“Cavall came simply, and gave him his heart and soul.”
“Cavalli is all about being a strong woman - being sexy and powerful. Which is how we'd like to feel, all of the time! The clothes are very strong and sexy - quite Amazonian. And you feel like that yourself when you're wearing the clothes.”
“Cavalo didn’t know if it was love. He didn’t know if he was even capable of such a thing anymore. But what he did know was that he had descended into the depths of hell for the man standing in front of him, and he would do it again. No hesitations. No questions asked.”

“Cavenaugh rubbed his hands together and smiled his sunny smile.
'I like that idea. It's reassuring. If we can have no secrets, it means we can't, after all, go so far afield as we might,' he hesitated, 'yes, as we might.'
Eastman looked at him sourly. 'Cavenaugh, when you've practiced law in New York for twelve years, you find that people can't go far in any direction, except-' He thrust his forefinger sharply at the floor.'Even in that direction, few people can do anything out of the ordinary. Our range is limited. Skip a few baths, and we become personally objectionable. The slightest carelessness can rot a man's integrity or give him ptomaine poisoning. We keep up only be incessant cleansing operations, of mind and body. What we call character, is held together by all sorts of tacks and strings and glue. ("Consequences")”

“Cavendish was a great Man with extraordinary singularities—His voice was squeaking his manner nervous He was afraid of strangers & seemed when embarrassed to articulate with difficulty—He wore the costume of our grandfathers. Was enormously rich but made no use of his wealth... Cavendish lived latterly the life of a solitary, came to the Club dinner & to the Royal Society: but received nobody at his home. He was acute sagacious & profound & I think the most accomplished British Philosopher of his time.”

“Caves are beautiful things you know. They're thermostatically controlled - warm when it's cold out and cool when it's warm. Very quiet. Nobody there. Especially in the winter - it was perfect. Also, because it's a cave, you can't do much with it.”
“Caves are cool in warm weather. Beware of bats, however. Bat urine will give you, as well as animals such as dogs, the rabies. Photograph supposedly shows an early man drawing on the walls of a cave. Such cave drawings are nearly all faked but are great tourist attractions. Cave drawings are invariably "discovered" in remote parts of a cave. If they were allegedly found in readily accessible areas of caves, they would be quickly declared to be fakes.”

“Caves of blue.
Strike the hue.
Westward, burning.
Pages turning.
Indiana.
Ripe banana.
Happiness approaches.
Serpents and roaches.
There once was a god named Apollo
Who plunged in a cave blue and hollow
Upon a three-seater
The bronze fire-eater
Was forced death and madness to swallow”

“caves so often symbolize rebirth. It's a hidden space, an expected, inscrutable space. Strange things live in there - eyeless salamanders, albino fish, a prophet's epiphanies.”

“Caviar. How very nice of them," Carol said, looking inside a sandwich. "Do you like caviar?" "No. I wish I did." "Why?" Therese watched Carol take a small bite of the sandwich from which she had removed the top slice of bread, a bit where the most caviar was. "Because people always like caviar so much when they do like it," Therese said. Carol smiled, and went on nibbling, slowly. "It's an acquired taste. Acquired tastes are always more pleasant--and hard to get rid of.”
“Caviar is to dining what a sable coat is to a girl in evening dress.”

“Caviar used to be my drug of choice, but since my husband is on a no-salt diet, I've kind of given it up. I still have dreams of sitting down and gorging, though. I love it with a good vodka; I don't like it with champagne.”

“Cayce hablaba de vidas en las cuales hay un cambio de orientación vocacional. Esto significa que en vidas anteriores habéis llevado a cabo tanto como habéis podido en relación a una vocación. La idea es que, en orden a que nuestras almas se vuelvan a fusionar otra vez con el gran espíritu hemos de probar un montón de cosas distintas.”

“Cayenne, marjoram, cinnamon."
The names of lost and fabulous cities through which storms of spice bloomed up and dusted away.
He tossed the cloves that had traveled from some dark continent where once they had spilled on milk marble, jack-stones for children with licorice hands.
And looking at one single label on a jar, he felt himself gone round the calendar to that private day this summer when he had looked at the circling world and found himself at its center.
The word on the jar was RELISH.
And he was glad he had decided to live.
RELISH! What a special name for the minced pickle sweetly crushed in its white-capped jar. The man who had named it, what a man he must have been. Roaring, stamping around, he must have tromped the joys of the world and jammed the in this jar and writ in a big hand, shouting, RELISH! For its very sound meant rolling in sweet fields with roistering chestnut mares, mouths bearded with grass, plunging your head fathoms deep in trough water so the sea poured cavernously through your head. RELISH!”

“Całe rozdziały i poszczególne akapity ułożyły się same, zajmując właściwe miejsca wzdłuż osi spójnej opowieści. Jak pachnące pąki na gałązce różanego krzewu, którym nikt nie musi tłumaczyć, gdzie dokładnie powinny rozkwitnąć.”

“Cały świat poszatkowany opłotkami i ograniczeniami szybkości, podzielony na strefy, obłożony podatkami i regulacjami prawnymi, a wszyscy zarejestrowani, pod kontrolą, znani z adresu i nagrań. I gdzie tu miejsce na przygodę, no chyba że taką, którą da się kupić? Na kolejce górskiej. W kinie. Przecież wiadomo, że dinozaury nie pożrą dzieci. Publiczność na pokazach próbnych wykluczyła możliwość wszelkich poważnych katastrof. A skoro szansa na realną katastrofę, realne ryzyko, nie istnieje, nie mamy też szansy na realne zbawianie. Realne porywy. Realne podniecenie. Na frajdę. Odkrycie. Innowację.
Prawo, dzięki któremu jesteśmy bezpieczni, to samo prawo skazuje nas na nudę.

“CBGB represents a lot to New York City and to underground rock and to new wave and post-punk and whatever. But, you know, it's like tearing down the Jefferson Memorial or something.”
“CBGB was a wild place, ... The first time I ever played there was in 1987, I think, with my hardcore band, Scream. And I remember the craziest [thing] about that club was you could be in
front of the stage and it could be louder than any show you've ever been to in your life. But if you were towards the back of the club at the bar, you could sit and have a conversation with
someone. It was the weirdest thing to me.”
“CBS announced they're canceling As The World Turns. Don't worry though, if you're addicted to the twisted plots, the intrigue, the illicit sex, you can still watch golf.”
“CBS is planning a tribute to Dan Rather... the memo went out a month ago but everyone assumed it was a fake.”
“CBS is proud to have been the home of David Letterman since 1993. He is truly one of the great talents of our time, and we hope things work out.”
“CBS is the largest out-of-home advertising company in the U.S.”
“CBS news anchor Dan Rather has interviewed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. When asked what it was like to talk to a crazy man, Saddam said, 'It's not so bad.'”
“CBS News finally received anthrax in the mail. As usual, we're number three.”
“CBS News on Tuesday had Bob Kerrey in a Vietnam scandal, Senator Bob Torricelli in a donor scandal and Arnold Schwarzenegger in a sex scandal. This confirms what we always knew. Bill Clinton does the work of three men.”
“CBS started to confiscate our packages and mail as a safety procedure. A lot of packages that people send for the holidays and to our kids we can't open. A lot of times they are from overseas. It's very upsetting at times.”
“CBS was very generous in their offer to re-sign me. But I simply want to try something new.”
“CBS's halftime show during the 2004 Super Bowl was a new low for television.”
“CBT is a much publicised and debated psychotherapeutic intervention for ME/CFS….The premise that cognitive therapy (eg. changing ‘illness beliefs’) and graded activity can ‘reverse’ or cure this illness is not supported by post-intervention outcome data. In routine medical practice, CBT has not yielded clinically significant outcomes for patients with ME/CFS.”
