Because I Can Quotes (page 98)

Love those who hurt you the most, because they are probably the ones closest to you. They, too, are on a path, and just like you they are learning to walk before they can fly. Imagine of everybody you hurt in life turned their backs on you? You would be playing a hell of a lot of solitaire. Love them no matter what. Nikki Sixx
How can he talk like that?" thought Pierre. He considered his friend a model of perfection because Prince Andrew possessed in the highest degree just the very qualities Pierre lacked, and which might be best described as strength of will. Leo Tolstoy
If you are foolish enough to be contented, don't show it, but grumble with the rest; and if you can do with a little, ask for a great deal. Because if you don't you won't get any. Jerome K. Jerome
If she had touched me," he said very softly, "I would have been hers and not my own, not ever again. I wanted her to touch me but I could not let her. No cat will. We let human beings caress us because it is pleasant enough and calms them - but not her. The price is more than a cat can pay. Peter S. Beagle
Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag. Use your memory! Use your memory! It is those bitter seeds alone which might sprout and grow someday. Look around you - there are people around you. Maybe you will remember one of them all your life and later eat your heart out because you didn't make use of the opportunity to ask him questions. And the less you talk, the more you'll hear. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Terry Prachett quote: "Most horses don't walk backwards voluntarily, because what..."
Most horses don't walk backwards voluntarily, because what they can't see doesn't exist. Terry Prachett
Margaret Atwood quote: "it's doors I'm afraid of because I can't see through them, its..."
it's doors I'm afraid of because I can't see through them, its the door opening by itself in the wind I'm afraid of. Margaret Atwood
The celebrations. Of secret nonmeetings are empty, Unspoken conversations, Unuttered words. Glances that don't intersect. Don't know where to come to rest. And only the tears rejoice. Because they can flow and flow. Sweetbrier around Moscow, Alas! Somehow it is here ... And all this they will call. Love eternal. Anna Akhmatova
Actually that’s my secret — I can’t even talk about you to anybody because I don’t want any more people to know how wonderful you are. F. Scott Fitzgerald
I agree to the conditions, Angel; because you know best what my punishment ought to be; only - only - don't make it more than I can bear! Thomas Hardy
That's sad," said Montag, quietly,(referring to The Hound) "because all we put into it is hunting and finding and killing. What a shame if that's all it can ever know. Ray Bradbury
For myself, I am interested in science and in philosophy only because I want to learn something about the riddle of the world in which we live, and the riddle of man's knowledge of that world. And I believe that only a revival of interest in these riddles can save the sciences and philosophy from an obscurantist faith in the expert's special skill and in his personal knowledge and authority. Karl Popper
It is not by way of language that I shall transmit what is within me; for it is inexpressible in words. I can but signify this insofar as you may understand it through other channels than the spoken word; by love's miracle or because, born of the same God, we are akin. Else I have to drag it out, laboriously--that sunken world within me. And thus, as my clumsiness avails, I display this or that aspect alone--as in the case of my mountain, of which I may say merely that it is high. But it is... Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Steven Wright quote: "If you can’t hear me, it’s because I’m in parentheses."
If you can’t hear me, it’s because I’m in parentheses. Steven Wright
Remember something, if you will, about voting: Voting is not a horse race, you're not going there thinking "Gee, I gotta pick the winner so I can brag to my friends 'Oh, I picked so-and-so and he or she won'". Voting is voting your heart and voting your conscience and when you've done that, don't ever, EVER let a Democrat or Republican tell you that you've wasted your vote because the fact is, if you DON'T vote your heart and conscience then you HAVE wasted your vote. Jesse Ventura
