Wanting Quotes (page 80)

it's not the sex you think i've had. it's the sex i want. that's what you smell on me. because the more i look at you, the more i know about us both. and the more i want to have sex with you. because there's a certain kind of sex that has an element of cleansing. it's the antidote to disillusion. the counterpoison."_Eric Packer Don DeLillo

Sam [Raimi] wanted the climactic sword fight to play out as elegantly as a Fred Astaire movie and he wanted it all in one crane shot. I must have rehearsed the routine for three weeks, but when it came time to shoot, the rigors of running up and down steps, fighting with both hands, and flipping skeletons over my head was too much to pull off without cuts. After ten takes, I knew Sam was pissed off, because he yanked the bullhorn from John Cameron. Bruce Campbell

His embarassment would have pleased me, but once he recovered, there would be that awkward period that sometimes culminates in a handshake.

Since we human beings have to learn what we do, we have to start out that way, but human mindfulness begins where that wish to be the same leaves off. Ursula K. Le Guin
The central question is, is this guy right? Or is he mad? What do you, the reader, think about this? Which struck me as a properly anarchist solution. I didn't want to tell people what to think, I just wanted to tell people to think and consider some of these admittedly extreme little elements, which nevertheless do recur fairly regularly throughout human history. Alan Moore

God has matured. He is not the impulsive, bowel-less being of the Testaments - the vehement glory-monger, with His bag of cheap carny tricks and his booming voice - the fiery huckster with his burning bushes and his wonder wands. Nowadays God knows what He wants and He knows who He wants. Nick Cave
