Author: Doris Lessing

On the other hand, the universal admiration his works had won rather put him off, and for years he had refrained from framing them, for fear that if he hung them up, the first idiot who saw them would might feel obliged to dishonour them with a few inanities and go into stereotyped ecstasies over them."

6. "That's how ideas and the institutions they generate come to be in the first place. It is in strings of words that we make ideas. The words, however, can say anything that the language permits, which, in our case, is quite a lot, so a string of words can just as easily express inanities as ideas. When inanities are expressed, we can discover them just by paying attention to the words."
Author: Richard Mitchell
7. "She told Everra that he had given her and Sallo the soul's hunger for books and thoughts, and must not deprive them now that Sallo was starving among the inanities of the silk rooms and she among the pomposities of merchants and the illiteracy of politicians."

Today's Quote

Les choses à ne pas dire ne sont pas forcément les choses sales, au contraire. Il faut toujours raconter des saletés qu'on a en soi : c'est sain, c'est gai, c'est tonique. Non, les choses à ne pas dire sont d'un autre ordre – et ne vous attendez pas à ce que je vous l'explique, puisque ce sont précisément des choses à ne pas dire."
Author: Amélie Nothomb
