“I like owls. I admire their intransigent spirit. I have respected them deeply ever since I met a baby owl in a wood, when it fell over dead, apparently from sheer temper, because I dared to approach it. It defied me first, and then died. I have never forgotten the horror and shame I experienced when that soft fluffy thing (towards which I had nothing but the most humanitarian motives) fell dead from rage at my feet.” FirstsSpiritFeetBabyMetsHorrorApproachDiedShameForgottenWoodsHumanitarianRageAdmireMotiveTemperSheerOwlFluffy Author:Vita Sackville-West
“Take a shot in front of D.L. Probing for a vein in my dirty bare foot... Junkies have no shame... They are impervious to the repugnance of others. It is doubtful if shame can exist in the absence of sexual libido... The junky's shame disappears with his nonsexual sociability which is also dependent on libido.” IfsFeetFrontsShotsShameDisappearAbsenceDirtyDependentVeinsDoubtfulJunkieSociabilityImperviousProbingBare FeetLibido Book:Naked Lunch: The Restored Text Source: Naked Lunch: The Restored Text

“I love him. (Artemis) How can you say that? You don’t even understand what love means. Love isn’t being ashamed to be seen with the one you care about. It isn’t about punishment or hurt. Love is what gives you the strength you need to face anything no matter how brutal or frightening. It’s what allowed Ash to be beaten rather than tell his father about you. It’s what allowed him to be gutted on the floor at your feet rather than publicly shame you. And you spat on him for that love and tore him apart. For a goddess, you’re pathetic.

“The future was uncertain, absolutely, and there were many hurdles, twists, and turns to come, but as long as I kept moving forward, one foot in front of the other, the voices of fear and shame, the messages from those who wanted me to believe that I wasn't good enough, would be stilled.” BelieveLongEnoughWould BeWantedMovingTurnsVoiceFeetFrontsMessagesShameMoving ForwardGood EnoughUncertainTwistsHurdleTwists And Turns Book:The Pursuit of Happyness Source: The Pursuit of Happyness

“My closest friend, who died not long ago, is buried near Marx's grave in Highgate cemetery, so I see the gaggle of admirers laying roses at the foot of his tombstone regularly. I have never been tempted to leave flowers there myself. Great theories, shame about the practice. Marx did many things. But inventing class was not one of them.” LongClassPracticeFeetFlowerTheoryDiedShameRoseGravesBuriedClosestLong AgoTemptedInventingCemeteryTombstoneAdmirerHeadstoneClosest Friends Author:Alastair Campbell
