Leaving us with Eric is like hiring a babysitter who spends his time sharpening knives. - Veronica Roth Patience. I colored patience gray, hung over with black clouds.

Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little. - Banksy False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us while we walk in the sunshine, but leaving us the instant we cross into the shade. - Christian Nestell Bov...

"You're kidding, right? - Gordon Korman

That's the main point of making a film, and in retrospect, one can see that certain films, let's say Leaving Las Vegas, demonstrated its own success. - Mike Figgis After Leaving Las Vegas I did assume that things would get a lot easier than they've been.

They'd had no idea what they were ...

I rise I rise I rise. - Maya Angelou Stories set in the Culture i...

That's what bothers me most, is being another unremembered casualty in the ancient and inglorious war against disease. - John Green I will give you more pain than you can imagine. Your brains will leak out of your ears, and your bowels out of your ass. I will cause that to happen without leaving a mark, and every cop here will swear you died of natural causes. - J D Robb

Let the cities light up in the evening. My day is done. I am leaving Europe. The sea air will burn my lungs. Lost climates will tan me. I will swim, trample the grass, hung, and smoke especially.
