Virginia Woolf
Nick Hornby quote: "We are never allowed to forget that some books are badly..."
We are never allowed to forget that some books are badly written; we should remember that sometimes they"re badly read, too. Nick Hornby
Sophocles quote: "To me so deep a silence portends some dread event; a clamorous..."
To me so deep a silence portends some dread event; a clamorous sorrow wastes itself in sound. Sophocles
I guess it's going to have to hurt, I guess I'm going to have to cry, And let go of some things I've loved to get to the other sideI guess it's going to break me down, Like fallin when you try to fly, Sad but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life starts with goodbye Carrie Underwood

But for precisely this reason, I can't see myself smiting my brow with shock or hear myself whining about how it's all so unfair: I have been taunting the Reaper into taking a free scythe in my direction and have now succumbed to something so predictable and banal that it bores even me. Christopher Hitchens
This book is written in blood. Is it written entirely in blood? No, some of it is written in tears. Are the blood and tears all mine? Yes, they have been in the past, but the future is a different matter. As the bear swore in Pogo after having endured a pot shoved on her head, being turned upside down while still in the pot, a discussion about her edibility, the lawnmowering of her behind, and a fistful of ground pepper in the snoot, she then swore a mighty oath on the ashes of her...
