Always Quotes (page 264)

I owe all my originality, such as it is, to my determination not to be a literary man. Instead of belonging to a literary club I belong to a municipal council. Instead of drinking and discussing authors and reviews, I sit on committees with capable practical greengrocers and bootmakers... Keep away from books and from men who get their ideas from books, and your own books will always be fresh. George Bernard Shaw
Once off the bush. The fruit fermented, the sweet flesh would turn sour. I always felt like crying. It wasn't fair. That all the lovely canfuls smelt of rot. Each year I hoped they'd keep, knew they would not.-Blackberry picking Seamus Heaney
Paulo Coelho quote: "Knowledge was always the power that kept the Universe in its..."
Knowledge was always the power that kept the Universe in its place and the stars turning in their orbits. Paulo Coelho
There’s no accountability anymore, Pierce, no one holds anyone accountable for what they do. It’s always someone else’s fault. Usually people just blame the victim. Meg Cabot
She’s just a little faint,” I reassured Mrs. Hammond. “They’re blood typing in biology.” She nodded, understanding now. “There’s always one.” I stifled a laugh. Trust Bella to be that one. Stephenie Meyer

[Selden] had preserved a certain social detachment, a happy air of viewing the show objectively, of having points of contact outside the great gilt cage in which they were all huddled for the mob to gape at. How alluring the world outside the cage appeared to Lily, as she heard its door clang on her! In reality, as she knew, the door never clanged: it stood always open; but most of the captives were like flies in a bottle, and having once flown in, could never regain their freedom. It was... Edith Wharton
Henry David Thoreau quote: "I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the..."
I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born. Henry David Thoreau
Benjamin Franklin quote: "Finding myself to exist in the world, I believe i shall, in..."
Finding myself to exist in the world, I believe i shall, in some shape or other, always exist. Benjamin Franklin
To live with tremendous and proud composure; always beyond —. To have and not to have one's affects, one's pro and con, at will; to condescend to them, for a few hours; to seat oneself on them as on a horse, often as on an ass — for one must know how to make use of their stupidity as much as of their fire. To reserve one's three hundred foregrounds; also the dark glasses; for there are cases when nobody may look into our eyes, still less into our "grounds." And to choose for company that...

Love was always love anytine anyplace but it was more solid the closer it came to death . Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Someone said that patriotism is the last refuge of cowards; those without moral principles usually wrap a flag around themselves, and those bastards always talk about the purity of race. Umberto Eco
Life always bursts the boundaries of formulas. Defeat may prove to have been the only path to resurrection, despite its ugliness. I take it for granted that to create a tree I condemn a seed to rot. If the first act of resistance comes too late it is doomed to defeat. But it is, nevertheless, the awakening of resistance. Life may grow from it as from a seed. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Betty Smith quote: "If I can fix every detail of this time in my mind, I can keep..."
If I can fix every detail of this time in my mind, I can keep this moment always. Betty Smith
He burst into one of his rare fits of laughter as he turned away from the picture. I have not heard him laugh often, and it has always boded ill to somebody. Arthur Conan Doyle
