In the name of The Lord Jesus Christ,... Francis Schaeffer
There is, I am sensible, an age at which every individual of you would choose to stop; and you will look out for the age at which, had you your wish, your species had stopped. Uneasy at your present condition for reasons which threaten your unhappy posterity with still greater uneasiness, you will perhaps wish it were in your power to go back; and this sentiment ought to be considered, as the panegyric of your first parents, the condemnation of you contemporaries, and a source of terror to... Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Diana Wynne Jones quote: "I'm going to bed, where I may die."
I'm going to bed, where I may die. Diana Wynne Jones

Cheshire Cat: If I were looking for a white rabbit, I'd ask the Mad Hatter. Alice: The Mad Hatter? Oh, no no no... Cheshire Cat: Or, you could ask the March Hare, in that direction. Alice: Oh, thank you. I think I'll see him... Cheshire Cat: Of course, he's mad, too. Alice: But I don't want to go among mad people. Cheshire Cat: Oh, you can't help that. Most everyone's mad here. [laughs maniacally; starts to disappear] Cheshire Cat: You may have noticed that I'm not all there myself. Lewis Carroll
Nothing, I suppose, exasperates a woman more than the sexual desire for her of a man who is physically repellent to her, and when, to put it bluntly, he will not take no for an answer, she may very well come to hate him. W. Somerset Maugham
David Baldacci quote: "It's hard, Cotton. To let yourself love something you know you..."
It's hard, Cotton. To let yourself love something you know you may never have. David Baldacci
Whatever we may think or affect to think of the present age, we cannot get out of it; we must suffer with its sufferings, and enjoy with its enjoyments; we must share in its lot, and, to be either useful or at ease, we must even partake its character. John Stuart Mill
Richard Russo quote: "Life may be a grand folly, as you say, but it is harder to..."
Life may be a grand folly, as you say, but it is harder to appriciate the joke when you're always the butt of it. Richard Russo
Every skull-cap may dream of the tiara. The priest is nowadays the only man who can become a king in a regular manner; and what a king! the supreme king. Victor Hugo
Paradoxical as it may seem, the purposeful life has no content, no point. It hurries on and on, and misses everything. Not hurrying, the purposeless life misses nothing, for it is only when there is no goal and no rush that the human senses are fully open to receive the world. Alan Watts
The universe (he said) offers a paradox too great for the finite mind to grasp. As the living brain cannot conceive of a nonliving brain? although it may think it can? the finite mind cannot grasp the infinite. Stephen King
Khalil Gibran quote: "You may give them your love but not your thoughts,"
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, Khalil Gibran
...Just be advised, boys,' she said, 'you'll want to watch your step, 'cause what I am is, is like a small-diameter pearl of the Orient rolling around on the floor of late capitalism-- lowlifes of all income levels may step on me now and then but if they do it'll be them who slip and fall and on a good day break their ass, while the ol' pearl herself just goes a-rollin' on. Thomas Pynchon
Chris Colfer quote: "A flame may love a snowflake, but they can never be together..."
A flame may love a snowflake, but they can never be together without each harming the other. Chris Colfer
