Pops Quotes (page 9)

Don DeLillo quote: "Before pop art, there was such a thing as bad taste. Now..."
Before pop art, there was such a thing as bad taste. Now there's kitsch, schlock, camp, and porn. Don DeLillo
Haruki Murakami quote: "I love pop culture -- the Rolling Stones, the Doors, David..."
I love pop culture -- the Rolling Stones, the Doors, David Lynch, things like that. That's why I said I don't like elitism. Haruki Murakami
I wrote this [Most Kings] before MJ died, and his death only proves my point: When he was alive, the King of Pop, people were tireless in taking him down, accepting as truth every accusation people made against him, assuming the worst until they drove him away. When he died, suddenly he was beloved again - people realized that the charges against him might really have been bogus, and that the skin lightening was really caused by a disease, and that his weirdness was part of his artistry. But... Jay-Z
There is a British pop group called God. At a recent book signing the lead singer introduced himself and gave me a cassette. I have heard the voice of God. J. G. Ballard
Fritz was standing there, four feet back from the door to the office, which was standing open, staring wide-eyed at me. When he saw I was looking at him he beckoned me to come, and the thought popped into my mind that, with guests present and Wolfe making an oration, that was precisely how Fritz would act if the house was on fire. Rex Stout
I looked over at him. "Is that a proposal?"There was total silence for a couple beats. "I'm not sure. It just popped out."Let me know when you're sure."Would you say yes?" Morelli asked."I'm not sure. Janet Evanovich
P. G. Wodehouse quote: "As Shakespeare says, if you're going to do a thing you might..."
As Shakespeare says, if you're going to do a thing you might as well pop right at it and get it over. P. G. Wodehouse
All we know, Midnight. The best of all we know. For Chestry Valley and its master we loved. For Nana. For Sugarloaf and Brimstone Farm. For Pop and Mom and Tom. For the foals to come. For yesterday and for all tomorrows, we dance the best we know. For good-by. Kate Seredy
On the other hand, surely what a man does when he is taken off his guard is the best evidence for what sort of a man he is? Surely what pops out before the man has time to put on a disguise is the truth? If there are rats in a cellar you are most likely to see them if you go in very suddenly. But the suddenness does not create the rats: it only prevents them from hiding. In the same way the suddenness of the provocation does not make me an ill-tempered man: it only shows me what an... C. S. Lewis
Send anyone claiming that their RPG activity is an art form my way, and I'll gladly stick a pin in their head and deflate it just to have the satisfaction of the popping sound that makes. One might play a game artfully, but that makes neither the game nor its play art. Gary Gygax
We have all lived through that shriveling moment when a parent walks into a room and repeats, with sardonic disbelief, a couplet picked up from the stereo or the TV. 'What does that mean, then?' my mother asked me during Top of the Pops. "Get it on / Bang a gong"? How long did it take him to think of that, do you reckon?' And the correct answer - 'Two seconds, and it doesn't matter' - is always beyond you, so you just tell her to shut up, while inside you're hating Marc Bolan for making you... Nick Hornby
Gustave Flaubert quote: "It is splendid to be a great writer, to put men into the..."
It is splendid to be a great writer, to put men into the frying pan of your imagination and make them pop like chestnuts. Gustave Flaubert
Tell the story that's been growing in your heart, the characters you can't keep out of your head, the tale story that speaks to you, that pops into your head during your daily commute, that wakes you up in the morning. Jennifer Weiner
Love this description of minor character, Lou Zicutto: "Lou was branch claims manager of the mammoth insurance company where Decker worked part-time as an investigator. Lou was a spindly little twit, maybe a hundred twenty pounds, but he had a huge florid head, which he shaved every day. As a result he looked very much like a Tootsie Pop with lips. Carl Hiaasen
Charlaine Harris quote: "This was an unpleasant trend. I didn’t want a lot of guys..."
This was an unpleasant trend. I didn’t want a lot of guys popping in and out of my bedroom. I wanted one who would stay. Charlaine Harris
