"Charlie Chaplin." "Charlie Parker." "Charly... from Flowers for Algernon." "Charlie Brown." -- | personalities | Richard Kadrey | |
| e2bf679 | None of the palaces in Hell come close to Lucifer's in size or beauty. Lucifer lives at the top of a literal ivory tower, miles high. You can't even see the top from the ground. The joke is that he built it that high so he can lean out the window and pound on Heaven's floor with a broom handle when he wants them to turn down the choir. | heaven-and-hell lucifer | Richard Kadrey | |

| 8fb94b3 | Once the game is over, the king and the pawn really do go back in the same box. In death they are indeed equal. But in life, we are not. In life we are a product of more than our decisions. We are the consequence of how we cope with those decisions, and too often that is fear and guilt. Don't let it be fear and guilt. | Lisa Renee Jones | ||

| 13bba88 | I'll go find us a private car and driver," Chris informs me. "You stay with the bags." I purse my lips. "Yes, Master." He arches a brow.

| 96c2550 | Memories are the enemies that never die," he says, turning away and shoving open his door, leaving me with the pain carved in those words that I am fairly certain he didn't want me to hear. But I did, and they speak to me, diving deep in my soul with the blood of my own loss, and taking root. I say I want my memories back, but I'm not so sure I really do. It's an idea I reject as I shove open my door and stand." | Lisa Renee Jones | ||

| 673cae5 | If you tell me you don't want to be with me. I will listen. I won't like it, but I'll listen. I need you to know that. But when you say you 'can't' be with me, like some obstacle out of your control is stopping you from seeing me, I'm not going to listen. | Lisa Renee Jones | ||

| 1136b04 | The precondition for thinking politically on a global scale is to see the unity of the unnecessary suffering taking place. * | John Berger | ||
| 63e2ae0 | The small family living unit lacks space, Earth, other animals, seasons, natural temperatures, and so on. The pet is either sterilized or sexually isolated, extremely limited in his exercise, deprived of almost all other animal contact, and fed with artificial foods. This is the material process which lies behind the truism the pets come to resemble their masters or mistresses. They are creatures of their owners way of life. | capitalism consumerism | John Berger | |
| f5bd6f4 | The Creationists, like all bigots, derive their fervour from rejection--the more they can reject, the more righteous they themselves feel. | creationism religion | John Berger | |
| 54ca162 | Nature is energy and struggle. It is what exists without any promise. If it can be thought of by man as an arena, a setting, it has to be thought of as one which lends itself as much to evil as to good. Its energy is fearsomely indifferent. | John Berger | ||
| 6f0f948 | Matisse bir zamanlar bir santimetre kare mavi ile ayni mavinin bir metre karesinin ayni sey olmadigini soylemisti. Alanin yayginligi tonu degistirir. Ayni sekilde, mavi bir daire ayni maviden bir kareyle ayni sey degildir. Sinirlarin sekli de tonu degistirir. Ama bu yalnizca baslangic. Her ton doku tarafindan, cevresindeki diger tonlarla goruntunun yarattigi uzam tarafindan, resmin icindeki ve uzerindeki isik tarafindan ve goruntunun cekim .. | John Berger | ||
| b6ba4ae | Democracy is a proposal (rarely realized) about decision making; it has little to do with election campaigns. Its promise is that political decisions be made after, and in the light of, consultation with the governed. This is dependent upon the governed being adequately informed about the issues in question, and upon the decision-makers having the capacity and will to listen and take account of what they have heard. Democracy should not be .. | John Berger | ||
| 26e3fc2 | We have no word for this darkness. It is not night and it is not ignorance. From time to time we all cross this darkness, seeing everything: so much everything that we can distinguish nothing. You know it, Marisa, better than I. It's the interior from which everything came. | John Berger | ||
| 0225455 | Thus painting itself had to be able to demonstrate the desirability of what money could buy. And the visual desirability of what can be bought lies in its tangibility, in how it will reward the touch, the hand, of the owner. | John Berger | ||
| cb45105 | All publicity works upon anxiety. The sum of everything is money, to get money is to overcome anxiety. Alternatively the anxiety on which publicity plays is the fear that having nothing you will be nothing. | John Berger | ||
| a83ae32 | Having seen this reproduction, one can go to the National Gallery to look at the original and discover what the reproduction lacks. Alternatively one can forget about the quality of the reproduction and simply be reminded, when one sees the original, that it is a famous painting of which somewhere one has already seen a reproduction. But in either case the uniqueness of the original now lies in it being the original of a reproduction. | John Berger | ||
| 5fdd5a0 | For the first time ever, images of art have become ephemeral, ubiquitous, insubstantial, available, valueless, free. They surround us in the same way as a language surrounds us. They have entered the mainstream of life over which they no longer, in themselves, have power. Yet very few people are aware of what has happened because the means of reproduction are used nearly all the time to promote the illusion that nothing has changed except t.. | John Berger | ||
| 59dc44c | Capitalism survives by forcing the majority, whom it exploits, to define their interests as narrowly as possible.This was once achieved by extensive deprivation. Today in the developed countries it is being achieved by imposing a false standard of what is and is not desirable. | John Berger | ||
| 1ad49a1 | The real question is: to whom does the meaning of the art of the past properly belong ? To those who can app|y it to their own lives, or to a cultural hierarchy of relic specialtsts? | John Berger | ||
| 9c8a7f7 | The urge to destroy is also a creative urge. It is worth comparing this famous text of Bakunin's with one of Picasso's most famous remarks about his own art. 'A painting', he said, 'is a sum of destructions. | John Berger | ||

| 3c598f7 | Yildiz kumelerni ilk kesfedip onlara ad veren oykuculerdi. Bir avuc yildiz arasina dussel bir cizgi cekince kimlik ve birer imge kazaniyordu yildizlar. Cizgiye islenmis yildizlar bir anlatiya islenmis olaylar gibiydi. Yildizlarin kume olusturdugunu duslemek kuskusuz ne yildizlari ne de onlari ceviren kara boslugu degistirdi. Degistirdigi sey insanlarin geceleyin gogu okuma bicimiydi. | John Berger | ||
