"The surgery was as dingy as the passage outside, with the same sticky-looking, brown wainscoting. The carpet was red, blue, and green, the wallpaper dusty yellow. The chair faced the windows, the lower halves of which were boarded over, and the crooked shape of the drill hung high up by a cluster of frosted-glass lights" 13 hours, 6 min ago

For shopping, for balling, for working or anything else, give me London. To me, it’s the greatest.

J.L. Carr
“If I’d stayed there, would I always have been happy? No, I suppose not. People move away, grow older, die, and the bright belief that there will be another marvelous thing around each corner fades. It is now or never; we must snatch at happiness as it flies.”
J.L. Carr, A Month in the Country

Patrick Hamilton
“Too much thought is bad for the soul, for art, and for crime. It is also a sign of middle age.”
Patrick Hamilton

Immanuel Kant
“He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.”
Emmanuel Kant

Emma Goldman
“If I can't dance to it, it's not my revolution.”
Emma Goldman

Albert Camus
“The first time that this tribulation appeared in history, it was to strike down the enemies of God. Pharaoh opposed the designs of the Eternal and the plague brought him to his knees. Since the beginning of history, the scourge of God has brought down the proud and the blind beneath His feet. Think on this and fall to your knees.”
Albert Camus, The Plague
