Text Quotes
The world to me was a secret, which I desired to discover; to her it was a vacancy, which she sought to people with imaginations of her own  (Aca Quotes) I remember when each 4th lot was vacant and overgrown, and the landlord only go this rent when you had it, and each day was clear and good and each moment was full of promise  (Aca Quotes) The academic world was marching toward ever more specialized knowledge, expressed in ever more dense jargon  (Aca Quotes) Temptation said that we all dream of committing crimes, but that only the unbalanced make that macabre idea a reality  (Aca Quotes) No one stands on the top of the world. Not you, not me, not even gods. But the unbearable vacancy of the throne in the sky is over. From now on... I will be sitting on it  (Aca Quotes) What have we to offer the world beside the superabundant loot which we recklessly plunder from the earth under the maniacal delusion that this insane activity represents progress and enlightenment?  (Aca Quotes) A society that thinks the choice between ways of living is just a choice between equally eligible ‘lifestyles’ turns universities into academic cafeterias offering junk food for the mind  (Aca Quotes) And as I grew older, I then auditioned for the Royal Academy of Music in London, and they said, well, no, we won’t accept you, because we haven’t a clue - you know - of the future of a so-called ‘deaf’ musician. And I just couldn’t quite accept that  (Aca Quotes) Babies don’t need a vacation, but I still see them at the beach... it pisses me off! I’ll go over to a little baby and say ‘What are you doing here? You haven’t worked a day in your life!’  (Aca Quotes) All modern philosophizing is political, policed by governments, churches, academics, custom, fashion, and human cowardice, all off which limit it to a fake learnedness  (Aca Quotes) Madness alone is truly terrifying, inasmuch as you cannot placate it by threats, persuasion, or bribes  (Aca Quotes) She had always maintained a cynical facade, using it as a defence against embarrassment, fear, loneliness… but at the moment she felt unusually vulnerable  (Aca Quotes) ... he thought of dying as a kind of adventure, something new that he hadn’t yet experienced. Like an unusual vacation trip  (Aca Quotes) Most areas of intellectual life have discovered the virtues of speculation, and have embraced them wildly. In academia, speculation is usually dignified as theory  (Aca Quotes) I have been uncompromising, peppery, intractable, monomaniacal, tactless, volatile, and oftentimes disagreeable... I suppose I’m larger than life  (Aca Quotes) We live in a vale of tears... We can have all the dreams we like, but life is hard, implacable, sad  (Aca Quotes) I felt lethal, on the verge of frenzy. My nightly bloodlust overflowed into my days and I had to leave the city. My mask of sanity was a victim of impending slippage. This was the bone season for me and I needed a vacation  (Aca Quotes) There’s nothing like the discovery of an unknown work by a great thinker to set the intellectual community atwitter and cause academics to dart about like those things one sees when looking at a drop of water under a microscope  (Aca Quotes) We see a hearse; we think sorrow. We see a grave; we think despair. We hear of a death; we think of a loss. Not so in heaven. When heaven sees a breathless body, it sees the vacated cocoon and the liberated butterfly  (Aca Quotes) Authority, when first detecting chaos at its heels, will entertain the vilest schemes to save its orderly facade  (Aca Quotes) At the last, this is what will determine a fulfilling, meaningful life, a life that, behind all the facades, every one of us longs to live: gratitude for the blessings that expresses itself by becoming the blessing  (Aca Quotes) That’s the one trouble with this country: everything, weather, all, hangs on too long. Like our rivers, our land: opaque, slow, violent; shaping and creating the life of man in its implacable and brooding image  (Aca Quotes) That’s why people take vacations. No to relax or find excitement or see new places. To escape the death that exists in routine things  (Aca Quotes) That I was not suited to commerce or academic study in no way proves that I should also be unfit to be a painter  (Aca Quotes) Everything outside was elegant and savage and fleshy. Everything inside was slow and cool and vacant. It seemed a shame to stay inside  (Aca Quotes) You either trust me or you don’t. I’ve never let you down, and I won’t walk away unless you make me. Period. Now, unless you have a real emergency, I’d like to get back to my vacation. And my corpse, thanks  (Aca Quotes) When did creating a flawless facade become a more vital goal than learning to love the person who lives inside your skin?  (Aca Quotes) The imagination of the genius vastly surpasses his intellect; the intellect of the academic vastly surpasses his imagination  (Aca Quotes) Oh yes. You’ve caught me. I confess. My sole purpose in life is to gleefully, willfully, maniacally destroy all of your precious chrome babies  (Aca Quotes) Men’s greatest weakness is their facade of strength, and women’s greatest strength is their facade of weakness  (Aca Quotes)
