"Have been unavoidably detained by the world. Expect us when you see us."
"And thou wert lovely to the last, Extinguish'd, not decay'd; As stars that shoot along the sky Shine brightest as they fall from high." ~Lord Byron
"A myth is, of course, not a fairy story. It is the presentation of facts belonging to one category in the idioms appropriate to another. To explode a myth is accordingly not to deny the facts but to re-allocate them."
~ Gilbert Ryle, The Concept of Mind (1949)
"If you would be a real seeker after truth, you must at least once in your life doubt, as far as possible, all things."
~René Descartes
"Truth certainly would do well enough, if she were once left to shift for herself. She seldom has received and, I fear, never will receive much assistance from the power of great men, to whom she is but rarely known and more rarely welcome. She is not taught by laws, nor has she any need of force to procure her entrance into the minds of men. Errors, indeed, prevail by the assistance of foreign and borrowed succours. But if Truth makes not her way into the understanding by her own light, she will be but the weaker for any borrowed force violence can add to her."
~John Locke
"From meetings and partings none can ever escape. Nor from magic." ~Neil Gaiman
"Art finds her own perfection within, and not outside of herself. She is not to be judged by any external standard of resemblance. She is a veil, rather than a mirror." ~Oscar Wilde
"The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil." ~Hannah Adrent
"But to see her was to love her; Love but her, and love for ever. Had we never lov'd sae kindly, Had we never lov'd sae blindly, Never met—or never parted, We had ne'er been broken-hearted." ~Robert Burns
"First rule of magic: Don't let anyone know your real name. Names have power." ~Neil Gaiman
"Now I shall go to sleep. Goodnight."
This is a very public Lj! Feel free to add me! If you want me to add you back I recommend commenting (and not just in this post)!
