Also, of course, for most of this time most Americans thought of America as a white country with, at best, only a very segregated and subordinate role for blacks. ~Samuel P. Huntington

In life, sometimes everything falls into place, and sometimes everything just falls to pieces. The key is to begin creating with these fallen pieces. By improvising, you will create something magical that might be the best thing you have ever accomplished. ~Tori Amos

Contrary to conventional military and game theory, the most effective offense is sometimes a direct attack against your political opponent's greatest strength; not his weaknesses; to place him immediately on the defensive. ~Mark McKinnon

In many ways, theatre is more rewarding for a writer. I used to think it was like painting a wall - that when the play is finished, it's done; but now I realise it's more like gardening; you plant the thing, then you have to constantly tend it. You're part of a thing that's living. ~Lee Hall

I think we were colonized by aliens 250,000 years ago, and they genetically altered our DNA to be primates into homo erectus and humans. I'm very interested in how we evolved so suddenly, which obviously ties in with the alien thing. ~Al Jourgensen

And they need not cause you grief. As my Highland grandmother said, and she had the Sight-Tis not the dead ye have to be concerned about! Beware of the Living! And she was a wise woman. The dead are beyond your help or mine, poor things. But the living need us. Thirty souls at the least, Phryne, are still on that island to praise God who might now be angels-or devils. ~Kerry Greenwood

The music comes first. When Geoff has made something the inspiration comes automatically. His music is very expressive. But still is is a very difficult process. I have to add something to his music, not push it away. It has to be equal, and I find that very difficult. ~Beth Gibbons

If man has no tea in him, he is incapable of understanding truth and beauty. ~Japanese Proverb

I must go on living. And, though it may be childish of me, I can't go on in simple compliance. From now on I must struggle with the world. I thought that Mother might well be the last of those who can end their lives beautifully and sadly, struggling with no one, neither hating nor betraying anyone. In the world to come there will be no room for such people. The dying are beautiful, but to live, to survive; those things somehow seem hideous and contaminated with blood. ~Osamu Dazai
#quotes #osamu-dazai #life #mother #hardship

The wide world was changing, and she wanted a different place in it. Not just wanted, but felt she deserved. If the world didn't owe her a living, as her mother repeatedly warned her, it owed her a break. She had a strong sense that a better, more exciting, more rewarding life than that which had been the lot of her parents and grandparents was hers by right. In this she was guilty of nothing more serious than the arrogance of youth, from which every generation suffers and by which it distinguishes itself from the preceding one. ~James Robertson

So, tomorrow, I'm leaving. And I'm not going to let that happen again with anyone else. I'm going to be who I really am. I'm going to figure out what this is. ~Stephen Chbosky
