Art flies around truth, but with the determination not to get burnt by it. Its skill consists of finding a place in the void where the ray of light focuses more powerfully, without knowing beforehand the location of the light source itself Franz Kafka
My story is important not because it is mine, God knows, but because if I tell it anything like right, the chances are you will recognize that in many ways it is also your? it is precisely through these stories in all their particularity, as I have long believed and often said, that God makes himself known to each of us more powerfully and personally. If this is true, it means that to lose track of our stories is to be profoundly impoverished not only humanly but also spiritually. Frederick Buechner
Everything I do is going to contain the message that men who are going to be comfortable with powerful women are going to be more powerful men. Joss Whedon
The food we were given was no more than eatable, but the patron was not mean about drink; he allowed us two litres of wine a day each, knowing that if a plongeur is not given two litres he will steal three. George Orwell
I become more than ever convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of Hussein, the scrupulous regard for pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers and his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle. Mahatma Gandhi
William Goldman quote: "You could concentrate much more deeply when you were alone..."
You could concentrate much more deeply when you were alone with agony. William Goldman
A kiss, when all is told, what is it? An oath taken a little closer, a promise more exact. A wish that longs to be confirmed, a rosy circle drawn around the verb 'to love'. A kiss is a secret which takes the lips for the ear, a moment of infinity humming like a bee, a communion tasting of flowers, a way of breathing in a little of the heart and tasting a little of the soul with the edge of the lips! Edmond Rostand
... Oh hours of childhood, when behind each shape more than the past appearedand what streamed out before us was not the future. We felt our bodies growing and were at times impatient to be grown up, half for the sakeof those with nothing left but their grownupness. Rainer Maria Rilke
Okay, let’s put it this way. I would like to sleep with you. But it’s alright if I don’t sleep with you. What I’m saying is I’d like to be as fair as possible. I don’t want to force anything on anybody, any more than I’d want anything forced on me. It’s enough that I feel your presence or see your commas swirling around me. Haruki Murakami
You can't love your mother or father if you don't also have the capacity to grieve their deaths and, perhaps even more so, grieve parts of their lives. Glenn Beck
Ira Levin quote: "Anyone who needs more than one suitcase is a tourist, not a..."
Anyone who needs more than one suitcase is a tourist, not a traveler Ira Levin
Do you think that the things people make fools of themselves about are any less real and true than the things they behave sensibly about? They are more true: they are the only things that are true. George Bernard Shaw
It's not necessary to tell all you know. It's not ladylike--in the second place, folks don't like to have somebody around knowin' more than they do. Harper Lee
They knew many things but had no idea why. And strangely this made them more, rather than less, certain that they were right. Neal Stephenson
When you can do that, little Wren, when you can accept the wearing down and the eroding, then you can do anything. How did I manage to keep going out nights? I just told myself I didn’t matter all that much—that those in here mattered more. You know something? It’s not so hard really. You just have to get past the fear. Terry Brooks
