His Quotes (page 515)

He was an artist when he saw society: it never crossed his mind that society had to be like this; had any right, had any business being like this. A car in the street. Why? Why cars? This is what an artist has to be: harassed to the point of insanity or stupefaction by first principles. Martin Amis
C. S. Lewis quote: "And the Prince stared at her like a man out of his wits."
And the Prince stared at her like a man out of his wits. C. S. Lewis

He bawled up at the giant, 'Hi! You up there...what's your name?' Giant Rumblebuffin, if you please, your honor... C. S. Lewis
The crowning experience of all, for the homecoming man, is the wonderful feeling that, after all he has suffered, there is nothing he need fear anymore—except his God. Viktor E. Frankl
The eyes were hollow and the carven head was broken, but about the high, stern forehead there was a coronal of silver and gold. A trailing plant with flowers like white stars had bound itself across the brows as if in reverence for the fallen king, and in the crevices of his stony hair yellow stonecrop gleamed."They cannot conquer for ever!" said Frodo.

Man is diminished if he lives without knowledge of his past; without hope of a future he becomes a beast. P. D. James
Every human being on the face of the earth has a steel plate in his head, but if you lie down now and then and get still as you can, it will slide open like elevator doors, letting in all the secret thoughts that have been standing around so patiently, pushing the button for a ride to the top. The real troubles in life happen when those hidden doors stay closed for too long. Sue Monk Kidd
The real issues I don't think most people touch. The Clinton jokes are all about Monica Lewinsky and all that stuff and not about the important things, like the fact that he wouldn't ban landmines...I'm not tempted to write a song about George W. Bush. I couldn't figure out what sort of song I would write. That's the problem: I don't want to satirize George Bush and his puppeteers, I want to vaporize them. And that's not funny....OK, well, if I say that, I might get a shock laugh, but it's... Tom Lehrer

He was well aware that of the two of three thousand times he had made love (how many times had he made love in his life?) only two or three were really essential and unforgettable. The rest were mere echoes, imitations, repetitions, or reminiscences. Milan Kundera
Whatever may be his [man's] true and final destination, there is a spirit within him at enmity with nothingness and dissolution (change and extinction). This is the character of all life and being - each is at once the centre and the circumference; the point to which all things are contained. - "On Life Percy Bysshe Shelley
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our..."
The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hilton Kramer quote: "It was all so long ago and Stalin doesn't matter any more. ..."
It was all so long ago and Stalin doesn't matter any more. Stalin lost his chic before you were born. Sex is always chic. Hilton Kramer
He nodded then cocked his head and gave me a sharp, policeman like look, as though realizing that he had been on the wrong page with me all along. I fell under the heading of Dealing with Assholes. Michael Chabon
