Thomas Hardy quote: "The world is as it used to be:"
The world is as it used to be: Thomas Hardy
Way far back in the beginning of the world was the whirlwind warning that we could all be blown away like chips and cry- Men with tired eyes realize it now, and wait to deform and decay- with maybe they have the power of love yet in their hearts just the same, I just don't know what that word means anymore- All I want is an ice cream cone Jack Kerouac
Dennis Hopper quote: "In a world where the dead have returned to life, the word"..."
In a world where the dead have returned to life, the word" trouble' loses much of its meaning. Dennis Hopper
Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still. For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent.

This is the comfort of friends, that though they may be said to die, yet their friendship and society are, in the best sense, ever present, because immortal. William Penn
[A]s soon as you try and take a song from your mind into piano and voice and into the real world, something gets lost and it's like a moment where, in that moment you forget how it was and it's this new way. And then when you make a record, even those ideas that you had, then those get all turned and changed.

I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you might nudge the world a little or make a poem that children will speak for you when you are dead. Tom Stoppard
Every time I read to her, it was like I was courting her, because sometimes, just sometimes, she would fall in love with me again, just like she had a long time ago. And that's the most wonderful feeling in the world. How many people are ever given that chance? To have someone you love fall in love with you over and over? Nicholas Sparks
Do you know what hurts so very much? It's love. Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain. There are two things we can do when this happens. We can kill that love so that it stops hurting. But then of course part of us dies, too. Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel. Corrie Ten Boom
In this dirty minded world, you are either someone's wife or someone's whore. And if you're not either people think there is something wrong with you....but there is nothing wrong with me John Irving
J. D. Salinger quote: "If you had a million years to do it in, you couldn't rub out..."
If you had a million years to do it in, you couldn't rub out even half the "Fuck you" signs in the world. It's impossible. J. D. Salinger
Vladimir Nabokov quote: "There is nothing so banal in the world,' said Ada 'than..."
There is nothing so banal in the world,' said Ada 'than pitching stones at a hawfinch. Vladimir Nabokov
All facts are. In a world where everythingis given and nothing is explained, the fecundity of a value or of ametaphysic is a notion devoid of meaning. Albert Camus
R wrote Delahaye about all that had happened to him and about what he, R, wanted: My friend, You’re eating white flour and mud in your pigsty. I don’t miss Charleville. I don’t miss being a bored pig where the sun dries up all brains but sloth. Your brains or feelings’re being dried up: dead pig Delahaye. Emotions are the movers of this world. Me: I’m thirsty. What I’m thirsty for—whom I’m thirsty for—I can’t get so I drink poisons. I’ve got to free myself. From what? Pain? Oh—for more... Kathy Acker

Now we can both be "cool." Calvin: A sombrero?! Are you crazy?! Cool people don't wear sombreros! Hobbes: What fun is it being cool if you can't wear a sombrero? Bill Watterson
