I will never be able to read my mothers favourite books without thinking of her - an when I pass them on or recommend them, I'll know that some of what made her goes with them; that some of my mother will live on in those readers, readers who may be inspired to love the way loved and do their own version of what she did in the world (R B Quotes)
I feel that any form of so called psychotherapy is strongly contraindicated for addicts. The question why did you start using narcotics in the first place? Should never be asked. It is quite as irrelevant to treatment as it would be to ask a malarial patient why he went to a malarial area (R B Quotes)
I like you and your book, ingenious Hone! In whose capacious all-embracing leaves the very marrow of tradition 's shown; and all that history, much that fiction weaves (R B Quotes)

Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world (R B Quotes)
As a young child I wanted to be a writer because writers were rich and famous. They lounged around Singapore and Rangoon smoking opium in a yellow pongee silk suit. They sniffed cocaine in Mayfair and they penetrated forbidden swamps with a faithful native boy and lived in the native quarter of Tangier smoking hashish and languidly caressing a pet gazelle (R B Quotes)

Until a character becomes a personality it cannot be believed. Without personality, the character may do funny or interesting things, but unless people are able to identify themselves with the character, its actions will seem unreal. And without personality, a story cannot ring true to the audience (R B Quotes)
That is how John explains it, and with him agrees the apostle Paul: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him; (R B Quotes)
So lofty is our opinion of ourselves that we find it quite easy, not to say enjoyable, to believe that we are necessary to God. But the truth is that God is not greater for our being, nor would He be less if we did not exist. That we do exist is altogether of God's free determination, (R B Quotes)
It is with some violence to the imagination that we conceive of an actor belonging to the relations of private life, so closely do we identify these persons in our mind with the characters which they assume upon the stage (R B Quotes)
I think what I want Disneyland to be most of all is a happy place - a place where adults and children can experience together some of the wonders of life, of adventure, and feel better because of it (R B Quotes)
Other before me have gone much father into holy mysteries than I have done, but if my fire is not large, it is yet real and it may be those who can light their candle at its flame (R B Quotes)
I began to get a feeling (... ) of being the only sane man in a nut house. It doesn't make you feel superior but depressed and scared, because there is nobody you can contact (R B Quotes)
Do a good job. You don't have to worry about the money; it will take care of itself. Just do your best work - then try to trump it (R B Quotes)
There is a deep and undeniable sadness in all this: whenever we see the dawn of an eternal good that will never be overcome by evil – an evil that is itself eternal but will never succeed in overcoming good – whenever we see this dawn, the blood of old people and children is always shed (R B Quotes)
I mean your borrowers of books - those mutilators of collections, spoilers of the symmetry of shelves, and creators of odd volumes (R B Quotes)
The real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men - from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms (R B Quotes)
Why should we add your book to the atomic weapons arrayed against us by our enemies. Publication of your book would help our enemies (R B Quotes)
We would only multiply the number of victims. Our duty is to strengthen the state and defend the people, why, then, should we publish your book (R B Quotes)
You know what enormous harm we have been dealt by the publication of Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago. Everybody who has read your book, everybody who has seen the reviews are convinced that the potential harm from your Life and Fate would be far more dangerous than that of Doctor Zhivago (R B Quotes)
Lee watched the thin hands, the beautiful violet eyes, the flush of excitement on the boy's face. An imaginary hand projected with such force it seemed Allerton must feel the touch of ectoplasmic fingers caressing his ear, phantom thumbs smoothing his eyebrows, pushing the hair back from his face. Now Lee's hands were running down his ribs, the stomach. Lee felt the aching pain of desire in his lungs (R B Quotes)
In the cruel and terrible time in which our generation has been condemned to live on this earth, we must never make peace with evil. We must never become indifferent to others or undemanding of ourselves (R B Quotes)
It was Christmas Day and Danny the Car Wiper hit the street junksick and broke after seventy-two hours in the precinct jail. It was a clear bright day, but there was warmth in the sun. Danny shivered with an inner cold. He turned up the collar of his worn, greasy black overcoat. This beat benny wouldn't pawn for a deuce, he thought (R B Quotes)
I own that I am disposed to say grace upon twenty other occasions in the course of the day besides my dinner. I want a form for setting out upon a pleasant walk, for a moonlight ramble, for a friendly meeting, or a solved problem. Why have none for books, those spiritual repasts - a grace before Milton - a grace before Shakespeare - a devotional exercise proper to be said before reading the Fairy Queen? (R B Quotes)
Build a good name. Keep your name clean. Don't make compromises, don't worry about making a bunch of money or being successful - be concerned with doing good work and make the right choices and protect your work. And if you build a good name, eventually, that name will be its own currency (R B Quotes)
Another fact that allowed Fascism to gain power over men was their blindness. A man cannot believe that he is about to be destroyed. The optimism of people standing on the edge of the grave is astounding (R B Quotes)
Control never be a means to any practical end. It can never be a means to anything but more control… Like punk (R B Quotes)
The more they talked and argued, the less they understood each other. In the end they fell silent, full of mutual contempt and hatred. And in this silence of the dumb and these speeches of the blind, in this medley of people bound together by the same grief, terror and hope, in this hatred and lack of understanding between men who spoke the same tongue, you could see much of the tragedy of the twentieth century (R B Quotes)
