I have an instinct that the power that rules us, human beings, animals and things, is a dark and cruel power and that everything has to be paid for, a power that demands an eye for an eye and a tooth for a... W. Somerset Maugham
There is too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will. I must concede you the Devil. God doesn't really need to punish us, Miss Barton. We're so busy punishing ourselves. Agatha Christie
There is little consolation in the fact that millions of people are unhappier than we are. Why should other people's misery make us happier or more content? Azar Nafisi
Let us cross the river to the other side and rest beneath the shade of the trees. [Stonwall Jackson just before passing into eternity in 1863.] Stonewall Jackson
The war is in the mountains,” he said. “For as long as I can remember, they have killed us in the cities with decrees, not with bullets. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Life got in the way -- two years in the army, work, marriage, family responsibilities, the need to earn more and more money, all the muck that bogs us down when we don't have the balls to stand up for ourselves -- but I had never lost my interest in books. Paul Auster

There are too many of us and we are all too far apart. Kurt Vonnegut
Some people are like that - closed - they can't learn from anyone. Us, for example, we can't learn anything, neither I from you nor you from me, nor from anyone, nor from anything, nor from what happens. Marguerite Duras
