Envelopes Quotes - Page 6

• [Amy Ray and I] both have this part of our brain that makes us think that everybody should and will be nice and friendly and forthcoming. And then we're completely disillusioned. We have all these grand plans. One of them is the Rolling Thunder Pussy Revue. There's all these women's festivals going on this summer, and we don't think they're as adventurous as they could be. Lilith Fair-right away, by the name, you know they aren't pushing the envelope hard enough.

• It is when we try to grapple with another man's intimate need that we perceive how incomprehensible, wavering and misty are the beings that share with us the sight of the stars and the warmth of the sun. It is as if loneliness were a hard and absolute condition of existence; the envelope of flesh and blood on which our eyes are fixed melts before the outstretched hand, and there remains only the capricious, unconsolable and elusive spirit that no eye can follow, no hand can grasp.

• Alongside my "no email" policy, I resolve to make better use of the wonderful Royal Mail, and send letters and postcards to people. There is a huge pleasure in writing a letter, putting it in an envelope and sticking the stamp on it. And huge pleasure in receiving real letters, too.

• I don't want the words to be naked the way they are in faxes or in the computer. I want them to be covered by an envelope that you have to rip open in order to get at. I want there to be a waiting time -a pause between the writing and the reading. I want us to be careful about what we say to each other. I want the miles between us to be real and long. This will be our law -that we write our dailiness and our suffering very, very carefully.

  Siri Hustvedt

• If you, through poor judgment, were to cover your shoes with mud, would you leave them that way? Of course not. You would cleanse and restore them. Would you then gather the residue of mud and place it in an envelope to show others the mistake that you made? No. Neither should you continue to relive forgiven sin. Every time such thoughts come into your mind, turn your heart in gratitude to the Savior, who gave His life that we, through faith in Him and obedience to His teachings, can overcome transgression and conquer its depressing influence in our lives.

  Richard G. Scott

• Magnates anónimos de la industria del entretenimiento declaran ahora al New York Times que tienen la intención de no volver a trabajar con Mel Gibson. Después de todo, ¿cómo se atreve Mel Gibson a desafiar al público produciendo una película que estimula el debate público, que empuja los límites, que lleva una vieja historia a un nuevo nivel? ¿Cómo se atreve Mel Gibson a seguir su propia pasión como cineasta? ¿Cómo se atreve a ganar 20 millones de dólares en la taquilla del día de estreno?

• Pero no la enmarqué; la metí en un sobre, la sellé y la metí bien atrás, en un cajón esquinero de un archivador. Ahí está, por si un día de estos empiezo a perderla. Puede que haya una mañana en la que me despierte y su cara no sea lo primero que vea. O una perezosa tarde de agosto en la que ya no recuerde dónde estaban las pecas de sus hombros derechos. Tal vez un día de estos no pueda escuchar el sonido de la nieve al caer y oír sus pasos.
