Lost in my dreams, I somehow cross at the traffic signals, bumping into street lamps or people, yet moving onward, exuding fumes of beer and grime, yet smiling, because my briefcase is full of books and that very night I expect them to tell me things about myself I don't know. (Bohumil Hrabal)
I was in a bar a few nights ago, moving from stool to stool, trying to get lucky... But there was no gum under any of them. And I hear giggling behind me. At first I don't mind, but the giggling continues... Finally, I thought "What's so amusing?" I turn around, and these two guys, for the last, oh, half hour or so, have been throwing darts into my head. It's a good thing I heard them! I said, "Look, you bums," 'cause I was angry now, "As soon as this game is over, hit the road!" But as I left that bar, one thing stuck in my mind... View quote

We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as for certain and which has as its highest goal one's own ego and one's own desires. View quote
Pope Benedict XVI
Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church, is often labeled today as a fundamentalism. ... Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and "swept along by every wind of teaching," looks like the only attitude acceptable to today's standards.We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as definitive and has as its highest value one's own ego and one's own desires... The church needs to withstand the tides of trends and the latest novelties. ... We must become mature in this adult faith, we must guide the flock of Christ to this faith. View quote
Pope Benedict XVI

Terry Gilliam
It was abundantly clear from his letters that, virtually to the end, he remained deeply interested in national and world events. Yet he never ceased to engage in self-deprecating humor. I have a file containing a decade of correspondence with my dear friend. It is a file that I will keep. Max's death on April 19 was not unexpected and I am sure he would have viewed it as merciful. At the moving funeral service at Fort Meyer, Ambassador Philip Bonsal, a respected diplomat and longtime friend of the Taylors', spoke eloquently of General Taylor's "example", and correctly said that his friendship would remain a constant treasure in the lives of all of us who knew him. His younger son Tom's superb tribute brought tears to the eyes of most of us. He emphasized the closeness of the Taylor family- a closeness not often found in the lives of the world's great leaders. It typifies the mind and spirit that I was privileged to know. Maxwell Taylor's place in history will be a large one. View quote

Any time there's a major change, whether it's going into a relationship, getting out of a relationship, moving to a new city, a death -- that usually provides a catalyst for an explosion of creativity. (Lucinda Williams)
Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe it was the 60's. Or maybe I was just a girl... interrupted. View quote

Under the deeply moving impression of France's capitulation I congratulate you and all the German armed forces on the God-given prodigious victory with the words of Kaiser Wilhelm the Great of the year 1870: "What a turn of events through God's dispensation!" All German hearts are filled with the chorale of Leuthen, which the victors of [the Battle of] Leuthen, the soldiers of the Great King sang [in 1757]: Now thank we all our God! View quote

I've worked since I was 11 years old, playing music and following the dream, and shaking and moving and doing it. And then, you have cancer and it was like 'Ooooohh.' It was like a big eraser. It was the only thing in my life that had ever made me just stop. View quote

Diana Gabaldon
There's nothing that I would call ordinary audition about this at all. It doesn't really.. It's a curious thing that will be very difficult to explain. Somebody asked me, "Was it as though your hand was moving?” No. I wrote perfectly voluntarily in response to...I call it a voice, but "a voice” has sounds...or sounds as though it has something to do with hearing. And I didn't hear anything. I think it's the sort of hearing that you can't really describe. It doesn't have anything to do with ears, or waves hitting a drum or anything on that order. I don't really know, I think maybe I'm using the wrong word when I say "hear.” I sort of recognized it, it was very rapid, I could even....if I didn't catch a phrase, I could sort of say, "Would you mind doing that again?”.

Alfred Bester
Wait,” Foyle commanded. He looked at the beaming grin engraved in the steel robot face. "But society can be so stupid. So confused. You've witnessed this conference.” "Yes, sir, but you must teach, not dictate. You must teach society.” "To space-jaunte? Why? Why reach out to the stars and galaxies? What for?” "Because you're alive, sir. You might as well ask: Why is life? Don't ask about it. Live it.” "Quite mad,” Dagenham muttered. "But fascinating,” Y'ang-Yeovil murmured. "There's got to be more to life than just living,” Foyle said to the robot. "Then find it for yourself, sir. Don't ask the world to stop moving because you have doubts.” "Why can't we all move forward together?” "Because you're all different. You're not lemmings. Some must lead, and hope that the rest will follow.” "Who leads?” "The men who must ... driven men, compelled men.” "Freak men.” "You're all freaks, sir. But you always have been freaks. Life is a freak. That's its hope and glory.” "Thank you very much. View quote
