Up Quotes (page 267)

sounds of life and movement, people getting ready and people giving up, the sound of hope and the sound of hanging on, and behind them all, the quiet, deadly ticking of a thousand hungry clocks... Hunter S. Thompson
However, as words become particularized, and as men begin - in however small a way - to use them in personal, arbitrary ways, so their transformation into art begins. It was words of this kind that, descending on me like a swarm of winged insects, seized on my individuality and sought to shut me up within it. Nevertheless, despite the enemy's depredations upon my person, I turned their universality - at once a weapon and a weakness - back on them, and to some extent succeeded in using words... Yukio Mishima
I am one of the sort that lives by throwing stones at other people'sglass houses, but I never mean to put up one for them to stone. Harriet Beecher Stowe
Seth Godin quote: "Tell your lizard (brain) to shut up."
Tell your lizard (brain) to shut up. Seth Godin

In other words, let's face it: Life is basically unfair. But even in a situation that's unfair, I think it's possible to seek out a kind of fairness. Of course, that might take time and effort. And maybe it won't seem to be worth all that. It's up to each individual to decide whether or not it is. Haruki Murakami
FROZEN DREAMI'll take the dream I had last night. And put it in my freezer, So someday long and far away. When I'm an old grey geezer, I'll take it out and thaw it out, This lovely dream I've frozen, And boil it up and sit me down. A dip my old cold toes in. Shel Silverstein
Dude, the place is filling up," I say. "It feels like we're living in the bottom half of an hourglass."Like somehow we're running out of time. Chuck Palahniuk
Beside the road cows are lazily chewing grass. They show zero interest in the runners. They're too busy eating grass to care about all these whimsical people and their nonsensical activities. And for their part the runners don't have the leisure to pay attention to what the cows are up to, either. Haruki Murakami
Not to give away the woman one loved, but to back her up in her mistakes -- once they had gone a certain length -- that was perhaps chief among the inevitabilities of the abjection of love. Henry James
I think you guys are going to have to come up with a lot of wonderful new lies, or people just aren't going to want to go on living. Kurt Vonnegut
Wherever there's injustice, oppression, and suffering, America will show up six months late and bomb the country next to where it's happening. P. J. O'Rourke
Books lie, he said.God dont lie.No, said the judge. He does not. And these are his words.He held up a chunk of rock.He speaks in stones and trees, the bones of things.The squatters in their rags nodded among themselves and were soon reckoning him correct, this man of learning, in all his speculations, and this the judge encouraged until they were right proselytes of the new order whereupon he laughed at them for fools. Cormac McCarthy
Mae West quote: "I've no time for broads who want to rule the world alone...."
I've no time for broads who want to rule the world alone. Without men, who'd do up the zipper on the back of your dress? Mae West
In all this welter of women I still hadn't got one for myself, not that I was trying too hard, but sometimes I felt lonely to see everybody paired off and having a good time and all I did was curl up in my sleeping bag in the rosebushes and sigh and say bah. For me it was just red wine in my mouth and a pile of firewood Jack Kerouac
