Dreams have only the pigmentation of fact.

Destiny and history are untidy.

No man needs curing of his individual sickness; his universal malady is what he should look to.

Sleep demands of us a guilty immunity.

Youth is cause, effect is age;...

Youth is cause, effect is age; so with the thickening of the neck we get data.

Certainty always produces ques...

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

I've seen death and I didn't like it.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

The whole world is nothing but...

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

Una's face was an unbroken blo...

Una's face was an unbroken block of calculation, saving where, upon her upper lip, a little down of hair fluttered. Yet it gave one an uncanny feeling. It made one think of a tassel on a hammer.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

Madness to us means reversion;...

Madness to us means reversion; to such people as Una and Lena it meant progression. Now their uncle had entered into a land beyond them, the land of fancy. For fifty years he had been as they were, silent, hard-working, unimaginative. Then all of a sudden, like a scholar passing his degree, he had gone up into another form ...

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

When one wants to become cogni...

When one wants to become cognizant of the color and the texture of the soil, one does not get a ladder; one gets a shovel. When one wants to get into touch with the texture of the universal mind, one does not go to Boston; one goes to the Bowery.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

New York rose out of the water...

New York rose out of the water like a great wave that found it impossible to return again and so remained there in horror, peering out of the million windows man had caged it with.

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

Man is the only thing that has...

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

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

One cup poured into another ma...

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

For most people, life is nasty...

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

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

We are but skin about a wind, ...

We are but skin about a wind, with muscles clenched against mortality.

Why is it that whenever I hear music I think I'm a bride?

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.
