I didn't even notice that my shoes were full of mud by the time I reached the rocky shore. There was ragged yellow police tape tied to some branches, dancing in the wind. It was as if the tape was waving, welcoming me back to place where I would have...
I can remember when delusions of grandeur entailed wanting to be a rock star, movie star, a millionaire; to make it as a writer— now it seems that it’s to want to earn a decent living
And somewhere out there, in the river of addicts, alcoholics, wife beaters, doormats, overeducated legalized thieves, fascist police, and bitter rivalries— someone told me it’s a good city, and I don’t know what’s more frightening
Zapitala se je li uistinu moguće izgubiti sve koje voliš unutar tjedan dana.Zapitala se može li čovjek preživjeti takvo što ili ne.A ipak u onim kratkim trenucima gore na krovu s Jaceom bila je zaboravila na majku.Bila je zaboravila na Simona.I...
I'm not a Saban guy, because I don't like liars, and I think he lied. I think he lied to the Miami Dolphins and to the fans of Miami, and he left. And it's pretty simple: I think integrity is very important; if you don't have integrity, I don't know ...
Jiu Jitsu gives me an ideal to strive toward. Technical mastery lies on an infinite continuum and completion of this skill is impossible. Every time I train I have something that I can improve upon, and this will hold true for each and every training...
Maurice: Secrets and lies! We're all in pain! Why can't we share our pain? I've spent my entire life trying to make people happy, and the three people I love the most in the world hate each other's guts, and I'm in the middle! I can't take it anymore...
Li Mu Bai: You did your job well. The sword is back. But... This girl. I saw her last night. Yu Shu Lien: I knew you'd be suspicious. Li Mu Bai: She needs controlling. She needs real direction and training.
Chow Mo-wan: I have a chapter to finish. Su Li-zhen Chan: Where have you got to? Chow Mo-wan: The drunken master just showed up. Su Li-zhen Chan: When did he get written in? Chow Mo-wan: Just now!
Sometimes beauty lies in the attempt.
Tell me your friends, and I'll tell you who you are.
If you tell people to live together, you tell them to quarrel.
Tell me whom you love and I'll tell you who you are.
Tell me the company you keep, and I'll tell you what you are.
Tell me who you live with, and I will tell you who you are.
To tell a woman what she cannot do is to tell her what she can.
If a dream can tell the future it can also thwart that future. For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come. He is bound to no one that the world unfold just so upon its course and those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come t...
You're an intensely attractive woman. You do know that, don't you?" To her silence, he replied, "You'd believe me if you could see yourself." "I seen myself. That's the snag, you see." He shook his head. "No, no. Not in a mirror. I know how mirrors w...
Cinema is a mixed form. L'Avventura has characters, it has social context, and these things are not trivial. Its plot is the disappearance of a disappearance. Possibly the most frightening plot imaginable. Forgetting the dead, whom all of history tel...
As I get older I see that running has changed for me. What used to be about burning calories is now more about burning up what is false. Lies I used to tell myself about who I was and what I could do, friendships that cannot withstand hills or mil...
I would lie of course. I lied a lot and with good reason: to protect the truth—safeguard it like wearing fake gems to keep the real ones from getting stolen or cheapened by overuse. I guarded what truths I possessed because information was not a th...
