Thy Quotes (page 620)

Metaphysical guilt is the lack of absolute solidarity with the human being as such--an indelible claim beyond morally meaningful duty. This solidarity is violated by my presence at a wrong or a crime. It is not enough that I cautiously risk my life to prevent it; if it happens, and I was there, and if I survive where the other is killed, I know from a voice within myself: I am guilty of being still alive. Karl Jaspers
Doug Coupland quote: "Well, it’s amazing what you can find in this world if you’re..."
Well, it’s amazing what you can find in this world if you’re willing to sleep with people. Doug Coupland

The very air had screams smeared on it. He flinched from the noise in this silent room. Thomas Harris

There's gonna be times when people tell you that you can't live your dreams, this is what I tell them, Never Say Never. Justin Bieber
That's right," said Luna encouragingly, as if they were back in the Room of Requirement and this was simply spell practice for the D.A. "That's right, Harry... come on, think of something happy..."Something happy?" he said, his voice cracked."We're all still here," she whispered, "We're still fighting. Come on, now... J. K. Rowling
Anybody," said Johnny, carried away by his personal dream of Democracy, "can ride in one of the hansom cabs, provided," he qualified, "they get the money. So you can see what a free country we got here."What's free about it if you have to pay?" asked Francie."It's free in this way: If you have the money you're allowed to ride in them no matter who you are. In the old countries, certain people aren't free to ride in them, even if they have the money. Betty Smith
If he were around this place as a professor, he could teach 'Appropriate Behavior in Classical Greek Drama,' a course that would be over before it began. Philip Roth
He feels, as he sometimes does, as most people must, a presence in the room, what he can only think of as his and Rebecca's living ghosts, the amalgamation of their dreams and their breathing, their smells. He does not believe in ghosts, but he believes in...something. Something viable, something living, that's surprised when he wakes at this hour, that's neither glad nor sorry to see him awake but that recognizes the fact, because it has been interrupted in its nocturnal inchoate musings. Michael Cunningham
Competition permits the capitalist to deduct from the price of labour power that which the family earns from its own little garden or field; the workers are compelled to accept any piece wages offered to them, because otherwise they would get nothing at all, and they could not live from the products of their small-scale agriculture alone, and because, on the other hand, it is just this agriculture and landownership which chains them to the spot and prevents them from looking around for other... Friedrich Engels
Milan Kundera quote: "The basis of shame is not some personal mistake of ours, but..."
The basis of shame is not some personal mistake of ours, but that this humiliation is seen by everyone Milan Kundera
Harold Bloom quote: "We'll try this first. If it doesn't work, we'll try something..."
We'll try this first. If it doesn't work, we'll try something else. That's life, isn't it? Harold Bloom
All this is only fooling, for if it is true that every man must work for his own salvation, then all the prophecies about the future of the world are only valuable and allowable as a recreation, or a joke, like playing bowls or cards. Soren Kierkegaard
Whenever you find a man who says he doesn't believe in a real Right and Wrong, you will find the same man going back on this a moment later."--The Case for Christianity C. S. Lewis
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start. Mother Teresa
If you only have brains on your head you would be as good a man as any of them, and a better man than some of them. Brains are the only things worth having in this world, no matter whether one is a crow or a man. L. Frank Baum
