Being Quotes (page 335)

I knew what was like to finally be seduced by the thing you hunted. Mine just happened to be a more traditional seduction. Okay, at least I was still among the living. Laurell K. Hamilton
I have a list of titles that I leave at the [library] desk, because they are bound to be written some day, and it's best to be ahead of the queue. Jeanette Winterson
This should be agony. I should be a mass of aching muscle - broken, spent, unable to move. And, were I an older man, I surely would ... ... but I'm a man of thirty - of twenty again. The rain on my chest is a baptism - I'm born again ... Frank Miller
Those promises we make to ourselves when we are younger, about how we mean to conduct our adult lives, can it be true we break every last one of them? All except for one, I suppose: the promise to judge ourselves by those standards, the promise to remember the child who would be so appalled by compromise, the child who would find jadedness wicked. Jonathan Lethem
Sherman Alexie quote: "Life is a constant struggle between being an individual and..."
Life is a constant struggle between being an individual and being a member of the community. Sherman Alexie
AMPLE make this bed. Make this bed with awe; In it wait till judgment break Excellent and fair. Be its mattress straight, Be its pillow round; Let no sunris? yellow noise Interrupt this ground. Emily Dickinson
Cease being intimidated by the argument that a right action is impossible because it does not yield maximum profits, or that a wrong action is to be condoned because it pays. Aldo Leopold
Henry David Thoreau quote: "To be right is more honorable than to be law abiding."
To be right is more honorable than to be law abiding. Henry David Thoreau
Trust me, I have not earned your dear rebuke, I love, as you would have me, God the most; Would lose not Him, but you, must one be lost, Nor with Lot's wife cast back a faithless look. Unready to forego what I forsook; This say I, having counted up the cost, This, tho' I be the feeblest of God's host, The sorriest sheep Christ shepherds with His crook. Yet while I love my God the most, I deem. That I can never love you overmuch; I love Him more, so let me love you too; Yea, as I apprehend it,... Christina G. Rossetti
I must tell you that I should really like to think there's something wrong with me- Because, if there isn't, then there's something wrong with the world itself-and that's much more frightening! That would be terrible. So I'd rather believe there is something wrong with me, that could be put right. T. S. Eliot
When the time comes to you at which you will be forced at last to utter the speech which has lain at the center of your soul for years, which you have, all that time, idiot-like, been saying over and over, you'll not talk about the joy of words. I saw well why the gods do not speak to us openly, nor let us answer. Till that word can be dug out of us, why should they hear the babble that we think we mean? How can they meet us face to face till we have faces? C. S. Lewis
The future of humanity is uncertain, even in the most prosperous countries, and the quality of life deteriorates; and yet I believe that what is being discovered about the infinitely large and infinitely small is sufficient to absolve this end of the century and millennium. What a very few are acquiring in knowledge of the physical world will perhaps cause this period not to be judged as a pure return of barbarism. Primo Levi
George W. Bush quote: "I can press when there needs to be pressed; I can hold hands..."
I can press when there needs to be pressed; I can hold hands when there needs to be -- hold hands. George W. Bush
James A. Garfield quote: "If wrinkles must be written on our brow, let them not be..."
If wrinkles must be written on our brow, let them not be written on our heart. The spirit should not grow old. James A. Garfield
Memory really matters...only if it binds together the imprint of the past and the project of the future, if it enables us to act without forgetting what we wanted to do, to become without ceasing to be, and to be without ceasing to become. Italo Calvino
