So according to Henry booze come to be sort of holy to him and with faith like that John grew up religious as a deacon. Ken Kesey
Jodi Picoult quote: "Time is an optical illusion- never quite as soild or strong as..."
Time is an optical illusion- never quite as soild or strong as we think it is Jodi Picoult

I had the feeling that some horrible image was just beyond the field of vision, moving, as I turned my head, so that I never quite saw it. William S. Burroughs
Happy," I muttered, trying to pin the word down. But it is one of those words, like Love, that I have never quite understood. Most people who deal in words don’t have much faith in them and I am no exception – especially the big ones like Happy and Love and Honest and Strong. They are too elusive and far to relative when you compare them to sharp, mean little words like Punk and Cheap and Phony. I feel at home with these, because they’re scrawny and easy to pin, but the big ones are tough and... Hunter S. Thompson
But you ain't part of it, are you?" said Granny conversationally. "You try, but you always find yourself watchin' yourself watchin' people, eh? Never quite believin' anything? Thinkin' the wrong thoughts? Terry Prachett
Then when dusk began to settle he would retrace his steps, back to his own world. And on the way home, a loneliness would always claim his heart. He could never quite get a grip on what it was. It just seemed that whatever lay waiting "out there" was all too vast, too overwhelming for him to possibly ever make a dent in. Haruki Murakami
Somehow, something always happens just before things get to the very worst. It is as if Magic did it. If I could only just remember that always. The worse thing never quite comes. Frances Hodgson Burnett
It was important, Dumbledore said, to fight, and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then could evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated. . . . J. K. Rowling
Alain de Botton quote: "Dreams reveal we never quite get 'over' anything: it's all..."
Dreams reveal we never quite get 'over' anything: it's all still in there somewhere. Alain de Botton
But because me and myself, as you no doubt are well aware, we are going to die, my relation—and yours too—to the event of this text, which otherwise never quite makes it, our relation is that of a structurally posthumous necessity.
