Before Quotes (page 147)

He appeared before me and departed. We were not able to speak to or touch each other. But in that short interval, he transformed many things inside me. He literally stirred my mind and body the way a spoon stirs a cup of cocoa, down to the depths of my internal organs and my womb. Haruki Murakami
Convictions and the man--it seems they're two different things in many ways. Maybe in many ways I'm guilty before them!...We're all guilty, we're all guilty, and...if only we were all convinced of it! Fyodor Dostoevsky
I had never seen a woman's breasts before, and I doubted if any seven-year-old boy in Craighead County had. Maybe some kid had stumbled upon his mother, but I was certain no boy my age had never had this view. John Grisham
Like any good novel, it lulled him into an almost tranquil state of awareness before it jolted him - it caught him completely by surprise. John Irving
Terry Goodkind quote: "The entire mass of people before the palace erupted in a..."
The entire mass of people before the palace erupted in a deafening roar. And then, as one, they lunged forward. Terry Goodkind
Elizabeth Gaskell quote: "I dare not hope. I never was fainthearted before; but I..."
I dare not hope. I never was fainthearted before; but I cannot believe such a creature cares for me. Elizabeth Gaskell
Henry David Thoreau quote: "Read your fate, see what is before you, and walk on into..."
Read your fate, see what is before you, and walk on into futurity. Henry David Thoreau
Intuition is like reading a word without having to spell it out. A child can't do that because it has had so little experience. A grown-up person knows the word because they've seen it often before. Agatha Christie
My dad, may he rest in peace, taught me many wonderful things. And one of the things he taught me was never ask a guy what you do for a living. He said "If you think about it, when you ask a guy, what do you do you do for a living," you’re saying "how may I gauge the rest of your utterances." are you smarter than I am? Are you richer than I am, poorer than I am?" So you ask a guy what do you do for a living, it’s the same thing as asking a guy, let me know what your politics are... David Mamet
Stories without endings can do nothing but go on forever, and to be caught in one means that you must die before your part in it is played out. Paul Auster
So seemed it to me, as I stood at her helm, and for long hours silently guided the way of this fire-ship on the sea. Wrapped, for that interval, in darkness myself, I but the better saw the redness, the madness, the ghastliness of others. The continual sight of the fiend shapes before me, capering half in smoke and half in fire, these at last begat kindred visions in my soul, so soon as I began to yield to that unaccountable drowsiness which ever would come over me at a midnight helm. Herman Melville
We imagine that when we are thrown out of our usual ruts all is lost, but it is only then that what is new and good begins. While there is life there is happiness. There is much, much before us. Leo Tolstoy
I had known loneliness before, and emptiness upon the moor, but I had never been a NOTHING, a nothing floating on a nothing, known by nothing, lonelier and colder than the space between the stars. It was more frightening than being dead. Peter Carey
I'm sorry' I said again. Whenever someone tells you something said, it's the only thing you can think to say, even if you're already said it before. Nicholas Sparks
J. K. Rowling quote: "Don't count your owls before they are delivered."
Don't count your owls before they are delivered. J. K. Rowling
