I love order. It's my dream. A world where all would be silent and still, and each thing in its last place, under the last dust. Samuel Beckett
On an individual level, the human condition changed day by day, even hour by hour, and while you were soaking in self-pity over a misfortune, you might miss an opportunity for a redeeming triumph. And for every act of inhumanity, the species managed to committ a hundred acts of kindness; so if you were the type to brood, you would be more sensible if you dwelt on the remarkable goodwill with which most people treated others even in a society where the cultural elites routinely mocked virtue... Dean Koontz

I live on an island called Ireland where most of the music is shite. I grew up listening to "Danny Boy"; I grew up hating Danny Boy, and all his siblings and his granny. "The pipes, the pipes are caw-haw-hawing." Anything with pipes or fiddles or even - forgive me, Paul - banjos, I detested. Songs of loss, of love, of going across the sea; songs of defiance and rebellion - I vomited on all of them. Roddy Doyle

I know that when a supersexy older girl with hips and breasts and nice hair wants to take off your glasses and to paint you a smoky eye she's merely trying to enroll you in a beauty contest she's already won. It's a kind of slummy, condescending gesture, like when rich people ask poor people where they summer. To me, this smacks of a blatant, insensitive "let them eat cake" type of chauvinism. Chuck Palahniuk
Thomas More: Will, I'd trust you with my life. But not your principles. You see, we speak of being anchored to our principles. But if the weather turns nasty you up with an anchor and let it down where there's less wind, and the fishing's better. And "Look," we say, "look, I'm anchored! To my principles! Robert Bolt

The room was a world, a pocket of the past where extinct animals could walk George Orwell
I am climbing to my freedom, freedom from fear, freedom from marrying the wrong person, like Buddy Willard, just because of sex, freedom from the Florence Crittenden Homes where all the poor girls go who should have been fitted out like me, because what they did, they would do anyway.. Sylvia Plath
I'm losing myself trying to compete. With everyone else instead of just being me. Don't know where to turn. I've been stuck in this routine. I need to change my ways. Instead of always being weak. I don't wanna be afraid. I wanna wake up feeling beautiful today. And know that I'm okay'Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways. You see, I just wanna believe in me Demi Lovato
Michael Ondaatje quote: " the desert, where there is the communal book of moonlight. We..."
... the desert, where there is the communal book of moonlight. We were among the rumour of wells. In the palace of winds. Michael Ondaatje
