Certainty always produces que...

Certainty always produces questions, uncertainty statements. It is a balancing law of nature.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

There is always more surface ...

There is always more surface to a shattered object than a whole.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

None of us suffers as much as...

None of us suffers as much as we should, or loves as much as we say. Love is the first lie; wisdom the last.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

Suffering for love is how I h...

Suffering for love is how I have learned practically everything I know, love of grandmother up and on.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

There's something evil in me ...

There's something evil in me that loves evil and degradation--purity's black backside! That loves honesty with a horrid love; or why have I always gone seeking it at the liar's door?

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

A man is whole only when he t...

A man is whole only when he takes into account his shadow.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

Love becomes the deposit of t...

Love becomes the deposit of the heart, analogous in all degrees to the 'findings' in a tomb. As in one will be charted the taken place of the body, the raiment, the utensils necessary to its other life, so in the heart of the lover will be traced, as an indelible shadow, that which he loves.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

My war brought me many things...

My war brought me many things; let yours bring you as much. Life is not to be told, call it as loud as you like, it will not tell itself. No one will be much or little except in someone else's mind, so be careful of the minds you get into, and remember Lady Macbeth, who had her mind in her hand. We can't all be as safe as that.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

“God,” she cried, “what is lo...

“God,” she cried, “what is love? Man seeking his own head? The human head, so rented by misery that even the teeth weigh! She couldn't tell me the truth because she had never planned it; her life was a continual accident, and how can you be prepared for that? Everything we can't bear in this world, some day we find in one person, and love it all at once.”

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

One cup poured into another m...

One cup poured into another makes different waters; tears shed by one eye would blind if wept into another's eye. The breast we strike in joy is not the breast we strike in pain; any man's smile would be consternation on another's mouth.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

Our bones ache only while the...

Our bones ache only while the flesh is on them.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

I couldn't ever boil potatoes...

I couldn't ever boil potatoes over the heat of your affection. Your love would never bridge a gap; it wouldn't even fill up the hole that the mice came through.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

For most people, life is nast...

For most people, life is nasty, brutish, and short; for me, it has simply been nasty and brutish.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

A man's sorrow runs uphill; t...

A man's sorrow runs uphill; true it is difficult for him to bear, but it is also difficult for him to keep.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

If Helen of Troy could have b...

If Helen of Troy could have been seen eating peppermints out of a paper bag, it is highly probable that her admirers would have been an entirely different class.It is the thing you are found doing while the horde looks on that you shall be loved for - or ignored.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

I like my human experience se...

I like my human experience served up with a little silence and restraint. Silence makes experience go further and, when it does die, gives it that dignity common to a thing one had touched and not ravished

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

She was nervous about the fut...

She was nervous about the future; it made her indelicate. She was one of the most unimportantly wicked women of her time --because she could not let her time alone, and yet could never be a part of it. She wanted to be the reason for everything and so was the cause of nothing. She had the fluency of tongue and action meted out by divine providence to those who cannot think for themselves. She was the master of the over-sweet phrase, the over-tight embrace.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

The whole world is nothing bu...

The whole world is nothing but a noise, as hot as the inside of a tiger's mouth. They call it civilization - that is a lie! But some day you may have to go out, someone will try to take you out, and you will not understand them or what they are saying, unless you understand nothing, absolutely nothing, then you will manage.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

Man is the only thing that ha...

Man is the only thing that has no further use after something goes amiss.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

One must not look inward too ...

One must not look inward too much, while the inside is yet tender. I do not wish to frighten myself until I can stand it.
