Them Quotes (page 555)

The Aunts put their arms about one another so that their faces were cheek to cheek, and from this doublehead they gazed up at Steerpike with a row of four equidistant eyes. There was no reason why there should not have been forty, or four hundred of them. It so happened that only four had been removed from a dead and endless frieze whose inexhaustible and repetitive theme was forever, eyes, eyes, eyes. Mervyn Peake
Anne Frank quote: "I've drawn myself apart from them all; I am my own skipper and..."
I've drawn myself apart from them all; I am my own skipper and later on I shall see where I come to land Anne Frank
In my life I have had various health threats: polio, seizures, a brain aneurysm. None of these things has really changed me much, although it is hard to say for sure. These are events that are part of my life. They make me who I am. I am thankful for them. They are scary. Neil Young
Thomas Pynchon quote: "Death has come in the pantry door: stands watching them, iron..."
Death has come in the pantry door: stands watching them, iron and patient, with a look that says try to tickle me. Thomas Pynchon
Neutrinos, they are very small. They have no charge and have no mass And do not interact at all. The earth is just a silly ball To them, through which they simply pass, Like dustmaids down a drafty hall Or photons through a sheet of glass. They snub the most exquisite gas, Ignore the most substantial wall, Cold shoulder steel and sounding brass, Insult the stallion in his stall, And, scorning barriers of class, Infiltrate you and me. Like tall And painless guillotines they fall Down through... John Updike
After all, the task of the humanists is surely not that of pitting their slogans against the slogans of the oppressors, with the oppressed as the testing ground, "housing" the slogans of first one group and then the other. On the contrary, the task of the humanists is to see that the oppressed become aware of the fact that as dual beings, "housing" the oppressors within them selves, they cannot be truly human. Paulo Freire
To the young, indeed, death is sometimes welcome, for the young can feel. They love and suffer, and it wrings them to see their beloved pass into the land of shadows. H. Rider Haggard
Englishmen are so odd. They are like a nest of Chinese boxes. It takes a very long time to get to the centre of them. When one gets there the result is unrewarding, but the process is instructive and entertaining. Ian Fleming
Haruki Murakami quote: "The things she most wanted to tell him would lose their..."
The things she most wanted to tell him would lose their meaning the moment she put them into words. Haruki Murakami
Well, Montag, take my word for it, I've had to read a few in my time, to know what I was about, and the books say nothing! Nothing you can teach or believe. They're about non-existent people, figments of imagination, if they're fiction. And if they're non-fiction, it's worse, one professor calling another an idiot, one philosopher screaming down another's gullet. All of them running about, putting out the stars and extinguishing the sun. You come away lost. Ray Bradbury
My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a lifetime, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives. Haruki Murakami
Pat Robertson quote: "Morals are like assholes: gay men just want to fuck them with..."
Morals are like assholes: gay men just want to fuck them with their hard, glistening cocks. Pat Robertson
She had to reach. She had to want it more than she’d ever wanted anything. She had to grab like a drowning girl for every good thing that came her way and she had to swim like fuck away from every bad thing. She had to count the years and let them roll by, to grow up and then run as far as she could in the direction of her best and happiest dreams across the bridge that was built by her own desire to heal. Cheryl Strayed
Nikola Tesla quote: "We crave for new sensations but soon become indifferent to..."
We crave for new sensations but soon become indifferent to them. The wonders of yesterday are today common occurrences Nikola Tesla
When I asked my parents how the baby got inside Ma, they both laughed, and then Daddy told me they had made it with their bodies. I pictured them fully clothed, rubbing furiously against each other, like two sticks making fire. Wally Lamb
