Then I started to think in Lipp’s about when I had first been able to write a story about losing everything.

This was omitted on my new theory that you could omit anything if you knew that you... Ernest Hemingway

There are more things in heaven and earth...than are dreamt of in your philosophy. William Shakespeare
God's Word will never pass away, but looking back to the Old Testament and since the time of Christ, with tears we must say that because of a lack of fortitude and faithfulness on the part of God's people, God's Word has many times been allowed to be bent, to conform to the surrounding, passing, changing culture of that moment rather than to stand as the inerrant Word of God judging the form of the world spirit and the surrounding culture of that moment. In the name of The Lord Jesus Christ,... Francis Schaeffer
Violence brings only temporary victories; violence, by creating many more social problems than it solves, never brings permanent peace. Martin Luther King jr.

Unorthodoxy threatens more than the life of a mere individual; it strikes at Society itself. Aldous Huxley
But perhaps the the great work of art has less importance in itself than in the ordeal it demands of a man and the opportunity it provides him of overcoming his phantoms and approaching a little closer to his naked reality. Albert Camus
Nothing, I suppose, exasperates a woman more than the sexual desire for her of a man who is physically repellent to her, and when, to put it bluntly, he will not take no for an answer, she may very well come to hate him. W. Somerset Maugham
John Steinbeck quote: "An unbelieved truth can hurt a man much more than a lie"
An unbelieved truth can hurt a man much more than a lie John Steinbeck
The fact is that camels are far more intelligent than dolphins. They are so much brighter that they soon realised that the most prudent thing any intelligent animal can do, if it would prefer its descendants not to spend a lot of time on a slab with electrodes clamped to their brains or sticking mines on the bottom of ships or being patronized rigid by zoologists, is to make bloody certain humans don't find out about it. So they long ago plumped for a lifestyle that, in return for a certain... Terry Prachett
There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.” —, Dante Alighieri (Spencer Reid, Criminal Minds, Season 7 - Episode 11 Dante Alighieri
Not that I'm complaining. It was better than my old dream, where Harma Dogshead was feeding me to her pigs."Harma's dead." Jon said."But not the pigs. They look at me the way Slayer used to look at ham. Not to say that the wildlings mean us harm. Aye, we hacked their gods apart and made them burn the pieces, but we gave them onion soup. What's a god compared to a nice bowl of onion soup? I could do with mine myself. George R. R. Martin
Nothing perhaps increases by indulgence more than a desultory habit of reading, especially under such opportunities of gratifying it. Walter Scott
Reading a book should be a conversation between you and the author. Presumably he knows more about the subject than you do; if not, you probably should not be bothering with his book. But understanding is a two-way operation; the learner has to question himself and question the teacher, once he understands what the teacher is saying. Marking a book is literally an expression of your differences or your agreements with the author. It is the highest respect you can pay him. Mortimer Adler
