Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.: Stephen King (1947 - ), Roland from "The Last Gunslinger"
Few things in life are more embarrassing than the necessity of having to inform an old friend that you have just got engaged to his fiancee.: W.C. Fields
Perhaps the reader may ask, of what consequence is it whether the author's exact language is preserved or not, provided we have his thought? The answer is, that inaccurate quotation is a sin against truth. It may appear in any particular instance to be a trifle, but perfection consists in small things, and perfection is no trifle.: Robert W. Shaunon
Because he did not have time to read every new book in his field, the great Polish anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski used a simple and efficient method of deciding which ones were worth his attention: Upon receiving a new book, he immediately checked the index to see if his name was cited, and how often. The more "Malinowski" the more compelling the book. No "Malinowski," and he doubted the subject of the book was anthropology at all.: Neil Postman
Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?: Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)
Every reader finds himself. The writer's work is merely a kind of optical instrument that makes it possible for the reader to discern what, without this book, he would perhaps never have seen in himself.: Marcel Proust (1871 - 1922)
If there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist it's another nonconformist who doesn't conform to the prevailing standard of nonconformity.: Bill Vaughan
There is as much difference between us and ourselves as there is between us and others.: Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592)
There are a billion people in China. It's not easy to be an individual in a crowd of more than a billion people. Think of it. More than a BILLION people. That means even if you're a one-in-a-million type of guy, there are still a thousand guys exactly like you.": A. Whitney Brown, "The Big Picture"
The idea of hunting and gathering as the best way for life has become quite popular recently, much more popular in some circles than the idea of simple farming as the best way of life. Many of the new primitives regard the beginnings of agriculture as one of humanity's major steps in the wrong direction. Most of the people who are drawn to such ideas do their actual hunting and gathering in grocery stores, but the *feeling* is there; it takes the form of a religion...expressed by particpating in American Indian rituals - or primitive-style rituals that are created anew.: Walter Truett Anderson - "Reality Isn't What it Used to Be"
