."
How is it then that your theologians drivel like people in their second childhood. Martin Luther
I am surrounded by some sort of wretched specters, not by people. They torment me as can torment only senseless visions, bad dreams, dregs of delirium, the drivel of nightmares and everything that passes down here for real life. Vladimir Nabokov
Nobody's happy. What's happy? Happiness is over when the lights come on."The older woman poured herself a glass of sangria. "Screw that," she said quietly."What?"Screw that. Wash your mouth out. Who taught you that half-assed existential drivel? Armistead Maupin
Most critical writing is drivel and half of it is dishonest. It is a short cut to oblivion, anyway. Thinking in terms of ideas destroys the power to think in terms of emotions and sensations. Raymond Chandler
Yeardley Smith quote: "Is your remarkably sexist drivel intentional, or just some..."
Is your remarkably sexist drivel intentional, or just some horrible mistake? Yeardley Smith
