Awareness is everything. Hallie once pointed out to me that people worry a lot more about the eternity *after* their deaths than the eternity that happened before they were born. But it's the same amount of infinity, rolling out in all directions from where we stand. Barbara Kingsolver
Whatever can die is beautiful? more beautiful than a unicorn, who lives forever, and who is the most beautiful creature in the world. Do you understand me? Peter S. Beagle
I would like to carve my novel in a piece of wood. My characters—I would like to have them heavier, more three-dimensional ... My characters have a profession, have characteristics; you know their age, their family situation, and everything. But I try to make each one of those characters heavy, like a statue, and to be the brother of everybody in the world. Georges Simenon
There's a grosser irony about Politically Correct English. This is that PCE purports to be the dialect of progressive reform but is in fact - in its Orwellian substitution of the euphemisms of social equality for social equality itself - of vastly more help to conservatives and the US status quo than traditional SNOOT prescriptions ever were. David Foster Wallace
J. D. Salinger quote: "I know more damn perverts, at schools and all, than anybody..."
I know more damn perverts, at schools and all, than anybody you ever met, and they’re always being perverty when I’m around. J. D. Salinger
This could be a whole life," she thought. "You work eight hours a day covering wires to earn money to buy food and to pay for a place to sleep so that you can keep living to come back to cover more wires. Some people are born and kept living just to come to this... Betty Smith
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "After you find out all the things that can go wrong, your life..."
After you find out all the things that can go wrong, your life becomes less about living and more about waiting. Chuck Palahniuk
You know what? I was wrong. You are an idiot. My life happens to, on occasion, suck beyond the telling of it. Sometimes more than I can handle. And it's not just mine. Every single person down there is ignoring your pain because they're too busy with their own. The beautiful ones. The popular ones. The guys that pick on you. Everyone. If you could hear what they were feeling. The loneliness. The confusion. It looks quiet down there. It's not. It's deafening... You know, I could've taken that... Joss Whedon
I have frequently seen people become neurotic when they content themselves with inadequate or wrong answers to the questions of life. They seek position, marriage, reputation, outward success of money, and remain unhappy and neurotic even when they have attained what they were seeking. Such people are usually confined within too narrow a spiritual horizon. Their life has not sufficient content, sufficient meaning. If they are enabled to develop into more spacious personalities, the... Carl Jung
Rumi quote: "The ground's generosity takes in our compost and grows beauty!..."
The ground's generosity takes in our compost and grows beauty! Try to be more like the ground. Rumi
Furnishing was not a priority in the Citadel. Shelves, stools, tables... There was a rumor among the novices that priests towards the top of the hierarchy had golden furniture, but there was no sign of it here. The room was as severe as anything in the novices' quarters although it had, perhaps, a more opulent severity; it wasn't the forced bareness of poverty, but the starkness of intent. Terry Prachett
Now, you two? this year, you behave yourselves. If I get one more owl telling me you've? you've blown up a toilet or?"Blown up a toilet? We've never blown up a toilet."Great idea though, thanks, Mum. J. K. Rowling
You can’t manage me, Lindsay. I’m more than happy to be the recipient of your persuasive skills, but not if you’ll be pissed off when it doesn’t get you what you want. Sylvia Day
... hoping that if she just walked down the same street fate would whirl her backward in time until she was once more (fill in your age), when the future was something she had not yet stepped into, when it was just an idea, a moment, something that had not disappointed her yet. Alice Hoffman
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "It's more comfortable standing still thinking of nothing."
It's more comfortable standing still thinking of nothing. J. R. R. Tolkien
