Nowadays to be intelligible is to be found out.

And so must learn to love with our mouths and voices, as well as with our eyes, flesh, heart, brains, and with everything we have, right down to our toenails. There is not anything about us that cannot love, and that is not called to love, and that is not destined to be turned, conformed, and reduced to pure love. It ...is the priceless deposit left by the burning away of selfishness.

Mike Mason

... as we travel again between life and death, Waking and dream, blinking, while layers within layers,None better, none worse, unravel and knit up before us . . .

Jay Woodman

Wearing overalls on weekdays, painting somebody else's house to earn money? You're working class. Wearing overalls at weekends, painting your own house to save money? You're middle class.

Lawrence Sutton

Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world, a mother's love is not.

James Joyce, A Portrait of the A

Whatever thing the mind can imagine, the eyes can see, the hands will soon handle.

Ogwo David Emenike

You send a boy to school in order to make friends - the right sort.

Virginia Woolf

We seldom call anybody lazy, but such as we reckon inferior to us, and of whom we expect some service.

Bernard Mandeville

I love Johnny Cash, and I respect Johnny Cash. He's the biggest. He's like an Elvis in this business, but no, he's never been the rebel.

Waylon Jennings

Girls, like men, want to be petted, pitied, and made much of, when they are diffident, in low spirits, or in unrequited love. These are services which the weak cannot render to the strong and which the strong will not render to the weak, except when there is also a difference of sex.

George Bernard Shaw, An Unsocial

America and its demons, Europe and its ghost.

Le Monde

It is most important in creative science not to give up. If you are an optimist you will be willing to try more than if you are a pessimist.

Stanislaw Ulam

It is the tale, not he who tells it.

Stephen King
