Quotes I Find Starting February 2005 I am just going to see where the quotes go. "Young people, Lord. Do they still call it infatuation? That magic ax that chops away the world in one blow, leaving only the couple standing there trembling? Whatever they call it, it leaps over anything taking the biggest chair, the largest slice, rules the ground wherever it walks, from mansion to a swamp, and its selfishness is beauty. Before I was reduced to a singsong, I saw all kinds of mating. Most are two-night stands trying to last a season. Some, the riptide ones, claim exclusive rights to the real name, even though everybody drowns in its wake. People with no imagination feed it with sex-the clown of love. They don't know the real kinds, the better kinds, where losses are cut and everybody benefits. It takes a certain intelligence to love like that- softly, without props." "To me, sophistication and jail have a lot in common." "Ah, good taste! What a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of creativeness." "Love, the stongest and deepest element in all lives, the harbinger of hope, of joy, of ecstacy; love, the defier of all laws, of all conventions; love the freest, the most powerful moulder of human destiny; how can such an all-compelling force be synonymous with that poor little State and Church-begotten weed, marriage?" | ||
