Memorable Quotes: "Stopping a piece of work just because it's hard, either emotionally or imaginatively, is a bad idea. Sometimes you have to go on when you don't like it, and sometimes you're doing good work when it feels like all you're managing is to shovel shit from a sitting position." Stephen King "Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia." E.L. Doctorow "You must stay drunk on writing so reality does not destroy you." Ray Bradbury "A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; a bad novel tells us the truth about its author." G.K. Chesterton "Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed." G.K. Chesterton "No one writes songs about the ones that come easy." "Writing is the only thing I do that doesn't make me feel like I should be doing something else." "Better to write for yourself and have no public than to write for the public and have no self." "Someone once said that to write with quality, you must work with the assumption that readers are your equal." "Do not respect the political figures that start wars, but the ones that bring about peace." "Chance is the fool's name for fate." "But I don't want to go among mad people," said Alice. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat. "We're all mad here." "You're beautiful to me because you're human. Your frailty. Your short years. Your heart. All that suddenly seems more precious than anything I've ever known." "My brother and I were torn apart by our own selfishness." "What does that come down to?" "Doesn't it always come down to the love of a woman?" "Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty." "You're like the thief who isn't the least bit sorry he stole, but is terribly, terribly sorry he's going to jail.” "I've never felt such tension in my life! It's like riding a psychotic horse towards a burning stable!" “You’re not friends. You’ll never be friends. You’ll love each other till it kills you both. You’ll fight and you’ll shag and you’ll hate each other till it makes you quiver. But you’ll never be friends. Love isn’t brains, children, it's blood. Blood screaming inside you to work its will. I may be love’s bitch, but at least I’m man enough to admit it." "And here a Sacramento man shot himself in the head. Three times." "This is the captain speaking. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then ... explode." William Shakespeare wrote, "Love is not love which alters, when it alteration finds. It is an ever-fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken. Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks. But bears it out. Even to the edge of doom." Robert Louis Stevenson wrote, "You cannot run away from a weakness. You must fight it out. Or perish. And if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?" "Does this darkness have a name? This cruelty? This hatred? How did it find us? Did it steal into our lives or did we seek it out and embrace it? What happened to us? That we now send our children into the world like we send young men to war. Hoping for their safe return. But knowing that some will be lost along the way. When did we lose our way? Consumed by the shadows. Swallowed whole by the darkness. Does this darkness have a name? Is it your name?" "Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping. Waiting. And though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir ... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us. Guides us. Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love ... the clarity of hatred ... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we'd be truly dead." “When you love someone like I loved her, they’re a part of you. It’s like you’re attached by this invisible tether, and no matter how far away you are, you can always feel them. And now, when I reach for that tether, I know there's no one on the other end, and I feel like I'm falling into nothingness. It feels like a piece of me has been ripped off. Just one more time, I want to hold her. Ten more seconds. Is that too much to ask? Ten more seconds to hold her." Exploding Noema: The exact startling moment when the brain is unable to reconcile the difference between what should be and what actually is. "Just out of spite, I ruined three lives, but I didn't care, until I found out that one of them was mine." | |||||||
