The cities swept about me like dead leaves, leaves that were brightly colored but torn away from the branches. I would have stopped, but I was pursued by something. It always came upon me unawares, taking me altogether by surprise. Perhaps it was a familiar bit of music. Perhaps it was only a piece of transparent glass. Tennessee Williams
Amy Tan quote: "For unlike my mother, I did not believe I could be anything I..."
For unlike my mother, I did not believe I could be anything I wanted to be. I could only be me. Amy Tan
When you lose your face..., it is like dropping your necklace down a well. The only way you can get it back is to fall in after it. Amy Tan
Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something- and it is only such love that can know freedom. Jiddu Krishnamurti
- Actually,- observed Lucette, wiping the long envelope which a drop of soda had stained,- Bergson is only for very young people or very unhappy people, such as this available rousse. Vladimir Nabokov
Jose Saramago quote: "Words that come from the heart are never spoken, they get..."
Words that come from the heart are never spoken, they get caught in the throat and can only be read in ones's eyes. Jose Saramago
Billy Corgan quote: "Thinking about the future and thinking about the past is..."
Thinking about the future and thinking about the past is really only a way of ignoring the present. Billy Corgan
Louis L'Amour quote: "To a fool time brings only age not wisdom."
To a fool time brings only age not wisdom. Louis L'Amour
If people do not believe in permanent marriage, it is perhaps better that they should live together unmarried than that they should make vows they do not mean to keep. It is true that by living together without marriage they will be guilty (in Christian eyes) of fornication. But one fault is not mended by adding another; unchastity is not improved by adding perjury. The idea that 'being in love' is the only reason for remaining married really leaves no room for marriage as a contract or... C. S. Lewis
And then, at night, the lit lamp and the drawn curtain, with the flutter of the turned page and soft scrape of pen on paper the only sounds to break the silence between quarter- and quarter-chime. Dorothy L. Sayers
Many people are unhappy and are not experiencing life to its fullest because they’ve closed their hearts to compassion, they are motivated by only what they want and what they think they need. They rarely do anything for anybody else unless they have an ulterior goal in mind. They are self-involved and self-centered. Joel Osteen
The only funny part about Colonial Dunsboro is maybe it's too authentic, but for all the wrong reasons. This whole crowd of losers and nutcases who hide out here because they can't make it in the real world, in real jobs? isn't this why we left England in the first place? To establish our own alternate reality. Weren't the Pilgrims pretty much the crackpots of their time? For sure, instead of just wanting to believe something different about God's love, the losers I work with want to find... Chuck Palahniuk
Mario Vargas Llosa quote: "Science is still only a candle glimmering in a great..."
Science is still only a candle glimmering in a great pitch-dark cavern. Mario Vargas Llosa
Mark Twain quote: "If we would learn what the human race really is at bottom, we..."
If we would learn what the human race really is at bottom, we need only observe it in election times. Mark Twain
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
