- Virginia Woolf99◆ I want to change my punctuation. I long for exclamation marks, but I'm drowning in ellipses.
- Isaac Marion99◆ I'm a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.
- Mother Teresa99◆ Life is a journey. Time is a river. The door is ajar
- Jim Butcher99◆ People say that eyes are windows to the soul.
- Khaled Hosseini99◆ Doubt as sin. — Christianity has done its utmost to close the circle and declared even doubt to be sin. One is supposed to be cast into belief without reason, by a miracle, and from then on to swim in it as in the brightest and least ambiguous of elements: even a glance towards land, even the thought that one perhaps exists for something else as well as swimming, even the slightest impulse of our amphibious nature — is sin! And notice that all this means that the foundation of belief and all reflection on its origin is likewise excluded as sinful. What is wanted are blindness and intoxication and an eternal song over the waves in which reason has drowned.
- Friedrich Nietzsche99◆ Memories are bullets. Some whiz by and only spook you. Others tear you open and leave you in pieces.
- Richard Kadrey99◆ I always thought of it like you said, that all the strings inside him broke. But there are a thousand ways to look at it: maybe the strings break, or maybe our ships sink, or maybe we're grass—our roots so interdependent that no one is dead as long as someone is alive. We don't suffer from a shortage of metaphors, is what I mean. But you have to be careful which metaphor you choose, because it matters. If you choose the strings, then you're imagining a world in which you can become irreparably broken. If you choose the grass, you're saying that we are all infinitely interconnected, that we can use these root systems not only to understand one another but to become one another. The metaphors have implications. Do you know what I mean?
- John Green99◆ Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.
- Matt Groening99◆ Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely.
- Edna St. Vincent Millay99◆ I said nothing for a time, just ran my fingertips along the edge of the human-shaped emptiness that had been left inside me.
- Haruki Murakami99◆ She's the kind of girl who climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong.
- Mae West99◆ I always think of each night as a song. Or each moment as a song. But now I'm seeing we don't live in a single song. We move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. There is no ending here. It's an infinite playlist.
- David Levithan99◆ Half the people in the world think that the metaphors of their religious traditions, for example, are facts. And the other half contends that they are not facts at all. As a result we have people who consider themselves believers because they accept metaphors as facts, and we have others who classify themselves as atheists because they think religious metaphors are lies.
- Joseph Campbell99◆ I am not plain, or average or - God forbid - vanilla. I am peanut butter rocky road with multicolored sprinkles, hot fudge and a cherry on top.
- Wendy Mass99
