Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle. Who knows? George R. R. Martin
The difficulty in the way of writing a children's play is that Barrie was born too soon. Many people must have felt the same about Shakespeare. We who came later have no chance. What fun to have been Adam, and to have had the whole world of plots and jokes and stories at one's disposal. A. A. Milne
It seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between two conflicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas...If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you? On the other hand, if you are open to the point of gullibility and have not an ounce of skeptical sense in you, then you cannot distinguish the useful ideas from the worthless ones. Carl Sagan
Now we allow that life begins with conception, because we contend that the soul also begins from conception; life taking its commencement at the same moment and place that the soul does. Tertullian
I was shown into a room. A red room. Red wallpaper, red curtains, red carpet. They said it was a sitting-room, but I don’t know why they’d decided to confine its purpose just to sitting. Obviously, sitting was one of the things you could do in a room this size; but you could also stage operas, hold cycling races, and have an absolutely cracking game of frisbee, all at the same time, without having to move any of the furniture. It could rain in a room this big. Hugh Laurie
Henry Miller quote: "Every time you come to the limit of what is demanded of you,..."
Every time you come to the limit of what is demanded of you, you are faced with the same problem-to be yourself! Henry Miller
as a lobbyist he had long ago concluded there was no difference in how Democrats and Republicans conducted the business of government. The game stayed the same: It was always about favors and friends, and who controlled the dough. Party labels were merely a way to keep track of the teams; issues were mostly smoke and vaudeville. Nobody believed in anything except hanging on to power, whatever it took. ..... Carl Hiaasen
But in reality (not in the dreams), with the horror came the inconsolable grief. For the world had broken in pieces and Psyche and I were not in the same piece. Seas, mountains, madness, death itself, could not have removed her from me to such a hopeless distance as this. C. S. Lewis
Gabriel Garcia Marquez quote: "Look at the air, listen to the buzzing of the sun, the same as..."
Look at the air, listen to the buzzing of the sun, the same as yesterday and the day before. Today is Monday too. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Unlimited power is the ideal thing when it is in safe hands. The despotism of heaven is the one absolutely perfect government, and earthly despotism would be the absolute perfect earthly government if the conditions were the same; namely the despot the perfectest individual of the human race, and his lease of life perpetual; but as a perishable, perfect man must die and leave his despotism in the hands of an imperfect successor, an earthly despotism is not merely a bad form of government, it... Mark Twain
Robert Fulghum quote: "Just when you thought that you already learned the way how to..."
Just when you thought that you already learned the way how to live, life changes - and you're left the same as you begun. Robert Fulghum
Emily Bronte quote: "Now, my bonny lad, you are mine! And we’ll see if one tree..."
Now, my bonny lad, you are mine! And we’ll see if one tree won’t grow as crooked as another, with the same wind to twist it! Emily Bronte
Lewis Carroll quote: "But if I’m not the same, the next question is, ‘Who in the..."
But if I’m not the same, the next question is, ‘Who in the world am I?’ Ah, that’s the great puzzle! Lewis Carroll
We are not where we are, he nds, but in a false position. Through an inrmity of our natures, we suppose a case, and put ourselves into it, and hence are in two cases at the same time, and it is doubly difcult to get out Paul Auster
