Sayings/quotes

AllInOne

They took to silence. They touched each other without comment and without progression. A hand on a hand, a clothed arm, resting on an arm. An ankle overlapping an ankle, as they sat on a beach, and not removed. One night they fell asleep, side by side...He slept curled against her back, a dark comma against her pale elegant phrase."
— A.S. Byatt (Possession)

"Mine the long night
The secret place
Where lovers meet
In long embrace
In purple dark
In silvered kiss
Forget the world
And grasp your bliss"
— A.S. Byatt (Possession)

Soo much less than three.

"We might kiss when we are alone,
When nobody's watching,
We might take it home.
We might make out when nobody's there,
It's not that we're scared,
It's just that it's delicate."

Damo <33

Pygmalion

On the topic of Ghandi, I always liked the following, mainly because no-one seems to believe he actually said it.

‘‘Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest.’’

Bob Dylan in Subterranean Homesick Blues:

"Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don’t steal, don’t lift
Twenty years of schoolin’
And they put you on the day shift."

Dishearteningly true, but brilliantly said

Watch the plain clothes
You don’t need a weatherman
To know which way the wind blows."

I have like a weird collection of quotes, not on purpose or anything it just kind of happens!

"I have spread my dreams beneath your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams" - I'm not sure who said this my friend gave it to me but I think its really nice.

If a small thing has the power to make you angry does that not indicate something about your size?


Any philosophy that can be put in a nutshell belongs there.


When you run into someone who is disagreeable to others, you may be sure he is uncomfortable with himself; the amount of pain we inflict upon others is directly proportional to the amount we feel within us. (This is one I forget sometimes )
