Henry has told no one, not even Rosalind, that there are moments, listening from the back of a West Indian bar, when the music thrills him, and in a state of exaltation he feels his pride in his son - inseparable from his pleasure in the music - as a constricting sensation in his chest, close to pain. It's difficult to breathe. At the heart of the blues is not melancholy, but a strange and worldly joy.
Ian McEwan, on love
Nineties nostalgia.
Keep loving, keep fighting.
But the point is, my dear fellow, that there may be cases when the government does not carry out the will of the citizens and then the public asserts its will.
Leo Tolstoy, on revolution
I assume that a salary is the price paid for a commodity, and it ought to conform with the law of supply and demand. If the salary is fixed without any regard for that law, as, for instance, when I see two engineers leaving college together, both equally well trained and efficient, and one getting forty thousand while the other is satisfied with two; or when I see lawyers and hussers, having no special qualifications, appointed directors of banking companies with immense salaries, I conclude that the salary is not fixed in accordance with the law of supply and demand, but simply through personal interest. And this is an abuse of great gravity in itself, and one that reacts injuriously on the government service.
Leo Tolstoy, on income inequality
If you look for perfection, you will never be satisfied.
Leo Tolstoy, "Anna Karenina"
He was happy; but on entering upon family life he saw at every step that it was utterly different from what he had imagined. At every step he experienced what a man would experience who, after admiring the smooth, happy course of a little boat on a lake, should get himself into that little boat. He saw that it was not all sitting still, floating smoothly; that one had to think too, not for an instant to forget where one was floating; and that there was water under one, and that one must row; and that his unaccustomed hands would be sore; and that it was only to look at it that was easy; but that doing it, though very delightful, was very difficult.
Leo Tolstoy, on marriage
What do they want to argue for? No one ever convinces anyone, you know.
Leo Tolstoy, "Anna Karenina"
In what way are schools going to help the people improve their material position? You say schools, education, will give them fresh wants. So much the worse, since they won't be capable of satisfying them.
-Leo Tolstoy, on education

Brooklyn Girls Fight Club--a documentary examining the lives of some of BK's toughest females, directed & produced by one of my closest friends.
The American novel is…a conquest of the frontier; as it describes our experience, it creates it.
Ralph Ellison, The Art of Fiction
Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.
-Buddha
Everything about this is terrifying.
The Thrilla in Manila, 1975
I'm sure when Scott Olsen joined the Marines, he never thought it would be the Oakland Police Department, not Iraqi insurgents, that would put him in the ICU.
Is this really the democracy we're advocating in Iraq, Egypt, Lybia and Afghanistan? I think we need to take a good, long look in the mirror.
