I cannot conceive why people will always mix up my own character and opinions with those of the imaginary beings which, as a poet, I have the right and liberty to draw. George Byron
They are very large in effect, these painters; very little self-conscious; they have smooth broad spaces in their minds where I am all prickles & promontories. Virginia Woolf

(…) But there is one way in this country in which all men are created equal (…) that institution, gentlemen, is a court. It can be the Supreme Court or the United States or the humblest J.P. court in the land, or this honorable court which you serve. Out courts have their faults, as does any human institution, but in this country our courts are the great levelers, and in our courts all men are created equal Harper Lee
Some things are governed by common sense. Putting buttons on the front of a shirt is a matter of logic, since it would be very difficult to button them up at the side, and impossible if they were at the back. “Other things, however, become fixed because more and more people believe that’s the way they should be. I’ll give you two examples. Have you ever wondered why the keys on a typewriter are arranged in that particular order? Paulo Coelho
Paul said, 'You always had some contempt for me.''Yes.''And love too.''Yes.' A flicker over her stare was the facial equivalent of a shrug. 'Now you have a wife to give you both. Shirley Hazzard
It was nice not having to be the one in control, for a little while. It was nice to be the one who was protected, instead of the one who'd been protecting eveyone else. Jodi Picoult
he's filled with a sense of childish release, the old feeling that because you are sick, all your trials and obligations have been suspended. Michael Cunningham
if you don't have doubts you're either kidding yourself or asleep. Doubts are the ants-in-the-pants of faith. They keep it alive and moving. Frederick Buechner
Vladimir Nabokov quote: "Oh, my Lolita, I have only words to play with!"
Oh, my Lolita, I have only words to play with! Vladimir Nabokov
And in fact you're not like everyone else: you weren't ashamed just now to confess bad and even ridiculous things about yourself. Who would confess such things nowadays? No one, and people have even stopped feeling any need for self-judgment. Fyodor Dostoevsky
My, how foolish I am! You know what I've always thought? I've always thought a body would have to be sick and dying before they saw the Lord. And I imagined that when He came it would be like looking at the Baptist window: pretty as colored glass with the sun pouring through, such a shine you don't know it's getting dark. And it's been a comfort: to think of that shine taking away all the spooky feeling. But I'll wager it never happens. I'll wager at the very end a body realizes the Lord has... Truman Capote
