I want to see the thirstinside the syllables. I want to touch the firein the sound: I want to feel the darknessof the cry. I wantwords as roughas virgin rocks? - Verb. Pablo Neruda
After visiting these two places (Berchtesgaden and the Eagle's lair on Obersalzberg) you can easily see how that within a few years Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived. He had boundless ambition for his country, which rendered him a menace to the peace of the world, but he had a mystery about him in the way that he lived and in the manner of his death that will live and grow after him. He had in him the stuff of which... John F. Kennedy

The real art of discovery is not in finding new land, but in seeing with new eyes. Marcel Proust
Anthony Powell quote: "There is, after all, no pleasure like that given by a woman..."
There is, after all, no pleasure like that given by a woman who really wants to see you. Anthony Powell
I am wary of the whole dreary deadening structured mess that we have built into such a glittering top-heavy structure that there is nothing left to see but the glitter, and the brute routines of maintaining it. John D. MacDonald
Usually when you see females in movies, they feel like they have these metallic structures around them, they are caged by male energy. Bjork
If we look more closely, we see that any violent display of power, whether political or religious, produces an outburst of folly in a large part of mankind; indeed, this seems actually to be a psychological and sociological law: the power of some needs the folly of others. It is not that certain human capacities, intellectual capacities for instance, become stunted of destroyed, but rather that the upsurge of power makes such an overwhelming impression that men are deprived of their... Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Great faith, like great strength in general, is revealed by the ease of its workings. Most of what we think we see as the struggle OF faith is really the struggle to act as IF we had faith when in fact we do not. Dallas Willard
This is what the past is for! Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see. Corrie Ten Boom
I have often reflected upon the new vistas that reading has opened to me. I knew right there in prison that reading had changed forever the course of my life. As I see it today, the ability to read awoke inside me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive. Malcolm X
If you participate in life, you don’t see it clearly: you suffer from it too much or enjoy it too much. The artist, to my way of thinking, is a monstrosity, something outside nature. All the misfortunes Providence inflicts on him come from his stubborness in denying that maxim. Gustave Flaubert
there is not a day of my life that I am not critiquing myself to see if my politics are borne out in the way that I live and the way that I talk and present myself. Bell Hooks
Lawrence Durrell quote: "You see, nothing matters except pleasure - which is the..."
You see, nothing matters except pleasure - which is the opposite of happiness, its tragic part, I expect. Lawrence Durrell
To the European, it is a characteristic of the American culture that, again and again, one is commanded and ordered to 'be happy.' But happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue. One must have a reason to 'be happy.' Once the reason is found, however, one becomes happy automatically. As we see, a human being is not one in pursuit of happiness but rather in search of a reason to become happy, last but not least, through actualizing the potential meaning inherent and dormant in a given... Viktor E. Frankl
I would like to believe in the myth that we grow wiser with age. In a sense my disbelief is wisdom. Those of a middle generation, if charitable or sentimental, subscribe to the wisdom myth, while the callous see us as dispensable objects, like broken furniture or dead flowers. For the young we scarcely exist unless we are unavoidable members of the same family, farting, slobbering, perpetually mislaying teeth and bifocals. Patrick White
