How Quotes (page 454)

Existence was bigger than just life. It was everyone's life all together, and even if you lived in Buffalo, New York and had never been more than ten miles from home, you were part of the puzzle, too. It didn't matter how small your life was. Paul Auster
you have to be an artist and a madman, a creature of infinite melancholy, with a bubble of hot poison in your loins and a super-voluptuous flame permanently aglow in your subtle spine (oh, how you have to cringe and hide!), in order to discern at once, by ineffable signs--the slightly feline outline of a cheekbone, the slenderness of a downy limbs, and other indices which despair and shame and tears of tenderness forbid me to tabulate--the little deadly demon among the wholesome children; she... Vladimir Nabokov
Paulo Coelho quote: "Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should..."
Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own. Paulo Coelho
Fear is a healthy instinct, not a sign of weakness. It is a natural self-defense mechanism that is common to felines, wolves, hyenas, and most humans. Even fruit bats know fear, and I salute them for it. If you think the world is weird now, imagine how weird it would be if wild beasts had no fear. Hunter S. Thompson
Laurie, you're an angel! How shall I ever thank you?"Fly at me again. I rather liked it," said Laurie, lookingmischievous, a thing he had not done for a fortnight. Louisa May Alcott
The marriage of reason and nightmare that dominated the 20th century has given birth to an ever more ambiguous world. Across the communications landscape move the spectres of sinister technologies and the dreams that money can buy. Thermo-nuclear weapons systems and soft-drink commercials coexist in an overlit realm ruled by advertising and pseudo-events, science and pornography. Over our lives preside the great twin leitmotifs of the 20th century – sex and paranoia…In a sense, pornography... J. G. Ballard
Umberto Eco quote: "If you want to use television to teach somebody, you must..."
If you want to use television to teach somebody, you must first teachthem how to use television. Umberto Eco

No man is sane who does not know how to be insane on the proper occasions."Henry Ward Beecher Henry Ward Beecher
Over the last few years, my comfort level with how I look has improved. My age has helped. You get used to yourself and accept yourself. Lynn Redgrave
Maugham then offers the greatest advice anyone could give to a young author: "At the end of an interrogation sentence, place a question mark. You'd be surprised how effective it can be. Woody Allen
The forest stretched on seemingly forever with the most monotonous predictability, each tree just like the next - trunk, branches, leaves; trunk, branches, leaves. Of course a tree would have taken a different view of the matter. We all tend to see the way others are alike and how we differ, and it's probably just as well we do, since that prevents a great deal of confusion. But perhaps we should remind ourselves from time to time that ours is a very partial view, and that the world is full... Thomas M. Disch
Gerard Way quote: "So how was Christmas for you guys? Did you all get lots of..."
So how was Christmas for you guys? Did you all get lots of nice black t-shirts? Gerard Way
I do not think much of ages. People are people. What does it matter how old or young they are? It is a category, and I do not like categories. It is a sort of pigeonhole or a label. Louis L'Amour
Haley and I would talk for hours about which member of 'N Sync we'd want to marry. After long deliberation, the answer was always J. C. Chasez. Joey Fatone's last name was going to be “Fat One” no matter how great he was, and even though they didn't know at their age that Lance Bass was gay outright, they sensed he'd make a better good friend and confidante. As for Justin Timberlake, well, JT was the coolest and hottest, but too flashy, so we couldn't trust him to be faithful. J. C. Chasez... Mindy Kaling
I'm afraid that we all make mistakes. One of the things that defines our character is how we handle mistakes. If we lie about having made a mistake, then it can't be corrected and it festers. On the other hand, if we give up just because we made a mistake, even a big mistake, none of us would get far in life. Terry Goodkind
