The truth between two people always cuts two ways Diana Wynne Jones
I been watchin' you, workin day and night, slavin so hard you barely have time to catch your breath. People do that for three reasons. Either they crazy, or stupid, or tryin' to forget. Nicholas Sparks
Listen, gods die when they are forgotten. People too. But the land's still here. The good places, and the bad. The land isn't going anywhere. And neither am I. Neil Gaiman
The plane had lost power in all three engines, dropped from thirty-four thousand feet to twelve thousand feet. Something like four miles. When the steep glide began, people rose, fell, collided, swam in their seats. Then the serious screaming and moaning began. Almost immediately a voice from the flight deck was heard on the intercom: "We're falling out of the sky! We're going down! We're a silver gleaming death machine!" This outburst struck the passengers as an all but total breakdown of... Don DeLillo

Writing sometimes feels frivolous and sometimes sacred, but memory is one of my strongest muses. I serve her with my words. So long as people read, those we love survive however evanescently. As do we writers, saying with our life's work, Remember. Remember us. Remember me. Marge Piercy
A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called "leaves") imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles.

Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the... Carl Sagan
Sherman Alexie quote: "Somebody dies and people eat your food. Funny how that works."
Somebody dies and people eat your food. Funny how that works. Sherman Alexie
You don't ask people with knives in their stomachs what would make them happy; happiness is no longer the point. It's all about survival; it's all about whether you pull the knife out and bleed to death or keep it in... Nick Hornby
John Updike quote: "If you have the guts to be yourself, other people'll pay your..."
If you have the guts to be yourself, other people'll pay your price. John Updike
Werner Herzog quote: "Do you not then hear this horrible scream all around you that..."
Do you not then hear this horrible scream all around you that people usually call silence. Werner Herzog
The difference we wanna make is number one to let these kids know that they’re not alone, that they’re actually not that messed up and that they can do whatever they want; they can express themselves however they want, without being persecuted or called a faggot or some kind of racist thing. You know, really just to get people to get over their stuff so they can live. Gerard Way
What people still do not like to admit is that there were two crimes in the form of one. Just as the destruction of Jewry was the necessary condition for the rise and expansion of Nazism, so the ethnic cleansing of Germans was a precondition for the Stalinization of Poland. I first noticed this point when reading an essay by the late Ernest Gellner, who at the end of the war had warned Eastern Europeans that collective punishment of Germans would put them under Stalin's tutelage indefinitely.... Christopher Hitchens
Kurt Cobain quote: "I was tired of pretending that I was someone else just to get..."
I was tired of pretending that I was someone else just to get along with people, just for the sake of having friendships. Kurt Cobain
Joss Whedon quote: "You take people, you put them on a journey, you give them..."
You take people, you put them on a journey, you give them peril, you find out who they really are. Joss Whedon
