More From Nhat Hanh

I am crying, he thought, opening his eyes to stare through the soapy, stinging water. i feel like crying, so i must be crying, but it's impossible to tell because i'm underwater. but he wasn't crying. curiously, he felt too depressed to cry. too hurt. it felt as if she'd taken the part of him that cried.
Hurt Real Taken
There is a kind of crying i hope you have not experienced, and it is not just crying about something terrible that has happened, but a crying for all of the terrible things that have happened, not just to you but to everyone you know and to everyone you don’t know and even the people you don’t want to know, a crying that cannot be diluted by a brave deed or a kind word, but only by someone holding you as your shoulders shake and your tears run down your face.
Running People Brave
Earth walks on earth, glittering in gold; earth goes to earth, sooner than it wold; earth builds on earth, palaces and towers; earth says to earth, soon, all shall be ours.

Talk—half-talk, phrases that had no need to be finished, abstractions, chinese bells played on with cotton-tipped sticks, mock orange blossoms painted on porcelain. the muffled, close, half-talk of soft-fleshed women. the men she had embraced, and the women, all washing against the resonance of my memory. sound within sound, scene within scene, woman within woman—like acid revealing an invisible script. one woman within another eternally, in a far-reaching procession, shattering my mind into fragments, into quarter tones which no orchestral baton can ever make whole again.

I think right now is when we need to hear different voices coming out of all parts of the world. you can't just hear the politicians and the military leaders. you have to hear from the taxi drivers. you have to hear from the painters. you have to hear from the poets. you have to hear from the school teachers and the filmmakers and musicians.

I need a good book i need a good story. i need a good book. the kind that explodes off the shelf. i need some good writing, alive and exciting, to contemplate all by myself. i need a good novel, i need a good read. i probably need two or three. i need a good tale of love and betrayal or perhaps an adventure at sea. i need a good saga. i need a good yarn. a momentous and mightily or slight one. but with thousands and thousands and thousands of books, i need someone to tell me the right one. -john lithgow

Similar Quotes
Then no rightful cause was left, and the pain of anger was turning into the shameful pain of submission. he had no right to condemn anyone - he thought - to denounce anything, to fight and die joyously, claiming the sanctity of virtue. the broken promises, the unconfessed desires, the betrayal, the deceit, the lies, the fraud - he was guilty of them all. what form of corruption could he scorn? degrees do not matter, he thought; one does not bargain about inches of evil.
Betrayal Pain Lying
Evil working in subtler fashion; marriages that proved to be no more then legalized slavery, and the careful manipulation of a bright and sensitive mind until its owner truly believed with all her heart in her own worthlessness. betrayal, not once, but many times over.
Fashion Betrayal Heart
My first language, the true language of the soul spoken only on our planet of origin, had no word for betrayal or traitor. or even loyalty- because without the opposite, the concept had no meaning.
Loyalty Betrayal Opposites
