We should tackle reality in a slightly jokey way, otherwise we miss its point. Lawrence Durrell
I got the sense that he was the kind of person who couldn't hold anger for more than a few minutes, because it just wasn't in him. It could never grow into resentment or bitterness, and I knew then that he was the kind of man who would be married forever. And I decided then and there that I should be the one to marry him. Nicholas Sparks
To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is the bad dream. A bad dream. I remembered everything. I remembered the cadavers and Doreen and the story of the fig tree and Marco's diamond and the sailor on the Common and Doctor Gordon's wall-eyed nurse and the broken thermometer and the Negro with his two kinds of beans and the twenty pounds I gained on insulin and the rock that bulged between sky and sea like a gray skull. Maybe forgetfulness, like a kind... Sylvia Plath
All the world was before me and every day was a holiday, so it did not seem important to which one of the world's wildernesses I first should wander. John Muir
Life left us all where we were meant to be or where it was convenient to leave us and then forgot us, which is as it should be. Roberto Bolano
No, you shouldn't have come here. But you are here, so yes, you should be here. There are more words in the world then yes and no. Barbara Kingsolver
I don't know why they are all so eager to be remembered. What good will it do them? There are some things that should be forgotten by everyone, and never spoken of again. Margaret Atwood
Christianity cannot subsist unless men know what Christianity is; and the fair and logical thing is to learn what Christianity is, not from its opponents, but from those who themselves are Christians. That method of procedure would be the only fair method in the case of any movement. [...] Men have abundant opportunity today to learn what can be said against Christianity, and it is only fair that they should also learn something about the thing that is being attacked. John Gresham Machen
But where the ideas of morality and decency alter from one age to another, and where vicious manners are described, without being marked with the proper character of blame and disapprobation, this must be allowed to disfigure the poem, and to be a real deformity. I cannot, nor is it proper I should, enter into such sentiments; and however I may excuse the poet, on account of the manners of age, I can never relish the composition. David Hume
O my brothers, your nobility should not look backward but ahead! Exiles shall you be from all father- and forefather-lands! Your children's land shall you love: this love shall be your new nobility? the undiscovered land in the most distant sea. For that I bid your sails search and search. In your children you shall make up for being the children of your fathers: thus shall you redeem all that is past. Friedrich Nietzsche
It's only that I feel an injustice has been committed. Why should I have somebody else's malaria and you have my dose of clap? Joseph Heller
William Shakespeare quote: "Ambition should be made from sterner stuff."
Ambition should be made from sterner stuff. William Shakespeare
The divorce between Church and State ought to be absolute. It ought to be so absolute that no Church property anywhere, in any state or in the nation, should be exempt from equal taxation; for if you exempt the property of any church organization, to that extent you impose a tax upon the whole community. James A. Garfield
C. S. Lewis quote: "It has not pleased God that the distinction between a sin and..."
It has not pleased God that the distinction between a sin and a duty should turn on fine feelings. C. S. Lewis
I love you sometimes foolishly and at these moments I do not understand that I could not, would not, and should not be so absorbing a thought for you as you are for me... Franz Liszt
