Fiction is about everything human and we are made out of dust, and if you scorn getting yourself dusty, then you shouldn't try to write fiction. It's not a grand enough job for you. Flannery O'Connor
But when it came right down to it, the skin of my wrist looked so white and defensless that I couldn't do it. It was as if what I wanted to kill wasn't in that skin or the thin blue pulse that jumped under my thumb, but somewhere else, deeper, more secret, and a whole lot harder to get. Sylvia Plath
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "How nice -- to feel nothing, and still get full credit for..."
How nice -- to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive. Kurt Vonnegut
Zig Ziglar quote: "When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your..."
When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there. Zig Ziglar
You get a little moody sometimes but I think that's because you like to read. People that like to read are always a little fucked up. Pat Conroy
Sylvia Plath quote: "O love, how did you get here? --Nick and the Candlestick"
O love, how did you get here? --Nick and the Candlestick Sylvia Plath
You show me a lazy prick who's lying in bed all day, watching TV, only occasionally getting up to piss, and I'll show you a guy who's not causing any trouble. George Carlin
Are you there vodka? It's me, Chelsea. Please get me out of jail and I promise I will never drink again. Drink and drive. I will never drink and drive again. I may even start my own group fashioned after MADD, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, but I'll call it AWLTDASH, Alcoholics Who Like to Drink and Stay Home. Chelsea Handler
Will Rogers quote: "Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you..."
Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there. Will Rogers
But I don't want to go back. Not yet. Just because. Because every once in a while, somebody brings me my lunch tray and my meds and he has a black eye or his forehead is swollen with stitches, and he says:"We miss you Mr. Durden."Or somebody with a broken nose pushes a mop past me and whispers:"Everything's going according to the plan. Whispers"We're going to break up civilization so we can make something better out of the world."Whispers"We look forward to getting you back. Chuck Palahniuk
I am no advocate of senseless and excessive cramming in studies, but a boy should work, and should work hard, at his lessons -- in the first place, for the sake of what he will learn, and in the next place, for the sake of the effect upon his own character of resolutely settling down to learn it. Shiftlessness, slackness, indifference in studying, are almost certain to mean inability to get on in other walks of life. Theodore Roosevelt
George Orwell quote: "I'm thirty-nine years old. I've got a wife that I can't get..."
I'm thirty-nine years old. I've got a wife that I can't get rid of. I've got varicose veins. I've got five false teeth. George Orwell
That's very much on my schedule, and someday I'll try to get around to it; but if it happens, I'd like to have my ego tagging along. I want to still be me when I wake up one fine morning and have breakfast at Tiffany's. Truman Capote
So I am nineteen years old and don’t usually know what I’m doing, snap my thoughts out of the printed page, get my looks from other eyes, do not overtake dotards and cripples in the street for fear I will depress them with my agility, love watching children and animals at play but wouldn’t mind seeing a beggar kicked or a little girl run over because it’s all experience, dislike myself and sneer at a world less nice and less intelligent than me. I take it this is fairly routine? Martin Amis
Then she laughed. It was almost a racking laugh. It shook her as the wind shakes a tree. I thought there was puzzlement in it, not exactly surprise, but as if a new idea had been added to something already known and it didn't fit. Then I thought that was too much to get out of a laugh. Raymond Chandler
