Even a good place gets to be a rut, especially if you're standing in it alone... Alone and lonely have the same root. Nora Roberts
Love is only a feeling of curiousity more or less intense, grafted upon the inclination placed in us by nature that the species may be preserved. Giacomo Casanova

The chiefest sanctity of a temple is that it is a place to which men go to weep in common. Miguel de Unamuno

They were different places in that same relationship, and like anything that's out of alignment, they were destined to crash sooner or later. Jodi Picoult
For some, the past is a chain, each day a link, raveling backward to one ringbolt or another, in one dark place or another, and tomorrow is a slave to yesterday. Dean Koontz
You never teach a subject, you always teach a child. You teach children in a way that they will learn, and then things will fall in place for them. Dorothy Height
What we consume now is not objects or events, but our experience of them. Just as we never need to leave our cars, so we never need to leave our own skulls. The experience is already out there, as ready-made as a pizza, as bluntly objective as a boulder, and all we need to do is receive it. It is as though there is an experience hanging in the air, waiting for a human subject to come alone and have it. Niagara Falls, Dublin Castle and the Great Wall of China do our experiencing for us. ... Terry Eagleton
Jodi Picoult quote: "In this new place we've found, sometimes there aren't words,..."
In this new place we've found, sometimes there aren't words, because the truth can be even more difficult than the lies. Jodi Picoult
I see the terrifying spaces of the universe that enclose me, and I find myself attached to a corner of this vast expanse, without knowing why I am more in this place than in another, nor why this little time that is given me to live is assigned me at this point more than another out of all the eternity that has preceded me and out of all that will follow me.

He'd always known that the world was an interesting place, and his imagination had peopled it with pirates and bandits and spies and astronauts and similar.

It doesn't matter how obscure or arcane or esoteric your place of publication may be: some sweet law ensures that the person who should be scrutinizing your work eventually does do so. Christopher Hitchens
The first right on earth is the right of the ego. Man's first duty is to himself. His moral law is never to place his prime goal within the persons of others. His moral obligation is to do what he wishes, provided his wish does not depend primarily upon other men. Ayn Rand
I hate nature. I really do. Nature is composed entirely of sticks, dirt, fall-down places, biting and stinging things, and savageries too numerous to list. And I'm not the only one who feels this way. Man has been building cities since the year oughty-ought, just to get away from this stuff. Sue Grafton
Beyond this place of wrath and tears, looms but the horror of the shade. And yet the menace of the years finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul. William Ernest Henley
