Long after her death I felt her thoughts floating through mine. Long before we met we had had the same dreams. We compared notes. We found strange affinities. The same June of the same year (1919) a stray canary had fluttered into her house and mine, in two widely separated countries. Oh, Lolita, had you love me thus! Vladimir Nabokov
For that matter, Odysseus himself might have borrowed a trick or two from the rabbit hero, for he is very old and was never at a loss for a trick to deceive his enemies. Richard Adams
Victor Hugo quote: "Man is not a circle with a single center; he is an ellipse..."
Man is not a circle with a single center; he is an ellipse with two focii. Facts are one, ideas are the other. Victor Hugo
I was born wandering between two worlds, one dead, the other powerless to be born, and have made, in a curious way, the worst of both. Aldous Huxley
The Christian god can easily be pictured as virtually the same god as the many ancient gods of past civilizations. The Christian god is a three headed monster cruel vengeful and capricious.

Thomas Jefferson
What use to skip those two grades in grammar school and get such a jump on everybody else, when the result is to wind up so far behind? Philip Roth

When you're testing to see how deep water is, never use two feet. Benjamin Franklin
Touched by her fingers, the two surviving chocolate people copulate desperately, losing themselves in a melting frenzy of lust, spending the last of their brief borrowed lives in a spasm of raspberry cream and fear. Neil Gaiman
I have always lived violently, drunk hugely, eaten too much or not at all, slept around the clock or missed two nights of sleeping, worked too hard and too long in glory, or slobbed for a time in utter laziness.
