Famous quotes containing the words songs, written, barry, mann and/or weil:

    “O past! O happy life! O songs of joy!
    In the air, in the woods, over fields,
    Loved! loved! loved! loved! loved!
    But my mate no more, no more with me!
    We two together no more.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “Now that you’ve written it
    In novels and a few verses,
    Will the pimps and harlots say
    That Destiny’s a wit?”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Let’s face it, we became ingrown, clannish, and retarded. Cut off from the mainstream of humanity, we came to believe that pink is “flesh-color”, that mayonnaise is a nutrient, and that Barry Manilow is a musician.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    “Frau Stöhr ... began to talk about how fascinating it was to cough.... Sneezing was much the same thing. You kept on wanting to sneeze until you simply couldn’t stand it any longer; you looked as if you were tipsy; you drew a couple of breaths, then out it came, and you forgot everything else in the bliss of the sensation. Sometimes the explosion repeated itself two or three times. That was the sort of pleasure life gave you free of charge.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “Evil is neither suffering nor sin; it is both at the same time, it is something common to them both. For they are linked together; sin makes us suffer and suffering makes us evil, and this indissoluble complex of suffering and sin is the evil in which we are submerged against our will, and to our horror.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)
