| 577058f | There's a boy who they call Pony! He's always acting gross and horny! He thinks he's got a lot down there, but he sure wears tiny underwear! | Cecily von Ziegesar | ||
| e5d81d9 | Words and emotions are simple currencies. If we inflate them, they lose their value, just like money. They begin to mean nothing. Use 'beautiful' to describe a sandwich and the word means nothing. Since the war, there is no more room for inflated language. Words and feelings are small now - clear and precise. Humble like dreams. | Jess Walter | ||
| d95f9a7 | He found himself in habiting the vast, empty plateau where most people live, between boredom and contentment. | Jess Walter | ||
| 60793db | I am walking forever on the path from the border to base camp. It is taking a long time, and I know it will take even longer to get back. There is no one with me. I am all by myself. The trees are not trees the birds are not birds and I am not me but just something that has been walking for a very long time... | Jeff VanderMeer | ||
| 1511d48 | And smiles to go before I weep, And Smiles to go before I weep. | Jerry Spinelli | ||
| ce041d5 | People learn from their failures. Seldom do they learn anything from success." It's" | Ryan Holiday | ||
| b4d0f35 | Over the past 10,000 years, Homo sapiens has grown so accustomed to being the only human species that it's hard for us to conceive of any other possibility. Our lack of brothers and sisters makes it easier to imagine that we are the epitome of creation, and that a chasm separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. When Charles Darwin indicated that Homo sapiens was just another kind of animal, people were outraged. Even today many refu.. | Yuval Noah Harari | ||
| c2c6572 | Everything is in constant flux on this earth. Nothing keeps the same unchanging shape, and our affections, being attached to things outside us, necessarily change and pass away as they do. Always out ahead of us or lagging behind, they recall a past which is gone or anticipate a future which may never come into being; there is nothing solid there for the heart to attach itself to. Thus our earthly joys are almost without exception the creat.. | Jean-Jacques Rousseau | ||
| a4dcb69 | There is no evildoer who could not be made good for something. | Jean Jacques Rousseau | ||
| 597a697 | Nature made me happy and good, and if I am otherwise, it is society's fault. | Jean-Jacques Rousseau | ||

| b3cd79a | You damn morphodite, I'll kill you! | Harper Lee | ||
| 705c22a | The Spirit is both a builder and a dweller. He cannot dwell where he has not built; He builds to dwell and dwells in only what he has built. | Watchman Nee | ||
| 9aafa78 | One has never said better how much "humanism", "normality", "quality of life" were nothing but the vicissitudes of profitability." | Jean Baudrillard | ||
| bc5f2de | We will live in this world, which for us has all the disquieting strangeness of the desert and of the simulacrum, with all the veracity of living phantoms, of wandering and simulating animals that capital, that has made of us--because the desert of cities is equal to the desert of sand--the jungle of signs is equal to that of the forests--the vertigo of simulacra is equal to that of nature--only the vertiginous seduction of a dying system.. | Jean Baudrillard | ||
| 2cabb56 | And he who wields white, wild magic gold is a paradox For he is everything and nothing Hero and fool Potent, helpless And with one word of truth or treachery He will save or damn the earth Because he is mad and sane Cold and passionate Lost and found | choice conflict paradox | Stephen R. Donaldson | |
| 0b823c3 | Any man who barely sustains an armistice with himself has no business poking around in an alien soul. | Glen Cook | ||
| b5294c5 | The vocation of each writer is to describe the world as he or she sees it; anything more than that is advertising. | Hanif Kureishi | ||
| ed322fb | Instead of bringing back 1600 plants, we might return from our journeys with a collection of small unfeted but life-enhancing thoughts. | thoughts travel | Alain de Botton | |
| 1299bed | We believe we are seeking happiness in love, but what we are really after is familiarity. We are looking to re-create, within our adult relationships, the very feelings we knew so well in childhood and which were rarely limited to just tenderness and care. The love most of us will have tasted early on came entwined with other, more destructive dynamics: feelings of wanting to help an adult who was out of control, of being deprived of a pare.. | familiarity love relationships | Alain de Botton | |
| de7bc57 | They say that even the brightest star won't shine forever. But in fact, the brightest star would live the shortest amount of time. Feel free to extract whatever life lesson you want from that. | Philip C. Plait | ||
| 868dae6 | The best time to cry is at night, when the lights are out and someone is being beaten up and screaming for help. | Walter Dean Myers | ||
| 5c00806 | I am neither Christian enough nor charitable enough to like anybody just because he is alive and breathing. I want people to interest or amuse me. I want them fascinating and witty or so dull as to be different. I want them either intellectually stimulating or wonderfully corny; perfectly charming or hundred percent stinker. I like my chosen companions to be distinguishable from the undulating masses and I don't care how. | Betty MacDonald | ||
| a994609 | You don't have to talk to someone to think about them and check up on them now and again. | Emily Giffin | ||

| 3464c43 | The dead man is on the trolley and the woman collapses across his chest. That's what the ghouls want a shufti at, like at that Princess Diana's funeral, they want to scrutinise those who really knew her, to drink the misery out of their faces. | misery | Irvine Welsh | |
| 2a75fd7 | Gillman smiles, in the cold manner of an assassin. It's like looking in the mirror. | coldness mirror reflection | Irvine Welsh | |
| 21cb352 | You just want tae fuck up on drugs so that everyone'll think how deep and fucking complex you are. It's pathetic, and fucking boring. | Irvine Welsh | ||

| 7881d1d | How very kind of her, ' I said. 'I must remember to send her a card.' I'd send her a card alright. It would be the Ace of Spades, and I'd mail it anonymously from somewhere other than Bishop's Lacey. | revenge | Alan Bradley | |
| 7d9eef8 | Farts come from no one and nowhere; they are anonymous emanations that belong to the group as a whole, and even when every person in the room can point to the culprit, the only sane course of action is denial. | Paul Auster | ||

| 9adaee3 | I can't believe it's you. Wait, why does my chart say Randy Johnson?" Reid chuckled at the ridiculous name he used for anonymity. "It's an alias." Wanting to erase the pained look from whatever had happened before he arrived, he gave her a wicked smile and added, "And sometimes a state of being." Her brows gathered together for the few seconds it took to sink in, then her cheeks flushed with color and her eyes grew wide. "Reid!" | Gina L. Maxwell | ||
| addaac3 | Do you know what Albert Einstein's definition of insanity was? | misattributed-to-einstein paraphrasing-narcotics-anonymous | Christian Cantrell | |
| af9e078 | I am resolutely opposed to all innovation, all change, but I am determined to understand what's happening. Because I don't choose just to sit and let the juggernaut roll over me. Many people seem to think that if you talk about something recent, you're in favor of it. The exact opposite is true in my case. Anything I talk about is almost certainly something I'm resolutely against. And it seems to me the best way to oppose it is to understan.. | innovation | Marshall McLuhan | |
| e526895 | I am increasingly afflicted by vertigo where words mean nothing | Doris Lessing | ||
| 550a574 | Is there a single person on whom I can press belief? No sir. All I can do is say, Here's how it went. Here's what I saw. I've been there and am going back. Make of it what you will. | Leif Enger | ||
