[He Must Have Given Up On Image Making Because His Eyes Had Failed To See Something They Had Yearned For; His Mind Had Failed To Capture Whatever It Had Hoped, And That Probing Gaze Perhaps Expressed Alarm At The Emptying Of His Vision, At The Dissolution Of The Things See, Observed, Into A Meaningless Vastness.]

Mauricio Lasansky Quotes
"Dignity is not a symbol bestowed on man, nor does the word itself possess force. Mans dignity is a force and the only modus vivendi by which man and his history survive. When mid-twentieth century Germany did not let man live and die with this right, man became an animal. No matter how technologically advanced or sophisticated, when man negates this divine right, he not only becomes self-destructive, but castrates his history and poisons our future. This is what The Nazi Drawings are about.

"Even if you know youre sleeping, youre still at the mercy of your dreams. People who are asleep cant simply decide to wake up. Nightmares dont let you off that easily. They hold you in their clutches until they decided, in their own good time, to let you go.

AJ Dalton Quotes
"Why were there no words that spoke positively about being concerned about the self? Why was there only negative connotation in terms like "selfish", "self-interested", "self-centred", "self-obsessed" and so on? Why was it so much better to be without a self: "selfless", "self-sacrificing", "self-effacing", etc?

Quotes About Tradition
"Although "
traditional marriage" was a form of slavery, I do support peoples decision to make a modern contractual agreement of commitment toward each other, especially because there are so many social and tax incentives. When I say people I mean all people regardless of race, gender, sexuality, or number of consenting adults who want to enter this union.

Quotes About Papers Funny
"I suppose I could have been nicer when I was at Columbia. I could have been polite, respectful, turned in my papers on time. Funny thing is, I knew a guy like that. English major. Loved to read. Never got in any trouble, just hung out in Butler Library reading poetry and English history. Ran into him the other day. Guy has three masters degrees, taught high school, even did a few years in the Marines. Know what he does today? He makes $9.75 an hour as a librarian.I was a jerk when I went to Columbia. But I was never a sucker.

Quotes About Bloodstream
"Males who do extreme amounts of exercise, such as professional soccer players and runners who cover more than 40 or 50 miles a week, have less LHRH, LH, and testosterone in their circulation, smaller testes, less functional sperm. They also have higher levels of glucocorticoids in their
bloodstreams, even in the absence of stress. (A similar decline in reproductive function is found in men who are addicted to opiate drugs.)

Quotes About Finding Love Fast
"The riot had taken on a beauty of its own now. Arcs of gasoline fire under the crescent moon. Crimson tracer in mystical parabolas. Phosphorescence from the barrels of plastic bullet guns. A distant yelling like that of men below decks in a torpedoed prison ship. The scarlet whoosh of Molotovs intersecting with exacting surfaces. Helicopters everywhere: their spotlights finding one another like lovers in the Afterlife.And all this through a lens of oleaginous Belfast rain.

Quotes About Envy Me
"No one is adequate to comprehending the misery of my lot! Fate obliges me to be constantly in movement: I am not permitted to pass more than a fortnight in the same place. I have no Friend in the world, and from the restlessness of my destiny I never can acquire one. Fain would I lay down my miserable life, for I envy those who enjoy the quiet of the Grave: But Death eludes me, and flies from my embrace. In vain do I throw myself in the way of danger. I plunge into the Ocean; The Waves throw me back with abhorrence upon the shore: I rush into fire; The flames recoil at my approach: I oppose myself to the fury of Banditti; Their swords become blunted, and break against my breast: The hungry Tiger shudders at my approach, and the Alligator flies from a Monster more horrible than itself. God has set his seal upon me, and all his Creatures respect this fatal mark!
