Becoming Quotes (page 157)

The nights you fight best arewhen all the weapons are pointed at you, when all the voices hurl their insultswhile the dream is being strangled. The nights you fight best arewhen reason gets kicked in the gut, when the chariots of gloom encircle you. The nights you fight best arewhen the laughter of fools fills the air, when the kiss of death is mistaken for love. The nights you fight best arewhen the game is fixed, when the crowd screams for your blood. The nights you fight best areon a night... Charles Bukowski

Teach me, like you, to drink creation whole/ And casting out myself, become a soul. Richard Wilbur
That human life is but a first installment of the serial soul and that one's individual secret is not lost in the process of earthly dissolution, becomes something more than an optimistic conjecture, and even more than a matter of religious faith, when we remember that only commonsense rules immortality out. Vladimir Nabokov
Ernest Hemingway quote: "Just as, with the radio, there are certain things that you..."
Just as, with the radio, there are certain things that you become fond of, and you welcome them and resent the new things Ernest Hemingway
There is an illusion about America, a myth about America to which we are clinging which has nothing to do with the lives we lead and I don't believe that anybody in this country who has really thought about it or really almost anybody who has been brought up against it--and almost all of us have one way or another--this collision between one's image of oneself and what one actually is is always very painful and there are two things you can do about it, you can meet the collision head-on and... James Baldwin
And so liberalism had become a habit of Stepan Arkadyevitch's, and he liked his newspaper, as he did his cigar after dinner, for the slight fog it diffused in his brain. Leo Tolstoy
I think it inevitably follows, that as new species in the course of time are formed through natural selection, others will become rarer and rarer, and finally extinct. The forms which stand in closest competition with those undergoing modification and improvement will naturally suffer most. Charles Darwin
[...]when two people have become present to each other, the waiting of one must be able to cross the narrow line between the living or dying of the other. Henri Nouwen
W. E. B. Du Bois quote: "The most important thing to remember is this: To be ready at..."
The most important thing to remember is this: To be ready at any moment to give up what you are for what you might become. W. E. B. Du Bois
The misery of keeping a dog is his dying so soon. But, to be sure, if he lived for fifty years and then died, what would become of me? Walter Scott
Gabriel Garcia Marquez quote: "In the end, it is impossible not to become what others believe..."
In the end, it is impossible not to become what others believe you are. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
