When I draw, I rule the world. ~ Mort Walker
Mort quotes by Mort Walker
I took Beetle home thinking that after the Korean War was over, I would have to take him out of the Army. I thought, well, what am I going to do with him? ~ Mort Walker
Mort quotes by Mort Walker
One reason to keep going is that the country was given to us as a sacred charge. It is, as Stephen Vincent Benet says in 'the Devil and Daniel Webster,' not the only place that created free man- but... Read More its a place that demands that we decide what to do with out freedom. You can only punish yourself, That's the existential view. I don't think there's any reward beyond participating, beyond being here. And the antithesis of reward is punishment, and the only punishment that can come is self-inflicted. I remain optimistic. Whether or not the optimism is justified, I don't know. I want to stay around for the third act. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
Death was standing behind a lectern, poring over a map. He looked at Mort as if he wasn't entirely there.
Yᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇɴ'ᴛ ʜᴇᴀʀᴅ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ Bᴀʏ Oғ Mᴀɴᴛᴇ, ʜᴀᴠᴇ ʏᴏᴜ? he said.
"No, sir," said Mort.
Fᴀᴍᴏᴜs sʜɪᴘᴡʀᴇᴄᴋ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ.
"Was there?"
Tʜᴇʀᴇ ᴡɪʟʟ ʙᴇ, said Death, ɪғ I ᴄᴀɴ ғɪɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀᴍɴ ᴘʟᴀᴄᴇ. ~ Terry Pratchett
Mort quotes by Terry Pratchett
People tell me there are a lot of guys like me, which doesn't explain why I'm lonely. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
The sign above the door was written in French. It read: ARRÊTE ! C'EST ICI L'EMPIRE DE LA MORT.
"That means," he explained to Gini, "'Stop! It is here the Empire of Death. ~ Paul Aertker
Mort quotes by Paul Aertker
Mort remembered the woodcut in his grandmother's almanack, between the page on planting times and the phases of the moon section, showing Dethe thee Great Levyller Comes To Alle Menne. He'd stared at it hundreds of times when learning his letters. It wouldn't have been half so impressive if it had been generally known that the flame-breathing horse the specter rode was called Binky. ~ Terry Pratchett
Mort quotes by Terry Pratchett
You know me, I love lost causes. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
Women want their men to be cops. They want you to punish them and tell them what the limits are. The only thing that women hate worse from a man than being slapped is when you get on your knees and say you're sorry. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
Hey, one week, huh, Lex?" he said, tossing her a Cuff. "Here's your graduation gift."

"Sweet." she slid it onto her wrist. It felt cool, with a slight vibration to it. "Thanks."

"So, you feel all trained up? Driggs teach you everything he knows?"

"Yes. I'm now fully qualified to operate a can opener."

Driggs let out a sigh. "What a lovable scamp you've bestowed upon our fair town, Mort."

"My pleasure," he said to Driggs. ~ Gina Damico
Mort quotes by Gina Damico
To be frank, I thought you were going to marry the princess.'
Mort blushed. 'We talked about it,' he said. 'Then we thought, just because you happen to rescue a princess, you shouldn't rush into things.'
'Very wise. Too many young women leap into the arms of the first young man to wake them after a hundred years' sleep, for example. ~ Terry Pratchett
Mort quotes by Terry Pratchett
Research is what it's going to take to cure all these diseases. ~ Mort Kondracke
Mort quotes by Mort Kondracke
Practically every day, there is a story in the newspapers about a new breakthrough drug on Parkinson's. ~ Mort Kondracke
Mort quotes by Mort Kondracke
I'm a radical, and I always have been. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
The last time I saw Collin was in 1917, at the foot of Mort-Homme.

Before the great slaughter, Collin'd been an avid angler. On that day, he was standing at the hole, watching maggots swarm among blow flies on two boys that we couldn't retrieve for burial without putting our own lives at risk.

And there, at the loop hole, he thought of his bamboo rods, his flies and the new reel he hadn't even tried out yet.

Collin was imaging himself on the riverbank, wine cooling in the current his stash of worms in a little metal box and a maggot on his hook, writhing like… Holy shit. Were the corpses getting to him?

Collin. The poor guy didn't even have time to sort out his thoughts.

In that split second, he was turned into a slab of bloody meat. A white hot hook drilled right through him and churned through his guts, which spilled out of a hole in his belly.

He was cleared out of the first aid station. The major did triage. Stomach wounds weren't worth the trouble. There were all going to die anyway, and besides, he wasn't equipped to deal with them.

Behind the aid station, next to a pile of wood crosses, there was a heap of body parts and shapeless, oozing human debris laid out on stretchers, stirred only be passing rats and clusters of large white maggots.

But on their last run, the stretcher bearers carried him out after all… Old Collin was still alive.

From the aid station to the ambu ~ Jacques Tardi
Mort quotes by Jacques Tardi
So here's the drill. Every morning you'll come here to the Bank to check in with the Etceteras."

"Wait, what?"

"Etceteras. ETC stands for Ether Traffic Controllers, and the nickname just evolved from there."

"What does that make us, then?"

"Well, technically," said Uncle Mort, "we're called Gamma Removal and Immigration Managers - "

"But are more commonly known as Grims," Driggs said.

"Can't say I approve of the term." Uncle Mort flourished his razor-sharp scythe and smiled. "We're not that grim, are we?"

Lex snickered. ~ Gina Damico
Mort quotes by Gina Damico
It's beautiful," said Mort softly. "What is it?"
THE SUN IS UNDER THE DISC, said Death.
"Is it like this every night?"
EVERY NIGHT, said Death. NATURE'S LIKE THAT.
"Doesn't anyone know?"
ME. YOU. THE GODS. GOOD, ISN'T IT?
"Gosh!"
Death leaned over the saddle and looked down at the kingdoms of the world.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, he said, BUT I COULD MURDER A CURRY. ~ Terry Pratchett
Mort quotes by Terry Pratchett
If you can't join them, beat them. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
Uncle Mort glanced at Pandora, then back at the Juniors. "Okay, kids. Brace yourselves. And try not to yell too much."
Elysia's hand tensed on Lex's arm. "I hate it when he says that," she whispered.
Uncle Mort gave them a sympathetic smile. "Remember that old chestnut about the wickedest Grim of all time?"
He pounded on the roof. Grotton's head popped down through the ceiling, a snaky grin stretching from ear to ear.
The screams were so loud, Dora nearly drove into a tree ~ Gina Damico
Mort quotes by Gina Damico
If you were the only person left on the planet, I would have to attack you. That's my job. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
I'd only been in the business three or four years, but I told myself that someday I'd like to be Mort Janklow. ~ Larry Kirshbaum
Mort quotes by Larry Kirshbaum
Life is not for show, but for real. ~ Mort Kondracke
Mort quotes by Mort Kondracke
Paul Bowles said, "The sky hides the night behind it, and shelters the people beneath from the horror that lies above." Joseph ~ Mort Castle
Mort quotes by Mort Castle
Lex poked Elysia. "The relationship is going well, it seems."
Elysia's face erupted with worry. "Oh, Lex, I'm so sorry. It just sort of . . . happened. We were in that hotel for so many days, just waiting around to hear word from Croak, waiting for Mort to figure out a way to rescue you guys. And Wicket and Lazlo not letting us leave, we just went a little stir-crazy and - omigod, I must seem like such a bad friend, and all while you were still stuck in that awful jail and poor Driggs and - "
"Lys," Lex said, taking her by the shoulders before she could launch into a full-blown monsoon of tears. "It's fine. I think we've all learned a thing or two about taking happiness where you can get it. Plus . . . you know. It's about time."
"About time? What do you mean?"
"I mean you two have been itching to get into each other's pants since the dawn of earth."
Elysia looked shocked for a moment, then sighed. "I don't know what I'm thinking," she said, staring back and forth between her mostly uneaten sandwich and Ferbus. "He's gross. He's mean. He's ugly. He's a lousy drunk, he's the biggest nerd on the planet, he looks like a leprechaun, his hair is the color of Cheetos - "
"And you luuurve him."
Elysia scowled and crossed her arms. "And I lurve him. ~ Gina Damico
Mort quotes by Gina Damico
Abe was a lucky man. He told himself that every morning while he dressed and every night before he went to sleep. Abe wasn't religious but every day he thanked God for his beautiful wife, his four healthy sons, his brother and his business. Sometimes he left out his brother, but only when Mort was being a pain in the ass. ~ Lynda Cohen Loigman
Mort quotes by Lynda Cohen Loigman
Uncle Mort pounded on the ceiling of the basement.
"I sense affection!" he yelled. "Knock it off, you two!"
Scowling at the camera, Lex retreated to the other end of the couch while Driggs pulled his shirt back down and gave her a disappointed look.
"Next time Crash us to a hotel room, okay?" he grumbled. ~ Gina Damico
Mort quotes by Gina Damico
Death paused, his hand on the spine of the book. And why do you think I directed you to the stables? think carefully, now.

Mort hesitated, he has been thinking carefully, in between counting wheelbarrows. He'd wondered if it had been to coordinate his hand and eye, or to teach him the habit of obedience, or bring home the human scale, of small tasks, or make him realize that even great men must start at the bottom.
None of these explanations seemed exactly right.
I think ... he began.
YES?
Well. I think it was because you were up to your knees in horseshit, to tell you the truth.

Death looked at him for a very long time.Mort shifted uneasily from one foot to the other.
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, snapped Death.Clarity of thought. Realistic approach. Very important in a job like ours. ~ Terry Pratchett
Mort quotes by Terry Pratchett
We were just showering," Lex muttered.
"Of course," Uncle Mort said. "Everyone knows how impossible it is to zestfully clean without assistance. ~ Gina Damico
Mort quotes by Gina Damico
I never met a man I didn't like until I met Will Rogers. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
YOU TRIED TO WARN HIM, he said, removing Binky's nose-bag.

"Yes, sir. Sorry."

YOU CANNOT INTERFERE WITH FATE. WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE WHO SHOULD LIVE AND WHO SHOULD DIE?

Death watched Mort's expression carefully.

ONLY THE GODS ARE ALLOWED TO DO THAT, he added. TO TINKER WITH THE FATE OF EVEN ONE INDIVIDUAL COULD DESTROY THE WHOLE WORLD. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

Mort nodded miserably.

"Are you going to send me home?" he said.

Death reached down and swung him up behind the saddle.

BECAUSE YOU SHOWED COMPASSION? NO. I MIGHT HAVE DONE IF YOU HAD SHOWN PLEASURE. BUT YOU MUST LEARN THE COMPASSION PROPER TO YOUR TRADE.

"What's that?"

A SHARP EDGE. ~ Terry Pratchett
Mort quotes by Terry Pratchett
Mark Twain made black people look like buffoons," [says Michael].
Mort doesn't look up. He doesn't know what we're talking about, but that doesn't stop him from joining the conversation. "Michael," says Mort, "Mark Twain made everybody look like buffoons. He was an equal opportunity buffoon maker. ~ Paul Acampora
Mort quotes by Paul Acampora
The problem with living forever, of course, is you have to live forever before you know you're immortal ... or invincible. Even the gods, in this way, must always remain uncertain. Time trumps immortality just as uncertainty trumps omniscience, for a knower can only ever know what it knows, never what it doesn't.
(attrib: F.L. Vanderson) ~ Mort W. Lumsden
Mort quotes by Mort W. Lumsden
Nixon's the kind of guy that if you were drowning fifty feet off shore, he'd throw you a thirty foot rope. Then Kissinger would go on TV the next night and say that the President had met you more than half-way. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
The shock of orgasm pulls you under the wave you never saw coming. It wrestles you to the point of exhaustion and allows you to breathe only when you've died la petite mort. When you've given all and received everything in return. ~ Megan Mitcham
Mort quotes by Megan Mitcham
Television is never more false than when it's openly sincere. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
I say, if you believe what you read in the comic strips, then you believe that mice run around with little gold buttons on their red pants and drive cars. ~ Mort Walker
Mort quotes by Mort Walker
And speaking of Terms, we need to set a few ground rules here with ... this," he said, clearing his throat and gesturing at the two of them.
"With what?" Lex said.
"That," Uncle Mort replied, pointing to a suspicious-looking mark on her neck.
Lex's hand flew to her throat while Driggs shifted, uneasy.
"Why?" he asked.
"Don't 'why?' me, Romeo. You know I trust you, but Lex is still my niece. In the absence of her father, it's up to me to do everything in my power to complicate and interfere with her budding love life."
Lex frowned. "Hey- ~ Gina Damico
Mort quotes by Gina Damico
Those who the gods would make rich and famous on TV, they first drive mad. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
And there are lots of drug companies that are working on cure or medicine. ~ Mort Kondracke
Mort quotes by Mort Kondracke
It is not true that nice guys finish last. Nice guys are winners before the game even starts. ~ Mort Walker
Mort quotes by Mort Walker
A Yuppie is someone who believes it's courageous to eat in a restaurant that hasn't been reviewed yet. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
Massoud is dead, but not the hope ! (Massoud est mort, - Mais pas l'espoir !) ~ Charles De Leusse
Mort quotes by Charles De Leusse
Any good parody takes a grain of truth and exaggerates it for the big screen. People ask me if I'm offended at all and I say not in the least. ~ Mort Crim
Mort quotes by Mort Crim
I took benzedrine - I got clairvoyance. With benzedrine you can have a very wide view of the world, like you can decide the destiny of man and other pressing problems, such as which is the left sock? ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
How do you get all those coins? asked Mort.
IN PAIRS. ~ Terry Pratchett
Mort quotes by Terry Pratchett
Hey," He croaked. "You. Arrogant bitch ghost."
"I'm not really into this whole hero thing," Mort said. "Don't have the temperament for it. Don't know a lot about the villain side of the equation, either." He planted his feet,facing the Corpsetaker squarely, his hands clenched into fist at his side.
"But it seems to me, you half-wit, that you probably shouldn't have left a freaking ectomancer a pit full of wraiths to play with. ~ Jim Butcher
Mort quotes by Jim Butcher
You haven't lived until you've died in California ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
But in the book," I say, "the mockingbird is supposed to be a symbol of innocence. That's why it's a sin to kill one."
"Who says it's a symbol of innocence?" asks Mort.
"Teachers," I tell him. "Book reviewers, critics --"
"Wikipedia," Elena calls from behind the window display. ~ Paul Acampora
Mort quotes by Paul Acampora
I was kicked out of The Stars And Stripes twice, and finally got back in. ~ Mort Walker
Mort quotes by Mort Walker
Seven days without laughter makes one weak. ~ Mort Walker
Mort quotes by Mort Walker
like god's stray eyelashes
the stars are falling - more light! more!
god has no time to make a wish
all he can do is cry out faster! faster! ~ Valzhyna Mort
Mort quotes by Valzhyna Mort
Liberals feel unworthy of their possessions. Conservatives feel they deserve everything they've stolen. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
How much blood makes a 'bloodbath'? ~ Mort Kondracke
Mort quotes by Mort Kondracke
The fact is that you can't have a good relationship with a girl who hasn't settled things with her father. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
New book on Malcolm X says we don't know how he was killed. Want to bring in the FBI. Maybe they were in already. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
Will Rogers ... used to come out with a newspaper and pretend he was a
yokel criticizing the intellectuals who ran the government. I come out with
a newspaper and pretend I'm an intellectual making fun of the yokels
running the government. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
The beat generation is a coffeehouse full of people expectantly looking at their watches waiting for the beat generation to come on. *1958 ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
Ward Churchill might be more valuable to the opponents of the academic left employed than unemployed. Above all, he can serve as a living window into the intellectual, moral, and political bankruptcy of the left. ~ Mort Kondracke
Mort quotes by Mort Kondracke
Anything you try to quantify can be divided into any number of "anythings," or become the thing - the unit - itself. And what is any number, itself, but just another unit of measurement? What is a 'six' but two 'threes', or three 'twos' ... half a 'twelve', or just six 'ones' - which are what?
(attrib: F.L. Vanderson) ~ Mort W. Lumsden
Mort quotes by Mort W. Lumsden
Everything I tell you is true, but this is factual. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
I found people looked better when they laughed ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
Mort(e) is wonderful and weird, never saccharine and always startling. ~ Cat Rambo
Mort quotes by Cat Rambo
Poets have tried to describe Ankh-Morpork. They have failed. Perhaps it's the sheer zestful vitality of the place, or maybe it's just that a city with a million inhabitants and no sewers is rather robust for poets, who prefer daffodils and no wonder. So let's just say that Ankh-Morpork is as full of life as an old cheese on a hot day, as loud as a curse in a cathedral, as bright as an oil slick, as colourful as a bruise and as full of activity, industry, bustle and sheer exuberant busyness as a dead dog on a termite mound. ~ Terry Pratchett
Mort quotes by Terry Pratchett
You don't know about that what you talk about," he added, with more feeling than grammar, "else you wouldn't say that. What do you want from me?" Mort ~ Terry Pratchett
Mort quotes by Terry Pratchett
But Mort caught me before I even left the house and insisted on taking me himself, figuring that I would probably go and investigate on my own no matter how many times he stopped me."
"Little Driggs sounds a lot like me," Said Lex.
"Please don't besmirch his memory. ~ Gina Damico
Mort quotes by Gina Damico
Albert grunted. "Do you know what happens to lads who ask too many questions?"
Mort thought for a moment.
"No," he said eventually, "what?"
There was silence.
Then Albert straightened up and said, "Damned if I know. Probably they get answers, and serve 'em right. ~ Terry Pratchett
Mort quotes by Terry Pratchett
Swan dive down eleven stories high
Hold your breath until you see the light
You can sink to the bottom of the sea
Just don't go without me ~ The Civil Wars
Mort quotes by The Civil Wars
I went to computer class with my Dell and I was bullied by a guy with a Mac. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
It struck Mort with sudden, terrible poignancy that Death must be the loneliest creature in the universe. In the great party of Creation, he was always in the kitchen. ~ Terry Pratchett
Mort quotes by Terry Pratchett
The people who were against the Vietnam War thought I was attacking the Army. The guys in the Army thought I was representing their experiences. I was on both sides, and I survived. ~ Mort Walker
Mort quotes by Mort Walker
I watched Ken Burns' Civil War series on PBS. My favorite segment is when Bob Hope entertains the troops at Gettysburg. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
I'm a very ordinary man who's worked and fed like everyone else. I'm no longer afraid of dying, but death doesn't seem to want anything to do with me, now that I can see no point in living. I'm afraid he's forgotten me. ~ Emile Zola
Mort quotes by Emile Zola
..... he had ridden right through the gates of the palace. Of course, people rode through
the gates of the palace every day, but most of them needed the things to be opened first.
The guards on the other side were rigid with fear, because they thought they had seen a ghost.
They would have been far more frightened if they had known that a ghost was almost exactly
what they hadn't seen.
The guard outside the doors of the great hall had seen it happen too, but he had time to gather his
wits, or such that remained, and raise his spear as Binky trotted across the courtyard.
'Halt,' he croaked. 'Halt. What goes where?'
Mort saw him for the first time.
'What?' he said, still lost in thought.
The guard ran his tongue over his dry lips, and backed away. Mort slid off Binky's back and
walked forward.
'I meant, what goes there?' the guard tried again, with a mixture of doggedness and suicidal
stupidity that marked him for early promotion.
Mort caught the spear gently and lifted it out of the way of the door. As he did so the torchlight
illuminated his face.
'Mort,' he said softly.
It should have been enough for any normal soldier, but this guard was officer material.
'I mean, friend or foe?' he stuttered, trying to avoid Mort's gaze.
'Which would you prefer?' he grinned. It wasn't quite the grin of his master, but it was a pretty
effective grin and didn't have a trace of humour in it.
Terry Pratchett
Mort quotes by Terry Pratchett
In other languages,
you are beautiful- mort, muerto- I wish
I spoke moon, I wish the bottom of the ocean
were sitting in that chair playing cards
and noticing how famous you are
on my cell phone- picture of your eyes
guarding your nose and the fire
you set by walking, picture of dawn
getting up early to enthrall your skin- what I hate
about stars is they're not those candles
that make a joke of cake, that you blow on
and they die and come back, and you
you're not those candles either, how often I realize
I'm not breathing, to be like you
or just afraid to move at all, a lung
or finger, is it time already
for inventory, a mountain, I have three
of those, a bag of hair, box of ashes, if you
were a cigarette I'd be cancer, if you
were a leaf, you were a leaf, every leaf, as far
as this tree can say. ~ Bob Hicok
Mort quotes by Bob Hicok
Mort chuckled when she staggered through the tomb door. "Witch Slayer, are you? Another lovely title to add to your repertoire. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Mort quotes by Sarah J. Maas
Lex was about to ask what in the dickens that was supposed to mean, but then Uncle Mort nodded at Wicket in a secretive manner, which roughly translated as 'Screw you and your curiosities, Lex. We're telling you NOTHING. ~ Gina Damico
Mort quotes by Gina Damico
They're always telling folk how much better it's going to be when they're dead. We tell them it could be pretty good right here if only they'd put their minds to it.' Mort ~ Terry Pratchett
Mort quotes by Terry Pratchett
Everything I know, I write about. My only research is what I did. ~ Mort Walker
Mort quotes by Mort Walker
Most people past college age are not atheists. It's too hard to be in society, for one thing. Because you don't get any days off. And if you're an agnostic you don't know whether you get them off or not. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
Now, what tends to happen is that the stories get hyped. And the medicines are not quite as revolutionary and as dramatic as they seem to be. But, certainly, various phases of this problem are being attacked by the pharmaceutical companies. ~ Mort Kondracke
Mort quotes by Mort Kondracke
At NIH, what tends to happen is that the proven researchers tend to get the money. New researchers, younger researchers, or people on the cutting edge don't get the money until they have gray beards. ~ Mort Kondracke
Mort quotes by Mort Kondracke
This matter of two sides to every question is bad logic and bad practice: sometimes there are no sides; sometimes there are a hundred. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
A conservative doesn't want anything to happen for the first time; a liberal feels it should happen, but not now. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
La petite mort - that's what the French called orgasm. They believed that semen is sort of concentrated blood so that each time a man came he shortened his life a little by spilling blood that couldn't be replenished."
"And women?"
"Then, as now, men didn't much concern themselves with how women felt. ~ Michael Nava
Mort quotes by Michael Nava
Some sexual theorists have argued that the perceptual link between orgasm and death is traceable to the elevated state in which orgasm in a rare few cases is accompanied by a loss of consciousness. Another explanation for the petit mort idea is inherent in a rare but persistent folk belief, of uncertain origin but found in cultures from Europe to the Far East, that a person is born with a certain number of orgasms in him or her, and that when the last is used, the person died. ~ Jonathan Margolis
Mort quotes by Jonathan Margolis
Mort looked down at the roof of a forest, dusted with snow that was either early or very, very late; it could have been either, because the Ramtops hoarded their weather and doled it out with no real reference to the time of year."

Excerpt From: Terry Pratchett. "Discworld 04: Mort." iBooks. ~ Terry Pratchett
Mort quotes by Terry Pratchett
i'm

Mort quotes by Valzhyna Mort
Mort isn't my name, of course - I was creative director of mortality, and Dr. Jeth had us all go by titles. ~ Tom Francis
Mort quotes by Tom Francis
I

On the calm black water where the stars are sleeping
White Ophelia floats like a great lily;
Floats very slowly, lying in her long veils...
- In the far-off woods you can hear them sound the mort.

For more than a thousand years sad Ophelia
Has passed, a white phantom, down the long black river.
For more than a thousand years her sweet madness
Has murmured its ballad to the evening breeze.

The wind kisses her breasts and unfolds in a wreath
Her great veils rising and falling with the waters;
The shivering willows weep on her shoulder,
The rushes lean over her wide, dreaming brow.

The ruffled water-lilies are sighing around her;
At times she rouses, in a slumbering alder,
Some nest from which escapes a small rustle of wings;
- A mysterious anthem falls from the golden stars.

II

O pale Ophelia! beautiful as snow!
Yes child, you died, carried off by a river!
- It was the winds descending from the great mountains of Norway
That spoke to you in low voices of better freedom.

It was a breath of wind, that, twisting your great hair,
Brought strange rumors to your dreaming mind;
It was your heart listening to the song of Nature
In the groans of the tree and the sighs of the nights;

It was the voice of mad seas, the great roar,
That shattered your child's heart, too human and too soft;
It was a hands ~ Arthur Rimbaud
Mort quotes by Arthur Rimbaud
We would have broken up except for the children. Who were the children? Well, she and I were. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
They don't go in for the fancy or exotic, but stick to conventional food like flightless bird embryos, minced organs in intestine skins, slices of hog flesh and burnt ground grass seeds dipped in animal fats; or, as it is known in their patois, egg, sausage, bacon and a fried slice of toast. ~ Terry Pratchett
Mort quotes by Terry Pratchett
You know what I want you to do? I want you to blow out the candle and curse the darkness. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
Mort Meskin was a consummate professional, dedicated to his work. A great talent. ~ Jack Kirby
Mort quotes by Jack Kirby
There are Russian spies here now. And if we're lucky, they'll steal some of our secrets and they'll be two years behind. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
I'm not taking that, Mort said, and part of him was marvelling at what a really accommodating beast a man was: when someone held something out to you, your first instinct was to take it. No matter if it was a check for a thousand dollars or a stick of dynamite with a lit and fizzing fuse, your first instinct was to take it. ~ Stephen King
Mort quotes by Stephen King
Now that Obama is at war in a 3rd country, does that mean he has to give back his Nobel Peace Prize? ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
I used to go to two movies every week for the Saturday matinee when I was a kid. ~ Mort Sahl
Mort quotes by Mort Sahl
Life is like a game of chess ... there are many moves possible, but each move determines your next move ... where you wind up is the sum total of all your past moves ... but first you have to make some kind of move. ~ Mort Walker
Mort quotes by Mort Walker
L'ide e qu'on mourra est plus cruelle que mourir, mais moins que l'ide e qu'un autre est mort. The idea of dying is worse than dying itself, but less cruel than the idea that another has died. ~ Marcel Proust
Mort quotes by Marcel Proust
The memory of the dead is indeed a good remorse. (Le souvenir des morts - Est bien un bon remords) ~ Charles De Leusse
Mort quotes by Charles De Leusse
