Copy Quotes

Today, while trying to make some repetitive write ups interesting, I unearthed the following quotes.

“Few people can be happy unless they hate some other person, nation, or creed”
-Bertrand Russell

Love the fascist just like you love your neighbour. ;)


“The fact is, you have fallen lately, Cecily, into a bad habit of thinking for yourself. You should give it up. It is not quite womanly... men don't like it.”
-Oscar Wilde

Not man, convention is thy greatest enemy woman, convention.


"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much."
-Mother Teresa

The recession is hitting me hard :D


“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”
-Neil Gaiman

Brilliant! I don't agree with the last sentence though.

Tanik hamre bilogba par bhi padhare kabhi

A lot of Gaiman's quotes reflects in his graphic novels. His Sandman series, if I'm not wrong although in the same breath I suspect I am.

I suppose it's one of those things you say in a moment, which is the entire truth until the needle of time undoes the whole fabric and normalcy is restored.
