Quotations - December 2006

Here are a few lines,
"We hear the voices of the beast
As it shouts at us, as it tries to frighten us
As it tries to intimidate us
And we know the price is high, but the end is near"

The speech in question was delivered in South Africa near the end of the Apartheid era.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Einstein wrote:
"Schopenhauer's words, 'Man can indeed do what he wants, but he cannot want what he wants', accompany me in all life situations and console me in my dealings with people, even those that are really painful to me." (In German: »Der Mensch kann wohl tun was er will, aber er kann nicht wollen, was er will.«). Variant translations: Man can control what he wills, but not how he wills. Man can indeed do what he wants, but he cannot want what he wants. --Taken from Wikipedia. Examples would be very helpful. All contributions are greatly appreciated.

The full quote is:
"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 146. I have some guesses, but I am interested in other interpretatioms. I appreciate any insight.

Are there bible verses somewhere that say (very loosely translated) "If you put things or people for God, He will take them away"? I don't think it is the "Thou shall have no other idols befor me" verse. I'm going crazy! Thank you.

I'm not talking about isolated thoughts. I mean in an extended piece in which the person who's telling the story is engaging in extensive dialogue and is also telling you his/her thought process, how do you distinguish between the two? Italics is a possibility for the thoughts, but might look cluttery after a bit. Or no quotes, just a comma at the end of the thought before the "I thought." Here is a fictitious, over-simplified example:

"I love your shirt!" I said.
"How tacky it looks!" I thought.

or

"Do you want to go out tonight?" I asked.
"Please, please, please be free!" I thought.

I don't see anything that explicitly deals with this in my grammar books. They just advise to use italics sparingly, or else it makes your writing look amateurish. And as I said before, the writing I am talking about is FULL of things verbalized and thoughts not verbalized.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it! And if you know of any sources on the issue, that would be even better! Than
