Almost Quotes (page 89)

I have been extremely positive with almost all new people. And why, let me ask, shan't I be? When you think, you have a lot of to say for someone you know for a short time. Cleveland Amory
Foes and false friends are all around me, Lord Davos. They infest my city like roaches, and at night I feel them crawling over me.” The fat man’s fingers coiled into a fist, and all his chins trembled. “My son Wendel came to the Twins a guest. He ate Lord Walder’s bread and salt, and hung his sword upon the wall to feast with his friends. And they murdered him. Murdered, I say, and may the Freys choke upon their fables. I drink with Jared, jape with Symond, promise Rhaegar the hand of my own... George R. R. Martin

We ourselve are the authors of almost all our woes and griefs, of which we so unreasonably complain. Giacomo Casanova
Sometimes our connection is frayed, it is in danger, it seems almost lost. Views and streets deny knowledge of us, the air grows thin. Wouldn't we rather have a destiny to submit to, than, something that claims us, anything, instead of such flimsy choices, arbitrary days? Alice Munro
Emily Giffin quote: "Love is seldom—almost never—an even proposition. Someone..."
Love is seldom—almost never—an even proposition. Someone always loves more. Emily Giffin
Graduates leave university and can't find a job. Old people reach retirement and have almost nothing to live on.

Paulo Coelho
Tina Fey quote: "you can almost hear people’s b-holes tighten. A collective..."

And the peasants would beat them so cruelly, sometimes even about the nose and eyes, and he felt so sorry, so sorry for them that he almost cried, and his mother always used to take him away from the window. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers who can cut through the argument debate and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand. Colin Powell
Mr. Blatchford attacks Christianity because he is mad on one Christian virtue: the merely mystical and almost irrational virtue of charity. He has a strange idea that he will make it easier to forgive sins by saying that there are no sins to forgive. Mr. Blatchford is not only an early Christian, he is the only early Christian who really ought to have been eaten by lions. Gilbert K. Chesterton
tomorrow was her birthday, and she was thinking how fast the years went by, how old she was getting, and how little she seemed to have accomplished. Almost twenty-five and nothing to show for it. Louisa May Alcott
Ray Bradbury quote: "Perhaps I'm not their dead one back, but I'm something almost..."
Perhaps I'm not their dead one back, but I'm something almost better to them; an ideal shaped by their minds. Ray Bradbury
Everyone, from almost every tradition, agrees on five things. Rule 1: We are all family. Rule 2: You reap exactly what you sow, that is, you cannot grow tulips from zucchini seeds. Rule 3: Try to breathe every few minutes or so. Rule 4: It helps beyond words to plant bulbs in the dark of winter. Rule 5: It is immoral to hit first. [pp.313-314] Anne Lamott
Nicholas D. Kristof quote: "The equivalent of five jumbo jets' worth of women die in labor..."
The equivalent of five jumbo jets' worth of women die in labor each day, but the issue is almost never covered. Nicholas D. Kristof
When you collect marine animals there are certain flat worms so delicate that they are almost impossible to catch whole for they will break and tatter under the touch. You must let them ooze and crawl of their own will onto a knife blade and lift them gently into your bottle of sea water. And perhaps that might be the way to write this book-to open the page and let the stories crawl in by themselves. John Steinbeck
