Becomes Quotes (page 197)

What madness! Yet she would do it, if she could force herself. She'd become, she believed, a stronger person: a willful, resolute. Like the man who adored her, reckless. Joyce Carol Oates
We must both, I'm afraid, recognize that, as we grow older, we become like old cars-more and more repairs and replacements are necessary. We must just look forward to the fine new machines (latest Resurrection model) which are waiting for us, we hope, in the Divine garage. C. S. Lewis
Ogden Nash quote: "The trouble with a kitten is that....... It eventually..."
The trouble with a kitten is that....... It eventually becomes a cat! Ogden Nash

There can be distractions, but if you're isolated from the heart of the Games, the Olympics become just another competition. Mary Lou Retton
That same spirit which makes us love the praise of men makes us dread the threats of men. You cannot be pleased with the adulation of mankind without becoming fearful of tour censure. Charles Spurgeon
Woe entreats: Go! Away, woe! But all that suffers wants to live, that it may become ripe and joyous and longing- longing for what is farther, higher, brighter. "I want heirs"- thus speaks all that suffers; "I want children; I do not want myself".

You had to put it in a glass case and look at it and think about it until it gave up its meaning. Nick Hornby
Aimee Mann quote: "I suppose I should be happy to be misread; better be that than..."
I suppose I should be happy to be misread; better be that than some of the other things I have become. Aimee Mann
The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in. Let it come in. We think we don’t deserve love, we think if we let it in we’ll become too soft. But a wise man named Levin said it right. He said, “Love is the only rational act. Mitch Albom
The scholar only knows how dear these silent, yet eloquent, companions of pure thoughts and innocent hours become in the season of adversity. When all that is worldly turns to dross around us, these only retain their steady value. Washington Irving
In distilled form, though, the explanations of both the right and the left have become mirror images of each other. They are stories of conspiracy, of America being hijacked by an evil cabal. Like all good conspiracy theories, both tales contain just enough truth to satisfy those predisposed to believe in them, without admitting any contradictions that might shake up those assumptions. Their purpose is not to persuade the other side but to keep their bases agitated and assured of the... Barack Obama
If a man brings a good mind to what he reads he may become, as it were, the spiritual descendant to some extent of great men, and this link, this spiritual hereditary tie, may help to just kick the beam in the right direction at a vital crisis; or may keep him from drifting through the long slack times when, so to speak, we are only fielding and no balls are coming our way. Rudyard Kipling
As for my needs, they had dwindled as it were to my dimensions and become, if I may say so, of so exquisite a quality as to exclude all thought of succour. Samuel Beckett
If I imagine the genesis of a novelist in the form of an exemplary tale, a "myth," that genesis looks to me like a conversion story: Saul becoming Paul; the novelist being born from the ruins of his lyrical world. Milan Kundera
Love isn't the work of the tender and the gentle; Love is the work of wrestlers. The one who becomes a servant of loversis really a fortunate sovereign. Don't ask anyone about Love; ask Love about Love. Love is a cloud that scatters pearls. Rumi
