Because Quotes (page 567)

The Somebody Else's Problem field is much simpler and more effective, and what's more can be run for over a hundred years on a single torch battery. This is because it relies on people's natural disposition not to see anything they don't want to, weren't expecting, or can't explain. Douglas Adams
Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses -because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened. Dwight D. Eisenhower
But, of course, it isn't really Good-bye, because the Forest will always be there... and anybody who is Friendly with Bears can find it. A. A. Milne
After I got my coffee, I leaned against a stop sign and sipped, pretending it was a normal day and I was only up this early so that I could go running and not because I'd just been on a killing spree. Augusten Burroughs
People wanted the world to be a story, because stories had to sound right and they had to make sense. People wanted the world to make sense. Terry Prachett
What is there? I know first of all that I am. But who am I? All I know of myself is that I suffer. And if I suffer it is because at the origin of myself there is mutilation, separation. I am separated. What I am separated from - I cannot name it. But I am separated. Arthur Adamov
30. If Will stops and cries Why, invoking Because, then Will stops an does naught.31. If power asks why, then power is weakness. Aleister Crowley
Men are biological. Women are biological. We pretend our minds are in control, but that’s a very tenuous control at best, and a civilized society can’t be built on uncontrolled biology. I see it in my work: intelligence betrayed by lust, by jealousy, by macho ownership; otherwise trustworthy men who can’t be trusted at all around women, or vice versa. Hell, look at Congress. Well-intentioned, progressive, admired law-makers who end up losing it all because they can’t control how they... Sheri S. Tepper

They call her my singer—because her blood sings for me. Stephenie Meyer

[He] had the soul of a poet, and because of this, he liked very much to consider questions that had no answers. Kate DiCamillo
Anne Rice quote: "I live lies because I cannot endure the weakness of anger, and..."
I live lies because I cannot endure the weakness of anger, and I cannot admit the irrationality of love. Anne Rice
And I declare myself freefrom ignorant love. You easy loversand forgivers of mankind, stand back! I will love you at a distance, and not because you deserve it. My love must be descriminateor fail to bear its weight. Wendell Berry
When you have a Dancing partner, there's always gonna be a moment where the girl's gonna cry, Ginger didn't do that. But, most every other girl I've worked with have cried because they said "aah, I can't do it" and I have to go "Yes, you can, Shut up!" and they do do it. Fred Astaire
Further conceive, I beg, that a stone, while continuing in motion, should be capable of thinking and knowing, that it is endeavoring, as far as it can, to continue to move. Such a stone, being conscious merely of its own endeavor and not at all indifferent, would believe itself to be completely free, and would think that it continued in motion solely because of its own wish. This is that human freedom, which all boast that they possess, and which consists solely in the fact, that men are... Baruch Spinoza
Sam Vimes could parallel process. Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as "and they can deliver it tomorrow" or "so I've invited them for dinner?" or "they can do it in blue, really quite cheaply. Terry Prachett
