Up Quotes (page 243)

Her dizziness has faded, but the rocking sensation continues. She feels as if her footing has been swept out from under her. Her body's interior has lost all necessary weight and is becoming a cavern. Some kind of hand is deftly stripping away everything that has constituted her as Eri until now: the organs, the senses, the muscles, the memories. She knows she will end up as a mere convenient conduit used for the passage of external things. Her flesh creeps with the overwhelming sense of... Haruki Murakami
I try to keep deep love out of my stories because, once that particular subject comes up, it is almost impossible to talk about anything else. Readers don’t want to hear about anything else. They go gaga about love. If a lover in a story wins his true love, that’s the end of the tale, even if World War III is about to begin, and the sky is black with flying saucers. Kurt Vonnegut
Terry Prachett quote: "Her singing always cheered him up. Life seemed so much..."

Sylvia Plath quote: "I started adding up all the things I couldn't do. I began with..."
I started adding up all the things I couldn't do. I began with cooking. Sylvia Plath
He was slumped in the back, gazing out of the window, as though his parents were two people who had picked him up hitchhiking, connected to him merely by chance and proximity. J. K. Rowling
Neil Gaiman quote: "you got a story to tell, and you are the only one who can tell..."

The fate of our country is now in the hands of people who don't think about what they want until they get right up to the register at McDonald's. Stephen Colbert
The thing was, Mitchell now knew what Merton meant, or thought he did. As he took in the marvelous sights, the dusty Polo grounds, the holy cows with their painted horns, he got into the habit of walking around Calcutta in the presence of God. Furthermore, it seemed to Mitchell that this didn't have to be a difficult thing. It was something every child knew how to do, maintain a direct and full conversation with the world. Somehow you forgot about is as you grew up, and had to learn it again. Jeffrey Eugenides
Charles Bukowski quote: "and if I have any advice to give to anybody it’s this: take up..."
and if I have any advice to give to anybody it’s this: take up watercolor painting. Charles Bukowski
I lapsed into my pathetic cut-off period. Often with humans, both good and bad, my senses simply shut off, they get tired, I give up. I am polite. I nod. I pretend to understand because I don’t want anybody to be hurt. That is the one weakness that has lead me into the most trouble. Trying to be kind to others I often get my soul shredded into a kind of spiritual pasta. No matter. My brain shuts off. I listen. I respond. And they are too dumb to know that I am not there. Charles Bukowski
George Washington Carver quote: "99% of failures comes from those who have a habit of making up..."
99% of failures comes from those who have a habit of making up excuses. George Washington Carver
Instead of making myself write the book I ought to write, the novel that was expected of me, I conjured up the book I myself would have liked to read, the sort by an unknown writer, from another age and another country, discovered in an attic. Italo Calvino

Lestat: Toughen up baby. I'm looking for the eternal scum. Anne Rice
But I do think the idea that basic cooking skills are a virtue, that the ability to feed yourself and a few others with proficiency should be taught to every young man and woman as a fundamental skill, should become as vital to growing up as learning to wipe one’s own ass, cross the street by oneself, or be trusted with money. Anthony Bourdain
