| 709928f | I know it's none of my business, but I really wouldn't let her put you off. So you don't understand sex and love and women. Just means you were born with a cock. And this girl? Naomi? She seems like she's worth putting a little effort into it. You know?" "Yeah," Holden said. Then: "Can we never talk about that again?" "Sure." | James S.A. Corey | ||
| 064620a | In fact the total amount that a physicist knows is very little. He has only to remember the rules to get him from one place to another and he is all right... | Richard P. Feynman | ||

| 8f2d7d6 | Anybody is liable to rheumatism in her legs, Anne. It's only old people who should have rheumatism in their souls, though. Thanks goodness, I never have. When you get rheumatism in your soul you might as well go and pick out your coffin. | rheumatism soul | L.M. Montgomery | |
| c2f0ae0 | I'm going home to an old country farmhouse, once green, rather faded now, set among leafless apple orchards. There is a brook below and a December fir wood beyond, where I've heard harps swept by the fingers of rain and wind. There is a pond nearby that will be gray and brooding now. There will be two oldish ladies in the house, one tall and thin, one short and fat; and there will be two twins, one a perfect model, the other what Mrs. Lynde.. | love | L.M. Montgomery | |

| 2f5489d | But maybe everything'll go all right. In this world you've just got to hope for the best and prepare for the worst and take what ever God sends. | hope l-m-montgomery prepare | L.M. Montgomery | |
| c45262e | At that moment Marilla had a revelation. In the sudden stab of fear that pierced her very heart she realized what Anne had come to mean to her. She would have admitted that she liked Anne--nay, that she was very fond of Anne. But now she knew as she hurried wildly down the slope that Anne was dearer to her than anything else on earth | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| b71ab18 | I have a little brown cocoon of an idea that may possibly expand into a magnificent moth of fulfilment... | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| c8d8ac3 | How fair the realm Imagination opens to the view, | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| b22fafb | It was a gracious evening, full of delectable lights and shadows. In the west was a sky of mackerel clouds-crimson and amber-tinted, with long strips of apple-green sky between. Beyond was the glimmering radiance of a sunset sea, and the ceaseless voice of many waters came up from the tawny shore. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 9e530f2 | Imagination is what you need. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 075a375 | Most young men are such bores. They haven't lived long enough to learn that they are not the wonders to the world they are to their mothers. | mothers mothers-and-sons sons young-men | L.M. Montgomery | |

| c546ad7 | The eastern sky above the firs was flushed faintly pink from the reflection of the west, and Anne was wondering dreamily if the spirit of color looked like that... | spirit | L.M. Montgomery | |
| 2199858 | It must be lovely to be grown up, Marilla, when just being treated as if you were is so nice...Well, anyway, when I grow up, I'm always going to talk to little girls as if they were, too, and I'll never laugh when they use big words. | growing-up | L.M. Montgomery | |
| 6ac51b6 | The people who have nothing to lock up are the happy ones, aren't they? | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 03ef012 | Feminist effort to end patriarchal domination should be of primary concern precisely because it insists on the eradication of exploitation and oppression in the family context and in all other intimate relationships. It is that political movement which most radically addresses the person - the personal - citing the need for the transformation of self, of relationships, so that we might be better able to act in a revolutionary manner, challe.. | bell hooks | ||
| af0c579 | Within neo-colonial white supremacist capitalist patriarchy, the black male body continues to be perceived as an embodiment of bestial, violent, penis-as-weapon hypermasculine assertion. Psychohistories of white racism have always called attention to the tension between the construction of black male body as danger and the underlying eroticization that always then imagines that body as a location for transgressive pleasure. It has taken con.. | fetishism objectification | bell hooks | |

| d65a7f2 | If a book cover has raised lettering, metallic lettering, or raised metallic lettering, then it is telling the reader: To readers who do not care for such things, this lettering tells them: | marketing | Paul Collins | |
| a345caa | I know you'll probably get angry with me for that, shout, stamp your feet: "speak just for yourself and your miseries in the underground, and don't go saying 'we all.'" Excuse me, gentleman, but I am not justifying myself with this allishness. As far as I myself am concerned, I have merely carried to an extreme in my life what you have not dared to carry even halfway, and, what's more, you've taken your cowardice for good sense, and found c.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| f7f9261 | We have facts,' they say. But facts are not everything--at least half the business lies in how you interpret them! | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| fb6ea58 | Just take a look around you: Blood is flowing in rivers and in such a jolly way you'd think it was champagne. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| d6ce2ed | Well, what, what new thing can they say to me that I don't know myself? And is that the point? The point here is that--one turn of the wheel, and everything changes, and these same moralizers will be the first (I'm sure of it) to come with friendly jokes to congratulate me. And they won't all turn away from me as they do now. Spit on them all! What am I now? . What may I be tomorrow? Tomorrow I may rise from the dead and begin to live anew.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| b355109 | Can I possibly not understand myself that I'm a lost man? But--why can't I resurrect? Yes! it only takes being calculating and patient at least once in your life and--that's all! It only takes being steadfast at least once, and in an hour I can change my whole destiny! | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| d91d5ff | I've been sitting here now, and do you know what I was saying to myself? If I did not believe in life, if I were to lose faith in the woman I love, if I were to lose faith in the order of things, even if I were to become convinced, on the contrary, that everything is a disorderly, damned, and perhaps devilish chaos, if I were struck even by all the horrors of human disillusionment--still I would want to live, and as long as I have bent to t.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 788f9f4 | Hm ... yes, all is in a man's hands and he lets it all slip from cowardice, that's an axiom | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| fbc942e | On our earth we can only love sincerely with suffering and through suffering. We do not know how to love any other way and know no other love. I want to suffer so that I can love. I desire, I thirst in this moment to kiss, weeping tears, that very earth which I left and I do not desire or accept life on any other ! . . . | love suffering-of-humanity | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| d42eb2c | To a commonplace man of limited intellect, for instance, nothing is simpler than to imagine himself an original character, and to revel in that belief without the slightest misgiving. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 7811820 | In any case civilization has made mankind if not more blood-thirsty, at least more vilely, more loathsomely blood-thirsty. In old days he saw justice in bloodshed and with his conscience at peace exterminated those he thought proper. Now we do think bloodshed abominable and yet we engage in this abomination, and with more energy than ever. Which is worse? Decide that for yourselves. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| dcc2e3b | And a , undoubted grief is sometimes capable of making a solid and steadfast man even out of a phenomenally light-minded one, if only for a short time; moreover, real and true grief has sometimes even made fools more intelligent, also only for a time, of course; grief has this property. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| f505a9a | Let me add, however, that in every idea of genius or in every new human idea, or, more simply still, in every serious human idea born in anyone's brain, there is something that cannot possibly be conveyed to others, though you wrote volumes about it and spent thirty-five years in explaining your idea; something will always be left that will obstinately refuse to emerge from your head and that will remain with you for ever and you will die w.. | the-idiot | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| 2023087 | And it all flew away like a dream--even my passion, and yet it really was strong and true, but...where has it gone now? Indeed the thought occasionally flits through my head: "Didn't I go out of my mind then and spend the whole time sitting in a madhouse somewhere, and maybe I'm sitting there now--so that for me it was all a and only to this day." | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
