| a54e037 | Its meaning is whatever reaction it provokes in the reader, and so far as I am concerned there is no given 'right' reaction. | John Fowles | ||
| 02fc613 | My only plea is that all artists have to range the full extent of their own lives freely. The rest of the world can censor and bury their private past. We cannot, and so have to remain partly green till the day we die... callow-green in the hope of becoming fertile-green. | John Fowles | ||
| 904fd97 | Era inutil. Ella habia matado todo romance entre los dos, y se habia convertido en una mujer cualquiera para mi. Como las demas. Ya habia dejado de respetarla; ya nada quedaba de respetar en ella. | secuestro | John Fowles | |
| 8d53182 | Comprendo que soy terriblemente cobarde. No quiero morir, porque amo la vida apasionadamente. !Nunca habia sabido hasta hoy cuanta es mi ansia de vivir! Si consigo librarme de este infierno, jamas podre volver a ser lo que era antes. | encierro muerte secuestro vida | John Fowles | |
| 6710eef | Time for "Change" has come. | Andreas Papandreou | ||
| c04ad47 | I know what I am to him. A butterfly he has always wanted to catch. I remember (the very fisrt time i met him) G.P. saying that collectors were the worst animals of all. He meant art collectors, of course. I didn't really understand, I thought he was just trying to shock Caroline - and me. But of course, he is right. They're anti-life, anti-art, anti-everything. | John Fowles | ||

He estado asi todo el dia. Se apodera de mi una especie de panico, lento, lentisimo... ?Que pudo haber pensado el cuando me encerro aqui? | John Fowles | ||
| fe3d502 | Man is a highly acquisitive creature, brainwashed by most modern societies into believing that the act of acquisition is more enjoyable than the fact of having acquired, that getting beats having got. | John Fowles | ||

| 73439f5 | They're teaching you to express personality at the Slade - personality in general. But however good you get at translating personality into line or paint it's no go if your personality isn't worth translating. It | John Fowles | ||
| 76adc12 | He got up and said, I think you've got something in you. I don't know. Women very rarely have. I mean most women just want to be good at something, they've got good-at minds, and they mean deftness and a flair and good taste and what-not. They can't ever understand that if your desire is to go to the furthest limits of yourself then the actual form your art takes doesn't seem important to you. Whether | John Fowles | ||
| da20778 | Ordinary experience, from waking second to second, is in fact highly synthetic (in the sense of combinative or constructive), and made of a complexity of strands, past memories and present perceptions, times and places, private and public history, hopelessly beyond science's powers to analyse. It is quintessentially 'wild' ... unphilosophical, irrational uncontrollable, incalculable. | phenomenology science | John Fowles | |
| 341f957 | it's rather like your voice. You put up with your voice and speak with it because you haven't any choice. But it's what you say that counts. It's what distinguishes all great art from the other kind. The technically accomplished buggers are two a penny in any period. Especially in this great age of universal education. He | John Fowles | ||
| 5d8b3ec | I remember later he said (Professor Higgins again), you don't really stand a dog's chance anyhow. You're too pretty. The art of love's your line: not the love of art. | John Fowles | ||

| 2c461eb | Pastor Madison looked steadily at the jurors, cleared his throat and started to read. "Marriage is what brings us together today. Where did the idea of marriage come from? What is marriage? Does marriage have any purpose in this modern age? Is it really a blessed arrangement? Why shouldn't anyone, or any group of someones, be allowed to marry? Is marriage in danger of extinction? These are all questions, along with others, that we .. | John Price | ||

| a0ff7f7 | 2} Neither did I but vacant seasons spend In this my scribble; nor did I intend But to divert myself in doing this From worser thoughts which make me do amiss. Thus, I set pen to paper with delight, And quickly had my thoughts in black and white. For, having now my method by the end, Still as I pulled, it came; and so I penned It down: until it came at last to be, For length and breadth, the bigness which you see. Well, when I had thus put .. | John Bunyan | ||
| 655d0a4 | From the hills behind, came the solitary voice of a girl. She must have been bringing down the goats, and she was singing wildly. At the limit of her uninhibited voice, without any recognizable melody in Turkish Muslim intervals. It sounded disembodied, of place, not person. I remembered having heard a similar voice, perhaps this same girl's, singing one day on the hill behind the school. It had drifted down the hill into the classroom, and.. | John Fowles | ||

| 6287424 | In our country the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State. | Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn | ||
| 6e7bff4 | But everything beyond what he pays for and sees himself get is suspicious to him. He doesn't believe in any other world but the one he lives in and sees. He's the one in prison; in his own hateful narrow present world. | John Fowles | ||
| 4da3b61 | And yes, he had more dignity than I did then and I felt small, mean. Always sneering at him, jabbing him, hating him and showing it. It was funny, we sat in silence facing each other and I had a feeling I've had once or twice before, of the most peculiar closeness to him - not love or attraction or sympathy in any way. But linked destiny. Like being shipwrecked on an island - a raft - together. In every way not wanting to be together. But t.. | John Fowles | ||
| debf42b | Beware of the waiting room." He closed the door at once, as if he had rehearsed that moment. I opened it quickly, and leaned out to call after him, "The what?" He turned, but only to give a sharp wave, the Trafalgar Square crowd swallowed him up. I couldn't get the smile on his face out of my mind, it secreted an omission. Something he'd saved up, a mysterious last word. Waiting room. Waiting room. Waiting room. It went round in my head all.. | John Fowles | ||
| 3d29fbb | So that the smile was not so much an attitude to be taken to life as the nature of the cruelty of life, a cruelty we cannot even choose to avoid, since it is human existence. | life smile | John Fowles | |
| 76a9311 | Thus began Outrage from liveless things; but Discord first Daughter of Sin, among th' irrational, Death introduc'd through fierce antipathie: Beast now with Beast gan war, & Fowle with Fowle, And Fish with Fish; to graze the Herb all leaving, Devourd each other; nor stood much in awe Of Man, but fled him, or with count'nance grim Glar'd on him passing: these were from without The growing miseries, which ADAM saw Alreadie.. | John Milton | ||

| a6e23ef | The lifeless sea was ruffled here and there by a lost zephyr, by a stippling shoal of sardines, dark ash-blue lines that snaked, broad then narrow, in slow motion across the shimmering mirageous surface, as if the water was breeding corruption. | John Fowles |
