“There are moments when the walls of the mind grow thin; when nothing is unabsorbed, and I could fancy that we might blow so vast a bubble that the sun might set and rise in it and we might take the blue of midday and the black of midnight and be cast off and escape from here and now.”
The Waves • Virginia Woolf“Even while I protest the assembly-line production of our food, our songs, our language, and eventually our souls, I know that it was a rare home that baked good bread in the old days. Mother’s cooking was with rare exceptions poor, that good unpasteurized milk touched only by flies and bits of manure crawled with bacteria, the healthy old-time life was riddled with aches, sudden death from unknown causes, and that sweet local speech I mourn was the child of illiteracy and ignorance. It is the nature of a man as he grows older, a small bridge in time, to protest against change, particularly change for the better.”
Travels with Charley: In Search of America • John Steinbeck“We lawyers are always curious, always inquisitive, always picking up odds and ends for our patchwork minds, since there is no knowing when and where they may fit into some corner.”
Little Dorrit • Charles Dickens“All kings is mostly rapscallions.”
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn • Mark Twain“To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde
