Ayn Rand quote: "You know, I think that only if one feels immensely important..."
You know, I think that only if one feels immensely important can one feel truly light. Ayn Rand
The common prejudice that love is as common as "romance" may be due to the fact that we all learned about it first through poetry. But the poets fool us; they are the only ones to whom love is not only a crucial, but an indispensable experience, which entitles them to mistake it for a universal one. Hannah Arendt
I see that I've become a really bad correspondent. It's not that I don't think of you. You come into my thoughts often. But when you do it appears to me that I owe you a particularly grand letter. And so you end in the "warehouse of good intentions": "Can't do it now." "Then put it on hold."

Saul Bellow
So to the wretched writer I should like to say that there’s one body only whose request for your caresses is not vulgar, is not unchaste, untoward, or impolite: the body of your work itself; for you must remember that your attentions will not merely celebrate a beauty but create one; that yours is love that brings it own birth with it, just as Plato has declared, and that you should therefore give up the blue things of this world in favor of the words which say them William Gass
The female mind is certainly a devious one, my lord." Vetinari looked at his secretary in surprise. "Well, of course it is. It has to deal with the male one. Terry Prachett
There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive. This ecstasy, this forgetfulness of living, comes to the artist, caught up and out of himself in a sheet of flame; it comes to the soldier, war-mad in a stricken field and refusing quarter; and it came to Buck, leading the pack, sounding the old wolf-cry, straining after... Jack London
There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly. Woody Allen
Robert Louis Stevenson quote: "I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to..."
I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in. Robert Louis Stevenson
And he writhed inside at what seemed the cruelty and unfairness of the demand. He had not yet learned that if you do one good deed your reward usually is to do another and harder and better one. C. S. Lewis
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. Helen Keller
When you are with everyone but me, you're with no one. When you are with no one but me, you're with everyone. Instead of being so bound up with everyone, be everyone. When youbecome that many, you're nothing. Empty. Rumi
Terry Prachett quote: "The moments that change your life are the ones that happen..."
The moments that change your life are the ones that happen suddenly, like the one where you die. Terry Prachett
I'm walking through the city. Like a drunk, but not. With my slip showing a little. Like a drunk, but not. And I am one of your people. But the cars don't stop. And I am one of your people. But the cars don't stop Regina Spektor
We live through myriads of seconds, yet it is always one, just one, that casts our entire inner world into turmoil, the second when (as Stendhal has described it) the internal inflorescence, already steeped in every kind of fluid, condenses and crystallizes—a magical second, like the moment of generation, and like that moment concealed in the warm interior of the individual life, invisible, untouchable, beyond the reach of feeling, a secret experienced alone. No algebra of the mind can... Stefan Zweig
H. G. Wells quote: "This is day one of year one of the new epoch, -- the Epoch of..."
This is day one of year one of the new epoch, -- the Epoch of the Invisible Man. I am Invisible Man the First. H. G. Wells
