January

01-01 → You want the moon? Just say the word, and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey, that's a pretty good idea. I'll give you the moon.
01-02 → The rule
Of the many is not well. One must be chief
In war and one the king.
01-03 → Authority intoxicates,
And makes mere sots of magistrates;
The fumes of it invade the brain,
And make men giddy, proud, and vain.

01-09 → And after you shot him, how did you feel then? – Hungry.

Lives not to please himself, but other men;
Is always drudging, wastes his life and blood,
Yet only eats and drinks what you think good.

("Does it seem wonderful because it was done so long ago?")
01-12 → Mundus vult decipi

01-14 → Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff.
01-15 → I will always believe in punk-rock, because it's about creating something for yourself.

01-21 → Aaaaawl-right-y-then.

Become more rare as dissipation spreads,
Till authors hear at length one general cry

01-26 → I'll live to see you — all of ya — hanging from the highest yardarm in the British fleet!
01-27 → Shut, shut the door, good John! fatigued I said,
Tie up the knocker, say I'm sick, I'm dead.
The Dog-star rages! nay, 't is past a doubt,
All Bedlam, or Parnassus, is let out:
Fire in each eye, and papers in each hand,
They rave, recite, and madden round the land.
01-28 → What's The Charge for being Thrown out of a Window?
01-29 → Lest men suspect your tale untrue
Keep probability in view.
The traveller leaping o'er those bounds,
The credit of his book confounds.
01-30 → I'm walkin' here! I'm walkin' here!
01-31 → Immodest words admit of no defence.
For want of decency is want of sense.
But foul descriptions are offensive still,
Either for being like or being ill.

April

May

05-01 → I never dreamed that any mere physical experience could be so stimulating.
05-02 → Wheel the wild dance,
While lightnings glance,
And thunders rattle loud;
And call the brave
To bloody grave,
To sleep without a shroud.
05-03 → Non canimus surdis, respondent omnia silvae
("We sing not to the deaf; the trees echo every word")
05-04 → Turn to the ri-i-ght.
05-05 → He made me mad
To see him shine so brisk, and smell so sweet,
And talk so like a waiting gentlewoman,
And that it was great pity, so it was,
That villanous saltpetre should be digged
Out of the bowels of the harmless earth,
Which many a good tall fellow had destroyed.
05-06 → Don’t regress to primal behavior just because it’s allowed – we’re human beings, not the editors of Teen Vogue!
05-07 → There is only one way to learn. It's through action.
05-08 → Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.
05-09 → When Greeks joined Greeks, then was the tug of war.
05-10 → The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always discover forgiveness.

05-15 → He's got a real purty mouth, ain't he?
05-16 → By Heaven! It is a splendid sight to see
(For one who hath no friend, no brother there)
Their rival scarfs of mixed embroidery.
Their various arms that glitter in the air!
What gallant war-hounds rouse them from their lair,
And gnash their fangs, loud yelling for the prey!
All join the chase, but few the triumph share;
The grave shall bear the chiefest prize away,
And havoc scarce for joy can number their array.
05-17 → Non hos quaesitum munus in usus
("A gift sought for no such purpose")
05-18 → On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair...
05-19 → Has your name become known and desired?
05-20 → Someday, somewhere, today’s empires are tomorrow’s ashes.
05-21 → Milking a dried udder gets you nothing but kicked off the milking stool!
05-22 → — You're English?
— When it suits me.
05-23 → Tous les jours à tous points de vue je vais de mieux en mieux.
"Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better."
05-24 → Inebriate of air am I,
And debauchee of dew,
Reeling, through endless summer days,
From inns of molten blue.
05-25 → I've wrestled with reality for thirty-five years, and I'm happy, Doctor, I finally won out over it.
05-26 → From the glittering staff unfurled
Th' imperial ensign, which, full high advanced,
Shone like a meteor, streaming to the wind,
With gems and golden lustre rich imblazed,
Seraphic arms and trophies; all the while
Sonorous metal blowing martial sounds:
At which the universal host upsent
A shout that tore hell's concave, and beyond
Frighted the reign of Chaos and old Night.
05-27 → Non numerantur, sed ponderantur
("They are not counted, but weighed")
05-28 → — "Steady boy. Just keep telling yourself you're a girl."
— "I'm a girl...I'm a girl...I'm a girl."
05-29 → That voice … heard so oft
In worst extremes, and on the perilous edge
Of battle when it raged.
