If a wizard should take up residence in your garden and requests food, you are obliged to feed him.

You look within and upon and around me, savoring every inch. You pull my ear for no reason, and I can tell you really don__ want to cry. As a tear falls between by breasts, I look away and pretend the grass is a jungle, and the ants, little kings of forgotten tribes.

That's sounds right. Another $5,000 went to dress up the Little League park where he had played so many games. Seems like he paid off the MORTAGE on his parents' home, which wasn't that much.

Fiction is overrated, Fly. We__e discussed this. In the time it takes those novelist fuckers to contemplate a few poetic passages, a thousand kids die from malnutrition. Immediacy, man, that__ what counts.

I read not for entertainment but to feel what the writer has felt while writing even though if it was fiction.

There are some things in this world that can be done over, and some that can't. And time passing is one thing that can't be redone. Come this tar, and you can't come back.

But Pierre had been born with a shrewdness that made him early aware that a failure to believe that human events were ordered by a higher power was regarded by many in the highest positions as obnoxious and even sinful, and as nothing was to be gained by exciting such hostility, it was better to give a silent or even smiling assent to the fatuous idealism to which, particularly in youth, one was so relentlessly exposed.

It was as if - this something I thought of only later, of course - she was gently peeling back one layer after another that covered a person's heart, a very sensual feeling.

Family is a permanent adhesive that creates a lifetime bond.

To write you dreams of fantasy, is to create fantasy in another's dreams.

Life is always going to be stranger than fiction, because fiction has to be convincing, and life doesn't.

Good writing should help us see the world in new ways, it should crack open our generosity towards each other. That's what I hope my work does anyway. I want someone to read it and know that they aren't alone in the universe. I want my words to act as connective tissue.

According to Mark, it was a custom of the Roman governor during the feast of Passover to release one prisoner to the Jews, anyone for whom they asked. When Pilate asks the crowd which prisoner they would like to have released__esus, the preacher and traitor to Rome, or bar Abbas, the insurrectionist and murderer__he crowd demands the release of the insurrectionist and the crucifixion of the preacher. "Why?" Pilate asks, pained at the thought of having to put an innocent Jewish peasant to death. __hat evil has he done?_ But the crowd shouts all the louder for Jesus__ death. "Crucify him! Crucify him!" (Mark 15:1_20). The scene is absolutely nonsensical. Never mind that outside the gospels there exists not a shred of historical evidence for any such Passover custom on the part of any Roman governor. What is truly beyond belief is the portrayal of Pontius Pilate__ man renowned for his loathing of the Jews, his total disregard for Jewish rituals and customs, and his penchant for absentmindedly signing so many execution orders that a formal complaint was lodged against him in Rome__pending even a moment of his time pondering the fate of yet another Jewish rabble-rouser.
