Quote Left Tre ringar för älvkonungarnas makt högt i det blå, sju för dvärgarnas furstar i salar av sten, nio för de dödliga, som köttets väg skall gå, en för mörkrets herre i ondskans dunkla sken i Mordorslandets hisnande gruva. En ring att sämja dem, en ring att främja dem, en ring att djupt i mörkrets vida riken tämja dem - i Mordors land, där skuggorna ruva. Quote Right
Quote Left Lay me down beneaf de willers in de grass, Whah de branch'll go a-singin' as it pass. Quote Right
Quote Left The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant. Quote Right
Quote Left Jag är bonddotter. Jag var van att kvinnorna födde tio-tolv barn och att hälften av dem dog. Folk dog, någon hamnade under traktorn, någon trillade i brunnen och någon fick lunginflammation. Med djuren var det så, att antingen skulle de jobba, eller så åt man upp dem. Och när de jobbat färdigt åt man upp dem i alla fall. Döden var inget konstigt där. Har man fått livet i gåva, så är priset att man måste lämna tillbaka det. Det var det väl ingen som inte visste? Quote Right
Quote Left Utdrag ur skadeanmälningar till Skandia: Då det ej fanns något tvistemål om vem som skulle köra, fortsatte undertecknade vilket även herr Rose'n gjorde med sammanstötning som följd. Jag har blifvit öfvererkörd af en atemobil med 90 kilm. i timmen och vill ha pengar för de. Utsikterna på vägen va godt och 8 meter bred. Jag föste mi ko öfver vägen och hålte på att springa tillbaka då biltermoristen var öfver mig. Ett revben vräkte han inåt och tri av tänderna låge kvar. Ä de fasoner de. Nä nä. Srif mej till och lemna 1,000 kr annars blir de laga sak åvet. Jag trodde rutan var nedfälld, men jag märkte när jag stack ut huvudet genom den att den var stängd. En fotgängare kolliderade med mej och for under min bil. Jag tutade, med bilhornet gick inte, för det var stulet. Olyckhändelsen orsakades av att vägen krökte. För att undvika kollisionen körde jag på den andra bilen. Jag kolliderade med en stillastående spårvagn som kom från motsatta hållet. Jag körde över en karl: han erkände att felet var hans, för han hade blivit överkörd förut. Kon gick emot bilen: efteråt fick jag veta att hon inte var riktigt klok! Motorcyklisten avled senare av skador som han tillfogades på Karlstads Lasarett. Jag föll i vägbanan. Min man fortsatte med sin moped och körde sedan i diket. Om jag fick hjälp eller om jag reste mig själv minns jag inte. Men när min man kom tillbaka och fick se att jag överlevt blev chocken för svår för honom så han föll ner avsvimmad. Jag stannade vid övergångstället då motparten körde mej i stjärten utan min tillåtelse. Vittnet kallade sig själv för gentleman, men jag tror det är riktigare att kalla honom för garageföreståndare. Det fanns en mängd åskådare men inga vittnen... Min fru har stortvätt på tisdagarna och när jag återvände hem på kvällen fick jag vindrutan och två tänder utslagna. Den andra vagnen kolliderade med min utan att giva någon som helst varning om sina avsikter. Min man mådde illa, så det gällde att få tag i en annan man... Jag vet inte vems felet var att vi båda fumlade, tvekade och kolliderade... Den kvinnliga föraren fick hela frampartiet intryckt. Olyckan berodde på att vägen svängde och var bevuxen med buskar och träd. Vid kollisionstillfället befann jag mig i sittande ställning på Dr Lindgrens toilett, varför jag icke kunde göra något för att avvärja skadan. Den döde kom cycklande från vänster... Quote Right

Quote Left Fråga: Vad tror det är som driver människan framåt? Själv är jag böjd till att tro att girigheten är den ultima drivkraften. Då menar jag girighet i både psykiskt och fysiskt plan. D.v.s en girighet i mental och materiell åtrå. Jag tror då följdaktligen att girighet är det som formar vårt samhälle. Inte så direkt upplyftande eller hur? (Samuel Sannsell) Svar: Borgare brukar säga att människan drivs av egennyttan. Gunnar Adler Karlsson skrev att vi drivs framåt av vår lathet (därav alla tids och människobesparande uppfinningar). En del tror att de kan hitta den genetiska koden som förklarar artens vilja att växa och utvecklas, andra att det är svårt att se nån utveckling överhuvudtaget. Själv tror jag at vi drivs framåt av vår kultur. Vårt sociala vara. Poängen med den tesen är att en kultur kan fyllas med olika gemensamma drivkrafter. I ett samhälle som premierar egennyttan, får den större betydelse. I ett samhälle som premierar samarbete får det beteendet större betydelse. Visst föder din tanke deppiga dagar. Men jag läste en gång några rader om mänsklighetens märkliga förmåga att sätta sig själv inför hotet om utplåning (genom kärnvapenkriget). Det märkliga stod det, är inte att människan har detta terrorvapen i sin hand. Det fantastiska är att man trots fingrarna på knappen under femtio år, ännu inte tryckt av. Quote Right

Quote Left Vad hände förresten med alla de grenar som man rimligen kan förvänta sig av ett Polis-VM? 60 meter 'hur-var-det-här-då'? 'Cirkulera! Här finns inget att se!' Quote Right
Quote Left All humanity is passion; without passion, religion, history, novels, art would be ineffectual. Quote Right
Quote Left There is not much less vexation in the government of a private family than in the managing of an entire state. Quote Right
Quote Left The territorial aristocracy of former ages was either bound by law, or thought itself bound by usage, to come to the relief of its serving-men and to relieve their distress. But the manufacturing aristocracy of our age first impoverishes and debases the men who serve it and then abandons them to be supported by the charity of the public. This is a natural consequence of what has been said before. Between the workman and the master there are frequent relations, but no real association. I am of the opinion, on the whole, that the manufacturing aristocracy which is growing up under our eyes is one of the harshest that ever existed in the world; but at the same time it is one of the most confined and least dangerous. Nevertheless, the friends of democracy should keep their eyes anxiously fixed in this direction; for if ever a permanent inequality of conditions and aristocracy again penetrates into the world, it may be predicted that this is the gate by which they will enter. Quote Right
Quote Left We only confess our little faults to persuade people that we have no big ones. Quote Right

Quote Left Children are guilty of unpardonable rudeness when they spit in the face of a companion; neither are they excusable who spit from windows or on walls or furniture. Quote Right
Quote Left The man who can but sketch his purpose beforehand in words is regarded as a wonder, and every artist and writer possesses that faculty. But gestation, fruition, the laborious rearing of the offspring, putting it to bed every night full fed with milk, embracing it anew every morning with the inexhaustible affection of a mother's heart, licking it clean, dressing it a hundred times in the richest garb only to be instantly destroyed; then never to be cast down at the convulsions of this headlong life till the living masterpiece is perfected which in sculpture speaks to every eye, in literature to every intellect, in painting to every memory, in music to every heart! --this is the task of execution. The hand must be ready at every moment to work in obedience to the mind. Quote Right
Quote Left I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine. A rage, the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge in the other. Quote Right

Quote Left There is a place it’s different for each of us, where your monsters lie.. Mines and endless hotel and the doors are red with baby blue wallpaper lining the hallways. My philosophical question and answers produce a key, and I am greeted by a mirror, no reflection, my hair raises a tumble begins, and a ripple across the surface revealing the monster I face inside, then I go to wonderland but… Idk how to explain it, just when it’s over the pen hit the floor and woke me up, ink is in the page.

Quote Left I can see horror writers, through their work, not physically it’s a unique thing to say. I can see how far you went in to pull your piece out, if you faked it or crafted it without etc. Has a melody, a siren lament, that draws the reader in. There is horror and there is macabre. The difference is, Dracula was crafted by idea versus if I make him, it would be because I met him, shook his hand. Quote Right
Quote Left Why would we want a heaven without loving consciousness to experience and recall friendships infinitely? Silly to think that God would allow us such fond thoughts, and not Himself cherish tender togetherness above all else. Wrong to think that such depth of bliss, such profound cohesiveness could spring out of random evolution unmediated -- Have no doubts. Heaven is our Live Feeling Eternal Companion, and not a random Spiritual Stranger, writer of previously unknown preference and vocabulary. Quote Right
