A man may take to drink because he feels himself a failure, but then fail all the more completely because he drinks. George Orwell
A new degree of anger came over him. What did it all matter? What did it matter if the mother talked Polish and cried in labour, if this child were stiff with resistance, and crying?

They are here but also there, already in albums and slide projectors, filling picture frames with their microcosmic bodies, the minikin selves they are trying to become. Don DeLillo
I couldn't help but think, This car is taking me to a mental hospital and my mother is treating it like open-mic night at a Greenwich Village caf. Augusten Burroughs

A bore is someone who takes away my solitude and doesn't give me companionship in return. Henry David Thoreau
Clint Eastwood quote: "It's a hell of a thing; killin' a man. You take away..."
It's a hell of a thing; killin' a man. You take away everything he ever had and ever would have. Clint Eastwood
If something takes too long, something happens to you. You become all and only the thing you want and nothing else, for you have paid too much for it, too much in wanting and too much in waiting and too much in getting. Robert Penn Warren
You take every opportunity given you in this world, even if you have too many opportunities. One day, the opportunities stop, you know. John Irving

Mephistopholese: But we, more cunning in our cares, Must take our joys before they fade. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne. Robert Burns
