For people like me, the face just says that we die alone. — Albert Camus

But about the drip drip of long-haul, no-end-in-sight solitude, they know nothing. They don't know what it is to construct an entire weekend around a visit to the laundrette. Or to sit in a darkened flat on Halloween night, because you can't bear to expose your bleak evening to a crowd of jeering trick-or-treaters. Or to have the librarian smile pityingly and say, 'Goodness, you're a quick reader!' when you bring back seven books, read from cover to cover, a week after taking them out. They don't know what it is to be so chronically untouched that the accidental brush of a bus conductor's hand on your shoulder sends a jolt of longing straight to your groin. — Zoe Heller

I always separate myself from reviews, but tweets and Instagram comments, they go directly to my phone. It's hard to keep up. — Skylar Astin

Finally, our new brain needs a purpose. A purpose is expressed as a series of goals. In the case of our biological brains, our goals are established by the pleasure and fear centers that we have inherited from the old brain. These primitive drives were initially set by biological evolution to foster the survival of species, but the neocortex has enabled us to sublimate them. Watson's goal was to respond to Jeopardy! queries. Another simply stated goal could be to pass the Turing test. To do so, a digital brain would need a human narrative of its own fictional story so that it can pretend to be a biological human. It would also have to dumb itself down considerably, for any system that displayed the knowledge of, say, Watson would be quickly unmasked as nonbiological. — Ray Kurzweil

Pete offered tobacco and paper, but Claude brought out his cigarettes and they both decided to try those. Pete provided the match. When he had their cigarettes burning strongly he turned to look back at the road, then straight up ahead. "We'll get there for supper if we get there," he said, and Claude laughed. Pete was a young man, but had a wild old grin stretched all out of shape in the corners and punched full of holes. — Douglas Woolf

There is nothing greater than love; it is stronger than any evil, any darkness.
Show me the way, Jesus!

I'm really lucky that I've had a little gang of people who I've been involved with for a long time ... I've been really lucky to have a gang of people who have always been there to encourage me to get on with it. Styles come and go, but I try not to take any notice of that. — Nick Lowe

The sin of bad theology has been precisely this - to set Christ up against man, and to regard all flesh and blood men as "not-Christ." Indeed to assume that many men, whole classes of men, nations, races, are in fact "anti-Christ." To divide men arbitrarily according to their conformity to our own limited disincarnate mental Christ, and to decide on this basis that most men are "anti-Christ" - this shows up our theology. At such a moment, we have to question not mankind, but our theology. A theology that ends in lovelessness cannot be Christian. — Thomas Merton

Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil. — Niccolo Machiavelli

It was the work of the quiet mountains, this torrent of purity at my feet. — Jack Kerouac
