We are underbred and low-lived and illiterate; and in this respect I confess I do not make any very broad distinction between the illiterateness of my townsmen who cannot read at all, and the illiterateness of him who has learned to read only what is for children and feeble intellects. Henry David Thoreau
So what indeed! The lesson I myself learned over and over again when teaching at the college and then the prison was the uselessness of information to most people, except as entertainment. If facts weren't funny or scary, or couldn't make you rich, the heck with them. Kurt Vonnegut
They make a fuss about Hogsmeade, but I assure you, Harry, it's not all it's cracked up to be. All right, the sweetshop's rather good, and Zonko's Joke Shop's frankly dangerous, and yes, the Shrieking Shack is always worth a visit, but really, Harry, apart from that, you're not missing anything. J. K. Rowling
The touch of an infinite mystery passes over the trivial and the familiar, making it break out into ineffable music... The trees, the stars, and the blue hills ache with a meaning which can never be uttered in words. Rabindranath Tagore
Michel Foucault quote: "I'm no prophet. My job is making windows where there were once..."
I'm no prophet. My job is making windows where there were once walls. Michel Foucault
Taking five or ten or fifteen years to make an album, like Guns N’ Roses did, is just f**king ridiculous, end of story. By that time, your career’s died, been resurrected, and then died again. Ozzy Osbourne
Take courage and confess your sin, says Luther, do not try to run away from it, but believe more boldly still. You are a sinner, so be a sinner, and don't try to become what you are not. Yes, and become a sinner again and again every day, and be bold about it. But to whom can such words be addressed, except to those who from the bottom of their hearts make a daily renunciation of sin and of every barrier which hinders them from following Christ, but who nevertheless are troubled by their... Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Samuel Butler quote: "Books want to be born: I never make them. They come to me and..."
Books want to be born: I never make them. They come to me and insist on being written, and on being such and such. Samuel Butler
With Cosette’s garter, Homer would make the Iliad. He would put into his poem an old babbler like me, and he would call him Nestor. Victor Hugo
It does not make you less of a woman to need a man. To need one to exist, yes, this is nonsense. To need one to give one scope and importance, this is dishonest. But to need a man, one man, to bring joy and passion? This is life Nora Roberts
Girls my age never use the word “fair”. Ordinary girls as young as I am are basically indifferent to whether things are fair or not. The central question for them is not whether something is fair but whether or not it’s beautiful or will make them happy. “Fair” is a man’s word, finally, but I can’t help feeling that it is also exactly the right word for me now. Haruki Murakami
Fear is strange soil. Mainly it grows obedience like corn, which grows in rows and makes weeding easy. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground. Terry Prachett
Nelson Mandela quote: "It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given,..."
It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another. Nelson Mandela
Stephenie Meyer quote: "Edward helped, making faces every so often at the raw..."
Edward helped, making faces every so often at the raw ingredients-human food was mildly repulsive to him. Stephenie Meyer
Terry Prachett quote: "Decided to put aside ethnic differences in the cause of making..."
Decided to put aside ethnic differences in the cause of making more money. Terry Prachett
