| 2f9c15c | Os livros sao escritos devido a anos virados do avesso por ideias que nao nos libertam ate serem escritas e, ate mesmo entao, a escrita e o ultimo recurso, um resgate desesperado que pagamos para que a vida nos seja devolvida. | work success job question | Richard Bach | |
| 6d8f0a8 | Tienes idea de cuantas vidas debimos cruzar antes de que lograramos la primera idea de que hay mas en la vida que comer, luchar o alcanzar poder en la Bandada? !Mil vidas, Juan, diez mil!

| 2742d7a | Bach, Chopin, Schumann, these composers have mastered the art of listening. Richard hears Debussy's "Clair de lune," and every cell in his body has a broken heart and bare feet dancing in the moonlight. Playing Brahms is communing with God." | Lisa Genova | ||
| 32c3c36 | Your whole body, from wingtip to wingtip," Jonathan would say, other times, "is nothing more than your thought itself, in a form you can see. Break the chains of your thought, and you break the chains of your body, too...." | Richard Bach | ||
| 18d48da | He's changing. Every day more remote, protected, distant. He builds fests now for the soulmate he hasn't found, bricking wall and maze and mountain fortress, dares her to find him at the hidden center of them all Here's an A in self-protection from the one in the world he might love and who might someday love him. | love | Richard Bach | |
| 96e20da | This kind of thinking, he found, is not the way to make one's self popular with other birds. Even his parents were dismayed as Jonathan spent whole days alone, making hundreds of low-level glides, experimenting. | Richard Bach | ||
| 75340ba | Every problem has a gift for you in its hands as my man Richard Bach says. You can choose to see the curse or the gift. And this one choice will determine if your life is a success story or one big soap opera. | Jon Gordon | ||

| a8cb182 | She laughed. "All right, all right. Still want to leave for San Francisco tomorrow?" Not unless you're in a hurry. Let's stick around awhile. This excitement has put us behind in our drinking." -- | Dashiell Hammett | ||

| 7f38acf | Our friend Nunheim was filled full of .32s just about an hour after he copped the sneak on us - deader'n hell. The pills look like they come from the same gun that cut down the Wolf dame. The experts are matching 'em up now. I guess he wishes he'd stayed and talked to us. | detective | Dashiell Hammett | |
| 732a727 | Now I pass up about twenty-five or thirty thousand of honest gain because I like being a detective, like the work. And liking work makes you want to do it as well as you can. Otherwise there'd be no sense to it. That's the fix I am in. I don't know anything else, don't enjoy anything else, don't want to know or enjoy anything else. You can't weight that against any sum of money. Money's good stuff. I haven't anything against it. | Dashiell Hammett | ||

| 3556340 | Religion was the creation of fear. Knowledge destroys fear. Without fear, religion can't survive. | Michael Moorcock | ||
| 59b41ba | We live in a world where many kinds of regression dignify themselves with the mantle of progress. | Michael Moorcock | ||
| 2eb4e22 | You can love completely without complete understanding. | love | Norman MacLean | |
| ecd5724 | It is a strange and wonderful and somewhat embarrassing feeling to hold someone in your arms who is trying to detach you from the earth and you aren't good enough to follow her. | love | Norman Maclean | |
| 07f2d39 | Sunrise is the time to feel that you will be able to find out how to help somebody close to you who you think needs help even if he doesn't think so. At sunrise everything is luminous but not clear. | Norman Maclean | ||
| 4edf46c | If you push me far enough, all I really know is that he was a fine fisherman." "You know more than that," my father said. "He was beautiful." | love | Norman Maclean | |
| d68892c | Just how many pairs of black shoes do you need?" he finally asked, staring at them lined up on the floor. Okay, shoes aren't a laughing matter. I gave him a cool stare.

| c552ef8 | Nice is good. It doesn't sound exciting, but think about it. I think Mr. Perfect would be kind to kids and animals, help old ladies across the street, not insult you when your opinion is different from his. Being nice is so important it's close to being number one. | trust perfect-boyfriend nice | Linda Howard | |
| cbefd0f | Love by itself isn't enough; it's never enough. There had to be other things, such as liking and respect, or love would get worn away by the realities of everyday life. | reality-of-life | Linda Howard | |

| 65615b8 | They were like those deep-sea creatures with watery, transparent skin: you could see the soft little jerking beans of their hearts, you understood that the very thing that was supposed to protect them was the thing that made them vulnerable, and you knew you couldn't help them, so you decided to love them instead. | Kevin Brockmeier | ||
| 21ee590 | The United States has the most powerful government, with the longest reach, of any nation in history. It is also the Brokest Nation in History. Resolving that contradiction is unlikely to be pretty. | Mark Steyn | ||
| 799ec96 | It is a basic rule of life that if you reward bad behavior, you get more of it. | Mark Steyn | ||
| bac74e2 | Multicultural societies are so invested in "tolerance" that they'll tolerate the explicitly intolerant (and avowedly unicultural) before they'll tolerate anyone pointing out that intolerance." | Mark Steyn | ||
| c7c1ef3 | when you hit the expressway to Declinistan there are few exit ramps. That America's animating principles should require a defense at all is a melancholy reflection on how far we've already gone. Live free--or die from a thousand soothing caresses of nanny-state sirens. | Mark Steyn | ||
| ceb3cc1 | In the Sixties, the hippies used to say, "Never trust anyone over 30." Now all the Sixties hippies are in their sixties, and they've gone quiet about that, but it's good advice for you: never trust anyone over 30 with the societal checkbook.

| 536dbbc | The state has gradually annexed all the responsibilities of adulthood - health care, child care, care of the elderly - to the point where it's effectively severed its citizens from humanity's primal instincts, not the least the survival instinct...They corrode the citizen's sense of self-reliance to a potentially fatal degree. | Mark Steyn | ||
| 54262d9 | The continent has embraced a spiritual death long before the demographic one. In those seventeen European countries that have fallen into the "lowest-low fertility," where are the children? In a way, you're looking at them: the guy sipping espresso at a sidewalk cafe listening to his iPod, the eternal adolescent charges of the paternalistic state. The government makes the grown-up decisions and we spend our pocket money on our record collec.. | Mark Steyn |
