Usually I am on a work for a long stretch, until a moment arrives when the air of the arbitrary vanishes, and the paint falls into positions that feel destined Picture Quote #1

Every time you lose an animal, it’s like losing a brick from the house. Pretty soon the house just falls down, you know? Picture Quote #1

Physical pain however great ends in itself and falls away like dry husks from the mind, whilst moral discords and nervous horrors sear the soul Picture Quote #1

Long after the bomb falls and you and your good deeds are gone, cockroaches will still be here, prowling the streets like armored cars Picture Quote #1

There’s got to be structure and great comedy. When you start with that, everything else falls into place Picture Quote #1

The price of every thing rises and falls from time to time and place to place; and with every such change the purchasing power of money changes so far as that thing goes Picture Quote #1

France is a place where the money falls apart in your hands but you can’t tear the toilet paper Picture Quote #1

Almost every girl falls in love with the wrong man, I suppose it’s part of growing up Picture Quote #1

I describe my plots as follows; A character is walking down the street when all of a sudden a piano falls on them. They spend the rest of the story digging out from under that piano. How they dig, how long and how well, this all depends entirely on the character Picture Quote #1

Despite all our toil and progress, the art of medicine still falls somewhere between trout casting and spook writing Picture Quote #1

Laws are like spiders webs which, if anything small falls into them they ensnare it, but large things break through and escape Picture Quote #1

Without general elections, without unrestricted freedom of press and assembly, without a free struggle of opinion, life dies out in every public institution, becomes a mere semblance of life, in which only the bureaucracy remains as the active element. Public life gradually falls asleep, a few dozen party leaders of inexhaustible energy and boundless experience direct and rule. Such conditions must inevitably cause a brutalization of public life: attempted assassinations, shootings of hostages, etc Picture Quote #1

If one is willing to do a thing he is afraid to do, he does not have to... face a situation fearlessly, and if there is no situation to face; it falls away of its own weight Picture Quote #1

Every dog is allowed one bite, but a different view is taken of a dog that goes on biting all the time. He may not get his licence returned when it falls due Picture Quote #1

He who imitates what is evil always goes beyond the example that is set; on the contrary, he who imitates what is good always falls short Picture Quote #1

I want to be an independent woman who falls in love, finds a great partner for her lifetime, has kids and kind of does it all. I’d like to have it all Picture Quote #1

Narcissism falls along the axis of what psychologists call personality disorders, one of a group that includes antisocial, dependent, histrionic, avoidant and borderline personalities. But by most measures, narcissism is one of the worst, if only because the narcissists themselves are so clueless Picture Quote #1

This is the pain pacemaker. I’ve got a battery under my skin. From that battery are two electrodes that go into the spine where they cut bone away to accommodate it. Now I put on the power here. If I have the pain, the stimulator starts. It’s tingling, like when your foot falls asleep, you know? Picture Quote #1

The key is just to ignore the pain, because physical comedy only works if you see someone get hurt and they aren’t actually hurt. If someone gets hit in the face with a bat, falls down, and gets back up, it’s funny. If they stay down and their jaw is wired shut in the next scene, it’s really tragic and weird. You have to pretend it doesn’t hurt Picture Quote #1

In books, day breaks, and night falls. In life, night rises from the ground. The day hangs on for as long as it can, bright and eager, absolutely and positively the last guest to leave the party, while the ground darkens, oozing night around your ankles, swallowing for ever that dropped contact lens, making you miss that low catch in the gully on the last ball of the last over Picture Quote #1

If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody is around to hear it, and it hits a mime, does anyone care? Picture Quote #1

Adam strokes my head, my face, he kisses my tears. We are blessed. Let them all go. The sound of a bird flying low across the garden. Then nothing. Nothing. A cloud passes. Nothing again. Light falls through the window, falls onto me, into me. Moments. All gathering towards this one Picture Quote #1

There is not much talking now. A silence falls upon them all. This is no time to talk of hedges and fields, or the beauties of any country. Sadness and fear and hate, how they well up in the heart and mind, whenever one opens pages of these messengers of doom. Cry for the broken tribe, for the law and the custom that is gone. Aye, and cry aloud for the man who is dead, for the woman and children bereaved. Cry, the beloved country, these things are not yet at an end. The sun pours down on the earth, on the lovely land that man cannot enjoy. He knows only the fear of his heart Picture Quote #1

My heart stopped. It just stopped beating. And for the first time in my life, I had that feeling. You know, like the world is moving all around you, all beneath you, all inside you, and you’re floating. Floating in midair. And the only thing keeping you from drifting away is the other person’s eyes. They’re connected to yours by some invisible physical force, and they hold you fast while the rest of the world swirls and twirls and falls completely away Picture Quote #1

I like the rain before it falls. of course there is no such thing, she said. That’s why it’s my favorite. Something can still make you happy, can’t it, even if it isn’t real Picture Quote #1

Emotional discomfort, when accepted, rises, crests and falls in a series of waves. Each wave washes a part of us away and deposits treasures we never imagined. Out goes naivete, in comes wisdom; out goes anger, in comes discernment; out goes despair, in comes kindness. No one would call it easy, but the rhythm of emotional pain that we learn to tolerate is natural, constructive and expansive... The pain leaves you healthier than it found you Picture Quote #1

If a tree falls in the forest and it hits a mime, would he make a noise? Picture Quote #1

Every poem I write falls short in some important way. But I go on trying to write the one that won’t Picture Quote #1
