Always Quotes (page 118)

I tried to build an igloo out of orange peel but it kept falling down and even when it stood up I didn't have an eskimo to put in it, so I had to invent a story about 'How Eskimo Got Eaten', which made me even more miserable. It's always the same with diversions; you get involved Jeanette Winterson
Wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing. A. A. Milne
Whatever the Way, the master of strategy does not appear fast….Of course, slowness is bad. Really skillful people never get out of time, and are always deliberate, and never appear busy. Miyamoto Musashi
With me, the present is forever, and forever is always shifting, flowing, melting. This second is life. And when it is gone it is dead. But you can't start over with each new second. You have to judge by what is dead. It's like quicksand... hopeless from the start. Sylvia Plath
Carl Sagan quote: "But nature is always more subtle, more intricate, more elegant..."
But nature is always more subtle, more intricate, more elegant than what we are able to imagine. Carl Sagan
For me the world has always been more of a puppet show. But when one looks behind the curtain and traces the strings upward he finds they terminate in the hands of yet other puppets, themselves with their own strings which trace upward in turn, and so on. In my own life I saw these strings whose origins were endless enact the deaths of great men in violence and madness. Enact the ruin of a nation. Cormac McCarthy
Our heroine knew that the mother would always leave the window open for her children to fly back by; so they stayed away for years and had a lovely time... J. M. Barrie
Human has always striven to retain the past, to keep it convincing; there's nothing wicked in that. Without it we have no continuity; we have only the moment. And, deprived of the past, the moment - the present - has little meaning, if any. Philip K. Dick
Barbara Pym quote: "She had always been an unashamed reader of novels ..."
She had always been an unashamed reader of novels ... Barbara Pym
Betty Smith quote: "And always, there was the magic of learning things."
And always, there was the magic of learning things. Betty Smith
Rationalism is the idea that we can ever understand anything about the state of being. It's a deathtrip. It always has been. . . . And if rationalism is a deathtrip, then irrationalism might very well be a lifetrip . . . at least until it proves otherwise. Stephen King
In philosophy it is always good to put a question instead of an answer to a question. For an answer to the philosophical question may easily be unfair; disposing of it by means of another question is not. Ludwig Wittgenstein
Aldous Huxley quote: "We live together, we act on, and react to one another; but..."
We live together, we act on, and react to one another; but always, and in all circumstances, we are by ourselves. Aldous Huxley
Any battle-seasoned general will tell you that, even in a small-scale engagement (as this one was), there always comes a point where coherence breaks down, and the narrative flow, and any real sense of how things are going. These matters are re-created by historians later on. The need to re-create the myth of coherence may be one of the reasons why history exists in the first place. Stephen King
A murderer is less loathsome to us than a spy. The murderer may have acted on a sudden mad impulse; he may be penitent and amend; but a spy is always a spy, night and day, in bed, at table, as he walks abroad; his vileness pervades every moment of his life Honore de Balzac
