It had taken Danny some time to realize that the professor enjoyed provoking discussion and argument by offering up outrageous statements to see what reaction he would arouse from his students. Jeffrey Archer

The person who reads too much and uses his brain too little will fall into lazy habits of thinking.. Albert Einstein

I am a soul brother to everything that lives, to the giraffe and to the crocodile as much as to man. Gustave Flaubert
E. B. White quote: "Sometimes a writer, like an acrobat, must try a trick that is..."
Sometimes a writer, like an acrobat, must try a trick that is too much for him. E. B. White
Falling in love, although it resulted in altered body chemistry and was therefore real, was a hormonally induced delusional state, according to him. In addition it was humiliating, because it put you at a disadvantage, it gave the love object too much power. As for sex per se, it lacked both challenge and novelty, and was on the whole a deeply imperfect solution to the problem of intergenerational genetic transfer. Margaret Atwood
The book borrowe? proves himself to be an in venerate collector of books not so much by the fervor with which he guards his borrowed treasure? as by his failure to read these books. Walter Benjamin

Perhaps," said the man, "you would like to be lost with us. I have found it much more agreeable to be lost in the company of others. Kate DiCamillo
For a moment she felt utterly dislocated. She did not know where she was; she was not entirely sure who she was. It is astonishing just how much of what we are can be tied to the needs we wake up in in the morning and it is astonishing how fragile that can be. Neil Gaiman
L. M. Montgomery quote: "I know I chatter on far too much... but if you only knew how..."
I know I chatter on far too much... but if you only knew how many things I want to say and don't. Give me SOME credit. L. M. Montgomery
