I gazed back up the dome of the heavens painted on the ceiling above. It was only then that I noticed somethings else in the painted sky, directly above the bed. The sun, moon and stars were positioned in swirls around some object in the centre, like angels clustered round the throne of God. But this was no throne, nor was it God. [Vincent] ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
We couldn't bring the sheep back to life, so there was nothing for it but to eat the evidence. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
You will sleep till the stars fall from the heavens ans the seas turn into dust. [Father Arthmael] ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
Hope itself is always genuine. It's only what it's placed in that can prove to be false. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
You've heard tales of beauty and the beast. How a fair maid falls in love with a monster and sees the beauty of his soul beneath the hideous visage. But you've never heard the tale of the handsome man falling for the monstrous woman and finding joy in her love, because it doesn't happen, not even in a story-teller's tale. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
Sometimes I feared I'd turn into a bat myself, stuck up there night and day, scrathing away. [Vincent] ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
A witch cannot die until her familiars or imps are dead. If a witch desires to put an end to her suffering she must call each familiar by name and order it to die. Then, when the last is dead, she too will die. Greetwell Edward ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
Maybe that is what Hell is, being trapped for ever in your own nightmares and never being able to wake. [Gisa] ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
The earth makes creatures well again. When you are sick you are put to bed, and when you are very sick, you are put into the earth to make you well. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
On the shelves of her uncle's shop a jar contains the powdered skull of a suicide, a well-known cure for the falling sickness. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
You have already excommunicated half the village because they will not pay their tithes. So why wouldn't they come to us? Can you excommunicate them twice over? As for the sick, most are here because the Mother Church in her great charity has already damned them and driven them out. The churches are emptier than a pauper's purse and little wonder, for men get more solace from the alewives than from their priests. More stand now outside your church than within it. What difference does it make if you forbid them burial in your churchyard, since they cannot afford the soul-scot you charge them to be buried there? Those who still look to God make their prayers far away from the church, where the air is sweeter and their voices are not smothered beneath your hypocrisy and greed. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
I'd love to own Newstead, partly because it belonged to Lord Byron, but also to try to uncover what dark secrets really lie beneath. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
That is the art of being a good librarian. You must always be able to lay hands on anything your master requires. Keep everything, chiot, throw away nothing, however insignificant or old. You never know when it might be needed. "The cornerstone which the builders rejected", that is what an ancient book is, Vincent, a cornerstone. Many might consider it worthless, but one day it may prove to be the very stone upon which the whole house stands. Words, Vincent, always hoard the written words as if they were royal jewels. [Gaspard] ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
He was a good-looking man, but then rogues usually are ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
My brave husband came back from fighting the Turks and brought me a robe of silk and a necklace of human teeth. He sat up at night by his hearth telling tales of battle. Apparently the Turks are ten times more ferocious and fearless than the Scots. 'Perhaps we should invite them here to drive the Scots back,' I suggested, and he laughed, but he didn't kiss me. That's when I learned the truth about scars. A man with a battle scar is a veteran, a hero, given an honoured place at the fire. Small boys gaze up fascinated, dreaming of winning such badges of courage. Maids caress his thighs with their buttocks as they bend over to mull his ale. Women cluck and cosset, and if in time other men grow a little weary of that tale of honour, then they call for his cup to be filled again and again until he is fuddled and dozes quietly in the warmth of the embers.

But a scarred woman is not encouraged to tell her story. Boys jeer and mothers cross themselves. Pregnant women will not come close for fear that if they look upon such a sight, the infant in their belly will be marked. You've heard of the tales of Beauty and the Beast no doubt. How a fair maid falls in love with a monster and sees the beauty of his soul beneath the hideous visage. But you've never heard the tale of the handsome man falling for the monstrous woman and finding joy in her love, because it doesn't happen, not even in fairytales. The truth is that the scarred woman's husband buys her a good thick veil and ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
Pay heed, my darlings, and always take the greatest care over the company you keep in life: if death strikes you without warning, you may be stuck with them til the moon turns to blood and wouldn't that be a torment? ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
On the other hand, curiosity was eating me up, and curiosity is a demon who will not relinqish its hold on you until its voracious appetite has been satisfied. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
The monk, Gregory the Great, tells how a nun, in her greed, ate a lettuce without first making the sign of the cross to protect herself against the evil spirits that hide between its leaves, and so she became possessed by a demon. Greetwell ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
Miracles are like murders. After the first one, each becomes easier than the last for, with each success, the miracle-worker's certainty in himself becomes stronger. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
We forget how bawdy and brutal the Middle Ages were. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
A child's fingernails should never be cut in the first year. The mother must bite them off or he'll become a thief. But when they are first cut at a year old, they must be buried under an ash tree so that witches can't take them and cause the child harm. Lincoln ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
It was a mark of just how saintly I was that I hand't smothered him to death long ago. [Vincent] ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
The day that I left my home, I had prayed that my children would forget me. I wanted to spare them the pain of remembering. But that night, as I crouched in the white mist, waiting, I knew more than anything that I wanted them to remember, I wanted desperately to go on living in someone's memory. If we are not remembered, we are more than dead, for it is as if we had never lived. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
Are you finally admitting that you can sell a man hope? Have I at last succeeded in teaching you that?'
He laughed and flicked his whip again, harder. He was in a better mood than I had seen for months.
'No, Camelot, not hope. Hope is for the weak; have I not succeeded in teaching you that? To hope is to put your faith in others and in things outside yourself; that way lies betrayal and disappointment. They didn't want hope, Camelot; they wanted certainty. What a man needs is the certainty that he is right, no selfdoubt, no fleeting thought that he might be wrong or misled. Absolute certainty that he is right, that's what gives a man the confidence and power to do whatever he wants and to take whatever he wants from this world and the next. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
Both the vessel and the receiver must be chosen carefully according to the nature of the ting to be distilled. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
In 1255, Louis IX of France presented an elephant to Henry III of England to add to the menagerie of exotic animals he kept in the Tower of London. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
Et moriendo docebo - I will teach you how to die. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
I truly believed that the creation of hope was the greatest of all the arts, the noblest of all the lies. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
Sometimes mercy is not a kindness and pity is not love. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
How long have I been here? I haven't been able to tell day from night with eyes covered." [Vincent]
"Nor could you anyway, in here. There are no windows and the walls are so thick you cannot hear the church bells. It was built so that the one who prayed here would not be aware of the passage of time or the world outside. When we reach into the higher planes, we pass beyond time. Only the body is governed by time, but that too, I will change". [Sylvian] ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
Home is the place you return to when you have finally lost your soul. Home is the place where life is born, not the place of your birth, but the place where you seek rebirth. When you no longer have to remember which tale of your own past is true and which is an invention, when you know that you are an invention, then is the time to seek out your home. Perhaps only when you have come to understand that can you finally reach home. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
They say despair is a terrible thing, but hope is worse: it keeps you shackled for ever, like a dog in a wheel, always running, but never able to go anywhere, save round and round. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
The essence of the moon, gathered by a virgin, added to the death of innocence. [Sylvian] ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
Hope may be an illusion, but it's what keeps you from jumping in the river or swallowing hemlock. Hope is a beautiful lie and it requires talent to create it for others. And back then on that day when they say it first began, I truly believed that the creation of hope was the greatest of all the arts, the noblest of all the lies. I was wrong. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
She was like an outline of the painting of the Holy Virgin that an artist has sketched in black and white, but not yet filled with colour. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
If they don't utter the words, it cannot happen. But words, once spoken, seal a man or maid for life or death. [Gisa] ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
For a moment there was an expression of greedy excitement in his eyes, like you see in the eyes of men when they are looking at woman who arouses their lust. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
There was a man with the sun in the place of his head and a woman with the moon instead of a face. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
Besides, I'm not sure they let ferrets into Heaven and I'd miss old Mavet. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
They were just the ordinary sounds of of people beginning their day, silly raucous, discordant, but they were the most beautiful sounds on earth, the sounds of living people. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
She's one of the fay folk; half of her is a woman, but she has the legs of a goat, except no one ever sees those for she hides them under her robes. She sleeps deep in the black pool while it's day, but at witch-light she rises in robes green as pond weed, glowing in the dark with her silver hair trailing behind her. She's so beautiful any man who glimpses her can't take his eyes off her. but that's just her witchery for inside she's really a withered old crone with a heart as black as a marsh pool. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
The hand of a man hanged on the gallows has healing powers. If it be stroked across a sore, tumour or goitre, the evil shall pass to the dead man and the sick will be cured. If a woman be barren she should go to a gibbet at night, climb up and reach through the bars and draw the corpse's hand across her womb three or seven times and her curse will leave her. Lincoln ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
Why do mortals think that suffering is a coin with which they can buy justice or salvation? ... life is a steal if you are a talented thief, and if you are not, then you may suffer all you please but if will buy you nothing but pain. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
His gaze was fixed so intently on me that, though I had been determined to look him in the eye as his equal, I found myself having to stare down at the corner of the table in order to stammer out a word. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
People sense that our reaction to phenomena such as epidemics or religious war is not that different to how we reacted to plagues or to battles a millennia ago. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
They all wait impatiently for the blessed cloak of darkness to cover their wretched little deeds, but the sun will not be hurried by the whims of men. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
I was about to add it was as likely a friendship as Lucifer and the Archangel Michael sharing a jug of ale, but I stopped myself. [Vincent] ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
If anyone fears theft, let him scatter caraway seeds among those things of value and if a thief should try to steal them he shall be held in that place. Likewise, if a woman fears her husband may stray she should sew caraway seeds into his clothes, so that no other woman may steal him away from her. Mistress ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
We had taken her for granted until she was no longer there, like an ancient tree you don't truly see until it is felled, and then only from the empty space in the sky do you suddenly grasp its stature. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
There is no higher soul than that of man and it is from man that the stone of eternal life must be drawn. Therefore the book that contains the knowledge of that stone must be wrapped in human flesh. No matter how sick a man might be, no matter what his deformities, his healing lies within these pages. [Sylvian] ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
If I had killed someone, it would certainly have come as no surprise to him, since he was always telling I'd end my days on the gallows. [Vincent] ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
In the Middle Ages, I think the French kings murdered slightly fewer of their family members than the English kings, though I haven't actually counted the heads. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
There was a new king and his name was pestilence. And he had created a new law - thou shalt do anything to survive. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
Reckon it's best if you don't have anyone you care about; then it can't hurt you. Don't have to be afraid of losing someone if you no one to lose. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
Some of what you see, my child, may make you affraid, revolted even, but you must remember that all life is born of corruption. The reborn can rise only from death and decay. Resurrection springs only from the tomb. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
Yet the ink on the page was ancient, faded. (...) Fresh iron-gall ink was as black as Beelzebub's beards. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
You are the sacred consummation of the sun and the moon and the shadow and you will become the poison of death. [Sylvian] ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
I have been wronged by so many men that I find it hard to trust anyone and see only greed and malice in every heart. [Sylvian] ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
Mortals are strange creatures; they cling to life even when that life is nothing but pain and misery, yet they will throw away their lives for a word, an idea, even a flag. Wolves piss to mark their territory. Smell the stench of another pack and wolves will quietly slink away. Why risk a fight when it might maim or kill you? But humans will slash and slaughter in their thousands to plant their little piece of cloth on a hill or hang it from a battlement. ~ Karen Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maitland
PROS: things that make it look like I could be
...
5. K'Vruck poked at me mentally, then said, "Ah, there you are." (WTF????) ~ Karen Marie Moning
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Marie Moning
The more we can embrace failure, the more we will be able to open to it and the more confident and resilient we will become. ~ Karen Kimsey-House
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Kimsey-House
Some say that love is the sweetest feeling, the purest form of joy, but that isn't right. It's not love
it's relief. ~ Karen Thompson Walker
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Thompson Walker
To be honest, I consider my very sordid past a blessing; if only because it made my wonderful present - and my bright future - possible! ~ Karen E. Quinones Miller
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen E. Quinones Miller
We need myths that will help us to identify with all our fellow-beings, not simply with those who belong to our ethnic, national or ideological tribe. We need myths that help us to realize the importance of compassion, which is not always regarded as sufficiently productive or efficient in our pragmatic, rational world. We need myths that help us to create a spiritual attitude, to see beyond our immediate requirements, and enable us to experience a transcendent value that challenges our solipsistic selfishness. We need myths that help us to venerate the earth as sacred once again, instead of merely using it as a 'resource.' This is crucial, because unless there is some kind of spiritual revolution that is able to keep abreast of our technological genius, we will not save our planet. ~ Karen Armstrong
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Armstrong
When the sun shines o'er the loch and sparkles on the water like diamond drops, ye know one thing:
somewhere there's a MacLean who is smilin'. ~ Karen Hawkins
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Hawkins
A great ruler, a great court, a great kingdom, these texts suggest never exist unto themselves, as stable, fully actualized entities, and, therefore, are never experienced in their plenitude in the present. Instead, they are always remembered as something that occured in the past or anticipated as something will reoccur in the future. Insofar as they are experienced in the current time, it is only for a brief and evanescent moment, overshadowed by the knowledge that it will soon vanish.
For a realist, the fact that the excellence of a person, a place, or a time is not appreciated in its own time proves that it was never actually as excellent as it seemed.
For a Romantic, however, there exist a people, places, and times whose excellence can only be appreciated Arthur always has to be - to quote the Alliterative Morte Arthure (ca.1400) - "the once and future king ~ Karen Sullivan
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Sullivan
K'Vruck is so much more complete than death. It is the reduction of matter to a state of utter inertness, from which nothing can ever rise again. It is less than nothing. Nothing is something. K'Vruck is absolute. Your species would postulate the loss of soul to try to wrap their puny brains around it.
I stiffen. I know this voice. This mockery. My spear will be no use against it. If I kill the Hunter, it would probably just hop a ride on me.
I will tell you a secret, it says silkily. You do go on. Humans. Unless you are - it laughs softly - K'Vrucked. ~ Karen Marie Moning
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Marie Moning
There is a loneliness that must be particular to monsters, I think, the feeling that each is the only child of a species. And now that loneliness was over. ~ Karen Russell
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Russell
To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself to us as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of all true religiousness. ~ Karen Armstrong
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Armstrong
Barrons was powerful, broodingly good-looking, insanely wealthy, frighteningly intelligent, and had exquisite taste, not to mention a hard body that emitted some kind of constant low-level charge. Bottom line: He was the stuff of heroes.
And psychotic killers. ~ Karen Marie Moning
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Marie Moning
Hanging out with her was like having a friend with multiple personalities; you never knew who was going to show up next. ~ Karen Lynch
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Lynch
I only feel the pressure when we are coming up against a deadline and it's like, actually no we really have to nail this in a week! ~ Karen Walker
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Walker
And I just couldn't take it anymore. I closed the distance between us, slammed him back against the chair and kissed him, holding his head still with both my hands buried in that stupid, stupid hair. I half expected more resistance, because Pritkin had never met an argument he didn't like. So it was a shock when he ran his hands down my sides, cupped my hips and slid us both to the floor.
"I'm going straight to hell for this," he muttered.
"At least you'll know a lot of people," I said breathlessly. ~ Karen Chance
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Chance
If you tell people enough times that they are unhappy, incomplete, possibly insane and definitely selfish there is bound to come a grey morning when they wake up with the beginning of a nasty cold and wonder if they are lonely rather than simply "alone." ~ Sara Maitland
Karen Maitland quotes by Sara Maitland
I can't say that winning the Pen/Faulkner was a dream come true because I would never have dared to dream it. ~ Karen Joy Fowler
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Joy Fowler
Some shadowy, self-destructive, confused place no longer existed inside me. I was of a single, clear mind. There were goals, and there were methods to attain them. There were my chosen responsibilities and those things I was willing to do to honor them. There were the things I was willing to live with and the things I wasn't willing to live without. There was a quiet, deep abiding love of myself - flaws and all, and I had plenty - and the world around me, and it had plenty, too. ~ Karen Marie Moning
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Marie Moning
God makes everyone to carry out different tasks. ~ Karen Kingsbury
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Kingsbury
Just because I give you my all, doesn't mean I'm a pushover. Don't make the mistake of underestimating me. Push too hard and you'll see how strong I really am! ~ Karen Gibbs
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Gibbs
Granana doesn't understand what the big deal is. She didn't cry at Olivia's funeral, and I doubt she even remembers Olivia's name. Granana lost, like, ninety-two million kids in childbirth. All of her brothers died in the war. She survived the Depression by stealing radish bulbs from her neighbors' garden, and fishing the elms for pigeons. Dad likes to remind us of this in a grave voice, as if it explained her jaundiced pitilessness: Boys. Your grandmother ate pigeons. ~ Karen Russell
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Russell
The getup, sort of mad scientist meets Rambo, would have made me smile, except that I believe in showing respect for someone carrying that much hardware. ~ Karen Chance
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Chance
Her heart is no longer hers, it belongs to him, in all its brokenness and vulnerability. She prays that he protects it and doesn't finish the job, completely destroying it. ~ Karen-Anne Stewart
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen-Anne Stewart
When the horror recedes and the world resumes its normal shape, you cannot forget it. You have seen what is really there, the empty horror that exists when the consoling illusion of our mundane experience is stripped away, so you can never respond to the world in quite the same way again. ~ Karen Armstrong
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Armstrong
It took me years to learn that sentences in fiction must do much more than stand around and look pretty. ~ Karen Thompson Walker
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Thompson Walker
I didn't ask. Some things are better left unsaid.
He looked at me and I shivered. I never get enough of him.
Never will.
He lives.
I breathe.
I want. Him. Always.
Fire to my ice. Ice to my fever.
Later we would go to bed, and when he rose over me, dark and vast and eternal, I'd know joy. ~ Karen Marie Moning
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Marie Moning
Why is it so unutterably beneficial, the thought that someone besides myself knows me? ~ Karen Horney
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Horney
That was her favorite part, the moments of laughter and silliness. In some way, these times made their marriage strong, kept her more in love with Connor Evans every year. If they could play together this way, they would always be okay. ~ Karen Kingsbury
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Kingsbury
The best way to take our minds off our own troubles is to help someone else with theirs. ~ Karen Witemeyer
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Witemeyer
One thing I do know is things can always get worse, most often at the precise moment you've decided they can't. ~ Karen Marie Moning
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Marie Moning
Happiness is not about what happens to you, but how you choose to respond to what happens. ~ Karen Salmansohn
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Salmansohn
I am talking about something more than just the gauzy circle of life. Sure, you're older now and one day you're going to die, but before that, you have to *die*. Your child has arrived and the battle has been joined. It is the battle to the death of your ego. The demise of your selfishness and impatience. The end of your idle distractions and carelessness. The decline and fall of Numero Uno. Or so you must pray, because in this contest, you must lose or lose quickly. Pray that you will never bear the shattered consequences of winning when your child's safety, trust, and happiness are the casualties. ~ Karen Maezen Miller
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Maezen Miller
The point is, we all come to forks in the road, and we all make our choices and live with them, for good or ill..[spoilers left out] ... You came to a fork in the road, and you made the best choice you could at the time, under the circumstances you were faced with and using the information you had. You have nothing to beat yourself up over. -Tony Marino ~ Karen Robards
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Robards
It's go time.' He takes my elbow and gentles me down the planks with such tenderness that I am suddenly very afraid. But there's no sense making the plunge slow and unbearable. I take a running leap down the pier- ... -and launch over the water. It's my favorite moment: when I'm one toe away from flight and my body takes over. The choice is made, but the consequence is still just an inky shimmer beneath me. And I'm flying, I'm rushing to meet my own reflection- ~ Karen Russell
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Russell
I swim with all my strength. No superhuman surge, or pony heroics; it's just me at my most desperate. ~ Karen Russell
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Russell
The myth of the first world is that
development is wealth and technology progress.
It is all rubbish.
It means that you are no longer human beings
but only labor.
It means that the land you live on is not earth
but only property. ~ Karen Tei Yamashita
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Tei Yamashita
We are addicted to our egotism, our likes and dislikes and prejudices, and depend upon them for our own sense of identity. ~ Karen Armstrong
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Armstrong
Success is everyone's child. Failure is an orphan." Omas smiled ruefully. ~ Karen Traviss
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Traviss
I may not have saved you but I fucking avenged you. ~ Karen Marie Moning
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Marie Moning
Dude, we're talking immortality. There ain't no price too high! ~ Karen Marie Moning
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Marie Moning
In the theater, actors are the essential element of the work. In a film, it's a real collaboration - not that theater isn't, because it is - but it's a collaboration to such an extent that you can give a performance in film that sometimes you look at and you go, "Well, that's not the performance I was trying to give at all." ~ Karen Allen
Karen Maitland quotes by Karen Allen
The arts are an integral part of the city's economic progress. ~ Karen Kain
