Somebody Quotes (page 61)

We tend to disempower ourselves. We tend to believe that we don’t matter. And in the act of taking that idea to ourselves we give everything away to somebody else, to something else. Terence McKenna
Democracy in America was never the same as Liberty in Europe. In Europe Liberty was a great life-throb. But in America Democracy was always something anti-life. The greatest democrats, like Abraham Lincoln, had always a sacrificial, self-murdering note in their voices. American Democracy was a form of self-murder, always. Or of murdering somebody else... The love, the democracy, the floundering into lust, is a sort of by-play. The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer.... David Herbert Lawrence
Richard Pryor quote: "You can't talk about fucking in America, people say you're..."
You can't talk about fucking in America, people say you're dirty. But if you talk about killing somebody, that's cool. Richard Pryor
Miracles are to come. With you I leave a remembrance of miracles: they are by somebody who can loveand who shall be continually reborn, a human being. E. E. Cummings
Of all the things a man may do, sleep probably contributes most to keeping him sane. It puts brackets about each day. If you do something foolish or painful today, you get irritated if somebody mentions it, today. If it happened yesterday, though, you can nod or chuckle, as the case may be. You've crossed through nothingness or dream to another island in Time. Roger Zelazny
I think women are sexy when they got some clothes on. And if later they take them off then you've triumphed. Somebody once said it's what you dont see you're interested in, and this is true. Groucho Marx
Reading is very creative - it's not just a passive thing. I write a story; it goes out into the world; somebody reads it and, by reading it, completes it. Margaret Mahy
Roald Dahl quote: "It doesn't matter who you are or what you look like, so long..."
It doesn't matter who you are or what you look like, so long as somebody loves you. Roald Dahl
It's stores, it's the whole thing, all that shit everywhere, 'scuse me, that merchandise, all those goods, and ads screaming at you from all over the place, buy buy buy buy buy, and when somebody comes up to me with big hair and gobs of makeup on and says, `Can I help you?`, it's all I can do not to scream, `Bitch, you can't even help yourself. Michael Cunningham
One of the hardest lessons I have to learn is how not to be judgmental about people who are judgmental. When I see ow wrong somebody is—how shallow it is to look at the Resurrection as a mere, explainable fact—when I see only the mistakenness of others, then I am blinded to their being children of God, who are just as valued and treasured as are those who more nearly agree with me. Madeleine L'Engle
If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid with regard to external things. Don't wish to be thought to know anything; and even if you appear to be somebody important to others, distrust yourself. Epictetus
Pete Hamill quote: "The only way to fight nostalgia is to listen to somebody..."
The only way to fight nostalgia is to listen to somebody else's nostalgia Pete Hamill
It's quite an undertaking to start loving somebody. You have to have energy ,generosity, blindness. There is even a moment right at the start where you have to jump across an abyss: if you think about it you don't do it. Jean-Paul Sartre
John Waters quote: "We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody..."
We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck them. John Waters
I look at the Augusteum,and I think that perhaps my life has not actually been so chaotic, after all. It is merely this world that is chaotic, bringing changes to us all that nobody could have anticipated. The Augusteum warns me to not to get attached to any obsolete ideas about who I am, what I represent, whom I belong to, or what function I may once have intended to serve. Yesterday I might have been a glorious monument to somebody, true enough--but tomorrow I could be a fireworks... Elizabeth Gilbert
