Being There Quotes (page 95)

There is nothing nicer than nodding off while reading. Going fast asleep and then being woken by the crash of the book on the floor, then saying to yourself, well it doesn't matter much. An admirable feeling. A. J. P. Taylor
There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers. Richard P. Feynman
Be still: There is no longer any need of comment. It was a lucky wind. That blew away his halo with his cares, A lucky sea that drowned his reputation. Thomas Merton
There were six dolls to be taken up and dressed every morning, for Beth was a child still, and loved her pets as well as ever. Not one whole or handsome one among them; all were outcasts till Beth took them in; for, when her sisters outgrew these idols, they passed to her.... Beth cherished them all the more tenderly for that very reason, and set up a hospital for infirm dolls. No pins were ever stuck into their cotton vitals; no harsh words or blows were ever given them; no neglect ever... Louisa May Alcott

It is a phenomenon recorded again and against in the history of popular movements against injustice all over the world. Howard Zinn
There is only one hopeful suggestion that I can give you: By the essence and nature of existence, contradictions cannot exist. If you find it inconceivable that an inventor of genius should be abandoned among ruins, and that a philosopher should wish to work as a cook in a diner--check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong. Ayn Rand
William Golding quote: "There ought to be some mode of life where all love is good,..."
There ought to be some mode of life where all love is good, where one love can't compete with another but adds to it. William Golding
John Steinbeck quote: "There is a great deal to be seen in the tilt of a hat on a man."

Rumi quote: "There is little one can say about love. It has to be lived,..."
There is little one can say about love. It has to be lived, and it's always in motion. Rumi
There is more than one kind of freedom, said Aunt Lydia. Freedom to and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom to. Now you are being given freedom from. Don't underrate it. Margaret Atwood

There will be plenty of time to sleep once you are dead Benjamin Franklin
