“I have been racking my brains and can find no reply [to] this very reasonable question. I can only suggest that the fictional part of me dried up.”
E. M. Forster
“In every minute of our lives, somewhere in this world, someone will die, but not from their fault, or not from their cause, not from a natural disaster and not from a natural cause. They will die because of a person who wants to take a life of another person for no apparent reason.”
Gideon O. Omoruyi
“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“"That is well said," replied Candide, "but we must cultivate our garden”
Voltaire
“It Couldn't Be DoneSomebody said that it couldn't be done,But he with a chuckle repliedThat "maybe it couldn't," but he would be oneWho wouldn't say so till he'd tried.So he buckled right in with the trace of a grinOn his face. If he worried he hid it.He started to sing as he tackled the thingThat couldn't be done, and he did it. Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;At least no one ever has done it";But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,Without any doubting or quiddit,He started to sing as he tackled the thingThat couldn't be done, and he did it. There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,There are thousands to prophesy failure;There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,The dangers that wait to assail you.But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,Just take off your coat and go to it;Just start to sing as you tackle the thingThat "cannot be done," and you'll do it.”
Edgar A. Guest
“`Then you should say what you mean,' the March Hare went on. `I do,' Alice hastily replied; `at least - at least I mean what I say - that's the same thing, you know.'”
Lewis Carroll
“O lady, why are you gazing downward? Has something of yours fallen on the ground? (She replies) O fool, can you not understand the pearl of my youth has slipped away?”
