There's nothing in all the world as much fun as talk. When you're talking, that is, with the right person. ~ Margaret Ayer Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Margaret Ayer Barnes
Mariac tells us about the books he's read, the painters he's liked, the plays he's seen. He finds himself by looking in the works of others. He defines his own faith by a passionate anger against Gide the Luciferian. Reading his 'memories' is like meeting a man on a train who says, 'Don't look at me; that's misleading. If you want to know what I'm like, wait until we're in a tunnel, and then study my reflection in the window.' You wait, and look, and catch a face against a shifting background of sooty walls, cables, and sudden brickwork. The transparent shape flickers and jumps, always a few feet away. You become accustomed to its existence, you move with its movements; and though you know its presence is conditional, you feel it to be permanent. Then there is a wail from ahead, a roar and a burst of light; the face is gone for ever. ~ Julian Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Julian Barnes
You look like someone who's about to do something highly inadvisable. And God knows, if there's something inadvisable going on, I want in. ~ Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
One of the few things in dance to match the Royal Ballet's curtain calls is the Royal Ballet's dancing. ~ Clive Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Clive Barnes
The mechanism of natural selection depends on the survival, not of the strongest, nor the most intelligent, but of the most adaptable. ~ Julian Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Julian Barnes
Listen! Do things look in the ten and twelve of noon look as they do in the dark? Is the hand, the face, the foot, the same face and hand and foot seen by the sun? For now the hand lies in a shadow; its beauties and its deformities are in a smoke - there is a sickle of doubt across the cheek bone thrown by the hat's brim, so there is half a face to be peered back into speculation. A leaf of darkness has fallen under the chin and lies deep upon the arches of the eyes; the eyes themselves have changed their colour. The very mother's head you swore by in the dock is a heavier head, crowned with ponderable hair. ~ Djuna Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Djuna Barnes
Celine snorted. "Never have I ever had a thing for blondes," she said. And then, her eyes on Sloane, she shot our statistician a dazzling smile and lowered her own finger - meaning that she did have a thing for blondes. ~ Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Madness to us means reversion; to such people as Una and Lena it meant progression. Now their uncle had entered into a land beyond them, the land of fancy. For fifty years he had been as they were, silent, hard-working, unimaginative. Then all of a sudden, like a scholar passing his degree, he had gone up into another form ... ~ Djuna Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Djuna Barnes
And b-t-w, if anyone asks you what's in the box, I'd say 'feminine supplies.'"
The box was large and heavy, and there was a distinct clanging sound as I carried it. "As in tampons?"
"Keely's not going to ask questions. Ali's busy with the twins, and everyone else around here is male. Tampons scare the bejeezus out of them, my dad included, but if the person who asks is a Were, they'd smell a lie. Hence, feminine supplies."
"Because we're females, and they're our supplies?" I guessed.
"No. Because weapons are feminine." Lake gave me an insulted look. "Why do you think I named my gun Matilda? ~ Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Do not imagine that Art is something which is designed to give gentle uplift and self-confidence . Art is not a brassiere. At least, not in the English sense. But do not forget that brassiere is the French word for life-jacket. ~ Julian Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Julian Barnes
I've almost come to feel that it doesn't make much difference what you believe in - the thing that's important is a state of belief. It's much better to believe in nonsense than in nothing ... ~ Margaret Ayer Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Margaret Ayer Barnes
Do we tend to recall the most important parts of a novel or those that speak most directly to us, the truest lines or the flashiest ones? ~ Julian Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Julian Barnes
But I don't remember. I won't remember. Memory is an act of will, and so is forgetting. ~ Julian Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Julian Barnes
You are in love, at a point where pride and apprehension scuffle within you. Part of you wants time to slow down: for this, you say to yourself, is the best period of your whole life. I am in love, I want to savour it, study it, lie around in languor with it; may today last forever. This is your poetical side. However, there is also your prose side, which urges time not to slow down but hurry up. How do you know this is love, your prose side whispers like a sceptical lawyer, it's only been around for a few weeks, a few months. You won't know it's the real thing unless you (and she) still feel the same in, oh, a year or so at least; that's the only way to prove you aren't living a dragonfly mistake. Get through this bit, however much you enjoy it, as fast as possible; then you'll be able to find out whether or not you're really in love. ~ Julian Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Julian Barnes
In an oppressive society the truth-telling nature of literature is of a different order, and sometimes valued more highly than other elements in a work of art. ~ Julian Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Julian Barnes
You want power-either because you've already had a taste of it and want more, or because you've been made to feel powerless for too long. ~ Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
There goes the dismantled - Love has fallen off her wall. A religious woman," he thought to himself, "without the joy and safety of the Catholic faith, which at a pinch covers up the spots on the wall when the family portraits take a slide; take that safety from a woman," he said to himself, quickening his step to follow her, "and love gets loose and into the rafters. She sees her everywhere," he added, glancing at Nora as she passed into the dark. "Out looking for what she's afraid to find - Robin. There goes mother of mischief, running about, trying to get the world home. ~ Djuna Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Djuna Barnes
The fight for sanity in our gun safety laws is not by any means over. In many ways it's just beginning. ~ Michael D. Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Michael D. Barnes
It does seem, in other words, not only more difficult for a woman experimental writer to be accepted than for a woman writer (which corresponds to the male situation of experimental writer vs. writer), but also peculiarly more difficult for a woman experimental writer to be accepted than for a male experimental writer. She may, if young, get caught up in a "movement," like Djuna Barnes, like H.D., like Laura Riding, as someone's mistress, and then be forgotten, or if old, she maybe "admitted" into a group, under a label, but never quite as seriously considered as the men in that group. ~ Christine Brooke-Rose
Arnella Barnes quotes by Christine Brooke-Rose
No man really wants his freedom. He gets a habit as quickly as possible
it is a form of immortality ~ Djuna Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Djuna Barnes
Women scheme when they are weak, they lie out of fear. Men scheme when they are strong, they lie out of arrogance. ~ Julian Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Julian Barnes
This was hopeless. In a novel, Adrian wouldn't just have accepted things as they were put to him. What was the point of having a situation worthy of fiction if the protagonist didn't behave as he would have done in a book? Adrian should have gone snooping, or saved up his pocket money and employed a private detective; perhaps all four of us should have gone off on a Quest to Discover the Truth. Or would that have been less like literature and too much like a kids' story? ~ Julian Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Julian Barnes
When my nose finally stops bleeding and I've disposed of the bloody paper towels, Teddy Barnes insists on driving me home in his ancient Honda Civic, a car that refuses to die and that Teddy, cheap as he is, refuses to trade in. ~ Richard Russo
Arnella Barnes quotes by Richard Russo
Restlessness is an itch that, if left unscratched, is a curse. ~ Seth Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Seth Barnes
Heroes become traitors, traitors become martyrs. ~ Julian Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Julian Barnes
I think that, in all of my time, I got just one fan letter, from an NFL fullback named Darian Barnes. NFL players might not have enough time for my books. ~ George R R Martin
Arnella Barnes quotes by George R R Martin
I think there's a different authenticity to memory, and not an inferior one. Memory sorts and sifts according to the demands made on it by the rememberer. ~ Julian Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Julian Barnes
I think of how long we search to find a place we might call ours, where we might feel we have found a home: the perfect house in the perfect town; the sacred hollow; that place in the heart we call love; the state of grace we call salvation. ~ Kim Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Kim  Barnes
Why do we invent the monster as a metaphor? Surely all we need do is witness our own cruelty to each other to see the real face of evil. ~ Mark T. Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Mark T. Barnes
in life every thing comes with a price even freedom ~ Steven Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Steven Barnes
When I was going out with her, it always seemed that her actions were instinctive. But then I was resistant to the whole idea that women were or could be manipulative. This may tell you more about me than it does about her. And even if I were to decide, at this late stage, that she was and always had been calculating, I'm not sure it would help matters. By which I mean: help me. ~ Julian Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Julian Barnes
I had to protect him. And me. So I took everything I felt for the pack. I saw the bond, and instead of closing myself off to it, I pulled. I pulled at it and I thrust it toward Chase. ~ Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
My own [story] is the simplest ... it hardly amounts to more than a convincing proof of my existence - and yet I find it the hardest to begin. ~ Julian Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Julian Barnes
Well, to be honest I think I tell less truth when I write journalism than when I write fiction. ~ Julian Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Julian Barnes
The past is a distant, receding coastline, and we are all in the same boat. Along the stern rail there is a line of telescopes; each brings the shore into focus at a given distance. If the boat is becalmed, one of the telescopes will be in continual use; it will seem to tell the whole, the unchanging truth. But this is an illusion; and as the boat sets off again, we return to our normal activity: scurrying from one telescope to another, seeing the sharpness fade in one, waiting for the blur to clear in another. And when the blur does clear, we imagine that we have made it do so all by ourselves. ~ Julian Barnes
Arnella Barnes quotes by Julian Barnes
