It takes much longer to leave the psychic place than the physical place." (p.120) Jeanette Winterson
As much as I want you and want to be with you and part of you, I can't tear myself away from the realness of my responsibilities. If you force me, physically or mentally, to go with you, as I said earlier, I cannot fight that. I don't have the strength, given my feelings for you. In spite of what I said about not taking the road away from you, I'd go because of my own selfish wanting of you. But please don't make me. Don't make me give this up, my responsibilities. I cannot do that and live... Robert James Waller
Och, stop being so sensitive, Prentice; it isn't much fun getting old. One of the few pleasures that do come your way is to speak your mind... Certainly annoying your relatives is enjoyable too, but I expected better of you. Iain Banks
Haruki Murakami quote: "If sympathy was all it took to clean up shit, I'd have 50..."
If sympathy was all it took to clean up shit, I'd have 50 times as much sympathy as anybody else Haruki Murakami
I will never get over being thankful to them; I hope that you never get over being thankful to them. I hope that we will always remember them....Let us read again and again, and read to our children or our children's children, the accounts of those who suffered so much. Gordon B. Hinckley
I don't see how being married could be any worse than listening to you talk for twenty years, but that still ain't much of a recommendation for it. Larry McMurtry
I'm as big as snob as they come, but money is a terrible barometer of a person's worth. The standard I used is what a person is choosing to do with his life. So for me a struggling musician (someone dedicated to their craft, not some slacker) is much better than some lame investment banker. And the fact that she lied seemed like she was ashamed. She dismissed my anger as if I were overreacting. Harvey Pekar
As I walk the word 'gruel', which I have always liked so much, just won't leave my mind, the word 'lusty' as well. Finding a connection between the two words becomes torture. To walk lustily works, and to spoon a thin gruel with a ladle also works, but 'gruel' and 'lusty' together does not work. Werner Herzog
To love mankind for the sake of God-that has been the most nobel and far-fetched feeling yet achieved by human beings. The idea that without some sanctifying ulterior motive, a love of mankind is just one more brutish stupidity, that the predisposition to such a love must first find its weight, its refinement, its grain of salt and pinch of ambergris in another even higher predisposition-whoever first felt and 'witnessed' this, and however much his tongue may have stuttered in attempting to... Friedrich Nietzsche
I fail to see where it would have been more uplifting for them to have been inside a church listening to a man urging them to 'contemplate the sufferings of our Lord,' which is just another way of punishing one's self for nothing. It is very much better for them to climb the rocks in their bare clean feet and meet Him face to face in their search for the eternal in beauty. Zora Neale Hurston
Bob Dylan quote: "It's very tiring having other people tell you how much they..."
It's very tiring having other people tell you how much they dig you if you yourself don't dig you. Bob Dylan
Alan Moore quote: "With so much chaos, someone will do something stupid. And when..."
With so much chaos, someone will do something stupid. And when they do, things will turn nasty Alan Moore
Sylvia Plath quote: "I know pretty much what I like and dislike; but please, don't..."
I know pretty much what I like and dislike; but please, don't ask me who I am. Sylvia Plath
Who says great literatue has to be written by men? Who says great literature has to be about scary, creepy stuff like adulterers being punished and black slaves breaking loose and giant whales eating people? Why can't literature just be stories about women? Refined, respectable women have just as much to say as ignorant black slaves or bloodthirsty Indians or mad white whaling captains. Why do we have to pretend those people's lives matter more than our own? A. Whitney Brown
Rachel Maddow quote: "Clearly, there has been a lack of imagination about how much..."
Clearly, there has been a lack of imagination about how much can go wrong. Rachel Maddow
