"Though the earth contains greater energy and mass than any single being, linked together, "people make the world go-round"."

"Why, because an author has more rights than ordinary people, as everybody knows. People will stand much more from him."

"When a man's girlfriend's parents ask him what it is that he does for a living: they're not really concerned about him, they're concerned about their daughter's tummy."

"The use of fashions in thought is to distract men from their real dangers. We direct the fashionable outcry of each generation against those vices of which it is in the least danger, and fix its approval on the virtue that is nearest the vice which we are trying to make endemic. The game is to have them all running around with fire extinguishers whenever there's a flood; and all crowding to that side of the boat which is already nearly gone under."

"I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of "Admin." The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid "dens of crime" that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business con."

I thought of that policeman, Eddie Hazelwurst, saying I'd lowered myself to be in this house of colored women, and for the very life of me I couldn't understand how it had turned out this way, how colored women had become the lowest ones on the totem pole. You only had to look at them to see how special they were, like hidden royalty among us. Eddie Hazelwurst. What a shitbucket."

"Electing a bigot enables further bigotry."

"Each drop that fell, had a story to tell.each smile that curved, said a million words.(Poem: Our Existence, Book: Ginger and Honey)"

"In the world we live, we don't create or destroy - we just convert entities from one form to another. Loss and Sorrow too. If these are growing in your life - remember you are feeding them."

"Love makes you do, the best of things.Love makes you do, the worst of things, It's a feeling extreme, that doesn't exist in between."

"A flame that flickered, And a soul that whimpered, A candle that blazed, And a fragrance that raised. The flames were fed the same, But one remained diminished, While the other touched vintage!"

"He is deaf, and keen to accept, any economical operation, that will correct his situation.He visited the doctor best, and started talking on subject, like the after - effects, and if any threats.The doctor medically checked, and asked him what he expects?He expressed, he wants to be addressed - in words, and not in signs.And how keen he is, to have his ears listening.He wants to listen the echo of, sun - set over that crimson dawn.He is keen to know, the sound of, a blooming rose.He wants to know what it sounds like, when a seedling grows.But Doctor - if you say: You are incapable, then I better get away, for then there is - nothing worth to be heard, in your seemingly wordy world."

"The mirror it was and life it spelled, The road ahead, and the time past stepped, All gathered in one; one to all paired, My life is so different from all the world's threads.My breaths are mine, my woes are too, If my life were put through you, You sure would unlikely pursue, It should be left for me to gather, I am its sculptor, mine would be the hammer."
