War creates no absolutely new situation; it simply aggravates the permanent human situation so that we can no longer ignore it.--"Learning in Wartime C. S. Lewis
A friend is a possession we earn, not a gift. ....The Lord has declared that those who serve him and keep his commandments are called his servants. After they have been tested and tried and are found faithful and true in all things, they are called no longer servants, but friends.

J. M. Coetzee

Do you remember the sight we saw, my soul, that soft summer morning round a turning in the path, the disgusting carcass on a bed scattered with stones, its legs in the air like a woman in need burning its wedding poisons like a fountain with its rhythmic sobs, I could hear it clearly flowing with a long murmuring sound, but I touch my body in vain to find the wound. I am the vampire of my own heart, one of the great outcasts condemned to eternal laughter who can no longer smile. Am I dead? I... Charles Baudelaire

We no longer believe because it is absurd: it is absurd because we must believe. Julio Cortazar
Then she made up her mind. It was absurd to pretend that he did not exist. It no longer hurt her to see him. She opened the door wide and let him into her life again. Steig Larsson
I wondered whether she would consent to sleep with me that night if Pyle never came, but I knew that when I had smoked four pipes I would no longer want her. Graham Greene
GOOD MORNING," said the little prince. "Good Morning," said the salesclerk. This was a salesclerk who sold pills invented to quench thirst. Swallow one a week and you no longer feel any need to drink."Why do you sell these pills?"They save so much time," the salesclerk said. "Experts have calculated that you can save fifty-three minutes a week."And what do you do with those fifty-three minutes?"Whatever you like."If I had fifty-three minutes to spend as I liked," the little prince said to... Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Mr. Blank's old friend is acting up again, and because our hero is no longer wearing the cotton trousers and underpants and is quite naked under the pajama bottoms, there is no barrier to prevent Mr. Bigshot from bounding out through the slit and poking his head into the light of day. Paul Auster
Jean Baudrillard quote: "Hell of simulation, which is no longer one of torture, but of..."
Hell of simulation, which is no longer one of torture, but of subtle, maleficent, elusive twisting of meaning... Jean Baudrillard
I found that things became a lot easier when I no longer expected to win. You abandon your masterpiece and sink into the real masterpiece. Leonard Cohen
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley quote: "But soon, I shall die, and what I now feel be no longer felt...."
But soon, I shall die, and what I now feel be no longer felt. Soon these burning miseries will be extinct. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Romain Gary quote: "All men have a legend because of death. Humanity wasn't..."
All men have a legend because of death. Humanity wasn't legendary any longer: it was a myth. Romain Gary
I am amazed all over again by how magnified this project's importance has become, far beyond its being a play or an artwork. It is now a test of some kind; but of what, precisely? The incommunicability of the Chinese? If I can't claim to know my actors, I know them as well or as little as I would an American cast. I can no longer call up the notion of Chinese mysteriousness. Arthur Miller
