Any Quotes (page 148)

The future, good or ill, was not forgotten, but ceased to have any power over the present. Health and hope grew strong in them, and they were content with each good day as it came, taking pleasure in every meal, and in every word and song. J. R. R. Tolkien

I wanted all of her and resented other boys for wanting any part of her. Jonathan Franzen
Its nothing,' said Horace quietly, 'but if you can think of any nicer way of a man killing himself than taking a risk for you, why that's the way I want to die. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Jim Morrison quote: "Could any Hell be more horrible than now, and real?"
Could any Hell be more horrible than now, and real? Jim Morrison
The critics say that epics have died out with Agamemnon and the goat-nursed gods; I'll not believe it. I could never deem as Payne Knight did, that Homer's heroes measured twelve feet high. They were but men: -his Helen's hair turned grey like any plain Miss Smith's who wears a front; And Hector's infant whimpered at a plume as yours last Friday at a turkey-cock. All heroes are essential men, and all men possible heroes: every age, heroic in proportions, double faced, looks backward and... Elizabeth Barrett Browning
((Doc is getting ready to do a Pap-smear on Reece))"Looks healthy," Doc commented."Good, because it hasn't been getting any exercise in quite a while." When she heard Willow smother a laugh, Reece just closed her eyes. She had to remember some old saying about being careful of thoughts. They become words. Nora Roberts
I'm willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else's living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another's brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves. John Updike
Louisa May Alcott quote: "Persuasive influences are better than any amount of moralizing."
Persuasive influences are better than any amount of moralizing. Louisa May Alcott
Thornton Wilder quote: "Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it?"
Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Thornton Wilder
Mark Twain quote: "The gods offer no rewards for intellect. There was never one..."
The gods offer no rewards for intellect. There was never one yet that showed any interest in it... Mark Twain
Many liberals believe in G-d; many conservatives do. What matters is not whether people believe in G-d but what text, if any, they believe to be divine. Those who believe that He has spoken through a given text will generally think differently from those who believe that no text is divine. Such people will usually get their values from other texts, or more likely from their conscience and heart. Dennis Prager
David Hume quote: "Carelessness and in-attention alone can afford us any remedy...."
Carelessness and in-attention alone can afford us any remedy. For this reason I rely entirely upon them. David Hume
Come, dear, [Gwendolen rises] we have already missed five, if not six, trains. To miss any more might expose us to comment on the platform. Oscar Wilde
I was still owed an explanation, I thought, but so what? What good was it going to do me? It wouldn't have made me any happier. It was like scratching when you have chicken pox. You think it's going to help, but the itch moves over, and then moves over again. My itch suddenly felt miles away, and I couldn't have reached it with the longest arms in the world. Realizing that made me scared that I was going to be itchy forever, and I didn't want that. Nick Hornby
No matter what these people say about me, my music doesn't glorify any image. My music is spiritual when you listen to it. It's all about emotion, I tell my innermost, darkest secrets. Tupac Shakur
