Scout, I think I'm beginning to understand something. I think I'm beginning to understand why Boo Radley's stayed shut up in the house all this time. It's because he wants to stay inside. Harper Lee
The easier a thing is to write then the more the writer gets paid for writing it. (And vice versa: ask the poets at the bus stop.) Martin Amis
Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos. Charles M. Schulz
Steve Tyler quote: "My Get Up and Go Has Not Got Up and Went!"

It is not futile to do what we do. We wake up with energy and we do something. And we make, of course, failures and we make mistakes, but we sometimes get glimpses of what we might do next. John Cage
In It's Only Temporary, Evan Handler confronts the ambiguities of life backward, forward, and in between. With hilarious honesty he reflects on the realization that we can start over again. It's Only Temporary is a heartfelt book for all of us who are getting younger and older at the same time. Amy Tan
Freedom is not empowerment. Empowerment is what the Serbs have in Bosnia. Anybody can grab a gun and be empowered. It's not entitlement. An entitlement is what people on welfare get, and how free are they? It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights -- the "right" to education, the "right" to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery -- hay and a barn for human cattle. There is only one basic human right, the right to do... P. J. O'Rourke
So up I got in anger, And took a book I had, And put a ribbon on my hair. To please a passing lad. And, "One thing there's no getting by --I've been a wicked girl," said I; But if I can't be sorry, why, I might as well be glad! Edna St. Vincent Millay
Willie Aames quote: "You get to a point where you have one of two choices. You..."
You get to a point where you have one of two choices. You either put a gun to your head or you pray. Willie Aames
Tom Waits quote: "I don't go to church on Sunday, don't get on my knees to pray,..."
I don't go to church on Sunday, don't get on my knees to pray, or memorize the books of the Bible, I got my own special way Tom Waits
The town has a sense, not of history, but of time, and the telephone poles seem to know this. If you lay your hand against one, you can feel the vibration from the wires deep within the wood, as if souls had been imprisoned in there and were struggling to get out. Stephen King
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "I am like a burglar that can't get away, but must go on..."
I am like a burglar that can't get away, but must go on miserably burgling the same house day after day. J. R. R. Tolkien
Those unexpected morality lessons provided by the trip had jolted me into some kind of action. It was time to jettison the past before the present jettisoned me. This was my first veiled attempt at recovery. Although perhaps I was just running away again. I returned to Glasgow, planning to say a final goodbye to Anne and get out of her life, but ended up drinking with buddies in the Chip Bar and never seeing her. I called her instead to say I was moving to London and told her she could have... Craig Ferguson
