| cda1848 | A drunk mind speaks a sober heart, | Emily Giffin | ||
| e23c7c4 | You would have me burn your enemies for the glory of your kingdom, little fleck? In a thousand years Tadroth will be only a legend. In two thousand, even the legend will be forgotten. When you and all you make are dust in a grave, only I will remain. Why should I care how many kings rule this land for a season? Why should I care if your Serian lives or dies? | David G. Hartwell | ||
| 3873dc6 | When one has the means of getting everything, one winds up giving in to personal demons. | David G. Hartwell | ||

| 7b1236a | There are two things in the world, as I have found out, which cannot be prevented: you cannot keep a Zulu from fighting, or a sailor from falling in love upon the slightest provocation! | H. Rider Haggard | ||
| 9d99963 | My empire is of the imagination. | H. Rider Haggard | ||
| 4ed2b91 | Ignosi bound the diadem upon his brows. Then advancing, he placed his foot upon the broad chest of his headless foe and broke out into a chant, or rather a paean of triumph, so beautiful, and yet so utterly savage, that I despair of being able to give an adequate version of his words. Once I heard a scholar with a fine voice read aloud from the Greek poet Homer, and I remember that the sound of the rolling lines seemed to make my blood stan.. | H. Rider Haggard | ||
| 16d3342 | What is imagination? Perhaps it is the shadow of the intangible truth, perhaps it is the soul's thought. | H. Rider Haggard | ||
| 21cb1d7 | I let him run on awhile, reflecting to myself how easy we find it to be hard on the weaknesses of others, and how tender we are to our own. | H. Rider Haggard | ||
| f5c151c | Life is not worth the trouble of life, except when one in love. | H. Rider Haggard | ||
| aa18eee | Who has not in his great grief felt a longing to look upon the outward features of the universal Mother; to lie on the mountains and watch the clouds drive across the sky and hear the rollers break in thunder on the shore, to let his poor struggling life mingle for a while in her life; to feel the slow beat of her eternal heart, and to forget his woes, and let his identity be swallowed in the vast imperceptibly moving energy of her of whom .. | H. Rider Haggard | ||

| 720d493 | The great wheel of fate rolls on like a Juggernaut, and crushes us all in turn, some soon, some late - it does not matter when, in the end, it crushes us all. | H. Rider Haggard | ||
| e4ac571 | At the approach of evening we marched again, and, to cut a long story short, by daylight next morning found ourselves upon the lowest slopes of Sheba's left breast, for which we had been steadily steering. | H. Rider Haggard | ||
| 0f5e9e3 | Ah! if man would but see that hope is from within and not from without--that he himself must work out his own salvation! He is there, and within him is the breath of life and a knowledge of good and evil as good and evil is to him. Thereon let him build and stand erect, and not cast himself before the image of some unknown God, modelled like his poor self, but with a bigger brain to think the evil thing, and a longer arm to do it. | H. Rider Haggard | ||
| 091acc2 | The true lessons to be learned from Albert Speer are those that help us to recognize the Albert Speers living amongst us. | world-war-ii | Geetanjali Mukherjee | |
| 4042da5 | Victor said, 'I'm going to take this axe and I'm going to hack off one of your hands. The blade is dull and I couldn't find a whetstone so it might take a couple of blows to do the job, so you'll need to be patient. The pain and the fear will be like nothing you've ever experienced, but the horror of watching the stump where your wrist used to be spray blood everywhere is going to be like nothing you can even imagine. At that point you won'.. | Tom Wood | ||
| da1574c | Po tom, co se stalo, divali se snad lide z kraje jinyma ocima na lidi z lesnich lazu? Dalo by se to predpokladat, ale lide takovi nejsou - alespon ne v tamejsim kraji. Pokladali pro sebe za hanbu, ze ten clovek ze severu byl tak odvazny a ze dokonce polozil zivot za zneskodneni medveda posedleho dablem. Jeho odvaha byla pro ne pohanou a v malichernych dusickach pocit hanby plodi nenavist. A tak to nemohlo dopadnout jinak, nez ze muzi z kra.. | Trygve Gulbranssen | ||

| 980cdf2 | Memory is threatening to replace history in an era saturated with memory. This is bad news. Memory and history are notionally opposites: memory is individual, partial and subjective; history is collective and aspires to be comprehensive and objective. Memory and history are also complementary: history gives sense to memory; memory is a tool, an ingredient, a part of history. But memory is not history. | Javier Cercas | ||

| 29e4c04 | Es usted demasiado joven para pensar en tener hijos -me dijo el padre de Rodney cuando nos despediamos, y no lo he olvidado-. No los tenga, porque se arrepentira; aunque si no los tiene tambien se arrepentira. Asi es la vida: haga lo que haga, se arrepentira. Pero dejeme que le diga una cosa: todas las historias de amor son insensatas, porque el amor es una enfermedad; pero tener un hijo es arriesgarse a una historia de amor tan insensata q.. | Javier Cercas | ||
| 8437095 | comportamiento de un heroe hay casi siempre algo ciego, irracional, instintivo, algo que esta en su naturaleza y a lo que no puede escapar. Ademas, se puede ser una persona decente durante toda una vida, pero no se puede ser sublime sin interrupcion, y por eso el heroe solo lo es excepcionalmente, en un momento o, a lo sumo, en una temporada de locura o inspiracion. | Javier Cercas | ||
| ccb9c1f | I am writing this as a profession of faith: I believe in a divine providence; I also believe in God's wisdom and goodness; I trust in his ways, even though they may seem matters of chance. It is not the mighty of the earth who determine the course of history. They think they are the movers, and they are moved. | Albert Speer | ||

| 4dfe902 | It was about people whose mental diseases couldn't be treated because the causes of the diseases were all in the fourth dimension, and three-dimensional Earthling doctors couldn't see those causes at all, or even imagine them.

So was William Blake, Rosewater's fa.. | Kurt Vonnegut | ||

| aea928f | Because all such things are aspects of the holomovement, he feels it has no meaning to speak of consciousness and matter as interacting. In a sense, the observer is the observed. The observer is also the measuring device, the experimental results, the laboratory, and the breeze that blows outside the laboratory. In fact, Bohm believes that consciousness is a more subtle form of matter, and the basis for any relationship between the two lies.. | Michael Talbot | ||

| 9e87616 | Art is neither good nor bad, but a clairvoyant vision of the nature of both, and any attempt to align it with morality, otherwise known as bowdlerizing,is intolerably vulgar...Unimaginative realism evokes only the smug pleasure of recognition.the painter becomes popular because he assures everyone else that he sees no more than they see...Art is suggestive rather than explicit: it makes no attempt to persuade into general agreement or provi.. | Northrop Frye | ||
