From the churches comes the melancholy dirge of the dead Christ, a music which is no more sacred than a rotten turnip. Henry Miller
O Jesus, I could be a mule or plow the furrows with my hands if need be or hold those rickety walls up with my back if need be if I knew that somewhere in this world in the pocket of some night I could open my legs to some cowboy lean hips but you are trying to tell me no and O my sweet Jesus what kind of cross is that?

I think Bonzo died. I dreamed about it last night. I remembered the way he looked after I jammed his face with my head. I think I must have pushed his nose back into his brain. The blood was coming out of his eyes. I think he was dead right then. Orson Scott Card
Stephen King quote: "Black as night and as beautiful as forever."
Black as night and as beautiful as forever. Stephen King
Take the word for it of a man who has made his way inch by inch, and does not believe that we'll wake up to find our work done because we've lain all night a-dreaming of it; anything worth doing is devilish hard to do! Henry James
A billion stars go spinning through the night, / glittering high above your head, / But in you is the presence that will be / when all the stars are dead. Rainer Maria Rilke
Steven Spielberg quote: "I don't dream at night, I dream at day, I dream all day; I'm..."
I don't dream at night, I dream at day, I dream all day; I'm dreaming for living. Steven Spielberg
Places remained and time flowed through them like wind through the grass. Right now. This was the future turning into the past. One thing becoming another. Like a flame on the end of a match. Wood turning into smoke. If only we could burn brighter. A barn roaring in the night. Mark Haddon
