Allowance Quotes (page 31)

She asked God, without fear, if he really believed that people were made of iron in order to bear so many troubles and mortifications; and asking over and over she was stirring up her own confusion and she felt irrepressible desires to let herself go and scamper about like a foreigner and allow herself at last an instant of rebellion, that instant yearned for so many times and so many times postponed, putting her resignation aside and shitting on everything once and for all and drawing out of... Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Bilbo, allow me to introduce Fili, Kili, Oin, GLoin, Dwalin, Balin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Dori, Nori , Ori and the leader of your Company Thorin Oakinshield.-Movie Quote J. R. R. Tolkien
One must indeed be ignorant of the methods of genius to suppose that it allows itself to be cramped by forms. Forms are for mediocrity, and it is fortunate that mediocrity can act only according to routine. Ability takes its flight unhindered. Napoleon Bonaparte
It can’t be said enough. Don’t concern yourself with fashion; stick to simple pieces that flatter your body type. By nineteen, I had found my look. Oversize T-shirts, bike shorts, and wrestling shoes. To prevent the silhouette from being too baggy, I would cinch it at the waist with my fanny pack. I was pretty sure I would wear this look forever. The shirts allowed me to express myself with cool sayings like “There’s No Crying in Baseball” and “Universitt Heidelberg,” the bike shorts showed... Tina Fey
George MacDonald quote: "You allowed me existence, which is the sum of what one can..."
You allowed me existence, which is the sum of what one can demand of his fellow-beings George MacDonald
I think certain types of processes don’t allow for any variation. If you have to be part of that process, all you can do is transform—or perhaps distort—yourself through that persistent repetition, and make that process a part of your own personality. Haruki Murakami
That is why each of us has to find out for himself what is permitted and what is forbidden--forbidden for him. It's possible for one never to transgress a single law and still be a bastard. And vise versa. Actually it's only a question of convenience. Those who are too lazy and comfortable to think for themselves and be their own judges obey the laws. Others sense their own laws within them; things are forbidden to them that every honorable man will do any day in the year and other... Herman Hesse
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "Leisure is being allowed to do nothing."
Leisure is being allowed to do nothing. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Abraham Lincoln quote: "The written word may be man's greatest invention. It allows us..."
The written word may be man's greatest invention. It allows us toconverse with the dead, the absent, and the unborn. Abraham Lincoln
If you asked me what makes the world go round, I would say self-deception. Self-deception allows us to create a consistent narrative for ourselves that we actually believe. I’m not saying that the truth doesn’t matter. It does. But self-deception is how we survive. Errol Morris
And I, the former mystic, was thinking: Yes, man is stronger, greater than God. When Adam and Eve deceived You, You chased them from paradise. When You were displeased by Noah’s generation, You brought down the Flood. When Sodom lost Your favour, You caused the heavens to rain down fire and damnation. But look at these men whom You have betrayed, allowing them to be tortured, slaughtered, gassed, and burned, what do they do? They pray before You! They praise Your name! Elie Wiesel
My only point, the only point that I'm making, is life has got to be allowed to continue even after the dream of life is--all--over.... Tennessee Williams
Even though I don't ask, Plutarch gives me cheerful updates on the phone like "Good news, Katniss! I think we've almost got him convinced you're not a mutt!" Or "Today he was allowed to feed himself pudding! Suzanne Collins
Elizabeth Gilbert quote: "At some point, you gotta let go, and sit still, and allow..."
At some point, you gotta let go, and sit still, and allow contentment to come to you. Elizabeth Gilbert
Some six weeks ago I was allowed by the doctor to have white bread to eat instead of the coarse black or brown bread of ordinary prison fare. It is a great delicacy. It will sound strange that dry bread could possibly be a delicacy to any one. To me it is so much so that at the close of each meal I carefully eat whatever crumbs may be left on my tin plate, or have fallen on the rough towel that one uses as a cloth so as not to soil one’s table; and I do so not from hunger—I get now quite... Oscar Wilde
