I love death because he breaks the human pattern and frees us from pleasures too prolonged as well as from the pains of this world. it is pleasant, too, to remember that death lies in our hands; he must come if we call him. ... i think if there were no death, life would be more than flesh and blood could bear.

Pain Lying Thinking

More From Stevie Smith

There were lots of lies along the way in life. lies without arms, lies that were ill, lies that did harm, lies that could kill. lies on foot, or behind the wheel, black-tie lies, and lies that could steal.

Against my will i am sent to bid you come in to dinner. benedick fair beatrice, i thank you for your pains. beatrice i took no more pains for those thanks than you take pains to thank me: if it had been painful, i would not have come. benedick you take pleasure then in the message? beatrice yea, just so much as you may take upon a knife's point ... you have no stomach, signior: fare you well. exit benedick ha! 'against my will i am sent to bid you come in to dinner;' there's a double meaning in that... (much ado about nothing)

I believe in islam. i am a muslim and there is nothing wrong with being a muslim, nothing wrong with the religion of islam. it just teaches us to believe in allah as the god. those of you who are christian probably believe in the same god, because i think you believe in the god who created the universe. that's the one we believe in, the one who created universe - the only difference being you call him god and we call him allah. the jews call him jehovah. if you could understand hebrew, you would probably call him jehovah too. if you could understand arabic, you would probably call him allah.

Obama has some manacles, and that might limit him. however, he's the first american president to raise $600 million for his campaign. that frees him from lobbyists; it frees him from special interests, and it could free him from those who would manipulate him. if he is going to solve the problem, he has to be free enough to solve the problem between the israelis and the palestinians.

The struggle between god and man breaks out in everyone, together with the longing for reconciliation. most often this struggle is unconscious and short-lived. a weak soul does not have the endurance to resist the flesh for very long. it grows heavy, becomes flesh itself, and the contest ends. but among responsible men, men who keep their eyes riveted day and night upon the supreme duty, the conflict between flesh and spirit breaks out mercilessly and may last until death.

He couldn't bear to live, but he couldn't bear to die. he couldn't bear the thought of he making love to someone else, but neither could he bear the absence of the thought. and as for the note, he couldn't bear to keep it, but he couldn't bear to destroy it either.

Similar Quotes

Tonight, we will both discover, how friends turn into lovers, when i make love to you.

When they said "make love, not war" at woodstock, they never imagined that one would become as dangerous as the other.

One day you and i will have to have a little talk about this business called love. i still don't understand what it's all about. my guess is that it's just a gigantic hoax, invented to keep people quiet and diverted. everyone talks about love: the priests, the advertising posters, the literati, and the politicians, those of them who make love. and in speaking of love and offering it as a panacea for every tragedy, they would and betray and kill both body and soul.

Love is not a matter of getting what you want. quite the contrary. the insistence on always having what you want, on always being satisfied, on always being fulfilled, makes love impossible.
