Making Quotes (page 317)

When you make love you're using up energy; and afterwards you feel happy and don't give a damn for anything. They can't bear you to feel like that. They want you to be bursting with energy all the time. All this marching up and down and cheering and waving flags is simply sex gone sour. If you're happy inside yourself, why should you get excited about Big Brother and the Three-Year Plans and the Two Minutes Hate and all the rest of their bloody rot? George Orwell
Allen Ginsberg quote: "Just because I like to suck cock doesn't make me any less..."
Just because I like to suck cock doesn't make me any less American than Jesse Helms. Allen Ginsberg
Rick Moody quote: "[I]t is things that make us happy when conversation begins to..."
[I]t is things that make us happy when conversation begins to reveal itself as a paltry substitute. Rick Moody
Robert Graves quote: "I was thinking, "So, I’m Emperor, am I? What nonsense! But..."
I was thinking, "So, I’m Emperor, am I? What nonsense! But at least I'll be able to make people read my books now. Robert Graves
The Church makes no man less free than he was before. But we chiefly value freedom in order to give it away; every man who loves surrenders his freedom, whether his passion be the love of a woman, the love of a cause, or the love of God. . . Hence: "Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Everyone wants the things that only a love of God will bring to him, but most men today seek them in the wrong places. That is why no one comes to God without a revolution of the spirit; he must stop... Fulton J. Sheen
If someone smells a flower and says he does not understand, the reply to him is: there is nothing to understand, it is only a scent. If he persists, saying: that I know, but what does it all mean? Then one has either to change the subject, or make it more abstruse by saying that the scent is the shape which the universal joy takes in the flower. Rabindranath Tagore
He looked at her defiantly, and she thought: and so one at a time we all become human—human werewolves, human dwarfs, human trolls …the melting pot melts in one direction only, and so we make progress. Terry Prachett
He was a lonely ghost uttering a truth that no one would ever hear. But so long as he uttered it in some obscure way the continuity was not broken. It was not by making yourself heard but by staying sane that you carried on the human heritage. George Orwell
Doesn't our knowledge of death make life more precious?' What good is a preciousness based on fear and anxiety? It's an anxious quivering thing Don DeLillo
Wendy Cope quote: "Write to amuse? What an appalling suggestion! I write to make..."
Write to amuse? What an appalling suggestion! I write to make people anxious and miserable and to worsen their indigestion. Wendy Cope
Any magazine-cover hack can splash paint around wildly and call it a nightmare, or a witches sabbath or a portrait of the devil; but only a great painter can make such a thing really scare or ring true. That's because only a real artist knows the anatomy of the terrible, or the physiology of fear. H. P. Lovecraft
Be sure not to discuss your hero's state of mind. Make it clear from his actions."(Letter to Alexander Chekhov, May 10, 1886) Anton Chekhov
No matter what your age or your life path, whether making art is your career or your hobby or your dream, it is not too late or too egotistical or too selfish or too silly to work on your creativity. Julia Cameron
Stephen King quote: "I'm not making an enemy; I'm keepin' one."
I'm not making an enemy; I'm keepin' one. Stephen King
How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life. Told to others, but—mainly—to ourselves. Julian Barnes
