Again I take a taxi to Clichy address, but feel that I do not want to go on loving Henry more actively than he loves me (having realized that nobody will ever love me in that overabundant, overexpressive, overthoughtful, overhuman way I love people), and so I will wait for him. So I ask taxi driver to drop me at the Galeries Lafayette, where I begin to look for a new hat and to shop for Christmas. Pride? I don't know. A kind of wise retreat. I need people too much. So I bury my gigantic... Anais Nin

Egotist , n. - A person of low taste, more interested in himself than in me. Ambrose Bierce
I know this goes without saying, but Stonehenge really was the most incredible accomplishment. It took five hundred men just to pull each sarsen, plus a hundred more to dash around positioning the rollers. Just think about it for a minute. Can you imagine trying to talk six hundred people into helping you drag a fifty-ton stone eighteen miles across the countryside and muscle it into an upright position, and then saying, 'Right, lads! Another twenty like that, plus some lintels and maybe a... Bill Bryson
Looking up at the stars, I know quite well That, for all they care, I can go to hell, But on earth indifference is the least We have to dread from man or beast. How should we like it were stars to burn With a passion for us we could not return? If equal affection cannot be, Let the more loving one be me. Admirer as I think I am Of stars that do not give a damn, I cannot, now I see them, say I missed one terribly all day. Were all stars to disappear or die, I should learn to look at an empty... W. H. Auden
There must be something wrong with those people who think Audrey Hepburn doesn’t perspire, hiccup or sneeze, because they know that’s not true. I n fact, I hiccup more than most. Audrey Hepburn
There are two ways to look at life. The first view is that nothing stays the same and that nothing is inherently connected, and that the only driving force in anyone's life is entropy. The second is that everything pretty much stays the same (more or less) and that everything is completely connected, even if we don't realize it. Chuck Klosterman
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life. Terry Prachett
Thornton Wilder quote: "Even speech was for them was a debased form of silence; how..."
Even speech was for them was a debased form of silence; how much more futile is poetry which is a debased form of speech. Thornton Wilder
Ken Kesey quote: "In any given situation there will always be more dumb people..."
In any given situation there will always be more dumb people than smart people. We ain't many! Ken Kesey
There are some things too dreadful to be revealed, and it is even more dreadful how, in spite of our better instincts, we long to know about them. Barbara Pym
Aren't you afraid you will be damned?' 'I believe I already am, but not by the Holy Spirit,' said Delaura without alarm. 'I have always believed He attributes more importance to love than to faith. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
