Once in a lifetime. The longed-for tidal wave. Of justice can rise up, And hope and history rhyme. Sophocles
Look. I see it. You can go to all the movies and watch all the television you want. I am the end of all time. I'm not hooked up to the machine. I don't care about being labelled a misogynist, misanthropic hate addict. I don't give a fuck if some human organism calls me politically incorrect. I like the idea of people getting killed in parking lots. I stab every person who passes me. In my mind, I stab them in the face with a fucking knife. If I thought I could get away with it, I would skin... Henry Rollins
Success went fizzily to Bernard's head, and in the process completely reconciled him (as any good intoxicant should do) to a world which, up till then, he had found very unsatisfactory. In so far as it recognized him as important, the order of things was good. Aldous Huxley
I have never been able to understand the complaint that a story is "depressing" because of its subject matter. What depresses me are stories that don't seem to know these things go on, or hide them in resolute chipperness; "witty stories," in which every problem is the occasion for a joke; "upbeat" stories that flog you with transcendence. Please. We're grown ups now. Tobias Wolff
His lectures were always well attended, and not just because he imparted so much wisdom and knowledge: he also managed to do it with humour. It had taken Danny some time to realize that the professor enjoyed provoking discussion and argument by offering up outrageous statements to see what reaction he would arouse from his students. Jeffrey Archer
We cheated, you and me, and someone noticed. I noticed you; someone else noticed me. It hurts us. That's not so bad. So many people cheat. Everywhere on every level. Everyone's cheated. I'm just saying that you don't need to see yourself as a cheater. Because that's not who you are. You're someone who cheated. There's a difference, and you should try to get that difference, or that's who you'll grow up to be. Anne Lamott
L. M. Montgomery quote: "All things great are wound up with all things little."
All things great are wound up with all things little. L. M. Montgomery
The Lazio fans always stop [at the bakery] on their way home from the stadium to stand in the street for hours, leaning up against their motorcycles, talking about the game, looking macho as anything, and eating cream puffs. I love Italy. Elizabeth Gilbert
I believe the Savior is telling us that unless we lose ourselves in service to others, there is little purpose to our own lives. Those who live only for themselves eventually shrivel up and figuratively lose their lives, while those who lose themselves in service to others grow and flourish—and in effect save their lives. Thomas S. Monson
Robert Asprin quote: "Don't pick up hitchhikers!"- D. Adams"
Don't pick up hitchhikers!"- D. Adams Robert Asprin
It was still mild when they walked home from the party, and Irene looked up at the spring stars. "How far that little candle throws its beams," she exclaimed. "So shines a good dead in a naughty world. John Cheever
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "Some moments are perfect, and then someone comes along and..."
Some moments are perfect, and then someone comes along and f*cks it up. Ain't it always the way. Laurell K. Hamilton
Leo Tolstoy quote: "Lay me down like a stone oh God, and raise me up like a new..."
Lay me down like a stone oh God, and raise me up like a new bread". Leo Tolstoy
Summer in the trees! “It is time to strangle several bad poets.” / The yellow hobbyhorse rocks to and fro, and from the chimney / Drops the Strangler! The white and pink roses are slightly agitated by the struggle, / But afterwards beside the dead “poet” they cuddle up comfortingly against their vase. They are safer now, no one will compare them to the sea. / Here on the railroad train, one more time, is the Strangler. / He is going to get that one there, who is on his way to a poetry... Kenneth Koch
Jorge Luis Borges quote: "The dictionary is based on the hypothesis -- obviously an..."
The dictionary is based on the hypothesis -- obviously an unproven one -- that languages are made up of equivalent synonyms. Jorge Luis Borges
