David Gilmour Sparrow Nights (2001)

verbava (free_readings) David Gilmour Sparrow Nights

 (264x400, 23Kb)But travel is never the escape one imagines. Quite the reverse, actually. By changing the landscape, one succeeds only in highlighting the familiarin my case, a broken heart.

***

Sometimes, after going to bed with Emma Carpenter, I wanted to cal for an exorcist.

***

If there was a moment when devil whispered into my ear, Its over, it was then. It was as if she had gone to sleep and woken up speaking a foreign language, a language I had no access to.

***

I am leaning in the direction of not being in love with you any more.

***

Movies are not for the heartbroken, I had forgotten that. The eyes rest on the vivid images, but instead of being absorbed by them, they use the screen as a sort of trampoline for private, painful imaginings. The stillness in the theatre, the privacy that comes from being in the dark give rise to a focused torture.

Helen Fielding - Bridget Jones' Diary (1996)

, 30 2010 . 10:36 +
Sam-VM (free_readings) Helen Fielding - Bridget Jones' Diary

"It struck me as pretty ridiculous to be called Mr. Darcy and to stand on you own looking snooty at a party. It's like being called Heathcliff and insisting on spending the entire evening in the garden, shouting 'Cathy' and banging your head against a tree."

***

"It is as if the hairs on my head have a life of their own, behaving perfectly sensibly all day, then waiting till I drop off to sleep and starting to run and jump about childishly, saying, 'Now what shall we do?'"

***

"Wish had not been born but immaculately burst into being in similar, though no identical, manner to Jesus, then would not have had to have birthday. Sympathize with Jesus in sense of embarrassment he must, and perhaps should, feel over two-millennia-old social imposition of own birthday on large areas of globe."

***

"I have been waging a campaign on our street against car burglar alarms which are intolerable and counterproductive since you are more likely to get your car broken into by an angry neighbor trying to silence the burglar alarm than by a burglar."

***

"For some reason, the whole business suddenly made me furious with Daniel. It was his responsibility too and he wasn't having to spend ₤8.95 and hide in the toilet trying to wee on a stick."

Sam-VM (free_readings) David Sheff Beautiful Boy

"I'm happy. I know where she is. I know she is alive. Last year we were so excited she was enrolled at Harvard. Now I'm relieved that she is in jail."

***

"Alcohol does the same damage over a much longer term. Drugs get it over quicker. That's the only difference."

***

"No one starts out hoping to become an addict; they just like drugs. No one starts out hoping for a heart attack; they just like fried chicken."

***

"Parents can only be as happy as their unhappiest child, according to an old saw."

***

"Every time we reach a point where we feel we can't bear it any more, we do. I shock myself with my ability to rationalize and to tolerate things once unthinkable. The rationalizations escalate. He's just experimenting. Going through a stage. It's only marijuana. he gets high only on weekends. At least he's not using hard drugs. At least it's not heroin. He would never resort to needles. At least he's alive"

Bernhard Schlink Der Vorleser (1995)

, 16 2010 . 21:12 +
Sam-VM (free_readings) Bernhard Schlink The Reader

It hard to guess ages when you're not that old yourself and won't be anytime soon.

***

I knew none of this - if indeed I know any of it now and am not just making patterns in the air.

***

They would lecture me with loving concern, which was worse than being scolded.

***

But today I can recognize that events back then were part of a life-long pattern in which thinking and doing have either come together or failed to come together - I think, I reach a conclusion, it turn the conclusion into a decision, and then I discover that acting on the decision is something else entirely, and that doing so may proceed from the decision, but then again it may not.

***

But behavior does not merely enact whatever has already been thought through and decided. It has its own sources, and is my behavior, quite independently, just as my thoughts are my thoughts, and my decisions my decisions.
