Not a moment passes these days without fresh rushes of academic lemmings off the cliffs they proclaim the political responsibilities of the critic, but eventually all this moralizing will subside. Harold Bloom
I looked into his sandy brown eyes, at one with the hair. At the business- like outward presentation of the man who daily printed sneers, innuendo, distrust and spite and spoke without showing a trace of them. 'Off the record,' I said,'bash his face in'. Dick Francis
And yet, he had this: the ability to make you believe in him and want to fight for him because, without any reservation, he believed in you in a way you did not yet believe in yourself. John Edwards
Joyce Carol Oates quote: "Which is why we say I can't live without you meaning your life..."
Which is why we say I can't live without you meaning your life gives life to me, who am otherwise an empty vessel, nameless. Joyce Carol Oates

We couldn't get along without him. We needed Johnny as much as he needed the gang. And for the same reason. S. E. Hinton
But the most dangerous thing in the world in the world is to run the risk of waking up one morning and realizing suddenly that all this time you've been living without really and truly living and by then it's too late. When you wake up to that kind of realization, it's too late for wishes and regrets. It's even too late to dream. Kinky Friedman
