Being Quotes (page 584)

The problem was how to keep the wheels of industry turning without increasing the real wealth of the world. Goods must be produced, but they must not be distributed. And in practice the only way of achieving this was by continuous warfare. George Orwell
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "Asking Jean-Claude not to be a pain in the ass was like asking..."
Asking Jean-Claude not to be a pain in the ass was like asking rain not to be wet. Why try? Laurell K. Hamilton
O thou dissembling cub! what wilt thou be When time hath sow'd a grizzle on thy case? Or will not else thy craft so quickly grow, That thine own trip shall be thine overthrow? Farewell, and take her; but direct thy feet Where thou and I henceforth may never meet. William Shakespeare
Not that I’m crazy or anything, I just want some proof that death isn’t the end. Even if crazed zombies grabbed me in some dark hall one night, even if they tore me apart, at least that wouldn’t be the absolute end. There would be some comfort in that. Chuck Palahniuk
Simone de Beauvoir quote: "The sin of smiling whilst Louise was weeping, the sin of..."

In his heart every man knows quite well that, being unique, he will be in the world only once and that no imaginable chance will for a second time gather together into a unity so strangely variegated an assortment as he is: he knows it but hides it like a bad conscience. Friedrich Nietzsche
Whatever your life's pursuit -- art, poetry, sculpture, music, whatever your occupation may be -- you can be as spiritual as clergy, always living a life of praise. Hazrat Inayat Khan
That night, before going to bed, he went on to say, 'Never be afraid of thieves and murderers. They represent the dangers without, which are not worth worrying about. Be afraid of ourselves. Prejudices are the real thieves, vices are the murderers. The greatest dangers are within us. Who cares who threatens our heads or our purses! Let's think only of what threatens our souls. Victor Hugo
No, my son, do not aspire for wealth and labor not only to be rich. Strive instead for happiness, to be loved and to love, and most important to acquire peace of mind and serenity. Og Mandino
If you trust yourself, any choice you make will be correct. If you do not trust yourself, anything you do will be wrong.- Kung Fu, The Legend Continues - David Carradine
Not out of them are the shows of history erected: the world would be a grey, bloodless place were it composed entirely of Miss Schlegels. But the world being what it is, perhaps they shine out in it like stars. E. M. Forster
He knew he would have to believe in order to go where she had been; knew that, if he believed, he could go there even if it didn't exist, if it was make-believe. He moved the hand she had drawn around her down her long flesh, and with a little sound she pressed herself against him. He searched himself for that old will, long in disuse. If she went there, ever, he didn't want to be left behind; wanted to never be farther from than this. John Crowley
A society in which no one was conscious of himself as a person over against other persons, where none could say 'I love you' would, indeed, be free from selfishness, but not through love. It would be unselfish as a bucket of water is unselfish. C. S. Lewis

And some day, when you get sufficiently proficient in understanding the use of the term, you can tell by the outside pretty much from what's inside.[...] But everything that's ever going to be of use to you in architecture or in life or anywhere you go or whatever you do is going to be Nature, in... Frank Lloyd Wright
