Tom Coffeen liked a quote

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

[Kung Fu Monkey -- Ephemera, blog post, March 19, 2009]”

Collected Poems by Robert Hayden
“We must not be frightened nor cajoled
into accepting evil as deliverance from evil.
We must go on struggling to be human,
though monsters of abstraction
police and threaten us.

Reclaim now, now renew the vision of
a human world where godliness
is possible and man
is neither gook nigger honkey wop nor kike

but man

permitted to be man.”
Robert Hayden

James Baldwin
“For, while the tale of how we suffer, and how we are delighted, and how we may triumph is never new, it always must be heard. There isn't any other tale to tell, it's the only light we've got in all this darkness.”
James Baldwin, Sonny's Blues

Heinrich Heine
“Ordinarily he was insane, but he had lucid moments when he was merely stupid.”
Heinrich Heine

Ring Lardner
“Shut up,' he explained.”
Ring Lardner

Donald Barthelme
“The aim of literature ... is the creation of a strange object covered with fur which breaks your heart.”
Donald Barthelme, Come Back, Dr. Caligari

Raymond Chandler
“He looked about as inconspicuous as a tarantula on a slice of angel food cake.”
Raymond Chandler

Not buying from Amazon is one of my new years resolutions. Probably nothing good will come from starting this. My GR account might even be shut down. ...more
