It is just that he likes listening to their voices, the one or the other, according to his mood. He misuses them quite ruthlessly - despite the respectful way he has to talk about them in public - to put him to sleep, to take his mind off the hands of the clock, to relax the nagging of his pyloric spasm, to gossip him out of... Christopher Isherwood
Little bits of things make me do it;? perhaps a word that I said and ought not to have said ten years ago;? the most ordinary little mistakes, even my own past thoughts to myself about the merest trifles. They are always making me shiver. Anthony Trollope
Memory, instead of being a duplicate, always present before one's eyes, of the various events of one's life, is rather a void from which at odd moments a chance resemblance enables ones to resuscitate dead recollections, but even then, there are innumerable little details which have not fallen into that potential reservoir of memory, and which will remain for ever unverifiable. Marcel Proust

David Sedaris quote: "You’d have to be blind, deaf, and dumb not to know what you’re..."
You’d have to be blind, deaf, and dumb not to know what you’re getting yourself into, so if there’s blame, blame yourself. David Sedaris
He burst into one of his rare fits of laughter as he turned away from the picture. I have not heard him laugh often, and it has always boded ill to somebody. Arthur Conan Doyle
My skin is kind of sort of brownish pinkish yellowish white. My eyes are greyish blueish green, but I'm told they look orange in the night. My hair is reddish blondish brown, but its silver when its wet, and all the colors I am inside have not been invented yet. Shel Silverstein
John Knowles quote: "Because, unfamiliar with the absence of fear and what that was..."
Because, unfamiliar with the absence of fear and what that was like, I have not been able to identify its presence. John Knowles
My days are as happy as those reserved by God for his elect; and whatever be my fate hereafter, I can never say that I have not tasted jo? the purest joy of life. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He taught them that the purpose of a man is to make his life holy--every aspect of his life: eating, drinking praying, sleeping. God is everywhere, he told them, and if it seems at times that He is hidden from us, it is only because we have not yet learned to seek Him correctly. Chaim Potok
You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever... Jane Austen
I have not yet lost a feeling of wonder, and of delight, that the delicate motion should reside in all the things around us, revealing itself only to him who looks for it. Edmund Burke
Alan Moore quote: "Our masters have not heard the people's voice for generations..."
Our masters have not heard the people's voice for generations and it is much, much louder than they care to remember. Alan Moore
For the error bred in the bone. Of each woman and each man. Craves what it cannot have, Not universal love. But to be loved alone. W. H. Auden
I verily believe all that is desirable on earth--wealth, reputation, love--will for ever to you be the ripe grapes on the high trellis: you'll look up at them; they will tantalize in you the lust of the eye; but they are out of reach: you have not the address to fetch a ladder, and you'll go away calling them sour. Charlotte Bronte
