Unfortunately, trail blazes now disappear, and the path becomes steadily steeper and more stony until it levels out at the pass, which is a bleak and forbidding place. From here the route runs south-east and is easy enough to follow. It is a pleasant walk, particularly in autumn when the golden leaves cascade down and rustle beneath your feet.
Julian Perry
All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.
Aristotle
Divide the students into three groups. The first group will stand in a circle and raise their arms toward the sun chanting: "Produce, produce, produce." The second group will form a circle around them. They will move their arms in and out making grabbing and chewing motions and chanting "Consume! Consume! Consume!" The third group will surround the consumers in a circle and make tickling motions with their fingers while chanting in a high voice "Decompose,
decompose, decompose."
Katherine and Fred Buffett
If, as we have seen, the whole of man, the set of all men, is only defined by granting an exception to that set then, conversely, the fact that under the designation ‘woman’ there is no exception to the phallus – ‘there is no speaking that says “no” to the phallic function’ – means that woman is not a totality or a whole: she is, in other words, not-all.
Slavoj Žižek
Nor count me all to blame if I
Conjecture of a stiller guest,
Perchance, perchance, among the rest,
And, though in silence, wishing joy.
A.S. Byatt

On the hill’s shoulder,
Here were fond climates and sweet singers suddenly
Come in the morning where I wandered and listened.

Up the woodlands shady:
Love me gaily, fast and true

Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde
The orange is a moment. Not forgetting the orange is one thing. Recalling the orange is another thing. Rejoining it is another. At least three times are needed in order to begin to understand the infinite immensity of the moment. I have been living around an orange for three days.
Hélène Cixous

Albert Schweitzer
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead,
Wiggle - you can raise the dead.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle in your boots and shoes,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, you got nothing to lose,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, like a swarm of bees,
Wiggle on your hands and knees.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a gypsy queen,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle all dressed in green,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle 'til the moon is blue,
Wiggle 'til the moon sees you.
Robert Zimmerman
Who can say of a particular sea that it is old? Distilled by the sun, kneaded by the moon, it is renewed in a year, in a day, or in an hour.
Thomas Hardy
If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.
George Bernard Shaw
Behold, thou art fair, my love;
behold, thou art fair;
thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks:
thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn,
which came up from the washing;
whereof every one bear twins,
and none is barren among them.
Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet,
and thy speech is comely:
thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.
Song of Solomon

All men live enveloped in whale-lines. All are born with halters round their necks; but it is only when caught in the swift, sudden turn of death, that mortals realize the silent, subtle, ever present perils of life.
Ishmael
This luscious and impeccable fruit of life falls, it appears, of its own weight to earth.
Wallace Stevens
I prefer to urinate outdoors than in these modern contraptions, which are disgusting. Here, a narrow golden stream will now miraculously unite me with earth, grass and soil.
Mother of heaven, regina of the clouds,
O sceptre of the sun, crown of the moon,
There is not nothing, no, no, never nothing,
Like the clashed edge of two words that kill.
Wallace Stevens
So don't fear if you hear
A foreign sound to your ear
It's alright, Ma, I'm only sighing.

For each mountain
I've managed to conquer
this bird of prey . . .
how easily it follows
never having to climb
an’ya
Still not sure
what choices to make
I attend a workshop
on how to pick
the winning rose
Angela Leuck
Bring me into the wine house; set love before me. Strengthen me with perfumes, stay me with apples: for I am wounded with love.

I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
J Alfred Prufrock

Galician proverb
I più beddi peri i màngnani i porchi.
Corsican proverb
To all of my friends… I dedicate the three gifts: slowness, which is the essence of tenderness; a cup of passion fruits whose flesh presents in its heart filaments comparable to the styles that poetry bears; and the word spelaïon, as it is in itself a gourd full of voices, an enchanted ear, the instrument of a continuous music, an open, bottomless species of orange.
Hélène Cixous
People who drink beer and smoke pipes in the evening are incapable of understanding philosophy.
Havelock Ellis on Nietzsche
In all directions stretched the great Australian emptiness, in which the mind is the least of possessions…where food means steak and cake, muscles prevail and the march of material ugliness does not raise a quiver from the average nerves. It was the exaltation of the average that made me panic.

Clan – Kipamwi
The members of this clan are great hunters and live largely by the chase. But they may not eat the flesh of the duiker or of the rhinoceros. None of them may plant millet or settle in Lumbwa, or have any intercourse whatever with the smiths. They may not even build their huts near those of the smiths, nor buy their weapons directly from them, nor allow their goats to meet the goats of the smiths on the road.
Totemism and Exogamy – J.G. Frazer
From now on, I'm not doing anything I don't want to do. The world owes me happiness, fulfillment, and success. I'm just here to cash in.
Calvin, Calvin and Hobbes, ‘Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat’
You simply can't trust the British... settle into your seat on a 749 flying out of Heathrow next to an ostensibly boring old Englishman with wobbly chins, the acquired stammer, obviously something in the City, intent on his Times crossword puzzle, and don't you dare patronize him. Mr. Milquetoast, actually a judo black belt, was probably parachuted into the Dordogne in 1943, blew up a train or two, and survived the Gestapo cells by concentrating on what would become the definitive translation of Gilgamesh from the Sin-Leqi-Inninni; and now--his garment bag stuffed with his wife's most alluring cocktail dresses and lingerie--he is no doubt bound for the annual convention of cross-dressers in Saskatoon.
Mordecai Richler
Wine has at its disposal apparently plastic powers: it can serve as an alibi to dream as well as reality.
Roland Barthes
I don't want to spread the peanut butter of my personality on the moldy bread of the commercial press.
Marlon Brando
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
W.B. Yeats
He was a Roman Catholic, The Times of London noted in its obituary. The Times said that when Mr. Ullmann arrived at Cambridge, he had to converse in Latin because he could not speak English. Besides producing 400 books, articles and reviews, many of them translated into foreign languages, The Times said that “throughout his life he remained interested in the working of motor cars” and “greatly enjoyed driving fast”.
The New York Times, 22nd January 1983
Once the realisation is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue to exist, an wonderful living side by side can grow up, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole and against a wide sky.
Rainer Maria Rilke
For centuries now, women have performed the whole of love; they have always played the full dialogue, both parts. For the man has only imitated them, and badly. And has made their learning difficult with his inattentiveness, with his negligence, with his jealousy...
Rainer Maria Rilke
Bring me a bowl of coffee before I turn into a goat
Johann Sebastian Bach
Our bodies love metaphors because they join our bodies to our soul rather than abandoning them to a soulless state.
Robert Bly
Anyone close to a woman is, in fact, in the presence of two women; an outer being and an interior criatura, one who lives in the topside world, one who lives in the world not so easily seeable.
Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Look out for hairy caterpillars. Be careful to brush them off in the direction they are travelling or small irritant hairs may stay in your skin and cause an itchy rash, which may fester in the heat.
The SAS Survival Handbook
Nothing adds a touch of class to a film like a musical montage spliced with scenes of a woman dancing. It’s a lot like playing Freebird at a funeral or wearing some socks with those really nice leather sandals you found in a bathroom stall Wal-Mart. In fact, if the woman were dancing on a cliff with a snake while the moon shined down on a wolf howling at a camp of crying Indians, this very well may have been the classiest scene in any movie ever.
From a review of Hard Rock Zombies
If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.

When you talk of the Little Shyning Man its jus the middl word of what hes callt there aint no real meaning to it. Suddn when I seen the shyning of them broakin machines I begun to get some idear of the shyning of the Littl Man. Tears begun streaming down my face and my froat akit.
Riddley Walker
Whenever a thing is done for the first time, it releases a little demon.
