So many doors forever. There were never enough. Each door had several locks. One lock was combination. Another required keys. Another was a simple side latch. Another was strictly ornamental. Another you could open by whispering the right thing to it at the right time, which is the type of lock most humans have. ~ Blake Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Butler
What if life after death is all based within memory: you die, and you don't ascend on a bed of clouds to Jesus, but your brain has a terrain that it can use to propel itself further. It's more of a theoretical afterlife. If that's true, all of these theoretical afterlives of people could potentially interact or network. That space seems way more powerful and exciting than reality. This potential boundlessness is more of what god is to me. ~ Blake Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Butler
Email servers learned to laugh. ~ Blake Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Butler
When I was a kid my primary goal in life was to find a book that was alive. Not alive in the human sense, but like a thing that would send me to a place not otherwise accessible on Earth. This book should have hidden words encrypted beneath the printed ones, so that if I worked hard enough and discovered the code I would somehow end up inside the book, or the book would take on a body and consume me, revealing a secret set of rooms behind the wall in my bedroom, for instance, inside which anything could be. ~ Blake Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Butler
It is important not to show too many inches at once. ~ Blake Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Butler
Worse than knowing I needed out, I didn't know what I needed back into. Even when I could feel there was something else beyond the edges of any color in the street or window where no one waited even to just totally ignore me, I couldn't recognize it enough to know how to want it harder. Along each street it was as if I were waiting for some hole to swallow my face. Each moment it didn't made the going into the next step that much less worth doing. This is what life had always felt like. In my mind, expecting the absence of something or someone there before me made the presence in its place feel like the punch line to a routine no one was performing. And where I couldn't find a way to laugh, I became my own stand-in, over and over, like painting white over a window from the inside. ~ Blake Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Butler
My love is inside me where my fat was. ~ Blake Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Butler
I thought of my father, alone and elsewhere, his head cradled in his hands. I thought of the day he'd punched a hole straight through the kitchen wall, thinking she'd be tucked away inside. All those places he'd looked and never found. Inside their mattress. In stained-glass windows. How he'd scoured the carpet for her stray hair and strung them all together with a ribbon; how he'd slept with that one lock swathed across his nostrils, hugging a pillow fitted with a nightshirt. How he'd dug up the backyard, stripped and sweating. How he'd played her favorite album on repeat and loud, a lure. How when we took up the carpet in my bedroom to find her, under the carpet was wood. Under the wood there was cracked concrete. Under the concrete there was dirt. Under the dirt there was a cavity of water. I swam down into the water with my nose clenched and lungs burning in my chest but I could not find the bottom and I couldn't see a thing. ~ Blake Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Butler
Overhead the sky was melting, the cracked cream color rubbing off in cogs of brine.
The fields far ahead of me in endless pudding, studded here and there with what had been: homes and houses, hair and heirlooms, habits, hallways, hauntings, hope. ~ Blake Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Butler
Reality is overrated to me. Everyone spends enough time on the computer, eating, going out to bars. Why do I need to read a book about that? ~ Blake Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Butler
DAYS ARE WEEKS AND WEEKS ARE DAYS INSIDE YOU ~ Blake Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Butler
I think language is a system that we have devised to negotiate a series of more amorphous entities. It's a layer you can use to see where those things exist, but if you don't have anyone speaking anymore, those things are still there. The things that language stands for do not require humans, and in fact are often trampled down by humans. ~ Blake Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Butler
The father threw up on the ground. In the vomit, there were errors--strings not vomit, but language, light. The bunched up bits were writing something, words at once sunk into the ground. ~ Blake Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Butler
God as now generally conceived of is only the last witch. ~ Samuel Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Samuel Butler
I went straight from high school to 'Gossip Girl,' and both were very structured, scheduled environments, so I never had freedom to explore and carve my own path. ~ Blake Lively
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Lively
The law of attraction didn't apply to us, so we made up our own rules. ~ Renee Ericson
Blake Butler quotes by Renee Ericson
I sat, a solitary man, In a crowded London shop, An open book and empty cup On the marble table-top. While on the shop and street I gazed My body of a sudden blazed; And twenty minutes more or less It seemed, so great my happiness, That I was blessed and could bless. ~ William Butler Yeats
Blake Butler quotes by William Butler Yeats
My mom modeled and made clothes, so I always had such an appreciation for design. ~ Blake Lively
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Lively
Never grow old, my little Briton. It really isn't worth the effort. ~ Richard Blake
Blake Butler quotes by Richard Blake
I miss him," she whispered, her voice cracking.
His heart constricted at the grief on her face. "I know, honey." He lifted a hand to stroke the soft waves of her hair. A soothing, reassuring gesture, but to him it meant so much more. His muscles knotted with the need to cup her face between his hands and kiss her the way he'd been dying to for so long. He wanted to kiss away the sadness and the grief, replace it with the heat and tenderness burning inside him. ~ Kaylea Cross
Blake Butler quotes by Kaylea Cross
Your relationship should erase your tears, not your smile. ~ Blake Shelton
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Shelton
The impossible is just the possible you haven't met yet. ~ Deborah Blake
Blake Butler quotes by Deborah Blake
Work up imagination to the state of vision. ~ William Blake
Blake Butler quotes by William Blake
I cry, Love! Love! Love! happy happy Love! free as the mountain wind! ~ William Blake
Blake Butler quotes by William Blake
A man should be just cultured enough to be able to look with suspicion upon culture at first, not second hand. ~ Samuel Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Samuel Butler
If you follow reason far enough it always leads to conclusions that are contrary to reason. ~ Samuel Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Samuel Butler
Travelers repose and dream among my leaves. ~ William Blake
Blake Butler quotes by William Blake
There is nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns. ~ Octavia E. Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Octavia E. Butler
In the sixth row of the theater, in the third chair in, Anna winks at me. Or maybe she just blinks. I can't tell. She's missing half of her face. ~ Kendare Blake
Blake Butler quotes by Kendare Blake
Sometimes, when people get treated as less than human, the best way to help them feel better is to simply treat them as human. Not as victims. Just you as you. Rashad Butler, before all this. ~ Jason Reynolds
Blake Butler quotes by Jason Reynolds
Supreme art is a traditional statement of certain heroic and religious truth, passed on from age to age, modified by individual genius, but never abandoned. ~ William Butler Yeats
Blake Butler quotes by William Butler Yeats
I used to give up writing like some people would give up smoking. ~ Octavia E. Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Octavia E. Butler
I've never gone on a date ... If I've ever had a man in my life, it's because I know him well, and he really means something to me. ~ Blake Lively
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Lively
What do you think you're doing?" ... "What does it look like, Blake? I'm obviously having wild sex on a cement bench with my best friend's boyfriend fifteen feet from a yard full of people. ~ Talia Vance
Blake Butler quotes by Talia Vance
Cole leaned in for a back-pounding and murmured in Beckett's ear. "Blake and I need you alive too. Don't forget that. ~ Debra Anastasia
Blake Butler quotes by Debra Anastasia
LIVIA DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY REMEMBER the details of the night before when she woke in her bed. Her blanket had been arranged around her. As she sat up, she noticed little paper-napkin roses tucked among her belongings. Blake.
He'd even given Teddy a spiffy bow tie. He must have taken a whole stack of napkins from The Launch Pad, and the sunlight trickling in her window explained his absence. His fancy clothes were folded neatly on the end of her bed. The prince was the one to run out of time in this Cinderella story. ~ Debra Anastasia
Blake Butler quotes by Debra Anastasia
She is not clever . . . She is cruel. ~ Kendare Blake
Blake Butler quotes by Kendare Blake
I've only had one platinum album, and it's 'Red River Blue'. ~ Blake Shelton
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Shelton
She loved at light-speed. No hesitation. No regrets. No conditions. No reservations. While he hoarded his chips and held a part of himself back, she went all in. Every time. ~ Blake Crouch
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Crouch
You're the only one who can bring me through this, because I've never trusted someone the way I trust you. I love you so much it hurts sometimes. You have to believe me, that you're the only one who can heal me, Blake. ~ Meredith Wild
Blake Butler quotes by Meredith Wild
And I know Blake had a bunch of fucking problems going on the night he was shot. But Mouse here made sure the hired guns were dead before they could hurt him. I don't know if I get to call him a hero, if that's allowed, because I'm a bad man, and he was my friend. But he was a hero to me. ~ Debra Anastasia
Blake Butler quotes by Debra Anastasia
I frowned as my fingers throbbed. "Wait a sec. There's a chance I can't work with fire and you let me do that?""How else am I going to figure out your limitations?"
"What the hell!" I pulled my hand free, furious. "That's not cool, Blake. What's next? Trying to stop a moving vehicle by standing in front of it, but whoops, I can't do that and now I'm dead? ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout
Blake Butler quotes by Jennifer L. Armentrout
On average, I order about three meals for myself in one sitting. ~ Blake Lively
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Lively
Normal people never like me. ~ Blake Nelson
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Nelson
If I could spit out a litter of kids, I would. ~ Blake Lively
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Lively
I have always been averse to theorizing about the art or craft of biography. Like Disraeli's biographer, Lord Blake, who offers the cautionary analogy of the biographical centipede unsure of her next step because of too much cerebration, I have made it my practice to let the facts find the theory. ~ David Levering Lewis
Blake Butler quotes by David Levering Lewis
I don't like leaving work behind. I hate the idea that something might be happening on the drawing board at home that I am going to miss. ~ Quentin Blake
Blake Butler quotes by Quentin Blake
I think just knowing you're married and having that in the back of your mind all the time - it sounds official, but it doesn't really feel any different. We don't do anything differently than we did before. ~ Blake Shelton
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Shelton
I'm still learning how dogged people can be in denial, even when their freedom or their lives are at stake. ~ Octavia E. Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Octavia E. Butler
We have no need for the past. All we need are the present and the future. - Ciel Phantomhive ~ Yana Toboso
Blake Butler quotes by Yana Toboso
Now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? ~ William Butler Yeats
Blake Butler quotes by William Butler Yeats
Her eyes held an endless kind of love for him. ~ Karen Kingsbury
Blake Butler quotes by Karen Kingsbury
Sex and violence ... are the two great engines of the world. ~ James Carlos Blake
Blake Butler quotes by James Carlos Blake
I'm not a straight man, but I play one on television. ~ Dan Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Dan Butler
Her whole life they have thought her a failure, yet at the first hint of hope, they move to follow her, as if it is what they wanted all along.
Perhaps it was. ~ Kendare Blake
Blake Butler quotes by Kendare Blake
Letty had barely touched her food. Javier stared down at her through a pair of aviator sunglasses. "You forgot something," she said. "What's that?" "My name. Who will they be expecting?" "Selena Kitt. S-E-L-E-N-A K-I-T-T. But you won't be carrying any identification. ~ Blake Crouch
Blake Butler quotes by Blake Crouch
Nobody was living on the first floor, which had been vacant for some time, ~ Patricia Blake
Blake Butler quotes by Patricia Blake
Ready to s-snuggle?" he asked Kaidan, a slight clatter in his voice. Only Blake could joke on a night like this and get away with it.
Kaidan shook his head and undressed down to his boxers, too, the tension finally shedding away from his frame. "I swear, mate. If I feel something poke me in the back ... "
Blake's laugh was dry. "I'm pretty sure my junk froze off, man, so don't worry. ~ Wendy Higgins
Blake Butler quotes by Wendy Higgins
He could not tell her that he was angry because she did not love him. Even he could not utter such foolishness. Certainly, he did not love her. He did not love anyone except perhaps Isaac and a very few of his other children. Yet he wanted Anyanwu to be like his many other women and treat him like a god in human form, competing for his attention no matter how repugnant his latest body nor even whether he might be looking for a new body. They knew he took women almost as readily as he took men. Especially, he took women who had already given him what he wanted of them
usually several children. They served him and never thought they might be his next victims. Someone else. Not them. ~ Octavia E. Butler
Blake Butler quotes by Octavia E. Butler
"that moment ... that moment out there?" Blake pointed at the bed of army jacket, grass, and mint. "I've pictured it in my head for months. Months! I knew it would never really happen, but it kept me going. The beautiful, smiling girl would look at me like a man-a man worthy of her body, worthy of her kisses. Do you realize what a fool I am for hoping?" ~ Debra Anastasia
Blake Butler quotes by Debra Anastasia
