Quotes of 1989

Quotes taken from the authors in 1989

Labor is work that leaves no trace behind it when it is finished, or if it does, as in the case of the tilled field, this product of human activity requires still more labor, incessant, tireless labor, to maintain its identity as a 'work' of man.

Mary McCarthy

Life for the European is a career; for the American it is a hazard.

Mary McCarthy

Every word she writes is a lie, including and and the.

Mary McCarthy

You musn't force sex to do the work of love or love to do the work of sex.

Mary McCarthy

Liberty, as it is conceived by current opinion, has nothing inherent about it; it is a sort of gift or trust bestowed on the individual by the state pending good behavior.

Mary McCarthy

If the end does not justify the means - what can?

Edward abbey

Belief in the supernatural reflects a failure of the imagination.

Edward abbey

You can't study the darkness by flooding it with light.

Edward abbey

Our culture runs on coffee and gasoline, the first often tasting like the second.

Edward abbey

Our 'neoconservatives' are neither new nor conservative, but old as Bablyon and evil as Hell.

Edward abbey

Whatever sport you choose, do it because you love it, and don't expect to be an expert first thing. It takes time to do well at anything, but if you love it, you'll stick with it.

Ryan Sheckler

No one can tell me what to do on my skateboard. My skateboard is my safe spot. I can learn tricks, I can have fun, I can do whatever I want on my skateboard.

Ryan Sheckler

The way I look at tricks is if I really have my mind set on one, I'm going to learn it until I can do it 10 or 20 times in a row. I want to perfect it.

Ryan Sheckler

I'm living with every step. I can't live with regret. The past is the past. I'm not worried about it. I can't change it. I can't fix it. It is what it is. I'm just living.

Ryan Sheckler

When I was 5 years old, hanging out with my friends who were all older than me, like 8 or 9, I was joking around like, 'Yeah, when I'm 20 that's a perfect age to go pro.' That's what I had in my head. Then I turn pro at 13. It's all been a mystery and its all been awesome.

Ryan Sheckler

I don't think you can talk about progress in art - movement, but not progress. You can speak of a point on a line for the purpose of locating things, but it's a horizontal line, not a vertical one.

Donald Barthelme

My mother studied English and drama at the University of Pennsylvania, where my father studied architecture. She was a great influence in all sorts of ways, a wicked wit.

Donald Barthelme

Painters, especially American painters since the Second World War, have been much more troubled, beset by formal perplexity, than American writers. They've been a laboratory for everybody.

Donald Barthelme

There's not a strong autobiographical strain in my fiction. A few bits of fact here and there.

Donald Barthelme

I used to be so aggressive, but after a while I started learning. It's not that I know how to adapt, but I know all styles of fighting so I can change my style of fighting to whatever it needs to be. That just comes from years of training and a lot of sparring partners.
