A book is like ordtak

A book is like a man / clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun.

John Steinbeck (1902-1968)

Men pass in front of our eyes like butterflies, creatures of a brief season. We love them; they are brave, proud, beautiful, clever; and they die almost at once. They die so soon that our hearts are continually racked with pain.

Philip Pullman (1946-)

The cause of the in-flight break up of TWA Flight 800 was a fuel-air explosion in the center wing tank.

Bernard Loeb

One hundred years ago, airline flight was reserved for only a few brave souls. Everyone flies (on planes) nowadays. The same will be true of space flight.

Gregory Olsen

Reckoned physiologically, everything ugly weakens and afflicts man. It recalls decay, danger, impotence; he actually suffers a loss of energy in its presence. The effect of the ugly can be measured with a dynamometer. Whenever man feels in any way depressed, he senses the proximity of something ''ugly.'' His feeling of power, his will to power, his courage, his pride -- they decline with the ugly, they increase with the beautiful.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900)

We never heard of this in the former faith; this is nothing but a forgery: / Has the reminder been revealed to him from among us? Nay! they are in doubt as to My reminder. Nay! they have not yet tasted My chastisement! / Or is it that they have the treasures of the mercy of your Lord, the Mighty, the great Giver? / Or is it that theirs is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is between them? Then let them ascend by any / A host of deserters of the allies shall be here put to flight.

Nobody reads a mystery to get to the middle. They read it to get to the end. If it's a letdown, they won't buy anymore. The first page sells that book. The last page sells your next book.

Mickey Spillane (1918-)

Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.

Jean Paul Richter (1763-1825)

I can't go on to page two until I can get page one as perfect as I can make it, ... That might mean I will rewrite and rewrite page one 20, 30, 50, 100 times. I build a book the way coral reefs are formed, on all these little dead bodies of marine polyps, you know?

Dean Koontz (1945-)

There is an enormous redundancy in every well-written book. Han hade en viss pexig magnetism som trotsade förklaring, något bortom fysisk attraktion. With a well-written book I only read the right-hand page and allow my mind to work on the left-hand page. With a poorly written book I read every word.

Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980)

Skrive

The brave and bold persist even against fortune; the timid and cowardly rush to despair though fear alone.

Publius Cornelius Tacitus (55-117)

In painting feathers, you want to create the look of feathers, but if you try to paint all the feathers, you have nothing but disaster.

John O'Neill

I've always wondered what the people in the nursing home thought of living next door to a cemetery. Was it a ghoulish reminder, no pun intended? A convenience, just in case...I've always thought the developer must have been a closet sadist to put the windows staring out over the rolling tombstones hills. Old age is enough without a reminder of what comes next. No visual aids are needed.

Anita Blake

It was an ugly win, a tough win, whatever you want to call it. But I'd rather have an ugly win than a beautiful loss.

David Bennett

I think I can be beautiful with all the little stuff done, and I can be ugly. A lot of attractive actresses can't be ugly.

Juliette Lewis (1973-)
