hi guys, it's my first time posting. 2 years ago i told my girlfriend about a quote on impossible love, i think the gist of it was (it might even have contained these exact words) "perfect in every other language"
now i need it again because we've both been wrecking our brains to remember it, any help will be appreciated. will definitely write it down this time

here are 2 quotes from chapter 9 of my favourite novel- wuthering heights

"...(H)e's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same; and Linton's is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire."

"If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger: I should not seem a part of it."


once again, thank you so much!

The Moonstone, Wilkie Collins

Here follows the substance of what I said, written out entirely for your benefit. Pay attention to it, or you will be all abroad, when we get deeper into the story. Clear your mind of the children, or the dinner, or the new bonnet, or what not. Try if you can't forget politics, horses, prices in the City, and grievances at the club. I hope you won't take this freedom on my part amiss; it's only a way I have of appealing to the gentle reader. Lord! haven't I seen you with the greatest authors in your hands, and don't I know how ready your attention is to wander when it's a book that asks for it, instead of a person?

**


Here was a golden opportunity! I seized it on the spot. In other words, I instantly opened my bag, and took out the top publication. It proved to be an early edition--only the twenty-fifth--of the famous anonymous work (believed to be by precious Miss Bellows), entitled The Serpent at Home. The design of the book--with which the worldly reader may not be acquainted--is to show how the Evil One lies in wait for us in all the most apparently innocent actions of our daily lives. The chapters best adapted to female perusal are "Satan in the Hair Brush;" "Satan behind the Looking Glass;" "Satan under the Tea Table;" "Satan out of the Window"--and many others.

"Give your attention, dear aunt, to this precious book--and you will give me all I ask." With those words, I handed it to her open, at a marked passage--one continuous burst of burning eloquence! Subject: Satan among the Sofa Cushions.

When the pursuit of our own interests causes us to become objects of inquiry to ourselves, we are naturally suspicious of what we don't know.

A Christmas Carol

  • Dec. 20th, 2009 at 3:58 PM
   Scrooge asked the question, because he didn't know whether a ghost so transparent might find himself in a condition to take a chair; and felt that in the event of its being impossible, it might involve the necessity of an embarrassing explanation. But the ghost sat down on the opposite side of the fireplace, as if he were quite used to it. 

   'You don't believe in me,' observed the Ghost. 

   'I don't,' said Scrooge. 

   'What evidence would you have of my reality beyond that of your senses?' 

   'I don't know,' said Scrooge. 

   'Why do you doubt your senses?' 

   'Because,' said Scrooge, 'a little thing affects them. A slight disorder of the stomach makes them cheats. You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!'

Benedick: This can be no trick. The
conference was sadly borne. They have the truth of
this from Hero. They seem to pity the lady.
It seems her affections have their full bent. Love me?
Why, it must be requited. I hear how I am censured.
They say I will bear myself proudly if I perceive
the love come from her; they say too that she will
rather die than give any sign of affection. I did
never think to marry. I must not seem proud; happy
are they that hear their detractions and can put
them to mending. They say the lady is fair; 'tis a
truth, I can bear them witness; and virtuous; 'tis
so, I cannot reprove it; and wise but for loving
me; by my troth, it is no addition to her wit,
nor no great argument of her folly, for I will be
horribly in love with her. I may chance have some
odd quirks and remnants of wit broken on me,
because I have railed so long against marriage. But
doth not the appetite alter? A man loves the meat
in his youth that he can not endure in his age.
Shall quips and sentences and these paper bullets of
the brain awe a man from the career of his humor?
No, the world must be peopled. When I said I would
die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I
were married. Here comes Beatrice. By this day,
she's a fair lady! I do spy some marks of love in
her.

-William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing, 2.3.217-241

Heartbreak & JSF

  • Dec. 20th, 2009 at 12:26 AM
Well, I'm experienced heartbreak, and usually Elliot Perlman's Three Dollars is what I run to for comfort and realization

But this time, I find myself reading Jonathan Safran Foer's Everything Is Illuminated, I thought I'd share some lines that are popping out to me.
I'm sorry if some of these might have been posted before!

-When she woke up crying from one of her nightmares, the Kolker would stay with her, brush her hair with his hands, collect her tears in thimbles for her to drink the next morning "(The only way to overcome sadness is to consume it, he said),

-"They made love through the hole. The three lovers pressed against one another, but never fully touched. The Kolker kissed the wall, and Brod kissed the wall, but the selfish wall never kissed either back. The Kolker pressed his palms against the wall, and Brod, who turned her back to the wall to accommodate love, pressed the back of her thighs against the wall, but the wall remained indifferent, never acknowledging what they were trying so hard to do."(186)

-"She always saw through him, as if he were just another window. She always felt that she knew everything about him that could be known - not that he was simple, but that he was knowable, like a list of errands, like an encyclopedia."(169)

-"From space, astronauts can see people making love as a tiny speck of light. Not light, exactly, but a glow that could be mistaken for light-a coital radiance that takes generations to pour like honey through the darkness to the astronaut's eyes."(151)

-He awoke each morning with the desire to do right, to be a good and meaningful person, to be, as simple as it sounded and as impossible as it actually was, happy. And during the course of each day his heart would descend from his chest into his stomach. By early afternoon he was overcome by the feeling that nothing was right, or nothing was right for him, and by the desire to be alone. By evening he was fulfilled: alone in the magnitude of his grief, alone in his aimless guilt, alone even in his loneliness. I am not sad, he would repeat to himself over and over, I am not sad. As if he might one day convince himself. Or fool himself. Or convince others--the only thing worse than being sad is for others to know that you are sad. I am not sad. I am not sad. Because his life had unlimited potential for happiness, insofar as it was an empty white room. He would fall asleep with his heart at the foot of his bed, like some domesticated animal that was no part of him at all. And each morning he would wake with it again in the cupboard of his rib cage, having become a little heavier, a little weaker, but still pumping. And by midafternoon he was again overcome with the desire to be somewhere else, someone else, someone else somewhere else. I am not sad.

A collection of wicked quotes. :)

  • Dec. 19th, 2009 at 9:41 PM
All the following quotes were said by different people, obviously, but all collected and spread out throughout the book A Shite History of Nearly Everything by A.Parody. :)

"When you throw dirt, you lose ground." ~Texan proverb.

"Natives who beat drums to drive off evil spirits are objects of scorn to smart Americans who blow horns to break up traffic jams." ~Marry Ellen Kelly.

"What do I think of Western civilization? I think that it would be a good idea." ~Mohandas K. Gandhi. `

"Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock." ~Sigmund Freud.

"The only thing that stops God from sending another flood is that the first one was useless." ~ Nicolas de Chamfort.

"Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, the amateurs built the Ark. Professionals built the Titanic." ~Anonymous.

"The monarchy is so extraordinary useful. When Britain wins a battle she shouts, 'God save the Queen'; when she loses, she votes down the Prime Minister." ~Winston Churchill.

"A cynic is a man who found out when he was about ten that there wasn't any Santa Claus, and he's still upset." ~James Gould Cozzens.

"I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made sound never equalled the purity of the sound achieved by the pig." ~Alfred Hitchcock.

"If thine enemy offend thee, give his child a drum." ~Anonymous.

"The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it." ~Karl Marx.

"If it moves, it's biology
It it stinks, it's chemistry
It it doesn't work, it's physics
If it doesn't apply, it's economics
If it keeps up, man will atrophy all his limbs but the push-button finger.
" ~Frank Lloyd Wright.

"If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German and Germany will declare that I am a Jew." ~Albert Einstein.

Franny & Zooey

  • Dec. 19th, 2009 at 5:16 PM
A few favorite quotes from the beautiful book, Franny and Zooey. (All of them are from Zooey)


"My God, there's absolutely nothing tenth-rate about, and yet you're up to your neck at this minute in tenth-rate thinking. Not only is the way you're going at your prayer tenth-rate religion but, whether you know it or not, you're having a tenth-rate nervous breakdown."

"In my opinion, if you really want to know, half the nastiness in the world is stirred up by people who aren't using their true egos."


"An artist's only concern is to shoot for some kind of perfection, and on his own terms, not anyone else's. You have no right to think about those things, I swear to you. Not in any real sense, anyway."


Just an Ad

I'm just posting to advertise my item on eBay. I'm selling my Beatles CD Collection on my mom's account, since I'll be getting the stereo remasters for Christmas. (I literally bought almost every album right before hearing about the remasters - I was so pissed.)
Starting bid is $45 - buy it now, 65. And in all honesty, they're in friggin' sweet condition.
So if there's any new fans out there, or simply anyone who's searching for a good deal on some used-but-like-new Beatles CDs, here's a link to the item.
It includes everything from Please Please Me to Past Masters Volume 2, except for Yellow Submarine. I have the newer YS Songtrack, but that's obviously not coming with the remasters so I'm keeping that.

A cute pic to be legal. )

"When I pictured myself, it was always like just an outline in a colouring book, with the inside not yet compleated. All the standard features were there. But the colours, the zigzags and plaids, the bits and pieces that made up me, Halley, weren't yet in place. Scarlett's vibrant reds and golds helped some, but I was still waiting."

"It was like on of those tests where they ask what doesn't belong in this group: an apple, a banana, a pear, a tractor. There wasn't anything she could do about it it. My mother, for all her efforts, was the tractor."

"There are some things in this world you rely on, like a sure bet. And when they let you down, shifting from w
here you've carefully placed them, it shakes your faith, right where you stand."

"You can't plan a moment when things get back on track, just as you can't plan the moment you loose your way in the first place"

Another Beatles cookie post...

  • Dec. 19th, 2009 at 11:53 AM
Every Christmastime my family has a tradition where my cousin, brother, mom, grandma, and me all get together and bake holiday cookies. We've been doing it since we were really small kids, so it's a huge part of what makes the holidays what they are in my family. (My lands, that was cheesy.) Well, since my cousin, brother, and self have all been older, we've been setting aside a portion of dough to make what we call "specials," which is basically being creative and making anything we want, Christmas-related or not. I usually make Beatles cookies, but this year I've decided to do something a little different. Instead of the Beatles themselves, I thought I would try Beatles songs.

The singer's gonna sing a song, and he wants you all to sing along. )
