Them Quotes (page 609)

It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery grey. A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet. He'll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat, take the motherless children off the street and place them at the feet of a harlot. Bob Dylan
Pope John Paul II quote: "if desire is predominant it can deform love between man and..."
...if desire is predominant it can deform love between man and woman and rob them both of it. Pope John Paul II
That image - of a little child being suffocated, or almost suffocated, by others who thought the whole thing was a game - melded with the furtive nocturnal slugs, and my solitary pacing and singing, and the separate, claustrophobic stairway, and the charmless abstract painting, and the gold-framed mirror, and the slithery green satin bedspread, and became inseperable from them. It wasn't a cheerful composite. As a memory, it is more like a fog bank than a sunlit meadow. Yet I think of that... Margaret Atwood
It was Kovacs who said "Mother" then, muffled under latex. It was Kovacs who closed his eyes. It was Rorschach who opened them again. Alan Moore
I am watching the stars, admiring their complex trajectories through space and time. I am trying to give a name to the force that set them in motion. Alan Moore
Nothing would bother me more than if they found me strange at the office. I like to revel in the irony that they don't find me at all strange. I like the hair shirt of being regarded by them as their equal. I like the crucifixion of being considered no different. THere are martyrdoms more subtle than those recorded for the saints and hermits. There are torments of our mental awareness as there are of the body and of desire. And in the former, as in the latter, there's a certain sensuality..... Fernando Pessoa
Virginia Woolf quote: "As the streets that lead from the Strand to the Embankment are..."
As the streets that lead from the Strand to the Embankment are very narrow, it is better not to walk down them arm-in-arm. Virginia Woolf
But her mother had looked at her curiously, gravely, puzzled by this creature who seemed all contradictions - at one moment so hard, at another so gentle, gentle to tenderness, even. Anna had been stirred, as her child had been stirred, by the breath of the meadowsweet under the hedges; for in this they were one, the mother and daughter, having each in her veins the warm Celtic blood that takes note of such things - could they only have divined it, such simple things might have formed a link... Radclyffe Hall
I told her that I can't be doing with the Wonder part of these trips, but she said it should be the icing on the cake... I've never liked wedding cake due to the amount of icing, but then imagine a wedding cake without it; just a dark, stodgy, horrible dry sponge. The icing covers up the mess, and that's how I feel about most of the Wonders. They use them to get people to visit a place that you probably wouldn't think about visiting. Karl Pilkington
Don't be disappointed if people refuse to help you. Remember in the words of Einstein:"I'm thankful to all those who said 'NO' because of them, I did it myself. Albert Einstein
They say the sun brings life to the universe. The sun will rise and--look at it. Isn't it dead? Everything is dead. Dead men are everywhere. There are only people in the world, and all around them is silence--that's what the earth is. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life cannot have had a random beginning ... The trouble is that there are about 2000 enzymes, and the chance of obtaining them all in a random trial is only one part in 10^40,000, an outrageously small probability that could not be faced even if the whole universe consisted of organic soup. Fred Hoyle
Napoleon Bonaparte quote: "We frustrate many designs against us by pretending not to see..."
We frustrate many designs against us by pretending not to see them. Napoleon Bonaparte
Place the lives of children in their formative years, despite the convictions of their parents, under the intimate control of experts appointed by the state, force them to attend schools where the higher aspirations of humanity are crushed out, and where the mind is filled with the materialism of the day, and it is difficult to see how even the remnants of liberty can subsist. John Gresham Machen
The question that must guide all organizing activity in a parish is not how to keep people busy, but how to keep them from being so busy that they can no longer hear the voice of God who speaks in silence. Henri Nouwen
