- Who has never killed an hour? Not casually or without thought, but carefully: a premeditated murder of minutes.
- Passion has little to do with euphoria and everything to do with patience. It is not about feeling good. It is about endurance. Like patience, passion comes from the same Latin root: pati. It does not mean to flow with exuberance. It means to suffer.
- It may be the wrong decision, but fuck it, it's mine.
- Prometheus, thief of light, giver of light, bound by the gods, must have been a book.
- Out of the blue, beyond any cause you can trace, you'll suddenly realize things are not how you perceived them to be at all. For some reason, you will no longer be the person you believed you once were.
- ...And there you have it, another body on the floor surrounded by things that don't mean much to anyone except to the one who can't take any of them along.
- Love of love written by the broken hearted, love of life written by the dead.
- What can I say, I'm a sucker for abandoned stuff, misplaced stuff, forgotten stuff, any old stuff which despite the light of progress and all that, still vanishes every day like shadows at noon, goings unheralded, passings unmourned, well, you get the drift.
- I took my morning walk, I took my evening walk, I ate something, I thought about something, I wrote, I napped and dreamt something too, and with all that something, I still have nothing because so much of something has always been and always will be you.
- Beneath all that cool psuedo-academic hogwash lurked a very passionate man who knew how important it was to say "fuck" now and then.
- Explanation is not half as strong as experience but experience is not half as strong as experience and understanding.
- Do not wake me from this slumber, but be assured that just as I have wept much, I have also wandered many roads with my thoughts.
- Absolutely nothing visible to the eye provides a reason for or even evidence of those terrifying shifts which can in a matter of moments reconstitute a simple path into an extremely complicated one.
- Not all complex problems have easy solutions; so says science (so warns science.)
- Quick note here: if this crush-slash-swooning stuff is hard for you to stomach; if you’ve never had a similar experience, then you should come to grips with the fact that you’ve got a TV dinner for a heart and might want to consider climbing inside a microwave and turning it on high for at least an hour.
- Myth makes Echo the subject of longing and desire. Physics makes Echo the subject of distance and design. Where emotion and reason are concerned both claims are accurate.
- I want something else. I’m not even sure what to call it anymore except I know it feels roomy and it’s drenched in sunlight and it’s weightless and I know it’s not cheap. It’s probably not even real.
- May I suggest you drink plenty of wine and dance in the sheets of your wedding night, because whether you know it or not, now you are truly prosperous.
- Me feeling dumb and sad, a bit like a broken thermos- fine on the outside, but on the inside nothing but busted glass.
- I will become, have become, a creature unstirred by history, no longer moved by the present, just hungry, blind and at long last filled of mindless wrath.
