Friendship was another illusion like love, though it did not reach the same mad heights. People pretended that they were friends, when the fact was they were brought together by force of circumstances.
No one ever accepts criticism so cheerfully. Neither the man who utters it nor the man who invites it really means it.
All the jarring, rattling and clanking, spurting and hissing of the moving train of the train dissolved in the distance into something that was half a sob and half a sigh.
Certain things acquired an evil complexion if phrased, but remained harmless in the mind.
How can two living entities possessing intelligence and judgement ever be tied together for a lifetime?
Do you realize how few ever really understand how fortunate they are in their circumstances?
The sun set beyond thesea, so says the poet – and when a poet mentions a sea, we have to accept it; no harm in letting a poet describe his vision, no need to question his geography.
It seems to me that we generally do not have a correct measure of our own wisdom.
Past is gone, present is going, and tomorrow is day after tomorrow’s yesterday. So why worry about anything? God is in all this.
The sun set beyond the sea, so says the poet—and when a poet mentions a sea, we have to accept it. No harm in letting a poet describe his vision, no need to question his geography.

Life is a sexually transmitted disease and the mortality rate is one hundred percent.
Madness need not be all breakdown. It may also be break-through. It is potential liberation and renewal as well as enslavement and existential death.
Whether life is worth living depends on whether there is love in life.
There is a great deal of pain in life and perhaps the only pain that can be avoided is the pain that comes from trying to avoid pain.
Schizophrenia cannot be understood without understanding despair.
We are effectively destroying ourselves by violence masquerading as love.
Pain in this life is not avoidable, but the pain we create avoiding pain is avoidable.
We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing.
We are all murderers and prostitutes – no matter to what culture, society, class, nation one belongs, no matter how normal, moral, or mature, one takes oneself to be.
Human beings seem to have an almost unlimited capacity to deceive themselves, and to deceive themselves into taking their own lies for truth.

Nothing could be more irrational than the idea that something comes from nothing.
As the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, so the denial of God is the height of foolishness.
Most Christians salute the sovereignty of God but believe in the sovereignty of man.
Every sin is an act of cosmic treason, a futile attempt to dethrone God in His sovereign authority.
If there is one single molecule in this universe running around loose, totally free of God’s sovereignty, then we have no guarantee that a single promise of God will ever be fulfilled.
To say that God’s sovereignty is limited by man’s freedom is to make man sovereign.
I do not want to drive across a bridge designed by an engineer who believed the numbers in structural stress models are relative truths.
Our lives say much more about how we think than our books do. The theories we preach are not always the ones we actually believe. The theories we live are the ones we really believe.
It has been said that nothing dispels a lie faster than the truth; nothing exposes the counterfeit faster than the genuine.
The most brazen lie of all is the lie people tell themselves: “I have nothing to worry about from the wrath of God. My God is a God of love.” If that is your thought, your god is an idol.

It is better, I think, to grab at the stars than to sit flustered because you know you cannot reach them.
No, I would not want to live in a world without dragons, as I would not want to live in a world without magic, for that is a world without mystery, and that is a world without faith.
How many people long for that “past, simpler, and better world,” I wonder, without ever recognizing the truth that perhaps it was they who were simpler and better, and not the world about them?
Joy multiplies when it is shared among friends, but grief diminishes with every division. That is life.
Farewell is said by the living, in life, every day. It is said with love and friendship, with the affirmation that the memories are lasting if the flesh is not.
We need to be reminded sometimes that a sunrise last but a few minutes. But its beauty can burn in our hearts eternally.
I don’t have to prove my worth and value to any but those I love, and that I do by being who I am, with confidence that those I love appreciate the good and accept the bad. Does anything else really matter?
Because in fantasy perhaps more than in any other genre, the character is rewarded for making the right choices and punished for making the bad. Ask Boromir.
Because everything of value that we will know in this life comes from our relationships with those around us. Because there is nothing material that measures against the intangibles of love and friendship.
There is a wide world out there, full of pain, but filled with joy as well. The former keeps you on the path of growth and the latter makes the journey tolerable.

Thank God for tea! What would the world do without tea! How did it exist? I am glad I was not born before tea.
Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.
Madam, I have been looking for a person who disliked gravy all my life; let us swear eternal friendship.
The fact is that in order to do anything in this world worth doing, we must not stand shivering on the bank thinking of the cold and the danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can.
When you rise in the morning, form a resolution to make the day a happy one for a fellow creature.
A man who wishes to make his way in life could do no better than go through the world with a boiling tea-kettle in his hand.
If I were to begin life again, I would devote it to music. It is the only cheap and unpunished rapture upon earth.
Have the courage to be ignorant of a great number of things, in order to avoid the calamity of being ignorant of everything.
Mankind are always happy for having happiness. So if you make them happy now, you make them happy twenty years from now by the memory of it.
Many in this world run after felicity like an absent man hunting for his hat, while all the time it is on his head or in his hand.

What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again.
I can feel Peeta press his forehead into my temple and he asks, ‘So now that you’ve got me, what are you going to do with me?’ I turn into him. ‘Put you somewhere you can’t get hurt.
And then he gives me a smile that just seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushes through me.
You’re a painter. You’re a baker. You like to sleep with the windows open. You never take sugar in your tea. And you always double-knot your shoelaces.

Sometimes when I’m alone, I take the pearl from where it lives in my pocket and try to remember the boy with the bread, the strong arms that warded off nightmares on the train, the kisses in the arena.
Are you, are you coming to the tree? Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me. Strange things did happen here. No stranger would let it be if we met up At midnight in the hanging tree.
At some point, you have to stop running and turn around and face whoever wants you dead.The hard thing is finding the courage to do it.
We had to save you because you’re the mockingjay, Katniss,” says Plutarch. “While you live, the revolution lives.
Technically, I am unarmed. But no one should ever underestimate the harm that fingernails can do. Especially if the target is unprepared.

Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager.
To paraphrase several sages: Nobody can think and hit someone at the same time.
The only interesting answers are those which destroy the questions.
Time exists in order that everything doesn’t happen all at once…and space exists so that it doesn’t all happen to you.
It hurts to love. It’s like giving yourself to be flayed and knowing that at any moment the other person may just walk off with your skin.
My emotional life: dialectic between craving for privacy and need to submerge myself in a passionate relationship to another.
The likelihood that your acts of resistance cannot stop the injustice does not exempt you from acting in what you sincerely and reflectively hold to be the best interests of your community.
A good book is an education of the heart. It enlarges your sense of human possibility what human nature is of what happens in the world. It’s a creator of inwardness.
I don’t care about someone being intelligent; any situation between people, when they are really human with each other, produces ‘intelligence.
To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s mortality, vulnerability, mutability. precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.

#Susan_Sontag #quotes #FM #onlineradio #radio #liveonlineradio #live #worldradio
I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as happy as anybody on earth. The sense of independence and security is very sweet.
Woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself.
I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.
Forget conventionalisms; forget what the world thinks of you stepping out of your place; think your best thoughts, speak your best words, work your best works, looking to your own conscience for approval.
I was born a heretic. I always distrusted people who know so much about what God wants them to do to their fellows.
I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.
There shall never be another season of silence until women have the same rights men have on this green earth.
I pray every single moment of my life; not on my knees but with my work. My prayer is to lift women to equality with men. Work and worship are one with me.
Woman must have a purse of her own, and how can this be so long as the law denies to the wife all right to both the individual and the joint earnings?
Wherever, on the face of the globe or on the page of history, you show me a disfranchised class, I will show you a degraded class of labor.

Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.
Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.
Treat your men as you would your own beloved sons. And they will follow you into the deepest valley.
When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.
One mark of a great soldier is that he fight on his own terms or fights not at all.
If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by.
What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease.
He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.

I’d had my time in the charts and made loads of money. I was no longer hungry for success.
