Almost Quotes (page 14)

If you limit the search for truth and forbid men anywhere, in any way, to seek knowledge, you paralyze the vital force of truth itself. In the best sense of the word, Jesus was a radical. His religion has been so long identified with conservation -- often with conservatism of the obstinate and unyielding sort -- that it is almost startling for us sometimes to remember that all of the conservatism of his own times was against him; that it was the young, free, restless, sanguine, progressive... Phillips Brooks
Theodore Dreiser quote: "She merely beamed a fatty beam. She was almost ponderous, and..."
She merely beamed a fatty beam. She was almost ponderous, and pink, with a tendency to a double chin. Theodore Dreiser
Georg C. Lichtenberg quote: "It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a..."
It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody's beard. Georg C. Lichtenberg
It's very hard to stop doing things you're used to doing. You almost have to dismantle yourself and scatter it all around and then put a blindfold on and put it back together so that you avoid old habits. Tom Waits
And that almost killed you?"It wasn't deep but it got infected. Infection means that the bad germs got into it. Infection's the most dangerous thing there is, Tom. Infection was what made the superflu germ kill all the people. And infection is what made people want to make the germ in the first place. An infection of the mind. Stephen King
The most outlandish people can be the stimulus for love...A most mediocre person can be the object of a love which is wild, extravagant, and beautiful as the poison lilies of the swamp. A good man may be the stimulus for a love both violent and debased, or a jabbering madman may bring about in the soul of someone a tender and simple idyll. Therefore, the value and quality of any love is determined solely by the lover himself. It is for this reason that most of us would rather love than be... Carson McCullers
Not my idea of God, but God. Not my idea of H., but H. Yes, and also not my idea of my neighbour, but my neighbour. For don't we often make this mistake as regards people who are still alive -- who are with us in the same room? Talking and acting not to the man himself but to the picture -- almost the prcis -- we've made of him in our own minds? And he has to depart from it pretty widely before we even notice the fact. C. S. Lewis
She hated people who thought too much. At that moment, she struck me as an appropriate representative for almost all mankind. Kurt Vonnegut
A good working definition of fanaticism is that you are so convinced of your views and policies that you are sure that anyone who opposed them must be either stupid and decieved or have some ulterior motive. We are today a nation where almost everyone in the public eye displays fanaticism with every utterance. Orson Scott Card
We are all strangers in a strange land, longing for home, but not quite knowing what or where home is. We glimpse it sometimes in our dreams, or as we turn a corner, and suddenly there is a strange, sweet familiarity that vanishes almost as soon as it comes. Madeleine L'Engle
It is a feeling of relief, almost of pleasure, at knowing yourself at last genuinely down and out. You have talked so often of going to the dogs - and well, here are the dogs, and you have reached them, and you can stand it. It takes off a lot of anxiety. George Orwell
They walked off on the earthy path, laughing not quite naturally, for they could hardly help being pleased by the momentary attention of descending passengers and by their own almost meritorious youth. Shirley Hazzard
Dan Brown quote: "Knowledge is power, and the right knowledge lets man perform..."
Knowledge is power, and the right knowledge lets man perform miraculous, almost godlike tasks. Dan Brown
John Irving quote: "A truly happy woman drives some men and almost every other..."
A truly happy woman drives some men and almost every other woman absolutely crazy John Irving
Steven Wright quote: "Once I tried to kill myself with a bungee cord. I kept almost..."
Once I tried to kill myself with a bungee cord. I kept almost dying. Steven Wright
