Jamie L Harding Quotes

"She did not respond, only clung harder to my embrace, and I held her with all the afflictions of a man torn by love. What a miracle she was, what a truly exquisite paragon of beauty and virtue so incredibly combined. And all perhaps wrenched from my grasp because of a war I had no real interest in nor knowledge of. In that moment I did not care who won, if only it would end and I could be with her. I would accept the whole responsibility of defeat if I had to, if only it meant a life with her by my side.I just wanted her. Needed her. As simply and clearly as one needs food and oxygen and light, I needed her in my life.And above us, flittering tranquilly in the trees above, the finches and skylarks continued to sing peacefully into the fading sun."

"Every scientist is a descendant of [Alexander von] Humboldt. We are all his family."

Janis Owens Quotes

"Grits are hot; they are abundant, and they will by-gosh stick to your ribs. Give your farmhands (that is, your children) cold cereal for breakfast and see how many rows they hoe. Make them a pot of grits and butter, and theyll hoe till dinner and be glad to do it."

Jake Weber Quotes

"My journey is about believing that people will actually stick around. Its a hard thing to believe when you dont have a prototype for it. Ive had to develop that for myself."

Stella Blum Quotes

"Fashion is so close in revealing a persons inner feelings and everybody seems to hate to lay claim to vanity so people tend to push it away. Its really too close to the quick of the soul."

TC Boyle Quotes

"But then all writers smoke, dont they? And drink? And sit in front of computer screens till their arteries clog and muscles atrophy?"

Marina Tavares Dias Quotes

Charles S Weinblatt Quotes

"Only when we learn to value the differences among us can we achieve the true spirit of humanity."

Quotes About Vectors

"Speech baffled my machine. Helen made all well-formed sentences. But they were hollow and stuffed--linguistic training bras. She sorted nouns from verbs, but, disembodied, she did not know the difference between thing and process, except as they functioned in clauses. Her predications were all shotgun weddings. Her ideas were as decorative as half-timber beams that bore no building load.She balked at metaphor. I felt the annoyance of her weighted vectors as they readjusted themselves, trying to accommodate my latest caprice. Youre hungry enough to eat a horse. A word from a friend ties your stomach in knots. Embarrassment shrinks you, amazement strikes you dead. Wasnt the miracle enough? Why do humans need to say everything in speechs stockhouse except what they mean?" - Author: Richard Powers

Quotes About Jealousness

"If love were a color, it would be green. At least for me. But her love is blue, and shes too cool to see that my envy is just amped up jealousness, and a display of how much I care about her and want to see her happy, alone, and imprisoned in the castle of my heart." - Author: Jarod Kintz

Quotes About Carnivals

"All of us had problems, it seemed, whose sources were untraceable, crossing over one another like the trajectories of countless raindrops in a storm, blending to create a fog of delusion and counter-delusion. Powerful forces and connections were undoubtedly at play, yet they seemed to have no faces and no names, and it was anybodys guess what we - a crowd of deluded no-talents - could have possibly done to offend them. We had been caught up in a season of hideous magic from which nothing could offer us deliverance.("Gas Station Carnivals")" - Author: Thomas Ligotti

Quotes About Mayans

"Evidence indicates that cats were first tamed in Egypt. The Egyptians stored grain, which attracted rodents, which attracted cats. (No evidence that such a thing happened with the Mayans, though a number of wild cats are native to the area.) I dont think this is accurate. It is certainly not the whole story. Cats didnt start as mousers. Weasels and snakes and dogs are more efficient as rodent-control agents. I postulate that cats started as psychic companions, as Familiars, and have never deviated from this function." - Author: William S. Burroughs

Quotes About Letting Him Go

"The bear is what we all wrestle with. Everybody has their bear in life. Its about conquering that bear and letting him go." - Author: Jennifer Lopez

Quotes About Getting Lost

"I passed so many vacant acres and looked past them to so many more vacant acres and looked ahead and behind at the empty road and up at the empty sky; the sheer bigness of the world made me feel lonely to the bone. The world is so huge that people are always getting lost in it. There are too many ideas and things and people, too many directions to go. I was starting to believe that the reason it matters to care passionately about something is that it whittles the world down to a more manageable size. It makes the world seem not huge and empty but full of possibility. If I had been an orchid hunter I wouldnt have seen this space as sad-making and vacant - I think I would have seen it as acres of opportunity where the things I loved were waiting to be found." - Author: Susan Orlean

Quotes About Air Superiority

"And everyone would climb the stairs chuckling to their rooms and dream of aces and knaves and a supply of trumps that would last for ever and ever, one trump after another, an invincible superiority subject to neither change nor decay nor old age, for a trump will always be a trump, come what may." - Author: J.G. Farrell

Quotes About Densidade

"Deus é capaz de criar partículas de matéria de diversos tamanhos e formas...e talvez de diferentes densidades e forças e, portanto, de variar as leis da natureza e fazer mundos de diversos tipos em várias partes do universo. Pelo menos não vejo contradição alguma em tudo isso." - Author: Isaac Newton

Quotes About Willingly

"We asked him many questions concerning all these things, to which he answered very willingly; we made no inquiries after monsters, than which nothing is more common; for everywhere one may hear of ravenous dogs and wolves, and cruel men-eaters, but it is not so easy to find states that are well and wisely governed." - Author: Thomas More

Quotes About Deprive

"The schoolmaster is termed, classically, Ludi Magister, because he deprives boys of their play." - Author: Walter Scott
