Anyone Quotes (page 57)

The student is half afraid to meet one of the great philosophers face to face. He feels himself inadequate and thinks he will not understand him. But if he only knew, the great man, just because of his greatness, is much more intelligible than his modern commentator. The simplest student will be able to understand, if not all, yet a very great deal of what Plato said; but hardly anyone can understand some modern books on Platonism. C. S. Lewis
Jonathan Franzen quote: "It's doubtful that anyone with an internet connection at his..."
It's doubtful that anyone with an internet connection at his workplace is writing good fiction. Jonathan Franzen
Just as anyone who listens to the muse will hear, you can write out of your own intention or out of inspiration. There is such a thing. It comes up and talks. And those who have heard deeply the rhythms and hymns of the gods, can recite those hymns in such a way that the gods will be attracted. Joseph Campbell
Magic exists. Who can doubt it, when there are rainbows and wildflowers, the music of the wind and the silence of the stars? Anyone who has loved has been touched by magic. It is such a simple and such an extraordinary part of the lives we live. Nora Roberts
Henry Ward Beecher quote: "Hold yourself to a higher standard than anyone else expects of..."
Hold yourself to a higher standard than anyone else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Henry Ward Beecher
Now, it would be wholly foolish to deny the existence of laws of nature. And if that is what we are talking about when we say God, then no one can possibly be an atheist, or at least anyone who would profess atheism would have to give a coherent argument about why the laws of nature are inapplicable. I think he or she would be hard-pressed. So with this latter definition of God, we all believe in God. Carl Sagan
Religions are vague, of course. This means that they are easy to follow -you can interpret their prescriptions as you like. but it also means that it is easy to slip up -there is always some injunction you are violating. But Islam has no religious establishment - no popes, no bishops - that can declare by fiat which is the correct interpretation. As a result, the decision to oppose the state on the grounds that is insufficiently Islamic belongs to anyone who wishes to exercise it. Fareed Zakaria
Jane Austen quote: "She was in no humour for conversation with anyone but himself;..."
She was in no humour for conversation with anyone but himself; and to him she had hardly courage to speak. Jane Austen
Nanny Ogg appreciated fine wine in her very own way. It would never have occurred to Casanunda that anyone would top up white wine with port merely because she'd reached the end of the bottle. Terry Prachett
Yeah, all right, but everyone knows they torture people," mumbled Sam."Do they?" said Vimes. "Then why doesn't anyone do anything about it?"'cos they torture people. Terry Prachett
And it was the kind of thing that loses the most important nuances when reduced to words. He had never told anyone about it, and he probably never would. Haruki Murakami
I'm perpetual tourist, and that's the best way to travel. Nobody gets used to you, you make new friends without having to hear anyone's everyday problems, and you jet back still feeling like a know-it-all. John Waters
Georg Buchner quote: "That's the water calling. It's a long time since anyone was..."
That's the water calling. It's a long time since anyone was drowned. Georg Buchner
I have no sounds that could serve to soothe me, no violoncello like him, no lament that anyone would recognize as a lament because it sounds subdued, in an inexpressibly tender language. I have only these lines on the yellowish paper and words that are never new, for they keep saying the same thing through an entire life. Elias Canetti
Haruki Murakami quote: "Ever since that happened to me, I haven't been able to give..."
Ever since that happened to me, I haven't been able to give myself to anyone in this world. Haruki Murakami
