Between the lines
Mostly the media of books, recommendations, what I'm reading at the moment and many funny, moving or witty quotes.
Also the one or another film I like.
Hope you enjoy.

Quote reblogged from Jade MadolynMan is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself.

Sometimes I blush out of pure anger and I want to snarl at the people who stare but if I did I’d be fired on the spot.
They shouldn’t stare. The should know better the way their mothers and fathers are spending fortunes to make them educated and what’s the use of all that education if you’re so ignorant you stare at people just off the boat with red eyes?

Quote reblogged from fatcat, little coyoteIt is painful to know, that we are operated upon by objects whose impressions are variable as they are indefinable—and that what yesterday affected us strongly, is to-day but imperfectly felt, and to-morrow perhaps shall be disregarded.Ann Radcliffe, A Sicilian Romance (via fatcat-littlecoyote)
