ruby_lou_presley@yahoo.co.uk Bio'Lou's hand crept into mine. We were alone with nature. A new feeling had been born into us. The sense of personality had somehow faded out. I drew her gently into my arms; and we exchanged a long kiss such as we had never done before. We were not kissing each other. We were parts of the picture, whose natural expression it was to kiss.. .'
(a.Crowley)
"Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next." (c.sLewis)
"Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days… What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it.” (Goethe)
'Life breaks free. Life expands to new territories. Painfully, perhaps even dangerously. . . but life finds a way' (Jurassic Park)
'It is serious, evocative and surprising, unique in obsessive images of encroachment. It is also unusual for its virtually plotless story, told in scenes of happenstance and coincidence [...]
All these works present the images of the ordinary world through shifting mirrors and distorting lenses, without attempting to explain [..]
Much is left undefined. We learn almost nothing about the driver, and we don't know in which country the scene is set or even the time of year [..] We never find out.
Because of the way Kavan describes her nameless characters, and because she is so apparently intent on physical and emotional uncertainty, the reader is frequently left stranded, if only momentarily. Her prose is beautifully measured, sometimes fey, sometimes muscular [...]
Dreams and memories [.] obtrude into the main story, without warning, without explanation [.](Christopher Priest)
"Desparingly she looked all round. She was completeley encircled by the tremendous ice walls, which were made fluid by explosions of blinding light, so that they moved and changed with a continuous liquid motion, advancing in torrents of ice, avalanches as big as oceans, flooding everywhere over the doomed world [...] As her fate, she accepted the world of ice, shining, shimmering, dead; she resigned herself to the triumph of glaciers and the death of her world" (Ice, a.Kavan)
"when life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end..."(stephanie meyer)
'What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning
The end is where we start from.' (T.S Eliot)
'modern reality is a reality of decreation in which our revelations are not the revelations of belief, but the precious portents of our own powers' (Wallace Stevens)
'We create our own realities through reformulation of what is to hand... the plasticity of our imaginations.' (Patricia Waugh)
'alors Beba ne sait pas que je te desire' (B.easton.Ellis)
'you can't rape the willing' (j.McInerney)
"That was a strange one outside hers when she caught me looking up at the stars. I gave that quote from a Nick Cave song and I thought she called me a cunt. I didn’t realise that she was referring to Kant the philosopher. I even called Renton up about it. He reckons that Cave lifted that line verbatim from a Kant book. What the fuck is the world coming to when your favourite lyricists let you down with such shoddy plagiarism?" (i.Welsh Porno)
'the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who when in times of moral crises remain neutral' (Dante)
'some say the world will end in fire,
some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire.
But if I had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
to say that for destruction ice
Is also great
and would suffice' (r.Frost Fire and Ice)
“Sometimes skulls are thick.
Sometimes hearts are vacant.
Sometimes words don't work.” (James Frey)
'never put a sock in a toaster.' (Eddie Izzard)
'Shes the grace of this world
Shes too pure
For the likes of this world
This world is a whore.. .
All the lillies bloomed and blossomed
Wilted and theyre shivering
I cant stop their withering,
Oh, this world is a war' ('petals' hole)
'Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts. The first part is called "The Pledge". The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn". The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn't clap yet. Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call (The Prestige)
