Strange Quotes

When I was alone, I lived on eggplant, the stove top cook’s strongest ally. I fried it and stewed it, and ate it crisp and sludgy, hot and cold. It was cheap and filling and was delicious in all manner of strange combinations. If any was left over, I ate it cold the next day on bread Picture Quote #1

I do craft songs, that this is designed. It’s almost like the song was written to produce this desired effect. And it probably really works for somebody. It’s maybe somebody’s favorite tune, and it’s really hard to come down on that, even if I feel a little embarrassed for it. Because some songs are written like a commercial, and that can be a little strange Picture Quote #1

I want feelings to be expressed, to be open, to be natural, not to be looked on as strange. It’s not weird if you feel deeply Picture Quote #1

Very strange is this quality of our human nature which decrees that unless we feel a future before us we do not live completely in the present Picture Quote #1

Vices and virtues are of a strange nature, for the more we have, the fewer we think we have Picture Quote #1

Books are certainly old fashioned, but only people with a very limited perception are silly enough to condemn ideas because of their age. It is, of course, equally silly to condemn the new fangled simply because it is strange Picture Quote #1

Exaggerated sunsets / splashed with rain, odd collisions / of roots, animals, seeds. / I didn’t like a thing I saw, / so much effort to be strange Picture Quote #1

There is something about music that keeps its distance even at the moment that it engulfs us. It is at the same time outside and away from us and inside and part of us. In one sense it dwarfs us, and in another we master it. We are led on and on, and yet in some strange way we never lose control Picture Quote #1

Libraries are brothels for the mind. Which means that librarians are the madams, greeting punters, understanding their strange tastes and needs, and pimping their books Picture Quote #1

Sincere thought, real free thought, ready, in the name of superhuman authority or of humble common sense, to question the basis of what is officially taught and generally accepted, is less and less likely to thrive. It is, we repeat, by far easier to enslave a literate people than an illiterate one, strange as this may seem at first sight. And the enslavement is more likely to be lasting Picture Quote #1

If you are sure that you are about to fail, then this strange and serene calmness can come over you or the most abject fear and panic and feeling of helplessness Picture Quote #1

It’s strange that so many people think it’s glamorous and fun to be on a set, I guess it shows they do a good job of hiding reality! Picture Quote #1

The hegemony of finance and the banks has produced the indebted. Control over information and communication networks has created the mediatized. The security regime and the generalized state of exception have constructed a figure prey to fear and yearning for protection-the securitized. And the corruption of democracy has forged a strange, depoliticized figure, the represented. These subjective figures constitute the social terrain on which-and against which-movements of resistance and rebellion must act Picture Quote #1

I think the ears are a strange look for me. Quite big. But I loved the hair down to my shoulders. It felt right. I’m thinking of letting my hair go Picture Quote #1

The artist’s task is to become a successful eccentric, a strange but wise duck able to venture out of solitary confinement and mingle among society Picture Quote #1

The strange, unbeautiful face beautiful in its ugliness; the perfect, beautiful face ugly in its perfection Picture Quote #1

Art and business may be strange bedfellows, but an artist must make room in her bed for both Picture Quote #1

I have been asked whether it is strange when a big story and big business for you is tragedy or ill fortune for someone else; but the fact is that is how many things in life work sadly Picture Quote #1

The artist is a man who finds that the form or shape of things externally corresponds, in some strange way, to the movements of his mental and emotional life Picture Quote #1

It seemed a strange thing to him, when earth was earth and rain was rain, that scrawny pines should grow in the scrub, while by every branch and lake and river there grew magnolias. Dogs were the same everywhere, and oxen and mules and horses. But trees were different in different places Picture Quote #1

Every moment of this strange and lovely life from dawn to dusk, is a miracle. Somewhere, always a rose is opening its petals to the dawn. Somewhere, always, a flower is fading in the dusk Picture Quote #1

We wander through old streets, and pause before the age stricken houses; and, strange to say, the magic past lights them up Picture Quote #1

It is strange how the memory of a man may float to posterity on what he would have himself regarded as the most trifling of his works Picture Quote #1

It seems strange, since the aspect of a woman is power and that her subtle physical body conducts light very well, that more women don’t attain enlightenment than men. I would suggest that the reason this is so, is cultural Picture Quote #1

Love is an irrational force, making humans do all sorts of strange and wonderful things like write poetry and take up the ukulele Picture Quote #1

We are born strangers in a strange land, and remain so. Travel simply reminds us of this essential truth. The transmission of a powerful story, one human to another, is an alchemical activity in which we are enlarged and changed Picture Quote #1

I guess, like most foreigners, when you’re away, you see your own culture being even more strange. But where I come from and my roots mean a lot. I miss my family and my friends. Something I’ve realized as I’ve been traveling is that it’s more about the actual people than the actual place Picture Quote #1

The strange thing about writing is that it’s so easy to write a novel. It is really easy. But it’s getting there to the point where it’s easy that’s hard. The hard part is to get there Picture Quote #1

The paintings each take several months to do and it’s quite a cathartic and intense experience that’s very pleasurable, but also very strange Picture Quote #1

Love is a strange emotion. It is ever evolving. Lust is transient. With time, one realizes that love and togetherness are two different things. Very few people are lucky enough to experience the two emotions simultaneously Picture Quote #1
