Margaret Atwood quote: "They will not let you have peace, they don't want you to have..."
They will not let you have peace, they don't want you to have anything they don't have themselves. Margaret Atwood
And here is the shocking plot twist: as farmers produced those extra calories, the food industry figured out how to get them into the bodies of people who didn't really want to eat 700 more calories a day. Barbara Kingsolver
She wanted to return to her dream. Perhaps it was still somewhere there behind her closed eyelids. Perhaps a little of its happiness still clung like gold dust to her lashes. Don't dreams in fairy tales sometimes leave a token behind? Cornelia Funke
His rage passes description - the sort of rage that is only seen when rich folk that have more than they can enjoy suddenly lose something that they have long had but have never before used or wanted. J. R. R. Tolkien
Men always want to be a woman’s first love. That is their clumsy vanity. We women have a more subtle instinct about these things. What (women) like is to be a man’s last romance. Oscar Wilde
Here is the trap you are in.... And it's not my trap—I haven't trapped you. Because abortions are illegal, women who need and want them have no choice in the matter, and you—because you know how to perform them—have no choice, either. What has been violated here is your freedom of choice, and every woman's freedom of choice, too. If abortion was legal, a woman would have a choice—and so would you. You could feel free not to do it because someone else would. But the way it is, you're trapped.... John Irving
There is nothing like suspense and anxiety for barricading a human's mind against the Enemy. He wants men to be concerned with what they do; our business is to keep them thinking about what will happen to them. C. S. Lewis
The kakapo is a bird out of time. If you look one in its large, round, greeny-brown face, it has a look of serenely innocent incomprehension that makes you want to hug it and tell it that everything will be all right, thought you know that it probably will not be. Douglas Adams
It's okay to be happy, it's okay to live your life exactly the way you want it... It's okay to find what makes you happy and then to fight for it. To dedicate your life to discovering who you are. Derrick Jensen
Art stands on the shoulders of craft, which means that to get to the art, you must master the craft. If you want to write, practice writing. Ann Patchett
Business people - Your business - is your greatest prejudice: it ties you to your locality, to the company you keep, to the inclinations you feel. Diligent in business - but indolent in spirit, content with your inadequacy, and with the cloak of duty hung over this contentment: that is how you live, that is how you want your children to live! Friedrich Nietzsche
Nor is there wanting in the press. Some spirit to stand simply forth, Heroic in it nakedness, Against the uttermost of earth. The tale of earth's unhonored things. Sounds nobler there than 'neath the sun; And the mind whirls and the heart sings, And a shout greets the daring one. Robert Frost
Rainer Maria Rilke quote: "It was not in me It came and went. I wanted to hold it It was..."
It was not in me It came and went. I wanted to hold it It was held by wine(I no longer know what it was) Rainer Maria Rilke
Lord Melbourne quote: "That is no use at all. What I want is men who will support me..."
That is no use at all. What I want is men who will support me when I am in the wrong. Lord Melbourne
