Begining Quotes (page 73)

Drinking is an emotional thing. It joggles you out of the standardism of everyday life, out of everything being the same. It yanks you out of your body and your mind and throws you against the wall. I have the feeling that drinking is a form of suicide where you're allowed to return to life and begin all over the next day. It's like killing yourself, and then you're reborn. I guess I've lived about ten or fifteen thousand lives now. Charles Bukowski
The wicked fear the good, because the good are a constant reproach to their consciences. The ungodly like religion in the same way that they like lions, either dead or behind bars; they fear religion when it breaks loose and begins to challenge their consciences. Fulton J. Sheen
Ian Mcewan quote: "He had never before felt so self-consciously young, nor..."
He had never before felt so self-consciously young, nor experienced such appetite, such impatience for the story to begin. Ian Mcewan
I have no profession. It is another example of my decadence. My attitude - quite an indefensible one - is that so long as I am no trouble to any one I have a right to do as I like. I know I ought to be getting money out of people, or devoting myself to things I don’t care a straw about, but somehow, I’ve not been able to begin.” “You are quite fortunate, it is quite a wonderful opportunity, the possession of leisure. E. M. Forster
Life's a lot different from what people pretend. That's why pretending is fun. I used to think it was some special wickedness of my own that made such queer things happen. Now I'm beginning to guess that everybody's like that. Christopher Morley
After weeks on the road, listening to a language you don’t understand, using a currency whose value you don’t comprehend, walking down streets you’ve never walked down before, you discover that your old “I,” along with everything you ever learned, is absolutely no use at all in the face of those new challenges, and you begin to realize that buried deep in your unconscious mind there is someone much more interesting and adventurous and more open to the world and to new experiences. Paulo Coelho
I think the highest forgiveness is to accept that creation is thoroughly tangled, with every possible quality given outlet for expression. People need to accept once and for all that there is only one life and each of us is free to shape it through the choices we make. Seeking can’t get anyone out of the tangle because everything is tangled up…it’s much easier to keep up the fight between good and evil, holy and profane, us and them. But as awareness grows, these opposites begin to calm... Deepak Chopra
Truman Capote quote: "Aprils have never meant much to me, autumns seem that season..."
Aprils have never meant much to me, autumns seem that season of beginning, spring. Truman Capote
Women, fire in their crotch, won't burn out, begin by fighting off pricks, end by going wild hunting for one that still works. John Updike
Elie Wiesel quote: "In the beginning there was faith - which is childish; trust -..."
In the beginning there was faith - which is childish; trust - which is vain; and illusion - which is dangerous. Elie Wiesel
ask yourself how many people you have met who grumbled at a thing as incurable, and how many who attacked it as curable? How many people we have heard abuse the British elementary schools, as they would abuse the British climate? How few have we met who realized that British education can be altered, but British weather cannot?...For a thousand that regret compulsory education, where is the hundred, or the ten, or the one, who would repeal compulsory education? …At the beginning of our epoch... Gilbert K. Chesterton
John Updike quote: "But it seems to me that once you begin a gesture it's fatal..."
But it seems to me that once you begin a gesture it's fatal not to go through with it. John Updike
Ron Paul quote: "Let the revolution begin."
Let the revolution begin. Ron Paul
People in the real world would kill for a happily ever after, and you're willing to just throw it away ?"I look away from her. "It's hardly a happily ever after when you wind up right at the beginning. Jodi Picoult
You've been brought up like a gentleman and a Christian, and I should be false to the trust laid upon me by your dead father and mother if I allowed you to expose yourself to such temptation.'Well, I know I'm not a Christian and I'm beginning to doubt whether I'm a gentleman,' said Philip. W. Somerset Maugham
