“A history of listening to Top 40 radio had left me with a ridiculous and clichéd notion of love. I had never entertained the feeling myself but knew that it meant never having to say you're sorry. It was a many-splendored thing. Love was a rose and a hammer. Both blind and all-seeing, it made the world go round.” WorldLoveMadeFeelingsLeftSeeingListeningBlindRoseNotionSorryRoundsRadioRidiculousHammers Author:David Sedaris
“Yes, you who must leave everything that you cannot control, It begins with your family, and soon it comes round to your soul. Well I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned: When you're not feeling holy your loneliness says that you've sinned.” ThinkingWellsI CanSoulFeelingsLonelinessHolyRoundsYour SoulOur Family Book:Leonard Cohen Anthology (Songbook) Source: Leonard Cohen Anthology (Songbook)
“My enduring feeling about René Lévesque is that if he had chosen to hang me, even as he tightened the rope round my neck, he would have complained about how humiliating it was for him to spring the trapdoor. And then, once I was swinging in the wind, he would blame my ghost for having obliged him to murder, thereby imposing a guilt trip on a sweet, self-effacing, downtrodden Francophone.” IfsSelfFeelingsSweetWindSpringMurderBlameGuiltEndureRoundsGhostChosenNecksRopeObligedImposingHumiliatingDowntroddenGuilt Trip Author:Mordecai Richler
