Text Quotes
Within your own generation - the same songs, the same wars, the same attitudes toward those wars, the same rules and radio shows in the air - you can gauge the possibilities and impossibilities. With a person of another generation, you are treading water, playing with fire (With Quotes)
We all begin life as parasites within the mother, and writers begin their existence imitatively, within the body of letters (With Quotes)
and she speculated that the city would be cold, completely of itself, unconscious, that its every move would be transcendent, and that each of its hundred million flashing scenes would strike a moral lesson. Such a city would extend vision, intensify pity, telescope emotion, and float the heart the way the sea is gently buoyant with great ships. To do this it would have to be a cold instrument. And, despite its beauty, it would have to be cruel (With Quotes)
At least until there are new lakes in the clouds that open upon living cities as yet unknown, and perhaps forever, that is a question which you must answer within your own heart (With Quotes)
An old man with a cane may discover that his many years have added nothing to his innocence but proof and explanation, and that, as much as he may have learned in his long life, he cannot see as far as he could see when he was seven (With Quotes)
Do not let any sweet-talking woman beguile your good sense with the fascinations of her shape. It's your barn she's after (With Quotes)
The Florida sun seems not much a single thing overhead but a set of klieg lights that pursue you everywhere with an even white illumination (With Quotes)
He is a fool who tries to match his strength with the stronger. He will lose his battle, and with the shame will be hurt also (With Quotes)
The pain seemed to be displacing with its own hairy segments his heart and lungs; as its grip swelled in his throat he felt he was holding his brain like a morsel on a platter high out of hungry reach (With Quotes)
Sometimes love is taken away unjustly, but not until the very end do you stop believing and then it is very bitter. It is bitter because somewhere within you the perfect standard still lives, the pure expectation against which failure and betrayal are contrasted like the dark shadows on a moonlit road (With Quotes)
My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass." "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. "We're raising boys." (With Quotes)
In asking forgiveness of women for our mythologizing of their bodies, for being unreal about them, we can only appeal to their own sexuality, which is different but not basically different, perhaps, from our own. For women, too, there seems to be that tangle of supplication and possessiveness, that descent toward infantile undifferentiation, that omnipotent helplessness, that merger with the cosmic mother-warmth, that flushed pulse-quickened leap into overestimation, projection, general mix-up (With Quotes)
So you, the kings, you too must reflect upon this punishment, because the immortals are here in the midst of manking, observing those who do not hold the gods in awe... but grind each other down with crooked judgements (With Quotes)
I think taste is a social concept and not an artistic one. I'm willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else's living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another's brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves (With Quotes)
They had taken to the movement unlike anything he had ever seen, and he thought that should this venture of the Jews prove successful, the new state would be filled with dancers and musicians, but especially dancers, for dancing like nothing else says: I am still alive (With Quotes)
Students present themselves... like a succession of CDs whose shimmering surface gives no clue to their contents without the equipment to play them (With Quotes)
I mean you well, Perses, you great idiot, and I will tell you. Look, badness is easy to have, you can take it by handfuls without effort. The road that way is smooth and starts here beside you. But between us and virtue the immortals have put what will make us sweat. The road to virtue is long and goes steep up hill, hard climbing at first, but the last of it, when you get to the summit (if you get there) is easy going after the hard part (With Quotes)
That's why we love disaster, Harry sees it, puts us back in touch with guilt and sends us crawling back to God (With Quotes)
It is best to work, at whatever you have a talent for doing, without turning your greedy thought toward what some other man possesses, but take care of your own livelihood, as I advise you (With Quotes)
... but with his mother there's no question of liking him they're not even in a way separate people he began in her stomach and if she gave him life she can take it away and if he feels that withdrawal it will be the grave itself (With Quotes)
Give me a night by the fire, with a book in my hand, not that flickering rectangular son of a bitch that sits screaming in every living room in the land (With Quotes)
I'm willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else's living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another's brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves (With Quotes)
I like actors that are good with pantomime and that can transmit a lot by their presence and attitude more than through their dialogue (With Quotes)
I see horror as part of legitimate film. I don't see it as an independent genre that has nothing to do with the rest of cinema (With Quotes)
Let us not mock God with metaphor, analogy, sidestepping, transcendence; making of the event a parable, a sign painted in the faded credulity of earlier ages:let us walk through the door (With Quotes)
I like to compare the holiday season with the way a child listens to a favorite story. The pleasure is in the familiar way the story begins, the anticipation of familiar turns it takes, the familiar moments of suspense, and the familiar climax and ending (With Quotes)
The artist brings something into the world that didn't exist before, and he does it without destroying something else (With Quotes)
Parents are like shuttles on a loom. They join the threads of the past with threads of the future and leave their own bright patterns as they go (With Quotes)
Not surprisingly, he began to sing, and because no one in the world could hear him, and he sang without inhibition, he sang well (With Quotes)
... I glance around at the nest we have made, at the floorboards polished by our bare feet, at the continents of stain on the ceiling like an old and all-wrong discoverer's map, at the earnestly bloated canvases I conscientiously cover with great streaks straining to say what even I am beginning to suspect is the unsayable thing, and I grow frightened (With Quotes)
