I was neat, clean, shaved and sober and I didn't care who knew it. Raymond Chandler
Bill Hicks quote: "I'm tired of this back-slappin' "isn't humanity neat"..."
I'm tired of this back-slappin' "isn't humanity neat" bullshit. We're a virus with shoes. Bill Hicks
I need but say that my most vivid impression in that respect was a mere trifle: one day, on Million Street in St. Petersburg, a truck packed with jolly rioters made a clumsy but accurate swerve so as to deliberately squash a passing cat which remained lying there, as a perfectly flat, neatly ironed, black rag (only the tail still belonged to a cat -- it stood upright, and the tip, I think, still moved). At the time this struck me with some deep occult meaning, but I have since have occasion... Vladimir Nabokov
It is not easy to convey, unless one has experienced it, the dramatic feeling of sudden enlightenment that floods the mind when the right idea finally clicks into place. One immediately sees how many previously puzzling facts are neatly explained by the new hypothesis. One could kick oneself for not having the idea earlier, it now seems so obvious. Yet before, everything was in a fog. Francis Crick
One day we'll sit and you'll lay it out on the table, neat like a solitaire deck, but now - why, you can't find all the cards. John Steinbeck
Her nerves gathered together so quickly, Gennie nearly dropped the five pounds of briquettes on the ground. When she'd finished being exasperated with herself, she laughed and poured a neat pile of charcoal into the barbecue pit. So this was the coolly sophisticated Genvieve Grandeau, she thought wryly; established member of the art world and genteel New Orleans society, about to drop five pounds of charcoal on her toes because a rude man was going to have dinner with her. How the mighty have... Nora Roberts
One always dies too soon — or too late. And yet one’s whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are — your life, and nothing else. Jean-Paul Sartre
I guess they needed a maze in Japan, where everything's neat and tidy. In America everybody's already wandering around lost. Jonathan Lethem
...that's the way to tell a true story from a made-up one. A made-up story always has a neat and tidy end. But true stories don't end, at least until their heroes and heroines die, and not then really because the things they did and didn't do, sometimes live on. Elspeth Huxley
Deepak Chopra quote: "Your mind is the knife that cuts the continuum of space and..."
Your mind is the knife that cuts the continuum of space and time into neat slices of linear experience. Deepak Chopra
Henry Kissinger. How I'm missing yer. You're the Doctor of my dreams. With your crinkly hair and your glassy stare. And your Machiavellian schemes. I know they say that you are very vain. And short and fat and pushy. But at least you're not insane. Henry Kissinger. How I'm missing yer. And wishing you were here. Henry Kissinger. How I'm missing yer. You're so chubby and so neat. With your funny clothes and your squishy nose. You're like a German parakeet. All right so people say that you... Graham Chapman
Raymond Chandler quote: "I was neat, clean, shaved and sober, and I didn't care who..."
I was neat, clean, shaved and sober, and I didn't care who knew it.-Phillip Marlowe Raymond Chandler
... And drinking neat liquor from the bottle, with all my long hair and my shirt undone and my beads, not so much the lizard king, more a gecko duchess, I fitted in nicely with their idea of what a creative person should be. Russell Brand
I had not seen "Pride and Prejudice," till I read that sentence of yours, and then I got the book. And what did I find? An accurate daguerreotyped portrait of a common-place face; a carefully fenced, highly cultivated garden, with neat borders and delicate flowers; but no glance of a bright, vivid physiognomy, no open country, no fresh air, no blue hill, no bonny beck. I should hardly like to live with her ladies and gentlemen, in their elegant but confined houses. Charlotte Bronte
Sex will never be simple or nice in the ways we might like it to be, It is not fundamentally democratic or kind; it is bound up with cruelty, transgression and the desire for subjugation and humiliation. It refuses to sit neatly on top of love, as it should. Alain de Botton
