I might as well enquire,” replied she, “why with so evident a design of offending and insulting me, you chose to tell me that you liked me against your will, against your reason, and even against your character? Jane Austen
It occurs to me to wonder: do I believe in any god, or even positively not believe, as James does? I believe in systems and methods. I believe in the beauties of philosophy and poetry. I believe that the work we do and leave behind us is our afterlife; and I believe that history lies, but sometimes so well that I can't bring myself to resent it.

If you want to interpret well and confidently, set Christ before you, for He is the man to whom it all applies, every bit of it. Martin Luther
You know, when one's in love,' I said, 'and things go all wrong, one's terribly unhappy and one thinks one won't ever get over it. But you'll be astounded to learn what the sea will do.' What do you mean?' she smiled. Well, love isn't a good sailor and it languishes on a sea voyage. You'll be surprised when you have the Atlantic between you and Larry to find how slight the pang is that before you sailed seemed intolerable. W. Somerset Maugham
Richard Adams quote: "I think we ought to do all we can to make these creatures..."
I think we ought to do all we can to make these creatures friendly. It might turn out to be well worth the trouble. Richard Adams
What else? I also believe that if someone comes up behind you on the freeway and flashes their lights to get you to move into the slow lane, they deserve whatever punishment you dole out to them. I promptly slow down and drive at the same speed as the car beside me so that I can punish Speed Racer for his impertinence. Actually, it’s not the impertinence I’m punishing him for, it’s that he let other people know what he wanted. Speed Racer, my friend, never ever let people know what you... Doug Coupland

Not only the thirsty seek the water, the water as well seeks the thirsty. Rumi
Francis Bacon quote: "It is a sad fate for a man to die too well known to everybody..."
It is a sad fate for a man to die too well known to everybody else, and still unknown to himself. Francis Bacon
Jessamyn West quote: "Some people are always thirsting for water from other people's..."

I couldn't be fonder of you if you were my own son. But, well, if you lose a son, its possible to get another. There's only one Maltese Falcon. (Kasper Gutman) Dashiell Hammett
This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in? an interesting hole I find myself in? fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright,... Douglas Adams
Charlotte Bronte quote: "Come, Miss Jane, don’t cry,' said Bessie…She might as well..."
Come, Miss Jane, don’t cry,' said Bessie…She might as well have said to the fire, ‘don’t burn! Charlotte Bronte
The road now stretched across open country, and it occured to me - not by way of protest, not as a symbol, or anything like that, but merely as a novel experience - that since I had disregarded all laws of humanity, I might as well disregard the rules of traffic. So I crossed to the left side of the highway and checked the feeling, and the feeling was good. It was a pleasant diaphragmal melting, with elements of diffused tactility, all this enhanced by the thought that nothing could be nearer... Vladimir Nabokov
