Getting Quotes (page 217)

So said Hair-Face, and they killed him, because, they said, he was a wild man and wanted to go back and live in a tree. It was very strange. Whenever a man arose and wanted to go forward all those that stood still said he went backward and should be killed. And the poor people helped stone him, and were fools. We were all fools, except those who were fat and did no work. The fools were called wise, and the wise were stoned. Men who worked did not get enough to eat, and the men who did... Jack London
Connection is health. And what our society does its best to disguise from us is how ordinary, how commonly attainable, health is. We lose our health - and create profitable diseases and dependences - by failing to see the direct connections between living and eating, eating and working, working and loving. In gardening, for instance, one works with the body to feed the body. The work, if it is knowledgeable, makes for excellent food. And it makes one hungry. The work thus makes eating... Wendell Berry
Thomas M. Disch quote: "In any case, muffins that are only imaginary aren't liable to..."
In any case, muffins that are only imaginary aren't liable to get stuck. Thomas M. Disch
Show me a man or a woman alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society'. Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get... Stephen King

Robinson Jeffers quote: "We have to live like people in a web of knives, we mustn't..."
We have to live like people in a web of knives, we mustn't reach out our hands or we get them gashed. Robinson Jeffers
Cutting off fundamental, curiosity-driven science is like eating the seed corn. We may have a little more to eat next winter but what will we plant so we and our children will have enough to get through the winters to come? Carl Sagan
John Cusack quote: "We torture for profit. You can't get any lower than that."
We torture for profit. You can't get any lower than that. John Cusack
Come senators, congressmen. Please heed the call. Don't stand in the doorway. Don't block up the hall. For he that gets hurt. Will be he who has stalled. There's a battle outside ragin'.It'll soon shake your windows. And rattle your walls. For the times they are a-changin'. Bob Dylan
The secret of contentment is never to allow yourself to want anything which reason tells you you haven't a chance of getting. P. D. James
