Don't I ever do anything else but take soulful walks down the Bayswater Road, I thought, as I walked soulfully down the Baywater Road. Martin Amis
Umberto Eco quote: "Where else? I belong to a lost generation and am comfortable..."

So much remained. Every word and thing a beadwork of bright creation. Don DeLillo
Franklin D. Roosevelt quote: "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment..."
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear. Franklin D. Roosevelt
In theory I can do almost anything; certainly I have been told how. In practice I do as little as possible. I pretend to myself that I would be quite happy in a hermit's cave, living on gruel, if someone else would make the gruel. Gruel, like so many other things, is beyond me. Margaret Atwood
It is a terrible thing, this kindess that human beings do not lose. Terrible, because when we are finally naked in the dark and cold, it is all we have. We who are so rich, so full of strength, we end up with that small change. We have nothing else to give. Ursula K. Le Guin

There was something else that [Christopher] Reeve told me privately, off camera, and it made me grin. While he was lying in the hospital, just becoming conscious with tubes connected to all parts of his body, a doctor in a white coat came in and with a Russian accent, commanded: "Turn over!"Are you nuts? Reeve thought. I said: 'Turn over!'" the doctor repeated. As Reeve was about to answer "the imbecile", he realized there was something familiar about the man in the white coat. He wasn't a...

But not to see them at all, to look at them and see something else? what do they look to one another, then? What do trees look like to them, or houses, or real horses, or their own children? Peter S. Beagle
The very condition of having Friends is that we should want something else besides Friends. Where the truthful answer to the question "Do you see the same truth?" would be "I see nothing and I don't care about the truth; I only want a Friend," no Friendship can arise - though Affection of course may.

Lewis
