About Quotes (page 62)

I’m an egotist, but I’m not selfish. There’s a difference. I’m a neurotic, I guess. I can’t stop thinking about myself. It isn’t that I think myself so important... I simply can’t think about anything else, that’s all. If I could fall in love with a woman that might help some. But I can’t find a woman who interests me. Henry Miller
Ann Landers quote: "Asking a writer what he thinks about critics is like asking..."
Asking a writer what he thinks about critics is like asking what a fire hydrant feels about dogs. Ann Landers
Albert Camus quote: "I may not have been sure about what really did interest me,..."
I may not have been sure about what really did interest me, but I was absolutely sure about what didn't. Albert Camus
Chuck Klosterman quote: "Everybody is wrong about everything, just about all the time."
Everybody is wrong about everything, just about all the time. Chuck Klosterman
Don't you think I have sense enough to worry about my motives for saying the prayer? That's exactly what's bothering me so. Just because I'm choosy about what I want - in this case, enlightenment or peace, instead or money or prestige or game or any of those things, doesn't mean I'm not as egotistical and self-seeking as everybody else. If anything, I'm more so! J. D. Salinger
Let me be the first to admit that the naked truth about me is to the naked truth about Salvador Dali as an old ukulele in the attic is to a piano in a tree, and I mean a piano with breasts. Senor Dali has the jump on me from the beginning. He remembers and describes in detail what it was like in the womb. My own earliest memory is of accompanying my father to a polling booth in Columbus, Ohio, where he voted for William McKinley. James Thurber
Perhaps it's only when people are dead that we can safely show how much we cared about them. We know that it's too late then for them to do anything about it. P. D. James
The starting point of great success in your life begins, in the simplest terms, when you discipline yourself to think and talk about only the things you want and refuse to think and talk about anything you don't want. Brian Tracy
I learned about religion the way most children learned about sex, [in the schoolyard]. . . . They terrified me by telling me there was a dead man in the sky watching everything I did and I retaliated by explaining where babies came from. Some of their mothers phoned mine to complain, though I think I was more upset than they were: they didn't believe me but I believed them. Margaret Atwood
Well, I know about loneliness. I won't talk about it, but I was very lonely after the war. I know what it feels like to spend a whole weekend all by yourself and no one wants you at all. Charles M. Schulz
Brian Tracy quote: "Think continally about what you want, not about the things you..."
Think continally about what you want, not about the things you fear. Brian Tracy
John Buchan quote: "I get into a tearing passion about something I know very..."
I get into a tearing passion about something I know very little about, and when I learn more my passion ebbs away. John Buchan
That eating should be foremost about bodily health is a relatively new and, I think, destructive idea-destructive not just the pleasure of eating, which would be bad enough, but paradoxically of our health as well. Indeed, no people on earth worry more about the health consequences of their food choices than we Americans-and no people suffer from as many diet-related problems. We are becoming a nation of orthorexics: people with an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating. Michael Pollan
I'm interested in the way in which the past affects the present and I think that if we understand a good deal more about history, we automatically understand a great more about contemporary life. Toni Morrison
Why couldn't Rachel be a little more specific about the type of person she was? Goodness knew; if she were a hippie I'd talk to her about her drug experiences, the zodiac, tarot cards. If she were left-wing I'd look miserable, hate Greece, and eat baked beans straight from the tin. If she were the sporty type I'd play her at... chess and backgammon and things. Martin Amis
