what the title says.

there are sooo many for me but one of my favorite quotes ever is from a clockwork orange by anthony burgess:

“Oh it was gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh. The trombones crunched redgold under my bed, and behind my gulliver the trumpets three-wise silverflamed, and there by the door the timps rolling through my guts and out again crunched like candy thunder. Oh, it was wonder of wonders. And then, a bird of like rarest spun heavenmetal, or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now, came the violin solo above all the other strings, and those strings were like a cage of silk round my bed. Then flute and oboe bored, like worms of like platinum, into the thick thick toffee gold and silver. I was in such bliss, my brothers.”

    “If we had a worship, it was of the struggling brilliance of life - regardless of form or purpose.” - Beholder’s Eye, Julie E. Czerneda

    It’s one of my favorite lines from a book. It’s actually in my profile.
