Quote by M.C. Scott

“He is telling us who will defect from Vitellius. He wrote this in April. Vespasian wasn’t hailed imperator until the first of July.’ That date had been engraved on my liver since I first heard it. You will find it at my death, if you care to cut me open and look. -- Lady Caenis”

“Behind my words are my hopes And behind my hopes is an angel singing my death and yours I said to her "It's the ending of a cycle and the ending of me in your life" She is now awake to the sound of nature and the angel's voice We are soaring in the approaching stars I am dreaming and cannot comprehend it I have seen the stars Dear stars: the awakening and the loss, we are born and fall Dear stars, you too are above and lost and hanging like a booklet unread yet open for us all Behind my eyes is a secret I vouched to never share it I see the selfsame eyes of my mother and my grand mother And the eyes of my great grandmother, whom I never knew but felt And so this line unto the Alef and the omega point at infinity With my eye still I see the light, the crow that sees everything and smiles And knows everything and smile We comprehend a moment through him and smile I see all around my skin and beyond I have sung one thousand songs on the electric body I have invented my self I have killed my self I am just a form of English words written by an Algerian spirit”

“Bebe el que está en ayunas para fortalecerse; bebe el que ha ganado en sus ventas, de alegría; el que ha perdido, para consuelo; el que alcanzo el sí de la dulcinea, para celebrarlo; el de los nones, para olvidar; el despechado, por despecho; el vicioso, por el vicio; el minero, porque vendió bien el oro; éste, porque le birlaron en el empleo; el otro, porque lo birló; beben unos, porque hace frío; otros, porque llueve; y porque hace calor y para sanar del dolor de la barriga. Bebe el que tiene que irse, porque se va; el que tiene que quedarse, porque se queda; éste, por acompañar a aquel; aquel, por acompañar a este; beben los amigos que se encuentran y los que se despiden; los que tienen disgustos domésticos y los que tienen ofensas que vengar; bebe el viejo octogenario y el mozo apenas salido de la infancia; bebe el que está triste y el que está alegre (tomado de El palacio de la felicidad)”

“There is no god, and that's the simple truth. If every trace of any single religion were wiped out and nothing were passed on, it would never be created exactly that way again. There might be some other nonsense in its place, but not that exact nonsense. If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true and someone would find a way to figure it all out again.”
