Rightful Quotes (page 270)

All the world complain now a days of a press of trivial duties & engagements which prevents their employing themselves on some higher ground they know of, - but undoubtedly if they were made of the right stuff to work on that higher ground, provided they were released from all those engagements - they would now at once fulfill the superior engagement, and neglect all the rest, as naturally as they breathe. They would never be caught saying that they had no time for this when the dullest man... Henry David Thoreau
George Orwell quote: "History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present..."
History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. George Orwell

The female mind is capable of understanding analytic geometry... The difficulty may just be that we have never yet discovered a way to communicate with the female mind. If it is done in the right way, you may be able to get something out of it. Richard P. Feynman
I'm not saying you did the wrong thing. I'm not even saying it wasn't something I'd thought of doing, myself. But even if it was the just thing to do, or the fitting thing, it still wasn't the right thing. Jodi Picoult
Because things like this you can only ssay once. And you either get it wrong or right, it's the end either way, because it's too hard to ever try to say again. Stephen King
The corporations that profit from permanent war need us to be afraid. Fear stops us from objecting to government spending on a bloated military. Fear means we will not ask unpleasant questions of those in power. Fear permits the government to operate in secret. Fear means we are willing to give up our rights and liberties for promises of security. The imposition of fear ensures that the corporations that wrecked the country cannot be challenged. Fear keeps us penned in like livestock. Chris Hedges
Johnny Cash quote: "Beneath the stains of time the feeling disappears, you are..."
Beneath the stains of time the feeling disappears, you are someone else I am still right here. Johnny Cash
I marvel again at the nakedness of men's lives: the showers right out in the open, the body exposed for inspection and comparison, the public display of privates. What is it for? What purposes of reassurance does it serve? The flashing of a badge, look, everyone, all is in order, I belong here. Why don't women have to prove to one another that they are women? Some form of unbuttoning, some split-crotch routine, just as casual. A doglike sniffing. Margaret Atwood
You know what I'd really like to do the most right now? Climb up to the top of some high place like the pyramids. The highest place I can find. Where you can see forever. Stand on the very top, look all around the world, see all the scenery, and see with my own eyes what's been lost from the world. Haruki Murakami

At Hartford or New Haven or one of those other places where no one in their right fucking mind would want to live. Stephen King
Diana Wynne Jones quote: "You've no right to walk into people's castles and take their..."
You've no right to walk into people's castles and take their guitars. Diana Wynne Jones
