I speak and speak,” Marco says, “but the listener retains only the words he is expecting. The description of the world to which you lend a benevolent ear is one thing; the description that will go the rounds of the groups of stevedores and gondoliers on the street outside my house the day of my return is another; and yet another, that which I might dictate late in life, if I were taken prisoner by Genoese pirates and put in irons in the same cell with a writer of adventure stories. It is not... Italo Calvino
But what if all the workers we went to said the same thing? What if, everywhere he [the boss] went, there were workers saying, 'We are worth so much,' and 'We will not be treated this way,' and 'You cannot take away our jobs unless there is a just reason for doing so'?

Stephen Fry
Franz Kafka quote: "Everything you say is boring and incomprehensible, but that..."
Everything you say is boring and incomprehensible, but that alone doesn't make it true. Franz Kafka
What do you think?" I whisper to Peeta. "About the fire?" "I'll rip off your cape if you'll rip off mine," he says through gritted teeth. Suzanne Collins
George R. R. Martin quote: "Some truths did not bear saying, and some lies were necessary."
Some truths did not bear saying, and some lies were necessary. George R. R. Martin
What remains uncertain, rather, is whether this gain in evidence and (we might as well say it) splendor is due to the slow retreat of the sky, which as it moves away, sinks deeper and deeper into darkness, or whether on the contrary, it is the moon that is coming forward, collecting the previously scattered light and depriving the sky of it, concentrating it all in the round mouth of its funnel. Italo Calvino
Another one says she has asnap-off crotch. What do you think she means by that? I'm a little worried, though, about all these outbreaks of lifestyle diseases. I carry a reinforced ribbed condom at all times. One size fits all. But I have a feeling it's not much protection against the intelligence and adaptability of the modern virus. Don DeLillo
He will pity us who pitied everyone ... And He will say, 'I receive them, my wise and reasonable ones, forasmuch as not one of them considered himself worthy of this thing ... Fyodor Dostoevsky
Suzanne Collins quote: "I'm very hard to catch," says Rue. "And if they can't catch..."
I'm very hard to catch," says Rue. "And if they can't catch me, they can't kill me. So don't count me out. Suzanne Collins
That stupid Charlie Brown! He had the nerve to say I'm not perfect!"So I suppose you hit him, huh?"Rats! I knew I forgot something! Charles M. Schulz
I believe that anyone who says that sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly. I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too. I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies.

I believe... Neil Gaiman
C. S. Lewis quote: "Christians never say goodbye!"
Christians never say goodbye! C. S. Lewis
What did you say, Arthur?"I said, how the hell did you get here?"I was a row of dots flowing randomly through the Universe. Have you met Thor? He makes thunder."Hello," said Arthur. "I expect that must be very interesting."Hi," said Thor, "it is. Douglas Adams
