"So it goes." - Slaughterhouse 5, Kurt Vonnegut
We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep ...
-- from The Tempest (Act IV, Scene 1)
by William Shakespeare
'Do you know what a ****ing loser you are?' He starts nodding helplessly and I pull out a long, think knife, with a serrated edge and, being very careful not to kill him, push maybe half an inch of the blade into his right eye, flicking the hand up, instantly popping the retina.
American Psycho, Bret Easton Ellis
We can never know what to want, because living only one life we can neither compare it with our previous lives, nor perfect it in our lives to come'

Parce que c'est toi, parce que c'est moi
We cannot predict consequences of great decisions.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Victor Hugo
At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.
To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.

You might not want to read this if you intend on reading it...I might spoil it.
"When people say that they do not remember what they do in a fit of fury, they talk nonsense. It is false. I remember everything."
and
"I well remember the horror of that concsiousness and I know vaguely that, having plunged in the dagger, I drew it out again immediately wishing to repair and arrest my action. She had straightened up and cried:
'Nurse, he has killed me!'"
"So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss, and my heart turns violently inside of my chest, I don't have time to maintain these regrets, when I think about, the way....He loves us..."

"Dear me, dear me," say I. "These are not the times to be writing books, Don Eligio, even fool books like mine. Of literature I must begin to say what I have said of everything else: 'Curses on Copernicus!'"
"Oh, wait now," exclaims Don Eligio, the blood rushing to his face as he straightens up from his cramped position. (It is hot at noon time, and he has put on a broad-brimmed straw, for a bit of artificial shade.)
"What has Copernicus got to do with it?"
"More than you realize, perhaps ... "

So you have notice it too? Very nice, Asa aka Orwell!
That's only one of many many great quotes I've found in Hunchback. I agree, it really is a masterpiece!
But I don't get it; why do they have to kill everybody??? This realism sometimes makes me really sad.

Even mothers who love you better than anyone ever will, don't always understand- The Railway Children
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
to the most beautiful woman i know,
now that i'm alone again, nopthing is as it once was.
the sky is grayer, the ocean is more forbidding.
will you make it right?
the only way is to see me again.
i miss you.'
