674	"But secluding my experience during that early period was both cowardly and wise. Some things are too fragile, too vulnerable to bring into the public eye. Tender things with tiny roots tend to wither in the glare of public scrutiny. By holding my awakening within, I contained the energy of it, and it fed me the way blood feeds muscle. It fed me a certain propelling energy, and I kept moving forward."	Sue Monk Kidd	The Dance of the Dissident Daughter	2019-01-02 04:20:40.198285
675	"I know people who are embarrassed to be American. They don't like showing their passports. It's becoming a scary place.

835	"Armed with the new right to sell their products back to host societies, they can bleed both producing and buying populations at the same time.

915	"The ocean was still and gray as a post-consumer touchscreen when she first spotted the island from the boatâs railing. A shade, a line which didnât belong under the bright overcast sky."	Alex Livingston	Glitch Rain	2019-01-02 04:22:17.851371
916	"You hide things to change whatâs real. I make images to create whatâs real. Appearance and reality."	Alex Livingston	Glitch Rain	2019-01-02 04:22:18.104564
917	"thereâs something unnatural about the feelings we have for people whoâve hurt us. About hate. Itâs a connection. We want to know if theyâre alive or dead, where they are in the world. As much as their faces bring terror, that part of us that allowed them to hurt us in the first place still hungers."	Alex Livingston	Glitch Rain	2019-01-02 04:22:18.362954
918	"...as my fist drove through her ribs. Bone cracked. Shifted. The numbers in my optics hit steel-bending digits and Muerte lost her footing. My meat flagged, but the arm Orchard had fixed up and the shoulder girdle sheâd strengthened didnât."	K.C. Alexander	Nanoshock	2019-01-02 04:22:18.621401
919	"It's good to have a body again, even if it's the body of a fat woman that no one else wanted."	MartÃ­n Felipe Castagnet	Los cuerpos del verano	2019-01-02 04:22:18.87766
920	"Watch batteries gleam in the center of dark flowers. Henna painted with conductive ink, waiting to be turned on."	Alex Livingston	Glitch Rain	2019-01-02 04:22:19.135988
921	"...given that the approval process is costly, the debate is linked to the middle and upper classes. As a general rule, the greater the annual income, the less respect for a body. Millionaires setting fire to themselves bonzo style just to keep anyone from reusing their bodies seem to have created a tradition as esteemed as caviar."	MartÃ­n Felipe Castagnet	Los cuerpos del verano	2019-01-02 04:22:19.395487
922	"I take his hand, but it's not the hand I held when he was the size of guinea pig recently issued from his mother's womb. This body isn't right. Only my original body, faulty heart and all, would allow me to properly say goodbye with the right face and the right voice and the right look in my eyes."	MartÃ­n Felipe Castagnet	Los cuerpos del verano	2019-01-02 04:22:19.653264
923	"We float like gourds on the current of the stream."	MartÃ­n Felipe Castagnet	Los cuerpos del verano	2019-01-02 04:22:19.910541
924	"She tries to envision a life without the debt, but canât string the thoughts together in the right order. The debt is all there has ever been. It makes all her decisions for her. Chooses who she is going to be."	Alex Livingston	Glitch Rain	2019-01-02 04:22:20.165607
925	"Gene replacement therapy--they tell me it really hurts.  It always hurts... It all hurts. Everything hurts. For as long as you can still feel it."	Bruce Sterling	Heavy Weather	2019-01-02 04:22:20.421263
926	"She was in the zone, a human copressor for a complex system that used machines as a nervous system to wire together the intelligence of a global crowd of people she loved with all her heart."	Cory Doctorow	Walkaway	2019-01-02 04:22:20.676118
927	"Multicolored pipes vein the outside of every building in a dense varicose web: crimson chrome for heat, dark olive for potable water, mirror black for sewage. And then the bootleg ones, the off-color reds for hijacked heat, the green plastics for stolen water."	Sam J. Miller	Blackfish City	2019-01-02 04:22:20.931924
928	"Itâs an open secret that the sneakernet is used for a lot more than moving a few dozen terabytes more quickly than you could across the lines. The kids â "chucks" in local argot â pick up your external drive and walk it to wherever you want to send it. Along the way they add on a few other jobs, like grabbing prepaids from some chick and delivering them to the person she owes. Most of the industry uses them."	Alex Livingston	Glitch Rain	2019-01-02 04:22:21.189561
929	"Directional acoustics. In a place that sells sounds, theyâre a must."	Alex Livingston	Glitch Rain	2019-01-02 04:22:21.449785
930	"Qaanaaq was governed by a hundred thousand computer programs... but sometimes contradictory or irreconcilable mandates sparked a squabble that brought an agency's operations to a standstill until a human--or more likely--another AI intervened."	Sam J. Miller	Blackfish City	2019-01-02 04:22:21.705225
932	"Bodybreaking, they called it. What happened when the breaks finally killed you. The moment your mind's hold on the here and now finally ruptured forever and you broke free from your body."	Sam J. Miller	Blackfish City	2019-01-02 04:22:22.222438
933	"...the most myth-shrouded story of all is that of the nanobonded. A whole community of people who were either deliberately or accidentally exposed to the experimental wireless nanomachines that established one-to-one networks between individuals, and who, through years of training and imprinting, could "network" themselves to animals, forming primal emotional connections so that they could control their animals through thought alone."	Sam J. Miller	Blackfish City	2019-01-02 04:22:22.481268
934	"Wood smells like wealth"	Sam J. Miller	Blackfish City	2019-01-02 04:22:22.737069
937	"Becoming real simply because he'd appeared on a few thousand TV screens. Growing up with a sense that media events were real, and personal events were not. Anything that didn't happen on television didn't happen. Even as he hated conventional programming, even as he regarded it as the cud of ruminants, still it defined his sense of personal unreality; and left him unfinished."	Larry McCaffery	Storming the Reality Studio: A Casebook of Cyberpunk & Postmodern Science Fiction	2019-01-02 04:22:24.059946
938	"Welcome to the place on the other side of midnight."	Mladen ÄorÄeviÄ	SvetioniÄar - Pritajeno zlo	2019-01-02 04:22:24.31787
939	"To watch me is to eat glass. Can't you feel me glittering in your stomach?"	Misha	Red Spider, White Web	2019-01-02 04:22:26.418762
940	"I always forget that half of the people who watch us fly are waiting to see us die."	Maureen F. McHugh	China Mountain Zhang	2019-01-02 04:22:26.673545
941	"Those who wake...do not regret the dream."	Raphael Carter	The Fortunate Fall	2019-01-02 04:22:26.928073
942	"I don't believe in socialism but I don't believe in capitalism either. We are small, governments are large, we survive in the cracks. Cold comfort."	Maureen F. McHugh	China Mountain Zhang	2019-01-02 04:22:27.184834
943	"You'd sell out too if you had half a chance."  Kumo snorted and shook her head. "You can't sell out if you don't buy in..."	Misha	Red Spider, White Web	2019-01-02 04:22:27.438512
944	"the briefest flash of pale, pale ice over a thin-boned shoulder. Neon caught the red lotus splayed on her elbow and lit it on fire."	K.C. Alexander	Nanoshock	2019-01-02 04:22:27.696816
945	"How many rough blows had she suffered? How many times had she been an unwilling step for the selfish souls of her fellow opposite gender? And the Pinkies, so white and so male, were like living stiff boots of conquerors."	Misha	Red Spider, White Web	2019-01-02 04:22:27.951688
947	"Najia can feel yts subdermal activators against her forearm. Not man not woman not both not neither. Nute. Another way of being human, speaking a phsyical language she does not understand. More alien to her than any man, any father, yet this body next to hers is loyal, tough, funny courageous, clever, kind, sensual, vulnerable. Sweet. Sexy. All you could wish in a friend of the soul. Or a lover."	Ian McDonald	River of Gods	2019-01-02 04:22:28.468344
948	"The implants just give you a new set of reproductive-free imperatives, that's all. The rest, thank the gods, is up to you. They wouldn't be worth anything if they didn't give rise to the most troubling and complex problems of the heart. They are what makes all this glory, this madness worthwhile. We are born to the trouble as sparks fly upwards, that is what is great about us, man, woman, transgen, nute."	Ian McDonald	River of Gods	2019-01-02 04:22:28.726915
950	"She liked the high places, away from the subterranean rage of the working class. No one was there to mirror her image in their funhouse looking-glass."	Misha	Red Spider, White Web	2019-01-02 04:22:29.246138
951	"...it's a sinister wonderland. My life, cleaned like a revolver, levels in the direction of happiness. Come on. It's a Marxian dream, possessions divides, individuality erased, money gone, voices stilled, sorrow a luxury that can't be bought."	Misha	Red Spider, White Web	2019-01-02 04:22:29.505015
952	"...the wires he wore had grown all through him, as the roots of trees replace the flesh of corpses; and the vast coils of the whale's brain wrapped around him like a gray constricting snake. I pitied him: but it was probably stray feedback from the Net..."	Raphael Carter	The Fortunate Fall	2019-01-02 04:22:29.763299
953	"...it changes the central fact of the human condition: that each of us lives behind one set of eyes, and not another; that our own pain is an agony, and another's pain only an abstraction we believe in by an act of faith. It makes impossible all the sins of locality, all the errors that arise from being prisoned in one body and no other--as racism, sexism, classism, and of course and especially nationalism."	Raphael Carter	The Fortunate Fall	2019-01-02 04:22:30.020731
955	"In America profit is everything. They would never suspect honor. Money, greed, even revenge. But never honor."	Misha	Red Spider, White Web	2019-01-02 04:22:30.536649
956	"Below her lay the deserted ant farm city. A skyscraper was her only shadow. Plasma gas globes and lava lamps gleaned. Ded Tek was a city of hot lavenders, ketchup reds and taffy yellows. It was all wrong, the color and the acidic rain and the grinding morning cold."	Misha	Red Spider, White Web	2019-01-02 04:22:30.7962
957	"Dry ash and waxy lust. Language was caked to the roof of his mouth. He snorted in derision. To his left Mickey-san, in brilliant tasai coloration, greeted another artificial lemon-yellow day and asian-blue 'skies'. The protective corneal bubble over the area glowed softly with artificial lightning. He adjusted his goggles to see through the brown air. Tiny insects roped across the bubble's exterior."	Misha	Red Spider, White Web	2019-01-02 04:22:31.052835
958	"As he walked...he picked up the holodreams of the suits... _I believe_. A yellow-suited man was flying one World War II plane and fighting another. He had his arms out and banked and turned like he was actually flying. Tommy sniggered. Everything was nostalgia, dull, plebian, safe and nothing, nothing in all this magical world was the least bit new or upsetting."	Misha	Red Spider, White Web	2019-01-02 04:22:31.310292
959	"How convenient, lust and a career move in the same packet."	Misha	Red Spider, White Web	2019-01-02 04:22:31.563444
960	"You're sick. You were nearly killed. All kinds of shitheads are out to tear you to pieces. You were in pain, hungry, cold, filthy. Here you have safety, comfort, even, even love." JuJube put his hand son her face in a gesture of practices affection. They trembled a little with an almost instant desire. "And you want to leave---because of your---your twisted visions." Kumo pushed his hands away. Her hunger for affection was lose in her desire for her art."	Misha	Red Spider, White Web	2019-01-02 04:22:31.82889
963	"Any children born within the city are squeezed out with the standard nano package. Itâs programmed in, parent to kid. First thing they do is carve a Security Identification Number into the fetal brain, upload that data to the system."	K.C. Alexander	Nanoshock	2019-01-02 04:22:32.611866
964	"was half out the door when the chipset installed at the base of my skull thrummed; a haptic tap, like a finger poking at the top of my spine. A projected call, right to my personal frequency."	K.C. Alexander	Nanoshock	2019-01-02 04:22:32.870887
965	"Tears of pain are as regular as blood and piss."	K.C. Alexander	Nanoshock	2019-01-02 04:22:33.123586
2891	"The world is, of course, nothing but our conception of it."	Anton Chekhov	\N	2019-01-02 05:09:55.328308
966	"For a strained moment, I couldnât breathe. Couldnât hear anything but the shattered pulse of a hammered artery struggling to keep up; fury carved in stinging wasps."	K.C. Alexander	Nanoshock	2019-01-02 04:22:33.381423
967	"Reed had once warned that brains were untrustworthy â that like any computer, they could be hacked."	K.C. Alexander	Nanoshock	2019-01-02 04:22:33.634249
968	"The mind has doors...even as the body does. And when you drill new holes, you tap old hungers."	Raphael Carter	The Fortunate Fall	2019-01-02 04:22:33.888913
969	"Only the framing material," Lucas demurely, "obvious influences, Neo-Tokyo from Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Metal Gear Solid by Hideo Kojima, or as he's known in my crib, God."	Thomas Pynchon	Bleeding Edge	2019-01-02 04:22:36.114034
970	"Machinic desire can seem a little inhuman, as it rips up political cultures, deletes traditions, dissolves subjectivities, and hacks through security apparatuses, tracking a soulless tropism to zero control. This is because what appears to humanity as the history of capitalism is an invasion from the future by an artificial intelligent space that must assemble itself entirely from its enemy's resources."	Nick Land	Fanged Noumena: Collected Writings, 1987-2007	2019-01-02 04:22:36.37228
971	"What I need I carry in my head. Everything in that machine came from me. My fat burned into knowledge. My calories pedaled into data analysis" -- The Calorie Man"	James Patrick Kelly	Rewired: The Post-Cyberpunk Anthology	2019-01-02 04:22:36.630128
972	"It is a certainty, not just a conviction, the way believing in God is a conviction, but believing in gravity is a certainty."	Tade Thompson	Rosewater	2019-01-02 04:22:36.898359
973	"What is real? How do you define real? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain."	Lana Wachowski	The Matrix: The Shooting Script	2019-01-02 04:22:37.15658
975	"Alice in Wonderland, Alice down the rabbit hole, Alice out in Cyberspace, flung along the lines of data, flying across fields of light, the night cities that live only behind her eyes."	Melissa Scott	Trouble and Her Friends	2019-01-02 04:22:37.676372
976	"Maybe humankind was meant to be sick from time to time. Maybe there is something to be learned from illness."	Tade Thompson	Rosewater	2019-01-02 04:22:37.934627
977	"..you can't just break through a person's defenses like thatl the defenses are a part of the person, they are the person. It's our nature to have hidden depths. It's like...skinning a frog and saying, 'Now I understand this frog, because I've seen what's inside it.' But when you skin it, it dies. You haven't understood a frog, you've understood a corpse."	Raphael Carter	The Fortunate Fall	2019-01-02 04:22:38.19157
978	"You had to draw lines, and that choice was in itself dangerous; all boundaries had a double edge, were like swords that could always be turned against you in the end.  But you still had to choose."	Melissa Scott	Trouble and Her Friends	2019-01-02 04:22:38.448504
979	"Maybe that was why it was almost always the underclasses, the women, the people of color, the gay people, the ones who were already stigmatized as being vulnerable, availble, trapped by the body, who took the risk of the wire."	Melissa Scott	Trouble and Her Friends	2019-01-02 04:22:38.709654
981	"This is what she hated most about the on-line world, the shadows as much as the bright lights of the legal nets: too many men assumes that the nets were exclusively their province, and were startled and angry to find out that it wasn't."	Melissa Scott	Trouble and Her Friends	2019-01-02 04:22:39.233487
982	"..she can feel that burden sometimes like a wall pressing in over the dome of the false sky that bounds the city. *Someone has to*, she says again, as if the ghost is somewhere in the machines that create this Seaheaven, as if he might have cared and turns away, walks back down the vivid street, the dust soft and almost real against her feet."	Melissa Scott	Trouble and Her Friends	2019-01-02 04:22:39.491514
983	"...glimpses through the clouds of numerous and enormous Second Free Zone residential arks and barges lumbering through their selective tracks like a slow-motion game of hide and seek played by listless, blunt whales."	Kieran Shea	Koko Takes a Holiday	2019-01-02 04:22:39.747097
984	"This was what she hated most about the on-line world, the shadows as much as the bright lights of the legal nets: too many men assumed that the nets were exclusively their province, and were startled and angry to find out that it wasn't...rather than ever admit fear, they walked with raised hackles, looking for a fight."	Melissa Scott	Trouble and Her Friends	2019-01-02 04:22:40.002611
985	"like all of her, wrong sex, wrong class, wrong attitude..."	Melissa Scott	Trouble and Her Friends	2019-01-02 04:22:40.257847
986	"Power rides her fingers, she moves from datashell to datashell, walking the nets like the ghost of a shadow, her trail vanishing behind her as she goes. She carries power in the dark behind her eyes."	Melissa Scott	Trouble and Her Friends	2019-01-02 04:22:40.515344
987	"We read classics to flood the xenosphere with irrelevant words and thoughts, a firewall of knowledge that even makes its way to the subconscious of the customer."	Tade Thompson	Rosewater	2019-01-02 04:22:40.770149
988	"I pulled the Net chip out of my head, cutting her off. The chip was long and white, with many metal legs; cupped in my hand, it looked like some pale, crawling thing that you'd find living under a rock. Vermin."	Raphael Carter	The Fortunate Fall	2019-01-02 04:22:41.024902
989	"You think we have a connection because of all the things you've sucked out of my mind by screening, but that isn't real. Trust comes when you've worked with someone for years; it doesn't speed up just because you can think fast, and it doesn't materialize when you stick a cable in someone's head. What you get from screening me isn't friendship, it's data. We're strangers."	Raphael Carter	The Fortunate Fall	2019-01-02 04:22:41.282157
1013	"I feel something else break through the numbness. Something raw. Something primal. Something visceral."	Sam A. Patel	Data Runner	2019-01-02 04:22:49.188665
990	"First the bugs divide your mind into parcels that are almost independent--I always picture paper growing up between the wrinkles of the brain like the membrane between cloves of garlic. The ants descend on each clove in turn, carry it off to grayspace, and reconnect it. As this happens, you briefly lose certain capacities, sight, mostly--I was blind for a time, and when the sight came back I was agnosic, and then paralyzed."	Raphael Carter	The Fortunate Fall	2019-01-02 04:22:41.542923
992	"In print news your job is to know things about others, you peer out at the world through an arrow slit. In telepresence you _are known_. If I'd still been writing for a newspaper--if there still were newspapers-- I could have forgotten..."	Raphael Carter	The Fortunate Fall	2019-01-02 04:22:42.060398
995	"You are not a sensitive and will never experience this, but raw data surges, blunt data with errors which are slowly refined like the process of chiselling out a sculpture from a block of marble."	Tade Thompson	Rosewater	2019-01-02 04:22:42.834624
996	"...you can't just break through a person's defenses like that; the defenses are a part of the person, they are the person. It's our nature to have hidden depths. It's like...skinning a frog and saying, 'Now I understand this frog, because I've seen what's inside it.' But when you skin it, it dies. You haven't understood a frog, you've understood a corpse."	Raphael Carter	The Fortunate Fall	2019-01-02 04:22:43.090238
997	"...if you can achieve total intimacy with a piece of cable that costs fifty-nine kopeks, what good is it? How can you say you have something special with a person, when you can get the same thing with anyone in Russia in fifteen minutes?"	Raphael Carter	The Fortunate Fall	2019-01-02 04:22:43.344737
999	"Oyin Daâs mind is as elegant as a French horn, thoughts moving in whorls and evoking fresh mint leaves."	Tade Thompson	Rosewater	2019-01-02 04:22:45.599512
1000	"No good thing renders its possessor happy, unless his mind is reconciled to the possibility of loss."	Tade Thompson	Rosewater	2019-01-02 04:22:45.855517
1001	"This is a psychofield, a thoughtspace, essentially unstable. While most people conceptualise thinking as this straightforward linear thing, I see ideas spreading out into alternatives before one is selected. In this place every notion can potentially become reality."	Tade Thompson	Rosewater	2019-01-02 04:22:46.109421
1002	"The best way to hide the truth is to shroud it in myth"	Sam A. Patel	Data Runner	2019-01-02 04:22:46.368591
1003	"I let go of the tenuous control I had and scream into the void. Without lungs you can scream forever, and I do."	Tade Thompson	Rosewater	2019-01-02 04:22:46.63157
1004	"I canât,â I say.  Her mind closes like a shutter, with finality. I wish, at that moment, that I had said something else."	Tade Thompson	Rosewater	2019-01-02 04:22:46.888319
1005	"Freedom. The freedom to be, without limits, to the very best of your ability. The freedom to move without fear or reticence and live your life one leap at a time. The freedom to unbind yourself from all those paths that have been constructed for you by society and find your own way through the obstacles. The freedom to write your own physics, accepting nobodyâs rules of gravity and space but your own."	Sam A. Patel	Data Runner	2019-01-02 04:22:47.146215
1006	"standard Superconducting Quantum Interference Device, or SQUID, interface. The same kind doctors use to communicate with surgically implanted components like pacemakers."	Sam A. Patel	Data Runner	2019-01-02 04:22:47.404199
1007	"The arm that carries the data. Thatâs your wing."	Sam A. Patel	Data Runner	2019-01-02 04:22:47.659876
1008	"The traceur doesnât knock an obstacle out of the way unless itâs absolutely necessary. He meanders his way past it. Over. Under. Through. Around. He gets past not by moving the obstacle but by moving himself. That is parkour, and working this job I use every technique I know just to get it done."	Sam A. Patel	Data Runner	2019-01-02 04:22:47.915365
1009	"Thatâs the point of Zenoâs Paradox, isnât it? Whatever your goal, youâre never more than halfway there."	Sam A. Patel	Data Runner	2019-01-02 04:22:48.168306
1010	"She made us realize that human dignity is inalienable, and as long as there is still breath left in your body, there will always be something left to fight for."	Sam A. Patel	Data Runner	2019-01-02 04:22:48.424705
1011	"Sooner or later we stop running, stop climbing, stop reaching for the sky. We stop pushing ourselves toward unattainable goals because common sense tells us that the only logical thing to do is push ourselves toward the attainable ones. If running through the world like kids on the playground is a kind of dream, then at a certain point we just stop dreaming."	Sam A. Patel	Data Runner	2019-01-02 04:22:48.680614
1014	"...the bioidentical cortex chip that will be implanted subcutaneously on the inside of your forearm. It is a proprietary biocircuit developed in our labs specifically for this purpose, and it is unlike any other in the world."	Sam A. Patel	Data Runner	2019-01-02 04:22:49.44808
1015	"Riots followed hunger like thunder follows lightning."	Gary A. Ballard	Under the Amoral Brigde	2019-01-02 04:22:49.703472

1028	"Ebun becomes completely conceptual in the xenosphere. She is an idea from infancy, the non-verbal stage. There are no words with which to understand her form, and there is no image. We are aware of her presence, but it is extremely abstract. The idea is her own, from her own early life. Even she does not fully understand it, but she can pull it out of lost memories and use it. She is safe. It is an elegant solution which I wish I had thought of."	Tade Thompson	Rosewater	2019-01-02 04:22:53.048042

1076	"Thing is you learn a lot in the city; you learn that drugs can hide the worst hurts and exchanging wrong parts for right is only a matter or film or cred. So that's what little Min-seo did. At a mere twelve years of age, after two years of secret hormone treatment, and earlier than most surgeons would allow, Min-seo became the boy he always knew he was, re-christening himself Shock in an ironic nod to the reaction of the entire community at Hanju's Songpa blockstreet."

1079	"She's always scorned his squeamishness, citing the replacement of his vagina with a dick. Joon thinks that's invasion of a far more nail-biting nature. She has no idea. It was fucking heaven.

Being the odd one out may have its temporary disadvantages, but more importantly, it has its permanent advantages."	Criss Jami	Killosophy	2019-01-02 04:24:08.607349

1363	"Beauty is something wonderful and strange that the artist fashions out of the chaos of the world in the torment of his soul. And when he has made it, it is not given to all to know it.

Somerset Maugham	The Moon and Sixpence	2019-01-02 04:31:58.788915

1374	"Actors in any capacity, artists of any stripe, are inspired by their curiosity, by their desire to explore all quarters of life, in light and in dark, and reflect what they find in their work.

1428	"A written word is the choicest of relics. It is something at once more intimate with us and more universal than any other work of art. It is the work of art nearest to life itself. It may be translated into every language, and not only be read but actually breathed from all human lips; -- not be represented on canvas or in marble only, but be carved out of the breath of life itself."

1445	"Art is the process of evoking pity and terror, which is not abstract at all but very human.

1484	"I have no duty to be anyone's Friend and no man in the world has a duty to be mine. No claims, no shadow of necessity. Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival."	C.S. Lewis	The Four Loves	2019-01-02 04:35:04.925326
1485	"The artist, and particularly the poet, is always an anarchist in the best sense of the word.

1488	"It is in dialogue with pain that many beautiful things acquire their value. Acquaintance with grief turns out to be one of the more unusual prerequisites of architectural appreciation.

1491	"This pause in time, within time ... When did I first experience the exquisite sense of surrender that is only possible with another person? The peace of mind one experiences on one's own, one's certainty of self in the serenity of solitude, are nothing in comparison to the release and openness and fluency one shares with another, in close companionship ..."	Muriel Barbery	The Elegance of the Hedgehog	2019-01-02 04:35:06.72714
1492	"One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought."	Albert Einstein	\N	2019-01-02 04:35:06.984961

1504	"We feel lonely now and then and long for friends and think we should be quite different and happier if we found a friend of whom we might say: âHe is the one.â But you, too, will begin to learn that there is much self-deception behind this longing; if we yielded too much to it, it would lead us from the road."

1505	"A week after my drugs ran out, I left my bed to perform at the college, deciding at the last minute to skip both the doughnut toss and the march of the headless plush toys.

But lacking this, in Future I will relaxedly turn back to my secret mind to see what it has observed when I thought I was sitting this one out. We never sit anything out.

1576	"For so many years, I couldnât understand why every time I thought that someone finally loved me, likeâ¦ for real, they would eventually turn to vapor.

1580	"The arts are not just a nice thing to have or to do if there is free time or if one can afford it.

Michelle Obama	\N	2019-01-02 04:35:38.129172

1582	"In art, and maybe just in general, the idea is to be able to be really comfortable with contradictory ideas. In other words, wisdom might be, seem to be, two contradictory ideas both expressed at their highest level and just let to sit in the same cage sort of, vibrating. So, I think as a writer, I'm really never sure of what I really believe."	George Saunders	\N	2019-01-02 04:35:38.740211

She was going to train herself to be totally irrational. She'd fall in love with a totally inappropriate person. She'd really work on it, but abandon would be involved as well. She'd have different names, a.k.a. Snake, a.k.a. Snow - no that was juvenile. She wanted to be extraordinary, to possess a savage glitter."	Joy Williams	\N	2019-01-02 04:35:39.754809

1597	"This is the time for every artist in every genre to do what he or she does loudly and consistently. It doesn't matter to me what your position is. You've got to keep asserting the complexity and the originality of life, and the multiplicity of it, and the facets of it. This is about being a complex human being in the world, not about finding a villain. This is no time for anything else than the best that you've got."	Toni Morrison	\N	2019-01-02 04:35:43.533174

1710	"Genius is not a possession of the limited few, but exists in some degree in everyone. Where there is natural growth, a full and free play of faculties, genius will manifest itself."	Robert Henri	\N	2019-01-02 04:36:23.046557

1719	"Well, life isn't a cakewalk, is it?! Eighty-nine percent of the world's most valuable art was created by men living in rat-infested flats. You think VelÃ¡squez wore Adidas? You think he enjoyed the luxuries of central heating and twenty-four-hour pizza delivery?!"	Marisha Pessl	\N	2019-01-02 04:36:25.4044
1720	"What's with the serum?" I don't know, but it sounds ominous. We better put a telepathic direction finder on Benway. The man's not to be trusted.

1729	"Who but the artist has the power to open man up, to set free the imagination? The others - priest, teacher, saint, statesman, warrior - hold us to the path of history. They keep us chained to the rock, that the vultures may eat out our hearts. It is the artist who has the courage to go against the crowd; he is the unrecognized "hero of our time" - and of all time."

1755	"What I love about the sculpture is that it makes the bones that we are always walking and playing on manifest, like in a world that so often denies the reality of death and the reality that we are surrounded by and outnumbered by the dead. Here, is a very playful way of acknowledging that and acknowledging that and that always, whenever we play, whenever we live, we are living in both literal and metaphorical ways on the memory and bones of the dead."	John Green	\N	2019-01-02 04:36:38.61963

1772	"Photography is essentially an act of recognition by street photographers, not an act of invention. Photographers might respond to an old manâs face, or an Arbus freak, or the way light hits a buildingâand then they move on. Whereas in all the other art forms, take William Blake, everything that came to that paper never existed before. Itâs the idea of alchemy, of making something from nothing."

Steven Pressfield	The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks & Win Your Inner Creative Battles	2019-01-02 04:36:48.194802
1787	"There is something beautiful about a blank canvas, the nothingness of the beginning that is so simple and breathtakingly pure. Itâs the paint that changes its meaning and the hand that creates the story. Every piece begins the same, but in the end they are all uniquely different."	Piper Payne	\N	2019-01-02 04:36:48.727439

1791	"It is only in his work that an artist can find reality and satisfaction, for the actual world is less intense than the world of his invention and consequently his life, without recourse to violent disorder, does not seem very substantial. The right condition for him is that in which his work in not only convenient but unavoidable."	Tenessee Williams	\N	2019-01-02 04:36:49.754822
1821	"The artist is a collector of things imaginary or real. He accumulates things with the same enthusiasm that a little boy stuffs his pockets. The scrap heap and the museum are embraced with equal curiosity. He takes snapshots, makes notes and records impressions on tablecloths or newspapers, on backs of envelopes or matchbooks. Why one thing and not another is part of the mystery, but he is omnivorous."	Paul Rand	Paul Rand: A Designer's Art	2019-01-02 04:36:59.54368

1797	"Beauty may no longer be what it was before. It has become suspect and many have dethroned it from its art pedestal. A lot of questions are raised: "When" is art?", "What" is art?", "Can this be art?

1809	"This is the theoryâ¦ that anything that is artâ¦ is presumably about some certain thing, but is really always about something else, and itâs no good having one without the other, because if you just have the something it is boring and if you just have the something else itâs irritating."

1811	"The right art," cried the Master, "is purposeless, aimless! The more obstinately you try to learn how to shoot the arrow for the sake of hitting the goal, the less you will succeed in the one and the further the other will recede. What stands in your way is that you have a much too willful will. You think that what you do not do yourself does not happen."	Eugen Herrigel	\N	2019-01-02 04:36:54.949117

1836	"She soon learned, though, that giving weight to other people's opinions was creative nihilism; it was like being banished from the Land of No Words and exiled to the Land of All Bullshit."	Stephanie Kallos	Broken for You	2019-01-02 04:37:04.207967
1837	"Art is a kind of mining," he said. "The artist a variety of prospector searching for the sparkling silver of meaning in the earth."	Jane Urquhart	The Underpainter	2019-01-02 04:37:04.471146
1838	"I believe that if it were left to artists to choose their own labels, most would choose none."	Ben Shahm	\N	2019-01-02 04:37:04.739233
1839	"All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors."	Oscar Wilde	The Picture of Dorian Gray	2019-01-02 04:37:04.998688

1842	"There are no vital and significant forms of art; there is only art, and precious little of that."	Raymond Chandler	The Simple Art of Murder	2019-01-02 04:37:05.780724
1843	"I still see flaws in my work, everywhere I look. It's exhausting and mortifying and almost unbearable."	Becky Albertalli	Leah on the Offbeat	2019-01-02 04:37:06.041624
1844	"Without poets, without artists... everything would fall apart into chaos. There would be no more seasons, no more civilizations, no more thought, no more humanity, no more life even; and impotent darkness would reign forever. Poets and artists together determine the features of their age, and the future meekly conforms to their edit."	Guillaume Apollinaire	Selected Writings	2019-01-02 04:37:08.593096

There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it."	Arthur Conan Doyle	Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories, Volume I	2019-01-02 04:37:09.120174
1847	"I am the foremost collector of velvet Elvii in the city of Chicago," I said at once.   "Elvii?" Marcone inquired.  "The plural would be Elvises, I guess," I said.

1848	"If poets often commit suicide, it is not because their poems are bad but because they are good. Whoever heard of a bad poet committing suicide? The reader is only a little better off. The exhilaration of a good poem lasts twenty minutes, an hour at most.  Unlike the scientist, the artist has reentry problems that are frequent and catastrophic."	Walker Percy	Lost in the Cosmos: The Last Self-Help Book	2019-01-02 04:37:09.638341
1849	"Do you know that every great thing in the history of art and every beautiful thing in life is actually what you call nasty or has been caused by feelings that you would call nasty? By passion, by love, by hatred, by truth. Do you know that?"	John Fowles	The Collector	2019-01-02 04:37:09.892342

1863	"If the painter wishes to see beauties that charm him, it lies in his power to create them, and if he wishes to see monstrosities that are frightful, ridiculous, or truly pitiable, he is lord and God thereof."	Leonardo da Vinci	Leonardo's Notebooks	2019-01-02 04:37:13.547942
1864	"The task of a philosophy of photography is to reflect upon this possibility of freedom - and thus its significance - in a world dominated by apparatuses; to reflect upon the way in which, despite everything, it is possible for human beings to give significance to their lives in the face of the chance necessity of death. Such a philosophy is necessary because it is the only form of revolution left open to us."	VilÃ©m Flusser	Towards a Philosophy of Photography	2019-01-02 04:37:13.810397
1865	"We don't need more museums that try to construct the historical narratives of a society, community, team, nation, state, tribe, company, or species.

1867	"A cultured society that has fallen away from its religious traditions expects more from art than the aesthetic consciousness and the 'standpoint of art' can deliver. The Romantic desire for a new mythology... gives the artist and his task in the world the consciousness of a new consecration. He is something like a 'secular saviour' for his creations are expected to achieve on a small scale the propitiation of disaster for which an unsaved world hopes."	Hans-Georg Gadamer	Truth and Method	2019-01-02 04:37:14.588551
1868	"If there is on earth, and among all these things of nothing, a belief worthy of adoration, if there is anything holy, pure and sublime, anything answering that immoderate desire for the infinite and the vague that we call the soul, it is art."	Gustave Flaubert	Memoirs of a Madman	2019-01-02 04:37:14.861198
1870	"I feel like I'm in a film about a struggling artist who keeps getting up at all hours of the night to look at his big, blank empty canvas. And in a way I am. Except that i'm not struggling. I'm Hector Kipling. I might be getting up at all hours of the night to look at my big, blank, empty canvas, but I am not fucking struggling."	David Thewlis	The Late Hector Kipling	2019-01-02 04:37:15.38105

1875	"every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself."	Oscar Wilde	The Picture of Dorian Gray	2019-01-02 04:37:18.682593
1876	"I know the empathy borne of despair; I know the fluidity of thought, the expansive, even beautiful, mind that hypomania brings, and I know this is quicksilver and precious and often it's poison. There has always existed a sort of psychic butcher who works the scales of transcendence, who weighs out the bloody cost of true art."	David Lovelace	Scattershot: My Bipolar Family	2019-01-02 04:37:18.939959

1884	"Drawing is what you see of the world, truly see...And sometimes what you see is so deep in your head you're not even sure of what you're seeing. But when it's down there on paper, and you look at it, really look, you'll see the way things are...that's the world, isn't it? You have to keep looking to find the truth."

1886	"How can cosmic religious feeling be communicated from one person to another, if it can give rise to no definite notion of a God and no theology? In my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it alive in those who are receptive to it."	Albert Einstein	The World as I See It	2019-01-02 04:37:21.559338

1894	"I made art a philosophy, and philosophy an art: I altered the minds of men, and the colour of things: I awoke the imagination of my century so that it created myth and legend around me: I summed up all things in a phrase, all existence in an epigram: whatever I touched I made beautiful"	Oscar Wilde	De Profundis and Other Writings	2019-01-02 04:37:23.654095

1900	"Of course they won't bloody remember, they'll be dead.' Then she called him a name in a dead language that translated, roughly, to 'poop on a stick,' but sounded more succinct, like this: 'Of course they won't bloody remember, they'll be dead, Poopstick."	Christopher Moore	SacrÃ© Bleu: A Comedy d'Art	2019-01-02 04:37:25.223496
1902	"...[F]ireworks had for her a direct and magical appeal. Their attraction was more complex than that of any other form of art. They had pattern and sequence, colour and sound, brilliance and mobility; they had suspense, surprise, and a faint hint of danger; above all, they had the supreme quality of transience, which puts the keenest edge on beauty and makes it touch some spring in the heart which more enduring excellences cannot reach."	Jan Struther	Mrs. Miniver	2019-01-02 04:37:25.740102
1903	"That is an artist as I love artists, modest in his needs: he really wants only two things, his bread and his art - panem et Circen."	Friedrich Nietzsche	Twilight of the Idols	2019-01-02 04:37:26.000904
1904	"I do an awful lot of thinking and dreaming about things in the past and the future - the timelessness of the rocks and the hills - all the people who have existed there. I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show."	Andrew Wyeth	\N	2019-01-02 04:37:28.109787
1906	"Good art wounds as well as delights. It must, because our defenses against the truth are wound so tightly around us. But as art chips away at our defenses, it also opens us to healing potentialities that transcend intellectual games and ego-preserving strategies."	Rollo May	My Quest for Beauty	2019-01-02 04:37:28.636963

1909	"What has our culture lost in 1980 that the avant-garde had in 1890? Ebullience, idealism, confidence, the belief that there was plenty of territory to explore, and above all the sense that art, in the most disinterested and noble way, could find the necessary metaphors by which a radically changing culture could be explained to its inhabitants."	Robert Hughes	The Shock of the New	2019-01-02 04:37:29.420507
1910	"A piece of art comes to life, when we can feel, it is breathing, when it talks to us and starts raising questions. It may dispel biased perceptions; make us recognize ignored fragments and remember forsaken episodes of our life story. Art may sometimes even be nasty and disturbing, if we donât want to consent to its philosophy or concept, but it might, in the end, perhaps reconcile us with ourselves. ("When is Art?")"	Erik Pevernagie	\N	2019-01-02 04:37:29.685436

1915	"If you participate in life, you donât see it clearly: you suffer from it too much or enjoy it too much. The artist, to my way of thinking, is a monstrosity, something outside nature. All the misfortunes Providence inflicts on him come from his stubborness in denying that maxim."	Gustave Flaubert	\N	2019-01-02 04:37:30.985897
1916	"On the whole, lying is a cheerful affair. Embellishments are intended to give pleasure. People long to tell you what they imagine you want to hear. They want to amuse you; they want to amuse themselves; they want to show you a good time. This is beyond hospitality. This is art."

1921	"Art breaks open a dimension inaccessible to other experience, a dimension in which human beings, nature, and things no longer stand under the law of the established reality principle...The encounter with the truth of art happens in the estranging language and images which make perceptible, visible, and audible that which is no longer, or not yet, perceived, said, and heard in everyday life."

1934	"Mastering the art of seduction gives one a great power, and like any power, it's to be wielded with responsibility; a man who wields the art of seduction without a sense of responsibility and restraint is a walking proximity bomb of viral epidemics, needless procreation, heartbroken families, and shattered dreams."	Mike  Norton	\N	2019-01-02 04:37:38.251322

1941	"Our vanity, our passions, our spirit of imitation, our abstract intelligence, our habits have long been at work, and it is the task of art to undo this work of theirs, making us travel back in the direction from which we have come to the depths where what has really existed lies unknown within us."

1956	"When I was your age, art was a lonely thing: no galleries, no collecting, no critics, no money. We didn't have mentors. We didn't have parents. We were alone. But it was a great time, because we had nothing to lose and a vision to gain."	John Logan	Red	2019-01-02 04:37:44.096063

1958	"I have treated many artists. There are among them many neurotics, so many that one finally comes to believe that one cannot be an artist without being neurotic. Again I found in them that inner conflict which is characteristic of modern man: the conflict between a right intuition (namely, that their vocation has fundamental importance for the destiny of humanity) and a false idea (namely, that art is superfluous luxury)."	Paul Tournier	The Whole Person in a Broken World	2019-01-02 04:37:44.631576
1962	"For the canons of good society are, or should be, the same as the canons of art. Form is absolutely essential to it. It should have the dignity of a ceremony, as well as its unreality, and should combine the insincere character of a romantic play with the wit and beauty that make such plays delightful to us."

2003	"I do not know anything about Art with a capital A. What I do know about is my art. Because it concerns me. I do not speak for others.

2004	"Well, Daddy, I used to believe that artists went crazy in the process of creating the beautiful works of art that kept society sane. Nowadays, though, artists make intentionally ugly art thatâs only supposed to reflect society rather than inspire it.

2019	"I am for an art that imitates the human, that is comic, if necessary, or violent, or whatever is necessary.

Claes Oldenburg	\N	2019-01-02 04:38:05.198574
2020	"We can never be entirely original, as artists or as people. The genius and vision of those who came before us is too great for us to digress from entirely.

Do you ever look at the people in the street? Aren't you afraid of them? I am. They move past you and they wear hats and they carry bundles. But that's not the substance of them.

Most of these jokers don't even want to use language you and I know or can learn . . . they would rather sneer at us and be smug, because we 'fail' to see what they are driving at.

2074	"I love to drawâpencil, ink penâI love art. When I go on tour and visit museums in Holland, Germany or Englandâyou know those huge paintings?âIâm just amazed. You donât think a painter could do something like that. I can look at a piece of sculpture or a painting and totally lose myself in it."	Michael  Jackson	\N	2019-01-02 04:38:23.668556
2075	"A face that has the marks of having lived intensely, that expresses some phase of life, some dominant quality or intellectual power, constitutes for me an interesting face. For this reason the face of an older person, perhaps not beautiful in the strictest sense, is usually more appealing than the face of a younger person who has scarcely been touched by life."	Doris Ulmann	\N	2019-01-02 04:38:23.927498

2085	"Humans had built a world inside the world, which reflected it in pretty much the same way as a drop of water reflected the landscape. And yet ... and yet ...  Inside this little world they had taken pains to put all the things you might think they would want to escape from â hatred, fear, tyranny, and so forth. Death was intrigued. They thought they wanted to be taken out of themselves, and every art humans dreamt up took them further	Terry Pratchett	Wyrd Sisters	2019-01-02 04:38:28.663832

2091	"Modern romance, like Greek tragedy, celebrates the mystery of dismemberment, which is life in time. The happy ending is justly scorned as a misrepresentation; for the world, as we know it, as we have seen it, yields but one ending: death, disintegration, dismemberment, and the crucifixion of our heart with the passing of the forms that we have loved."	Joseph Campbell	The Hero With a Thousand Faces	2019-01-02 04:38:30.218036
2092	"It's a very salutary thing to realize that the rather dull universe in which most of us spend most of our time is not the only universe there is.

2094	"And whenever any one informs us that he has found a man who knows all the arts, and all things else that anybody knows, and every single thing with a higher degree of accuracy than any other man âwhoever tells us this, I think that we can only imagine him to be a simple creature who is likely to have been deceived by some wizard or actor whom he met, and whom he thought all-knowing, because he himself was unable to analyze the nature of knowledge and ignorance and imitation."

2097	"You know a trillion times more about art than me. But Iâve learned that it isnât necessary to know all that much. You just make what you wanna see, right? Itâs a game, right? Itâs like being paid for dreaming."	Tom Robbins	Skinny Legs and All	2019-01-02 04:38:31.77815

2099	"He thought of trying to explain something he had recently noticed about himself: that if anyone insulted him, or one of his friends, he didn't really mind--or not much, anyway. Whereas if anyone insulted a novel, a story, a poem that he loved, something visceral and volcanic occurred within him. He wasn't sure what this might mean--except perhaps that he had got life and art mixed up, back to front, upside down."	Julian Barnes	\N	2019-01-02 04:38:32.291097
2101	"You cannot create a piece of art merely for money. Doing it as part of commerce so denudes art of wonder that it ceases to be art."	Seth Godin	Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?	2019-01-02 04:38:32.844965

2108	"Your paintings are staggeringly beautiful. Did I ever tell you that,or was I just too concerned that you weren't going to earn a living? I know the answer...I worried that the paint was so thickly applied that it might snap off and ruin someone's carpet, rather than realizing that you'd made color itself tactile."

2114	"A picture lives by companionship, expanding and quickening in the eyes of the sensitive observer. It dies by the same token. It is therefore risky to send it out into the world. How often it must be impaired by the eyes of the unfeeling and the cruelty of the impotent."	Mark Rothko	\N	2019-01-02 04:38:38.143437
2115	"The mask of art is the means through which corruption is spread. The mask makes vice seem beautiful, turns squalor and nastiness into glamorous thrill, seduces the onlooker into the game â and leaves him or her with the corpse on his hands."	Jennifer Birkett	\N	2019-01-02 04:38:38.400277
2116	"The poets are supposed to liberate the words â not chain them in phrases. Who told the poets they were supposed to think? Poets are meant to sing and to make words sing.

2120	"The best thing to do is to loosen my grip on my pen and let it go wandering about until it finds an entrance. There must be one â everything depends on the circumstances, a rule applicable as much to literary style as to life. Each word tugs another one along, one idea another, and that is how books, governments and revolutions are made â some even say that is how Nature created her species."	Machado de Assis	\N	2019-01-02 04:38:39.716135

2123	"There is neither a proportional relationship, nor an inverse one, between a writerâs estimation of a work in progress & its actual quality. The feeling that the work is magnificent, & the feeling that it is abominable, are both mosquitoes to be repelled, ignored, or killed, but not indulged."	Annie Dillard	The Writing Life	2019-01-02 04:38:40.513807

2125	"My art is an attempt to reach beyond the surface appearance. I want to see growth in wood, time in stone, nature in a city, and I do not mean its parks but a deeper understanding that a city is nature too-the ground upon which it is built, the stone with which it is made."	Andy Goldsworthy	\N	2019-01-02 04:38:41.037878
2126	"In eleven or twelve years of writing, Mike, I can lay claim to at least this: I have never written beneath myself. I have never written anything that I didn't want my name attached to. I have probed deeper in some scripts and I've been more successful in some than others. But all of them that have been on, you know, I'll take my lick. They're mine and that's the way I wanted them."	Rod Serling	\N	2019-01-02 04:38:41.303355
2127	"The best literature is always a take [in the musical sense]; there is an implicit risk in its execution, a margin of danger that is the pleasure of the flight, of the love, carrying with it a tangible loss but also a total engagement that, on another level, lends the theater its unparalleled imperfection faced with the perfection of film.  I donât want to write anything but takes."	Julio CortÃ¡zar	Around the Day in Eighty Worlds	2019-01-02 04:38:41.561442

2129	"Technology adds nothing to art. Two thousand years ago, I could tell you a story, and at any point during the story I could stop, and ask, Now do you want the hero to be kidnapped, or not? But that would, of course, have ruined the story. Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision."	Penn Jillette	\N	2019-01-02 04:38:42.102015

2136	"I think women dwell quite a bit on the duress under which they work, on how hard it is just to do it at all. We are traditionally rather proud of ourselves for having slipped creative work in there between the domestic chores and obligations. I'm not sure we deserve such big A-pluses for all that."

2145	"The one thing you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can. The moment that you feel that just possibly you are walking down the street nakedâ¦thatâs the moment you may be starting to get it right."	Neil Gaiman	Make Good Art	2019-01-02 04:38:48.380769
2149	"To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams."	Giorgio de Chirico	\N	2019-01-02 04:38:49.418423

2154	"Now, before you make a movie, you have to have a script, and before you have a script, you have to have a story; though some avant-garde directors have tried to dispense with the latter item, you'll find their work only at art theaters."	Arthur C. Clarke	2001: A Space Odyssey	2019-01-02 04:38:50.90697

2162	"In my early work, I tried to hide my personality, my psychological state, my emotions. This was partly due to my feelings about myself and party due to my feelings about painting at the time. I sort of stuck to my guns for a while but eventually it seemed like a losing battle. Finally one must simply drop the reserve."	Jasper Johns	\N	2019-01-02 04:38:52.987613
2163	"If a certain activity, such as painting, becomes the habitual mode of expression, it may follow that taking up the painting materials and beginning work with them will act suggestively and so presently evoke a flight into the higher state."	Robert Henri	\N	2019-01-02 04:38:53.255037

2168	"All works of nonfiction, or memoir, have to first and foremost be art before they can be true. They have to be artful first before they can be truthful... If you emphasize the truth-telling at the expense of art, nobody is going to be interested in it. And if you sacrifice truth in the name of art, you risk triviality. There's a constant balance between those two."	Alan Shapiro	\N	2019-01-02 04:38:54.552634
2169	"It starts off like climbing a tree or solving a puzzle - poetry, if nothing else, is just fun to write. But deeper into each and every piece, you no longer hesitate to call it work. It's passion. A poet's sense of lyrical accomplishment is then his food and water, his means of survival."	Criss Jami	Killosophy	2019-01-02 04:38:54.810572

2191	"Color which, like music, is a matter of vibrations, reaches what is most general and therefore most indefinable in nature: its inner power."	Paul Gauguin	\N	2019-01-02 04:39:02.328029
2192	"Once upon a time there were mass media, and they were wicked, of course, and there was a guilty party. Then there were the virtuous voices that accused the criminals. And Art (ah, what luck!) offered alternatives, for those who were not prisoners to the mass media.  Well, it's all over. We have to start again from the beginning, asking one another what's going on."	Umberto Eco	Travels in Hyperreality	2019-01-02 04:39:02.586319

2200	"Wonderful art can spring from misery,I'm the last person to deny that.I'd go even further:the best works of art of all time are probably stemmed from the deep human sorrow or hellish frustration,the death of a loved one or a divorce and yes:jealousy.Heartache and impotence as the man-spring for making the unverifiable verifiable and for giving it face.How romantic,beautiful and especially useful pain and misery can be."

2211	"If thereâs a thing, a scene, maybe, an image that you want to see real bad, that you need to see but it doesnât exist in the world around you, at least not in the form that you envision, then you create it so that you can look at it and have it around, or show it to other people who wouldnât have imagined it because they perceive reality in a more narrow, predictable way. And thatâs it. Thatâs all an artist does."	Tom Robbins	Skinny Legs and All	2019-01-02 04:39:09.854632

2215	"Is being burnt a requisite for the making of art? Personally, I don't think it is. But art is poultice for a burn.

2226	"There is something about the act of studying an unclothed body, as an artist does, that allows a person to appreciate it as pure form, regardless of the kinds of traits traditionally regarded as imperfections. In a figure drawing class, an obese woman's folds of flesh take on a kind of beauty. You can look at a man's shrunken chest or legs or buttocks with tenderness. Age is not ugly, just poignant."	Joyce Maynard	The Good Daughters	2019-01-02 04:39:13.779178

2229	"Life itself has lost its plane reality: it is projected, not along the old fixed points, but along the dynamic coordinates of Einstein, of revolution. In this new projection, the best-known formulas and objects become displaced, fantastic, familiar-unfamiliar. This is why it is so logical for literature today to be drawn to the fantastic plot, or to the amalgam of reality and fantasy. ("The New Russian Prose")"	Yevgeny Zamyatin	\N	2019-01-02 04:39:14.563724
2230	"Art is creative for the sake of realization, not for amusement: for transfiguration, not for the sake of play. It is the quest of our self that drives us along the eternal and never-ending journey we must all make."	Max Beckmann	\N	2019-01-02 04:39:14.822039

2232	"In the moment before I crossed over, I knew that the priests and magicians of Egypt were fools and charlatans for promising to prolong the beauties of life beyond the world we are give. Death is no enemy, but the foundation of gratitude, sympathy, and art. All of life's pleasures, only love owes no debt to death."	Anita Diamant	\N	2019-01-02 04:39:15.347632

2238	"I do strongly feel that among the greatest pieces of luck for high achievement is ordeal. Certain great artists can make out without it, Titian and others, but mostly you need ordeal. My idea is this: the artist is extremely lucky who is presented with the worst possible ordeal which will not actually kill him. At that point, he's in business: Beethoven's deafness, Goya's deafness, Milton's blindness, that kind of thing."	John Berryman	\N	2019-01-02 04:39:18.579836
2239	"What keeps earth air breathable? Not oxygen alone. The earth is a freer place to breathe in, every time you love without calculating a return -- every time you make your drudgeries and routines still more inefficient by stopping to experience the shock of beauty wherever it unpredictably flickers."

2253	"The truth is, anyone who puts so much of herself and her life into art as you do must naturally fear any failure in that art as a potential threat to your life. And so you protect your art more than you protect your health or the common forms of happiness the rest of us have. And you probably have this in common with every artist you admire."	Arthur Phillips	The Song Is You	2019-01-02 04:39:22.516915

2272	"All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music. For while in all other kinds of art it is possible to distinguish the matter from the form, and the understanding can always make this distinction, yet it is the constant effort of art to obliterate it."	Walter Pater	\N	2019-01-02 04:39:29.244234
2273	"It's impossible for a creative artist to be either a Puritan or a Fascist, because both are a negation of the creative urge. The only things a creative artist can be opposed to are ugliness and injustice."	Liam O'Flaherty	\N	2019-01-02 04:39:29.504154

2282	"A corollary of this has been that Christians have thought that they should only create art with a Pollyanna quality to it: paintings of birds and kittens, movies that extol family life and end happily, songs that are positive and uplifting â in short, works of art that show a world that is almost unfallen where no one experiences conflict and where sin is naughty rather than wicked."

2320	"Lines are results, do not draw them for themselves. ... Lines give birth to lines. Drawing is not following a line on the model, it is drawing your sense of the thing. ... Make a drawing flow, stopping sometimes, and going on. ... Search for the simple constructive forces, line the lines of a suspension bridge. Get the few main lines and see what lines they call out. ... Have purpose in the places where lines stop."	Robert Henri	\N	2019-01-02 04:39:43.654089

2324	"...itâs just another one of those things I donât understand: everyone impresses upon you how unique you are, encouraging you to cultivate your individuality while at the same time trying to squish you and everyone else into the same ridiculous mould.

2345	"Whether you dance, draw, make music, shoot field goals, build houses, tune engines, or sit around all day watching television, you are an artist. Your single greatest work of art is your self. As with any art form, the more you understand and develop your talents, the more empowered and masterful you become as an artist.

2355	"Photography is like stealing.You rob someone of a moment that exposes something essential about their character,their soul if you like.there are people who are very conscious of that,who find that terrifying.The thought that everyone,friend of foe,can get so close to you,look you straight in the eye and judge you without having any control over it or being able to respond.A part of them has become the property of the photographer."

2361	"Art is an act of the soul, not the intellect. When we are dealing with people's dreams - their visions, really - we are in the realm of the sacred. We are involved with forces and energies larger than our own. We are engaged in a sacred transaction of which we know only a little: the shadow, not the shape."	Julia Cameron	\N	2019-01-02 04:39:58.735287
2362	"Pornography wonât be enough. Because it never is. Sooner or later, all niggers want to touch the real thing. All dogs want to smell and taste the true information.

2363	"A comparably capacious embrace of beauty and pleasure - an embrace that somehow extends to death as well as life, to dissolution as well as creation - characterizes Montaigne's restless reflections on matter in motion, Cervantes's chronicle of his mad knight, Michelangelo's depiction of flayed skin, Leonardo's sketches of whirlpools, Caravaggio's loving attention to the dirty soles of Christ's feet."

2366	"On the opposite wall was a Damien Hirst spot painting, bought by Arabella after a decent bonus season. Roger's considered view of the painting, looking at it from aesthetic, art-historical, interior-design, and psychological points of view, was that it had cost forty-seven thousand pounds, plus VAT."

2368	"To devote yourself to the creation and enjoyment of beauty, then, can be a serious businessânot always necessarily a means of escaping reality, but sometimes a means of holding on to the real when everything is flaking away intoâ¦ rhetoric and plot."	Elizabeth Gilbert	Eat, Pray, Love	2019-01-02 04:40:00.593912
2369	"I believe the visionaries and true reflections of society will be rewarded after their lives. Those being rewarded now are giving the public what it needs now, usually applauding its current state and clearing consciences."	Hollace M. Metzger	\N	2019-01-02 04:40:00.851208
2370	"True art is thoughtful, emotional examination of how human themes impact the overall experience of existing. The rest is kitsch."	Tiffany Madison	\N	2019-01-02 04:40:01.108928

2376	"There was the honour and austerity of money as he walked through art galleries, as he saw around him the collections of oil paintings by dead men, lit so carefully that warmth seemed to emanate from within - and not because their art was loved or understood but because it could be sold and bought for handsome sums."

2382	"True freedom only exists in art.The problem is you have to be incredibly good.No,I am putting it wrong:You don't so much have to be outstanding,what you really need are connections,if you don't want to be dependent on all kinds of government foundations who will impose their ideas and restrictions on you in turn.It can be touch and go in the beginning:It takes guts to let go of everything.But you make it,you're free."

2392	"It is not metres, but a metre-making argument that makes a poem,âa thought so passionate and alive that like the spirit of a plant or an animal it has an architecture of its own, and adorns nature with a new thing. The thought and the form are equal in the order of time, but in the order of genesis the thought is prior to the form."	Ralph Waldo Emerson	Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson	2019-01-02 04:40:09.47481

2398	"Gormenghast.  Withdrawn and ruinous it broods in umbra: the immemorial masonry: the towers, the tracts. Is all corroding? No. Through an avenue of spires a zephyr floats; a bird whistles; a freshet beats away from a choked river. Deep in a fist of stone a doll's hand wriggles, warm rebellious on the frozen palm. A shadow shifts its length. A spider stirs...  And darkness winds between the characters. - Gormenghast"	Mervyn Peake	\N	2019-01-02 04:40:11.050571
2399	"The verb 'to darn' is explained in my pocket dictionary as follows: 'To mend by imitating the texture of the stuff, with thread and needle.' But this definition does not correspond to the work accomplished by good Chinese housewives. When they mend a sock, they do not try 'to imitate the texture of the stuff'. Their art makes no attempt at concealment: it even takes a certain pride in revealing itself."	Daniele VarÃ¨	The Maker of Heavenly Trousers	2019-01-02 04:40:11.312301
2400	"Keep music and art alive in our schools because the greatness of a country is not measured by wars that are won, by territory annexed or even the size of a deficit. It is measured by the beauty of the art work by talented hands, the sounds of the music created from the heart and by the wonder of the eyes and ears beholding them in joy. Art and music are the windows of the soul of any country. The greater the art created, the greater the country."	Clarrissa Lee Moon	\N	2019-01-02 04:40:11.592349

2403	"A hundred francs! Oh, dear me! It is worth millions of francs, my child. But my -- dealer -- here tells me that in fact a picture is worth only what someone will give for it. How much money do you have?" Julia took out her purse and counted. "Four francs and twenty sous," she said, looking up at him sadly. "Is that all the money you have in the world?" She nodded. "Then four francs and twenty sous it is."	Iain Pears	The Dream of Scipio	2019-01-02 04:40:12.386022
2404	"The darkness behind my closed eyelids was like the cloud-covered sky, but the gray was somewhat deeper. Every few minutes, someone would come and paint over the gray with a different-textured gray - one with a touch of gold or green or red. I was impressed with the variety of grays that existed. Human beings were so strange. All you had to do was sit still for ten minutes, and you could see this amazing variety of grays."	Haruki Murakami	The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle	2019-01-02 04:40:12.644403

2410	"The 'Renaissance' West Butchered the Rest. If I had to choose between an erudite Aristotle and an unknown âsoullessâ black slave I would choose the latter.

2413	"A work of art wastes away and becomes lustreless in surroundings where it has a price but not a value. It radiates only when surrounded by love. It is bound to wilt in a world where the rich have no time and the cultivated no money. But it never harmonizes with borrowed greatness."	Ernst JÃ¼nger	The Glass Bees	2019-01-02 04:40:17.195215
2414	"It is hard to think of any work of art of which one can say 'this saved the life of one Jew, one Vietnamese, one Cambodian'. Specific books, perhaps; but as far as one can tell, no paintings or sculptures. The difference between us and the artists of the 1920's is that they they thought such a work of art could be made. Perhaps it was a certain naivete that made them think so. But it is certainly our loss that we cannot."	Robert Hughes	The Shock of the New	2019-01-02 04:40:17.452159

2419	"This world in which we live needs beauty in order not to sink into despair.

2420	"At last everything was satisfactorily arranged, and I could not help admiring the setting: these mingled touches betrayed on a small scale the inspiration of a poet, the research of a scientist, the good taste of an artist, the gourmetâs fondness for good food, and the love of flowers, which concealed in their delicate shadows a hint of the love of women"	August Strindberg	Madman's Defence	2019-01-02 04:40:19.033509
2422	"Think it a vile habit to alter works of good composers, to omit parts of them, or to insert new-fashioned ornaments. This is the greatest insult you can offer to Art."	Robert Schumann	Advice to Young Musicians	2019-01-02 04:40:19.548366
2425	"Art creates an incomparable and unique effect, and, having done so, passes on to other things. Nature, upon the other hand, forgetting that that imitation can be made the sincerest form of insult, keeps on repeating this effect until we all become absolutely wearied of it."	Oscar Wilde	The Decay of Lying	2019-01-02 04:40:20.361315
2426	"In a sense, the first (if not necessarily the prime) function of a novelist, of ANY artist, is to entertain. If the poem, painting, play or novel does not immediately engage one's surface interest then it has failed. Whatever else it may or may not be, art is also entertainment. Bad art fails to entertain.

2550	"(The Mona Lisa), that really is the ugliest portrait Iâve seen, the only thing that supposedly makes it famous is the mystery behind it,â Katherine admitted as she remembered her trips to the Louvre and how she shook her head at the poor tourists crowding around to see a jaundiced, eyebrow-less lady that reminded her of tight-lipped Washington on the dollar bill. Surely, they could have chosen a better portrait of the First President for their currency?"	E.A. Bucchianeri	Brushstrokes of a Gadfly,	2019-01-02 04:41:03.015715
2551	"[Picasso] loved...women for the sexual, carnivorous impulses they aroused in him. Mixing blood and sperm, he exalted women in his paintings, imposed his violence on them, and sentenced them to death once he felt their mystery had been discharged and the sexual power they instilled in him had dulled... Women were his prey. He was the Minotaur. These were bloody, indecent bullfights from which he always emerged the dazzling victor."	Marina Picasso	\N	2019-01-02 04:41:03.27647

2553	"Carrie felt this as a personal reproof. She read "Dora Thorne," or had a great deal in the past. It seemed only fair to her, but she supposed that people thought it very fine. Now this clear- eyed, fine-headed youth, who looked something like a student to her, made fun of it. It was poor to him, not worth reading. She looked down, and for the first time felt the pain of not understanding."	Theodore Dreiser	Sister Carrie	2019-01-02 04:41:03.816747
2555	"Admittedly, art is somewhat like spit. It does not repulse or even worry is while it is still inside of us, but once it exits our body, it becomes disgusting."	Ivan Brunetti	\N	2019-01-02 04:41:04.333352
2556	"This highest kind of truth is never something the artist takes as given. It's not his point of departure but his goal. Though the artist has beliefs, like other people, he realizes that a salient characteristic of art is its radical openness to persuasion. Even those beliefs he's surest of, the artist puts under pressure to see if they will stand."	John Gardner	The Art of Fiction: Notes on Craft for Young Writers	2019-01-02 04:41:04.590381

2585	"The painted aircraft took on sunlight and pulse. Sweeps of color, bands and spatters, airy washes, the force of saturated lightâthe whole thing oddly personal, a sense of one painterâs hand moved by impulse and afterthought as much as by epic design. I hadnât expected to register such pleasure and sensation. The air was color-scrubbed, coppers and ochers burning off the metal skin of the aircraft to exchange with the framing desert."

Even when itâs perfect.â Millie drew a deep breath as if she remembered how perfect it had truly been. âThe most intimate thing we can do is to allow the people we love most to see us at our worst.

2612	"I sat on the bed. I looked at the Rorschach blot. I tried to make it look like a spreading tree, shadows pooled beneath it, but it didn't. It looked more like a dead cat I once found, the fat, glistening grubs writhing blindly, squirming over each other, frantically tunneling away from the light. But even that isn't the real horror. The horror is this: in the end, it is simply a picture of empty meaningless blackness."	Alan Moore	Watchmen	2019-01-02 05:03:50.570758

Friedrich Nietzsche	The Will to Power	2019-01-02 05:03:50.840937
2616	"We have created a manic world nauseous with the pursuit of material wealth. Many also bear their cross of imagined deprivation, while their fellow human beings remain paralyzed by real poverty.

Anthon St. Maarten	\N	2019-01-02 05:03:51.647388
2618	"We are living in the era of premeditation and the perfect crime. Our criminals are no longer helpless children who could plead love as their excuse.

2633	"He was simply someone who floated through our lives and didn't seem to care how flatly he perceived everyone or that he'd shared our secret failures with the world, showcasing the youthful indifference, the gleaming nihilism, glamorizing the horror of it all."	Bret Easton Ellis	Imperial Bedrooms	2019-01-02 05:03:58.456959
2636	"The priest therefore saw what the anchorite could not. That God needs no witness. Neither to himself nor against. The truth is rather that if there were no God then there could be no witness for there could be no identity to the world but only each man's opinion of it. The priest saw that there is no man who is elect because there is no man who is not. To God every man is a heretic."	Cormac McCarthy	\N	2019-01-02 05:03:59.227226
2637	"Despite its successes, in the end, philosophical thinking always falls short of its real goal. It involves both the wonder of aspiring toward the Truth and the distress of falling short of that Truth. In this way, philosophy can be characterized as wondrous distress."	John Marmysz	The Path of Philosophy: Truth, Wonder, and Distress	2019-01-02 05:03:59.484816

2644	"Iâve always been suspicious of the assumption that great intelligence would be an unqualified benefitâ that the madness that so often accompanies it can be cavalierly dismissed. So I asked the question: Suppose there were an entire subpopulation of extreme geniuses, well beyond anything that would occur naturally. What would that really look like?"	Andrew M.

2647	"â¦ the major enemy of black survival in America has been and is neither oppression nor exploitation but rather the nihilistic threatâthat is, loss of hope and absence of meaning. For as long as hope remains and meaning is preserved, the possibility of overcoming oppression stays alive. The self-fulfilling prophecy of the nihilistic threat is that without hope there can be no future, that without meaning there can be no struggle."	Cornel West	Race Matters	2019-01-02 05:04:02.152458
2648	"You have to take an interest in something in life, I told myself. I wondered what could interest me, now that I was finished with love. I could take a course in wine tasting, maybe, or start collecting model aeroplanes."	Michel Houellebecq	Soumission	2019-01-02 05:04:02.411184

2658	"Bruno withdrew from the field of history more resolutely than Vigo; that is why I prefer the formerâs retrospect but the latterâs prospect.

2661	"Whereas a belief in an absurd world arises out of the fundamental disharmony of a person searching for meaning in an apparently meaninglessness universe, an existential nihilist displays impassive intellectual stoicism towards their eventual mortality while embracing a passionate artistic commitment to munity against the underlying syndrome of insignificance and confusion encasing life."

2665	"Our planet is a freak which we shall destroy by our own wicked senseless activities in the next century. Our history will very soon come to an end.

2694	"Both Bratva and thieves in law would like to call themselves nihilists and anarchists because they donât support the established government, but they govern nonetheless, and you canât be an anarchist unless you follow its rule.

2696	"My consultants recommended several nihilists and existentialists but I rejected them all. A black turtleneck sweater does not a misanthrope make. Nihilists and existentialists tend to be bohemians, who invariably run in packs; despite their alienated stance, they have always struck me as a sociable lot who surround themselves with people because they are forever saying "Nothing matters," and they need someone to say it to."

2698	"Like alcoholism and drug addiction, nihilism is a disease of the soul. It can never be completely cured, and there is always the possibility of relapse.

2821	"I must note here that even among us the process of the hardening, the crystallization of life has evidently not been completed; there are still some steps to be ascended before we reach the ideal.

2827	"The deflation, or flattening out, of values in Modern art does not necessarily indicate an ethical nihilism.

2839	"As a nihilist, I recognize that meaning does not exist. If we exterminate ourselves as a species, and vaporize our beautiful world, the universe will not cry with us (a condition called the pathetic fallacy). No gods will intervene.

2846	"humanity suffers terribly from the demons it has created over lengths of time.  we learn from nothing that we do. we create religions, heritage, race, traditions, then they all in turn become our stumbling blocks from becoming one. we suffer from the creations of our own inability to interpret history. the only thing we have succeded on is seperation.we are not that different from one another as we think we are. but we are too corrupted to break our deconstruction."

2934	"Believe me there is no such thing as great suffering, great regret, great memory....everything is forgotten, even a great love. That's what's sad about life, and also what's wonderful about it. There is only a way of looking at things, a way that comes to you every once in a while. That's why it's good to have had love in your life after all, to have had an unhappy passion- it gives you an alibi for the vague despairs we all suffer from."

2938	"Some care is needed in using Descartes' argument. "I think, therefore I am" says rather more than is strictly certain. It might seem as though we are quite sure of being the same person to-day as we were yesterday, and this is no doubt true in some sense. But the real Self is as hard to arrive at as the real table, and does not seem to have that absolute, convincing certainty that belongs to particular experiences."

2939	"Sky is not a limit for me; because I have no limit for myself in life. Because life is a world full of risk taking and possibilities.

2943	"Perhaps love is a minor madness. And as with madness, it's unendurable alone. The one person who can relieve us is of course the sole person we cannot go to: the one we love. So instead we seek out allies, even among strangers and wives, fellow patients who, if they can't touch the edge of our particular sorrow, have felt something that cuts nearly as deep."	Andrew Sean Greer	The Story of a Marriage	2019-01-02 05:10:14.35724
2944	"On the whole, men are more good than bad; that, however, isn't the real point. But they are more or less ignorant, and it is this that we call vice or virtue; the most incorrigible vice being that of an ignorance that fancies it knows everything and therefore claims for itself the right to kill. The soul of the murderer is blind; and there can be no true goodness nor true love without the utmost clear-sightedness."	Albert Camus	\N	2019-01-02 05:10:14.626161

2947	"What is meant here by saying that existence precedes essence? It means first of all, man exists, turns up, appears on the scene, and, only afterwards, defines himself. If man, as the existentialist conceives him, is indefinable, it is because at first he is nothing. Only afterward will he be something, and he himself will have made what he will be."

Friedrich Nietzsche	Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks	2019-01-02 05:10:23.108299
2968	"There wasn't a single item of importance [in the newspaper]. A tower of illusion, all of it, made of illusory bricks and full of holes. If life were made up only of imporant things, it really would be a dangerous house of glass, scarcely to be handled carelessly. But everyday life was exactly like the headlines. And so everybody, knowing the meaninglessness of existence, sets the centre of his compass at his own home."	Abe KÅbÅ	The Woman in the Dunes	2019-01-02 05:10:23.373334

2976	"Indeed, compulsive and rigid moralism arises in given persons precisely as the result of a lack of sense of being.

2979	"But what are a hundred million deaths? When one has served in a war, one hardly knows what a dead man is, after a while. And since a dead man has no substance unless one has actually seen him dead, a hundred million corpses broadcast through history are no more than a puff of smoke in the imagination."	Albert Camus	\N	2019-01-02 05:10:26.640985

2982	"When a lack of white blood cells exposes the horizon of being, one has to make a choice.

2989	"What gave you this idea of an imperfect god?'  'I don't know. It seems quite feasible to me.

2990	"It seemed funny that one day I would go to bed in her arms and the next not feel anything, like a switch had gone off. But no, that wasnât honest either. This had been building for a long time. Our silences were getting longer. Our arguments more frequent. How do you stay with someone when there are no dreams to build? No purpose to accomplish? No meaning?

2997	"I want to see the world without explaining away its mystery by calling things wicked, righteous, sinful, and good. I want to erase in myself the easy explanations, the always mendacious explanations about why things happen the way they do, and in this way, come to know the mystery of beingâ-not by any approximation in thought, but by being. I want to be and not be ashamed of being."	Therese Doucet	A Lost Argument	2019-01-02 05:10:33.671795
2998	"In some remote corner of the universe, poured out and glittering in innumerable solar systems, there once was a star on which clever animals invented knowledge.

3006	"There comes a time in history when the man who dares to say that two and two make four is punished with death. The schoolteacher is well aware of this. And the question is not one of knowing what punishment or reward attends the making of this calculation. The question is that of knowing whether two and two do make four."	Albert Camus	\N	2019-01-02 05:10:36.169124

3008	"Therefore, it is we who are responsible for much of the evil in the world; and we are each morally required to accept rather than project that ponderous responsibility-lest we prefer instead to wallow in a perennial state of powerless, frustrated, furious, victimhood.

3009	"All she had to do was make the simplest of gestures - open her hands and let go her hold. She lifted one hand and moved the fingers of it; they responded, in surprise and obedience, and this obedience of a thousand little unsuspected muscles was in itself a miracle. Why ask for more?"	Simone de Beauvoir	She Came to Stay	2019-01-02 05:10:36.949916
3010	"Integrity is unity of the personality; it implies being brutally honest with ourselves about our intentionality. Since intentionality is inextricably bound up with the daimonic, this is never an easy, nor always pleasant pursuit. But being willing to admit our daimonic tendencies - to know them consciously and to wisely oversee them - brings with it the invaluable blessing of freedom, vigor, inner strength, and self-acceptance."	Stephen A. Diamond	Anger, Madness, and the Daimonic	2019-01-02 05:10:37.220043
3011	"And, on a wide view, I could see that it makes little difference whether one dies at the age of thirty or threescore and tenâsince, in either case, other men and women will continue living, the world will go on as before. Also, whether I died now or forty years hence, this business of dying had to be got through, inevitably. Still, somehow this line of thought wasn't as consoling as it should have been; the idea of all those years of life in hand was a galling reminder!"

3020	"Deep within every human being there still lives the anxiety over the possibility of being alone in the world, forgotten by God, overlooked among the millions and millions in this enormous household. One keeps this anxiety at a distance by looking at the many round about who are related to him as kin and friends, but the anxiety is still there, nevertheless, and one hardly dares think of how he would feel if all this were taken away."	Soren Kieekegaard	\N	2019-01-02 05:10:42.049425

Albert Camus	The Stranger	2019-01-02 05:10:42.821758
3024	"What is the ideal for mental health, then? A lived, compelling illusion that does not lie about life, death, and reality; one honest enough to follow its own commandments: I mean, not to kill, not to take the lives of others to justify itself."	Ernest Becker	\N	2019-01-02 05:10:43.084008
3025	"The Expulsion from Paradise is eternal in its principal aspect: this makes it irrevocable, and our living in this world inevitable, but the eternal nature of the process has the effect that not only could we remain forever in Paradise, but that we are currently there, whether we know it or not."

3053	"There is no unmoving mover behind the movement. It is only movement. It is not correct to say that life is moving, but life is movement itself. Life and movement are not two different things. In other words, there is no thinker behind the thought. Thought itself is the thinker. If you remove the thought, there is no thinker to be found."	Walpola Rahula	What the Buddha Taught	2019-01-02 05:10:52.977499

3058	"Man's first expression, like his first dream, was an aesthetic one. Speech was a poetic outcry rather than a demand for communication.

In this way the noble life stands opposed to the common or inert life, which reclines statically upon itself, condemned to perpetual immobility, unless an external force compels it to come out of itself.

3358	"Hope is an all seeing eye that triangles the eternal humbleness in our existence. Hope is what makes us smile through our unwavering faith. When we hope, we organize our details to become conscious citizens of the world."	Luis Enrique Cavazos	The Five Virtues That Awaken Your Life	2019-01-02 05:12:36.244679
3359	"To fully appreciate the depth of love, we must captivate ourselves in the moment. Whether it is fate or humanism, it produces a great capacity for happiness with a throw in of anxiety, grief, and isolation. Use those whales as an insidious beginning to produce meaning and humility in your life."	Luis Enrique Cavazos	The Five Virtues That Awaken Your Life	2019-01-02 05:12:36.509771
3360	"What is meant here by saying that existence precedes essence? It means that, first of all, man exists, turns up, appears on the scene, and, only afterwards, defines himself.... Not only is man what he conceives himself to be, but he is also only what he wills himself to be after this thrust toward existence.   Whereas a table is a table is a table, humans have no preexisting essence and so define themselves,"	Gordon Marino	Ethics: The Essential Writings	2019-01-02 05:12:36.775977
3362	"I wanted to explain myself to myself in an understandable way. I gave shape to my fears and made excuses. I varied my velocities, watched myselves sleep. Something's not right about what I'm doing but I'm still doing it-- living in the worst parts, ruining myself. My inner life is a sheet of black glass. If I fell through the floor I would keep falling.  The enormity of my desire disgusts me."	Richard Siken	War of the Foxes	2019-01-02 05:12:39.605263
3363	"You are only excused for happiness and success if you generously agree to share them. But if one is to be happy, one should not worry too much about other people - which means there is no way out.  Happy and judged or absolved and miserable."	Albert Camus	\N	2019-01-02 05:12:39.870077
3364	"A person experiences anxiety when they realize their insignificance in the cosmic field, which present state of angst can exacerbated by other confusing life questions."	Kilroy J. Oldster	Dead Toad Scrolls	2019-01-02 05:12:40.128571
3365	"Atheists are the most honest of the human race. These people are unable to live a double life; they are unable to lie to themselves. Of course it's an evolutionary handicap, and if that handicap was widespread, our species would run the risk of extinction"	Bangambiki Habyarimana	Pearls Of Eternity	2019-01-02 05:12:40.409504

3386	"An atheist is someone who is disappointed in his search of god. He is a man who strongly needed god but couldn't find him. Atheism is a cry of despair"	Bangambiki Habyarimana	Pearls Of Eternity	2019-01-02 05:12:46.098032
3387	"You think itâs a game? Unintelligible? Ha! Envision no spoons.  This is serious. It is a matter of joy versus emptiness."	Kristen Henderson, Of My Maiden Smoking	\N	2019-01-02 05:12:46.361592
3371	"Although we amplify our cognitive degree of awareness and enhance our appreciation for life experiences by maturing, it also brings us death. Facing a certain death forces a person to examine the worthiness of continuing to live."	Kilroy J. Oldster	Dead Toad Scrolls	2019-01-02 05:12:42.12762
3372	"God! when you think of all the things you could do and yet somehow never do! All the opportunities you let slip by! The idea, the inspiration just doesn't come fast enough. Instead of being open, you're closed up tight. Thats's the worst sin of all - the sin of omission."	Simone de Beauvoir	The Mandarins	2019-01-02 05:12:42.395223
3373	"Don't create unbelief or doubt in people's minds. When you do so you ruin their lives and you have nothing to give them in its place. It's ok if people delude themselves; those delusions keep their day running."	Bangambiki Habyarimana	Pearls Of Eternity	2019-01-02 05:12:42.666499

3376	"Perhaps it was because a terrible anguish had developed within my soul, occasioned by a circumstance which loomed infinitely larger than my own self: to be precise, it was the dawning conviction that in the world at large,	Fyodor Dostoyevsky	A Gentle Creature and Other Stories	2019-01-02 05:12:43.447267

3380	"The greatest events of life often leave one unmoved; they pass out of consciousness, and, when one thinks of them, become unreal. Even the scarlet flowers of passion seem to grow out in the same meadow as the poppies of oblivion. We reject the burden of their memory, and have anodynes against them. But the little things, the things of no moment, remain with us."	Oscar Wilde	The Portrait of Mr. W. H.	2019-01-02 05:12:44.500919
3382	"My world today is raw, it is a world of great vital difficulty. Because, more than a star, today I want the thick and black root of the stars, I want the source that always seems dirty, and is dirty, and that is always incomprehensible.  It is with pain that I bid farewell even to the beauty of a child - I want the adult who is more primitive and ugly and drier and more difficult, and who became a child-seed that cannot be broken between the teeth."	Clarice Lispector	The Passion According to G.H.	2019-01-02 05:12:45.034596
3383	"I want the material of things. Humanity is drenched with humanization, as if that were necessary; and that false humanization trips up man and trips up his humanity. A thing exists that is fuller, deafer, deeper, less good, less bad, less pretty. Yet that thing too runs the risk, in our coarse hands, of becoming transformed into "purity", our hands that are coarse and full of words."	Clarice Lispector	The Passion According to G.H.	2019-01-02 05:12:45.299375

3394	"The memory of having sat at someoneâs feet will later make you want to trample him underfoot. Iâm trying to fend off your admiration for me, you see, in order to save myself from your future contempt. I prefer to put up with my present state of loneliness rather than suffer more loneliness later. We who are born into this age of freedom and independence and the self must undergo this loneliness. Itâs the price we pay for these times of ours."	Natsume SÅseki	Kokoro	2019-01-02 05:12:50.327533
3398	"Say not: I live today, I shall die tomorrow. Divide not reality between life and death. Say: now I live and die."	Marcel Schwob	\N	2019-01-02 05:12:51.536231
3399	"Donât worry if you donât accomplish everything in this life. Fortunately, death overcomes every thingâeven the very thing that tried to kill us."	Kamand Kojouri	\N	2019-01-02 05:12:51.792347
3400	"The existentialists' view of love is not romantic, because they do not believe in love as an abstract force or amorous sunset walks along the beach. However, Cox also said, "if your idea of romance is somewhat more gothic and stormy, full of heartache, yearning and the thwarted desire to possess breaking up, making up and breaking up again, tears before bedtime and tears in the rain, then maybe it is romantic"."	Skye Cleary	Existentialism and Romantic Love	2019-01-02 05:12:52.051291
3401	"People die all the time. Life is a lot more fragile than we think. So you should treat others in a way that leaves no regrets. Fairly, and if possible, sincerely. It's too easy not to make the effort, then weep and wring your hands after the person dies. Personally, I don't buy it." Yuki leaned against the car door. "But that's real hard, isn't it?" she said. "Real hard," I said. "But it's worth trying for."	Haruki Murakami	Dance Dance Dance	2019-01-02 05:12:52.327176

3407	"(About Sartre...) His death does not separate us. My death will not bring us together again. That is how things are. It is in itself splendid that we were able to live our lives in harmony for so long."	Simone de Beauvoir	\N	2019-01-02 05:12:53.902921
3408	"No more Guernicas, no more Auschwitzes, no more Hiroshimas, no more Setifs. Hooray! But what about the impossibility of living, what about this stifling mediocrity and this absence of passion? What about the jealous fury in which the rankling of never being ourselves drives us to imagine that other people are happy? What about this feeling of never really being inside your own skin?"	Raoul Vaneigem	The Revolution of Everyday Life	2019-01-02 05:12:54.166226
3409	"I know by my own experience how, from a stranger met by chance, there may come an irresistible appeal which overturns the habitual perspectives just as a gust of wind might tumble down the panels of a stage set - what had seemed near becomes infinitely remote and what had seemed distant seems to be close."	Gabriel Marcel	\N	2019-01-02 05:12:54.426386
3410	"There is no always," I say. "Nothing persists forever." "Nothingness persists," she says. She is testing me. "No. So long as anything exists, nothingness is impossible. In fact, it's nothingness that cannot persist. Nothingness gives way to somethingness. The nothingness that preceded the Big Bang was obliterated. Nothing became something."	Michael  Grant	Eve & Adam	2019-01-02 05:12:54.691274
3411	"Iâve done everything I wanted to do, writing books, learning about things, but Iâve been swindled all the same because itâs never anything more."	Simone de Beauvoir	\N	2019-01-02 05:12:54.962791
3415	"Life is short and evasive. This shortness and evasiveness of life is not predicated on numeric quantifiers, but embedded in the limitation on humans as mere mortals."	Prinx Maurice	\N	2019-01-02 05:12:56.073102
3417	"Whatever may be the position of science, whatever may be the position of philosophy, as long as there is such a thing as death in the world, as long as there is such a thing as weakness in the human heart, as long as the human heart sheds a drop of tear in weakness, there shall be a faith in God and divinity."	Abhijit Naskar	Biopsy of Religions: Neuroanalysis Towards Universal Tolerance	2019-01-02 05:12:56.592298
3419	"And think about the precise meaning of that term: a Narcissus is not proud. A proud man has disdain for other people, he undervalues them. The Narcissus overvalues them, because in every person's eyes he sees his own image, and wants to embellish it. So he takes nice care of all his mirrors."	Milan Kundera	The Festival of Insignificance	2019-01-02 05:12:59.386362
3420	"I can always choose, but I ought to know that if I do not choose, I am still choosing."	Jean-Paul Sartre	Existentialism and Human Emotions	2019-01-02 05:12:59.644467
3421	"That's the existential problem," Fat said, "based on the concept that We are what we do, rather than, We are what we think. It finds its first expression in Goethe's Faust, Part One, where Faust says, 'Im Anfang war das Wort'. He's quoting the opening of the Fourth Gospel; 'In the beginning was the Word.' Faust says, 'Nein. Im Anfang war die Tat.' In the beginning was the Deed. From this, all existentialism comes."	Philip K. Dick	VALIS	2019-01-02 05:13:00.049777

3423	"In the quantum multiverse, every choice, every decision you've ever and never made exists in an unimaginably vast ensemble of parallel universes."	Nick Payne	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:00.730053

3427	"Existentialism's first move is to make every man aware of what he is and to make the full responsibility of his existence rest on him."	Jean-Paul Sartre	Existentialism and Human Emotions	2019-01-02 05:13:01.788859

3429	"We get sombre about death. Think about Charon the ferryman rowing the souls across the Styx to the Isle of the Dead. Pretty grim stuff. Unless you think that, perhaps, at times, old Charon rows souls back to the land of the living too. Perhaps I have merely gone to rest awhileâ¦"	Sean J Halford	Stronger Than Lions	2019-01-02 05:13:02.304734
3430	"Life cannot find reasons to sustain it, cannot be a source of decent mutual regard, unless each of us resolves to breathe such qualities into it."	Frank Herbert	Heretics of Dune	2019-01-02 05:13:02.575106
3431	"Every novel says to the reader: âThings are not as simple as you think.â That is the novelâs eternal truth, but it grows steadily harder to hear amid the din of easy, quick answers that come faster than the question and block it off. In the spirit of our time, itâs either Anna or Karenin who is right, and the ancient wisdom of Cervantes, telling us about the difficulty of knowing and the elusiveness of truth, seems cumbersome and useless."	Milan Kundera	The Art of the Novel	2019-01-02 05:13:02.837034
3432	"Itâs tragic that most of us spend our private lives paradoxically thinking something is watching us and permanently disapproving. We say we believe in benevolent deities but smear them with hate and the power to smite. We see sin everywhere, when the only sin is when we forget to treat each other with respect. That is the sad secret that makes the Universe vulnerable."	Sean J Halford	Stronger Than Lions	2019-01-02 05:13:03.098067
3433	"Sometimes itâs like that in life too. We look into a past that no longer exists, looking as if itâs real. We hold onto things in our life that thereâs no reason to hold onto anymore because, unlike the stars, they donât bring us beauty, they bring us pain."	Charlene Carr	Skinny Me	2019-01-02 05:13:03.502787
3436	"In other words, where we are is vital to who we are."	Ãric Weiner	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:04.292771
3438	"Iâve whittled my fascination with the cosmos down to this mantra: we can imagine the Universe as a giant void racing away from us at a frightening speed, or it could occur to us that, in fact, it is wrapped around us in all directions. Then, no matter where we are, we are at the centre of something wonderful. And thatâs how Iâve always thought about it."	Sean J Halford	Stronger Than Lions	2019-01-02 05:13:04.806415
3439	"Tears are a wonderful thing; they wash, they warm, they are the rivers that run through our minds, seeking release. In their salinity they remind us that we came from the sea. Our cells know this, and go about their machinations, ceaselessly recreating the primordial brine. We are water, whether or not the Spirit of God once hovered formless and magnificent above the idea of us, in some ancient place before the Singularity uncoiled itself into space and time."	Sean J Halford	Stronger Than Lions	2019-01-02 05:13:05.078409
3440	"My mother once said if you canât handle the fact that your world-view might be entirely inaccurate, you are not worthy of believing in it."	Sean J Halford	Stronger Than Lions	2019-01-02 05:13:05.332464
3443	"Well, that's not true. I need to work for a living.â  âNo, that's not true. You think you need to work like this because that's what you've been told. That is merely an idea put into your head.

3445	"Then, when it didn't crash, when you succeeded in keeping it aloft with your own worthlessness, all you had to do was stagger off, locate your luggage, and, by the time a cab arrived, come up with a persuasive reason to go on living."	Lorrie Moore	Like Life	2019-01-02 05:13:06.653514
3446	"Do you believe we are masters of ourselves, or merely dance like puppets on strings having the illusion of independence?"	Winston Graham	Jeremy Poldark	2019-01-02 05:13:08.961842
3447	"She wants to have her notebooks so that the flimsy framework of events, as she has constructed them in her school notebook, will be provided with walls and become a house she can live in. Because if the tottering structure of her memories collapses like a clumsily pitched tent, all that Tamina will be left with is the present, that invisible point, that nothingness moving slowly toward death."

3458	"You didn't succeed. Well, what of that? There's nothing to prove, you know, and the revolution's not a question of virtue but of effectiveness. There is no heaven. There's work to be done, that's all. And you must do what you're cut out for; all the better if it comes easy to you. The best work is not the work that takes the most sacrifice. It's the work in which you can best succeed."	Jean-Paul Sartre	No Exit and Three Other Plays	2019-01-02 05:13:12.137218

3474	"People see the cleverness of nature and suppose it's the cleverness of the animal itself but it was obvious to me that each and every segment of the animal isn't aware. How much I'd hate to live totally unaware of myself, I thought. What would be the point of living, of existing, if you weren't ever to know about it? I looked at the Fox Moth and pitied it, poor unconscious creature. But then, I supposed, at least it wouldn't be disappointed. It would never find out."	Poppy Adams	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:16.309378
3476	"Anita felt like she finally understood why love was symbolized by the grotesque pumping organ, always threatening to clog, or break, or attack. Because the heart was the body's engine, and love was an act of the body. Your mind could tell you who to hate or respect or envy, but only your body--your nostrils and your mouth and the wide, blank canvas of your skin--could tell you who to love."	Tommy Wallach	We All Looked Up	2019-01-02 05:13:18.736215

3487	"Life is rather a short walk through eternity. Be they seeds, pups or infants, on the trek all pick up weight, sensitivity and awareness. Then, much before the end of the run, they deteriorate, head, legs and lungs. The tragicomedy of existence: the long walk of slow decay."	Dagobert D.

3493	"All I can tell you with certainty is that I, for one, have no self, and that I am unwilling or unable to perpetrate upon myself the joke of a self.... What I have instead is a variety of impersonations I can do, and not only of myself â a troupe of players that I have internalised, a permanent company of actors that I can call upon when a self is required.... I am a theater and nothing more than a theater."	Philip Roth	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:23.261889
3494	"The tree of possibilities: life as it reveals itself to a man arriving, astonished, at the threshold of his adult life: an abundant treetop canopy filled with bees singing. And he thinks he understands why she never showed him the letters: she wanted to hear the murmur of the tree by herself, without him, because he, Jean-Marc, represented the abolition of all possibilities, he was the reduction, (even though it was a happy reduction) of her life to a single possibility."	Milan Kundera	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:23.520692
3496	"We shall have thousands of Shatovs to deal with"	Dostoyevskyevsky	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:24.050684
3542	"Saving and pinching to get married, you're losing the best time of your life."	Muriel Spark	The Ballad of Peckham Rye	2019-01-02 05:13:40.646332
3543	"What is the point of our lives? There isn't any. I can't seem to decide how much horror and how much joy lies within that simple truth, but I know it is both of those things at once."	Ashly Lorenzana	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:41.113552
3500	"Pure logic is the impossibility by means of which science is maintained."	Friedrich Nietzsche	Unpublished Writings from the Period of Unfashionable Observations	2019-01-02 05:13:25.117954
3502	"The awkwardness of getting reward in a well-off society is that the creation of appetite often requires undoing the work of satisfying appetite."	George Ainslie	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:25.6571
3503	"This existenitalist stuff sure is crap"	Daniel Younger	Delirious	2019-01-02 05:13:25.923928
3504	"Without your stories, without your heroes and their awesome powers, how could you explain this, this here, this incomprehensible real that ever refuses to embrace any rule, any clichÃ© besides the intransigent, pathetic truth that we all end, that no one comes back."	Tom King	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:26.182366
3508	"I was dead for a billion of years and in a few years I will be dead again. I'm not conscious of that state of lifelessness which was before I came to life. And I'm not sure about the lifelessness that is yet to come. Life is only a station between these two states. It is a chance to experience and to do something, the only chance known with certainty. The major issue is to find what is worth living for, but an even greater issue is to find what is worth dying for. We all die anyway."	Huseyn Raza	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:29.408338
3510	"We are children of chaos, and the deep structure of change is decay. At root, there is only corruption, and the unstemmable tide of chaos. Gone is purpose; all that is left is direction. This is the bleakness we have to accept as we peer deeply and dispassionately into the heart of the Universe."	Peter Atkins	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:29.937272
3544	"The combination of our mortality with our groundlessness imparts to human life its pressing and enigmatic character. We struggle to in our brief time in the midst of an impenetrable darkness. A small area is lighted up: our civilizations, our sciences, our loves. We prove unable to define the place of the lighted area within a larger space devoid of light, and must go to our deaths unenlightened."	Roberto Mangabeira Unger	The Religion of the Future	2019-01-02 05:13:41.370484
3545	"A kind of joy came upon him, as if borne in on a summer breeze. He dimly recalled that he had been thinking of failure-as if it mattered. It seemed to him now that such thoughts were mean, unworthy of what his life had been."	John  Williams	Stoner	2019-01-02 05:13:41.642179
3513	"Someone's got to do some more research, but I would really like to know: when a CBT therapist really gets distressed, who does he go see?"	Irvin D. Yalom	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:30.7083
3514	"I relish my life. Itâs the one I have. Itâs difficult, beautiful, painful, full of laughter, passing strange. Whatever else it is, whatever it brings â itâs mine."	Marya Hornbacher	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:30.962665
3516	"God desires that man should be. God does not wish to be alone. The meaning of existence is the conquest of loneliness, the acquisition of kinship and nearness."	Nikolai A. Berdyaev	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:31.48301
3518	"This is the world, he thought. And I am in it."	Nick Harkaway	Tigerman	2019-01-02 05:13:32.00861

3521	"I really should have died then, Tsukuru often told himself. Then this world, the one in the here and now, wouldn't exist. It was a captivating, bewitching thought. The present world wouldn't exist, and reality would no longer be real. As far as this world was concerned, he would simply no longer existâjust as this world would no longer exist for him."	haruki murakami	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:32.805234
3526	"If the existentialists are right, that life is meaningless, and if we acknowledge that, we are better equipped to find pleasure in small things."	Chloe Thurlow	A Girl's Adventure	2019-01-02 05:13:34.133302
3528	"I say, we live on, though I am wrong, this is what I say. In the past, present, future, we live on as if in one time. You can never stop the past from happening, and it has happened , and will continue to happen.  This is the truth, I think I know, along with  the two other things I do know. I exist. I want to kiss you.   And also this: each day, as we go, we will always be as young as we can be."	Derek Keck	The Kitchen Sinks of Yesterday Morning: The Urinal Cakes of Tomorrow	2019-01-02 05:13:34.658954
3529	"If we tried to rely entirely on reason and pressed it hard, our lives and beliefs would collapse â a form of madness that may actually occur if the inertial force of taking the world and life for granted is somehow lost. If we lose our grip on that, reason will not give it back to us."	Thomas Nagel	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:34.915986
3531	"Is the ash in trees, babies, flowers, and visions of God better than the visions themselves? Then you think, none of this is tangible or concrete. So you have another cigarette and think about the (not one) but many ghosts you keep tucked away, under sheets, under beds, in notes, within other ghosts."	Derek Keck	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:35.437656
3532	"Heâs a typical existentialist. And thatâs a contradiction in terms if ever there was one."	Johnny Rich	The Human Script	2019-01-02 05:13:35.70518
3533	"Since we are nothing but packages of tepid, half-rotted viscera, we shall always have trouble with sentiment. Being in love is nothing, itâs sticking together thatâs difficult. Faeces on the other hand make no attempt to endure or to grow. On this score we are far more unfortunate than shit: our frenzy to persist in our present state â thatâs the unconscionable torture."	Louis Ferdinand CÃ©line	Voyage au bout de la nuit	2019-01-02 05:13:35.960701
3534	"There is no reality except in action. Man is nothing else than his plan; he exists only to the extent that he fulfills himself; he is therefore nothing else than the ensemble of his acts, nothing else than his life."	Jean-Paul Sartre	Existentialism Is a Humanism	2019-01-02 05:13:38.28514
3536	"I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain! One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy"	Albert Camus	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:38.943311
3537	"I've lived the life of a man without teeth, he thought about it. A life of a man without teeth. I've never bitten, I've been waiting, keeping myself for later - and now I've just ascertained that I don't have teeth anymore."	Jean-Paul Sartre	The Age of Reason	2019-01-02 05:13:39.206493
3538	"Information paints no picture, sings no song, and writes no poem."	R.F. Georgy	Notes from the Cafe	2019-01-02 05:13:39.465048
3540	"[W]hat we also see in sex is a kind of submissiveness. But not a kind of submissiveness which is simply 'do what you like, I'm just here for you', but it...is, or can be, very manipulative. It is a way of getting the other person to exercise all his or her efforts towards pleasing you, and in that way controlling what they're thinking, and in particular what they're thinking of you."	Robert C. Solomon	No Excuses: Existentialism And The Meaning Of Life	2019-01-02 05:13:40.120552
3547	"We have an infinite supply of information and yet we cannot read."	R.F. Georgy	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:42.167582
3551	"Live with the consequences of your deeds and enjoy the warmth they create. The only warmth in the cold, indifferent universe is that which we create ourselves. And that is what a work of art is, it is what a constructed life is, a fulfilled life, the warmth of acts."	Peter Watson	The Age of Atheists: How We Have Sought to Live Since the Death of God	2019-01-02 05:13:43.245818
3553	"So we must run back and forth between these two suns in our firmamentâthe presentiment of death and awareness of lifeâand avoid being transfixed by either of them. If we are lucky in this uncertain middle distance, we may form attachments and projects that enhance the sentiment of life. However, even as we try our luck, death comes to us, and brings our experiment to a end."	Roberto Mangabeira Unger	The Religion of the Future	2019-01-02 05:13:43.784731
3554	"Insofar we are death-bound, existence is urgent and frightful. Insofar as are groundless, it is vertiginous and dreamlike. Insofar as we are insatiable, it is unquiet and tormented."	Roberto Mangabeira Unger	The Religion of the Future	2019-01-02 05:13:44.041233
3556	"The embodied self is the same person who woke to the world in a burst of visonary immediacy, who soon found that he was not the center of that world but on the contrary, a dependent and even hapless creature, and who then discovered that he was doomed to die"	Roberto Mangabeira Unger	The Religion of the Future	2019-01-02 05:13:44.575488
3558	"Modern Existentialism... is a total European creation, perhaps the last philosophic legacy of Europe to America or whatever other civilization is now on its way to supplant Europe."	William Barrett	Irrational Man: A Study in Existential Philosophy	2019-01-02 05:13:45.104389
3560	"A sense of his own identity came upon him with sudden force, and he felt the power of it. He was himself, and he knew what he had been."	John Williams	\N	2019-01-02 05:13:45.621901
