Haruki Murakami quote: "Our faces were no more than ten inches apart but she was..."
Our faces were no more than ten inches apart but she was lightyears away from me. Haruki Murakami
I know this is insane, but i somehow wish i had been in auschwitz with my parents so i could really know what they lived through! I guess it's some kind of guilt about having had an easier life than they did. Art Spiegelman
Musical instruments in celebrating the praises of God would be no more suitable than the burning of incense, the lighting of lamps, and the restoration of the other shadows of the law. The Papists therefore, have foolishly borrowed, this, as well as many other things, from the Jews. Men who are fond of outward pomp may delight in that noise; but the simplicity which God recommends to us by the apostles is far more pleasing to him. Paul allows us to bless God in the public assembly of the... John Calvin
Critics do not have the satisfaction of working on things that actually exist, like sick dogs or dental cavities. So they are tempted to pluck a virtue out of necessity and claim that they toil in an altogether superior realm, that of the imagination. This implies, rather oddly, that things which do not exist are inevitably more precious than those that do, which is a fairly devastating comment on the latter. What kind of a world is it in which possibility is unquestionably preferable to... Terry Eagleton
Though it may be right to care more for the benefit of the many than for the indulgence of your own single self, when you consider that the many, and duty to them, only exist to you through your own existence, what can be said? Thomas Hardy
Ruth Bernhard quote: "If you are not willing to see more than is visible, you won't..."
If you are not willing to see more than is visible, you won't see anything. Ruth Bernhard
First, consider the pen you write with. It should be a fast-writing pen because your thoughts are always much faster than your hand. You don't want to slow up your hand even more with a slow pen. A ballpoint, a pencil, a felt tip, for sure, are slow. Go to a stationery store and see what feels good to you. Try out different kinds. Don't get too fancy and expensive. I mostly use a cheap Sheaffer fountain pen, about $1.95.... You want to be able to feel the connection and texture of the pen on... Natalie Goldberg
Paul Eluard quote: "The poet is rather one who inspires than one inspired."
The poet is rather one who inspires than one inspired. Paul Eluard
I'll bet I'm as old as you are."I'm older than Sanskrit."Well, I was waitress at the Last Supper."I'm so old I remember when McDonald's had only sold a hundred burgers."You win. Tom Robbins
George Saintsbury quote: "Nothing is more curious than the almost savage hostility that..."
Nothing is more curious than the almost savage hostility that humor excites in those who lack it. George Saintsbury
What I needed more than anything was a place where unfocused unhappiness could thrive, where I could be still and worry and mope; I had the blues, and when I watched my team I could unwrap them and let them breathe a little. Nick Hornby
Friendship and domestic happiness are continually praised; yet how little is there of either in the world, because it requires more cultivation of mind to keep awake affection, even in our own hearts, than the common run of people suppose. Mary Wollstonecraft
Ewan McGregor quote: "Starting with a party scene for 600 cast and end up singing on..."
Starting with a party scene for 600 cast and end up singing on top of a giant elephant...does it get any better than this? Ewan McGregor
There is no greater blessing that you can have than to stand as a proxy in a great service to those who have gone beyond. And it will be your privilege and your opportunity and your responsibility to live worthy to go to the temple of the Lord and be baptized in behalf of someone else. Gordon B. Hinckley
The mishandling of food and equipment with panache was always admired; to some extent, this remains true to this day. Butchers still slap down prime cuts with just a little more force and noise than necessary. Line cooks can't help putting a little English on outgoing plates, spinning them into the pass-through with reverse motion so they curl back just short of the edge. Oven doors in most kitchens have to be constantly tightened because of repeatedly being kicked closed by clog-shod feet.... Anthony Bourdain
