"It was the afternoon of my eighty-first birthday, and I was in bed with my catamite when Ali announced that the archbishop had come to see me."

 

[Nishin]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Nice one, I looooved this episode !!

There was no pain
No fear no doubt
Til they pulled me out,
Of heaven
So that's my refrain,
I live in hell,
Cause I've been expelled
from heaven, ...
I think I was in heaven

There is more real pleasure to be gotten out of a malicious act, where your heart is in it, than out of thirty acts of a nobler sort.
- Mark Twain

"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve"

 

[Adrock-JD]

"Goddammit that's not all; because if one of those things gets down here then all of THIS, this bullshit you think is so important, you can just kiss all that goodbye!" - Ellen Ripley in ALIENS

 

[palbert]

"The beginning is a very delicate time." - Frank Herbert, Dune

 

[RJ1979]

"There seems to be an alien pubic hair floating around in my gin, never seen it before in my life, have you?"

[Zaphod]

"I am doomed to remember a boy with a wrecked voice, not because of his voice, or because he was the smallest person I ever knew, or even because he was the instrument of my mother's death, but because he is the reason I believe in God; I am a Christian because of Owen Meany." The opening line of A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving.

I also love the last line of this book, "O God, please give him back. I shall keep asking you." I am not a Christian and I don't believe in God, but just thinking about this live sometimes moves me to tears. As does this line from The Lord of the Rings "I will take the ring, though I do not know the way."

 

[MarkDW]

"Are you gonna pull those pistols, or whistle Dixie? The Outlaw Josey Wales

"My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?" - Cloud Atlas

"How can a novelist achieve atonement when, with her absolute power of deciding outcomes, she is also God? There is no one, no entity or higher form that she can appeal to, or be reconciled with, or that can forgive her. There is nothing outside her. In her imagination she has set the limits and the terms. No atonement for God, or novelists, even if they are atheists. It was always an impossible task, and that was precisely the point. The attempt was all." - Atonement

"The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies." - Fahrenheit 451

 

[OPHELIA_HARDIN]
