A guide, on finding a man who has lost his way, brings him back to the right path—he does not mock and jeer at him and then take himself off. You also must show the unlearned man the truth, and you will see that he will follow. But so long as you do not show it him, you should not mock, but rather feel your own incapacity. Epictetus
His toes wriggle in his socks and my first thought is, I want to snip them off with hedge trimmers. Not only does he not deserve to wriggle his toes, he does not deserve to have toes. He deserves to gave stumps. He cannot be trusted with toes because they enable him to walk and thus seek out the company of crack dealers. Kathy Bates's character completed understood this concept in Misery. Augusten Burroughs
I saw the gooseflesh on my skin. I did not know what made it. I was not cold. Had a ghost passed over? No, it was the poetry. A spark flew off Arnold and shook me, like a chill. I wanted to cry; I felt very odd. I had fallen into a new way of being happy. Sylvia Plath
Charlotte Bronte quote: "Shake me off, then, sir--push me away; for I'll not leave you..."
Shake me off, then, sir--push me away; for I'll not leave you of my own accord. Charlotte Bronte
But I'm three times your age or more and my brain is worn out and full up. I don't have much room to tuck new things square inside; they just cling to the outside for a while and drop off. Orson Scott Card
Benjamin Franklin quote: "Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today."
Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Benjamin Franklin
If you are a writer, or want to be a writer, this is how you spend your days--listening, observing, storing things away, making your isolation pay off. You take home all you've taken in, all that you've overheard, and you turn it into gold. (Or at least you try.) Anne Lamott
Robert Penn Warren quote: "She lifted her sewing and bit off the thread in the way women..."
She lifted her sewing and bit off the thread in the way women do to make your flesh crawl. Robert Penn Warren
William Shakespeare quote: "I like your silence, it the more shows off your wonder."
I like your silence, it the more shows off your wonder. William Shakespeare
Nick Hornby quote: "Sitting at the table with the kids, and being told off like a..."
Sitting at the table with the kids, and being told off like a kid, has liberated me; my disenfranchisement has empowered me. Nick Hornby
Jack Kerouac quote: "Ah Japhy you taught me the final lesson of them all, you can't..."
Ah Japhy you taught me the final lesson of them all, you can't fall off a mountain. Jack Kerouac
We should cease to talk about vague and unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living standards, and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are then hampered by idealistic slogans, the better. George F. Kennan
Emperors, kings, artisians, peasens, big people---at the bottom we are all alike and all the same; all just alike on the inside, and when our clothes are off, nobody can tell which of us is which. Mark Twain
Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins? or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom? Lucifer. Saul Alinsky
They say that every snowflake is different. If that were true, how could the world go on? How could we ever get up off our knees? How could we ever recover from the wonder of it? By forgetting. We cannot keep in mind too many things. There is only the present and nothing to remember. Jeanette Winterson
