Joan Didion
Rebirth is almost impossible without the darkness.....I tell myself I am experiencing the death of myself as mother, the death of myself as a younger woman -- precious old lives going by the wayside.

Shut up. For the rest of this conversation, you don't say anything. When I tell you what you did wrong, you don't say you're sorry, because I already know you're sorry. And when you drive outta here alive, you don't thank me for being alive. And you don't even say goodbye to me. Neal Stephenson
All books can be indecent books. Though recent books are bolder, For filth, I'm glad to say, is in. The mind of the beholder. When correctly viewed, Everything is lewd. I could tell you things about Peter Pan. And the Wizard of Oz, there's a dirty old man... Tom Lehrer
James Patterson quote: "All teachers who were telling everyone where to go were..."
All teachers who were telling everyone where to go were wearing outfits made of aluminum foil , like robot aliens ? James Patterson

William Jennings Bryan

Anne Bronte
