Them Quotes (page 562)

all these things think through me, or I think through them (for, in the grandeur of reverie, the I is soon lost); they think, I say, but musically and picturesquely, without quibble, without syllogism, without deduction. Charles Baudelaire
We have hands; we can stand on them if we want to. That's our privilege. That's the joy of a mortal body. And that's why God needs us. Because God loves to feel things through our hands. Elizabeth Gilbert
Well, I'm your man. I'm the bloody bastard you wanted when you had me spawned. I'm your tool, and what difference does it make if I hate the part of me that you most need? What difference does it make that when the little serpents killed me in the game, I agreed with them, and was glad. Orson Scott Card
Tyler Perry quote: "I got 27 people livin in my head and all of them was about to..."
I got 27 people livin in my head and all of them was about to beat the heck out of you for doin that.. Tyler Perry
Actually, there is no such thing as a homosexual person, any more than there is such a thing as a heterosexual person. The words are adjectives describing sexual acts, not people. The sexual acts are entirely normal; if they were not, no one would perform them. Gore Vidal
The one critisism the author of Slaugherhouse-Five would make of the young writer was what he called a punctuation problem. Mr. Vonnegut didn't like all the semicolons. 'People will probably figure out that you went to college -- you don't have to try to prove it to them,' he told Danny. John Irving
W. Somerset Maugham quote: "What do we any of us have but our illusions? And what do we..."
What do we any of us have but our illusions? And what do we ask of others but that we be allowed to keep them? W. Somerset Maugham
Mr. Vandemar showed them his teeth, demonstrating his sunny and delightful disposition. It was unquestionably the most horrible thing Richard had ever seen. Neil Gaiman
I found the prospect daunting, but somehow comforting, too, because the counselors insisted it could be done, and, after all, many of them were recovering alcoholics themselves. Craig Ferguson
Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts not measured words, but pouring them right out, just as they are. Dinah Maria Mulock
That bit where that lad sprang backwards right across the room with them axes in his hands was impressive, though."Yeah."You didn't ought to have stuck your sword out like that, I thought."He's learned an important lesson."It won't do him much good now where he's gone. Terry Prachett
I am glad that the country world…retains a power to use our English tongue. It is a part of its sense of reality, of its vocabulary of definite terms, and of its habit of earthly common sense. I find this country writing an excellent corrective of the urban vocabulary of abstractions and of the emotion disguised as thinking which abstractions and humbug have loosed upon the world. May there always be such things as a door, a milk pail, and a loaf of bread, and words to do them honor. Henry Beston
I stroked Eric's hair, tucking some behind his ear. His eyes on mine were intent, and I knew he was waiting for me to speak. "I wish," I said, "I could save orgasms in a jar for when i need them, because I think I had a few extra." Eric's eyes widened, and all of a sudden he roared with laughter. (Dead to the World) Charlaine Harris
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "A mystic is a man who separates heaven and earth even if he..."
A mystic is a man who separates heaven and earth even if he enjoys them both. Gilbert K. Chesterton

Maurice Merleau-Ponty
