Robert Louis Stevenson quote: "Jekyll had more than a father's interest; Hyde had more than a..."
Jekyll had more than a father's interest; Hyde had more than a son's indifference. Robert Louis Stevenson
Women. Lord God, I used to follow these girls. THey would come at me, those girls who were not really girls anymore. Grown up, wounded, hurt and terrible. Pained and desperate. Mean and angry. Hungry and unable to say just what they needed. Scared, aching, they came into my bed like I could fix it. And every time I would try. I would do anything a woman wanted as long as she didn't want too much of me. As long as I could hide behind her need, I could make her believe anything. I would tell... Dorothy Allison
It's much easier to write a solemn book than a funny book. It's harder to make people laugh than it is to make them cry. People are always on the verge of tears. Fran Lebowitz
Well now, I'd rather have you than a dozen boys, Anne,' said Matthew patting her hand. 'Just mind you that? rather than a dozen boys. Well now, I guess it wasn't a boy that took the Avery scholarship, was it? It was a girl? my girl? my girl that I'm proud of. L. M. Montgomery
I'll drown more sailors than the mermaid shall; I'll slay more gazers than the basalisks; I'll play the orator as well as Nestor, Decieve more slily that Ulysses could, And like a Sinon, take another Troy. I can add colors to the chameleon, Change shapes with Proteus for advantages And set the murderous Machiavel to school. Can I do this, and cannot get a crown? Tut! were it further off, I'll pluck it down. William Shakespeare
So, now I shall talk every night. To myself. To the moon. I shall walk, as I did tonight, jealous of my loneliness, in the blue-silver of the cold moon, shining brilliantly on the drifts of fresh-fallen snow, with the myriad sparkles. I talk to myself and look at the dark trees, blessedly neutral. So much easier than facing people, than having to look happy, invulnerable, clever. Sylvia Plath
If the history-deniers who doubt the fact of evolution are ignorant of biology, those who think the world began less than ten thousand years ago are worst than ignorant, they are the deluded to the point of perversity. Richard Dawkins
...that swimming, sloping, elusive something about the dark-bluish tint of the iris which seemed still to retain the shadows it had absorbed of ancient, fabulous forests where there were more birds than tigers and more fruit than thorns, and where, in some dappled depth, man's mind had been born... Vladimir Nabokov
Bertrand Russell quote: "We love our habits more than our income, often more than our..."
We love our habits more than our income, often more than our life. Bertrand Russell
I claim to be no more than the average person with less than average ability. I have not the shadow of a doubt that any man or woman can achieve what I have, if he or she would make the same effort and cultivate the same hope and faith. Mahatma Gandhi
And all the woe that moved him so. That he gave that bitter crythe wild regrets, and the bloody sweats. None knew so well as I:For he who lives more lives than one. More deaths than one must die. Oscar Wilde
Before me floats an image, man or shade, Shade more than man, more image than a shade; For Hades' bobbin bound in mummy-cloth. May unwind the winding path; A mouth that has no moisture and no breath. Breathless mouths may summon;("Byzantium") William Butler Yeats
Oscar Wilde quote: "For he who lives more lives than one more deaths than one must..."
For he who lives more lives than one more deaths than one must die. Oscar Wilde
I am quite empty of feeling. I don't care the slightest bit in the world for anybody or anything except myself. But I do care for myself, and I'm going to survive in spite of them all, and I'm going to have my own success without caring the least in the world how I get it. Because I'm cleverer than they are, I'm cunninger than they are, even if I'm weak. I must build myself up proper protections, and entrench myself, and then I'm safe. I can sit inside my glass tower and feel nothing and be... David Herbert Lawrence
Ma? is an inextricable tangle of culture and biology. And not being simple, he is not simply good; he ha? a kind of hell within him from which rise everlastingly the impulses which threaten his civilization. He has the faculty of imagining for himself more in the way of pleasure and satisfaction than he can possibly achieve. Everything that he gains he pays for in more than equal coin; compromise and the compounding with defeat constitute his best way of getting through the world. His best... Lionel Trilling
