Between Quotes (page 162)

Form often this good thought, that we are walking in this world between Paradise and Hell, and that our last step will place us in an eternal dwelling. We do not know which step will be our last, and so, in order to make our last step well, we must try to make all the others well. O holy and unending eternity! Blessed is he who thinks of you. Yes, for what do we play here in this world but a children's game for who knows how many days? It would be nothing whatever, if it were not the passage... Saint Francis de Sales
Nations are not communities and never have been. The history of any country, presented as the history of a family, conceals the fierce conflicts of interest (sometimes exploding, often repressed) between conquerors and conquered, masters and slaves, capitalists and workers, dominators and dominated in race and sex. And in such as world of conflict, a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people, as Albert Camus suggested, not to be on the side of the executioners. Howard Zinn
and don't tell me there isn't one bit of difference between null and space, because that's exactly how much difference there is Larry Wall
You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and all feeling of personality, because at every moment... Octave Mirbeau
Ellen Glasgow quote: "The only differnce between a rut and a grave is their dimensions."

Cormac McCarthy quote: "The world is quite ruthless in selecting between the dream and..."
The world is quite ruthless in selecting between the dream and the reality, even where we will not. Cormac McCarthy
To reach out to you when I'm in need, and to try to be here for you when you need me back. And to feel such tenderness when I look at you that I want to stand between you and all the world: and yet also to lift you up and carry you above the strong currents of life; and at the same time, I would be glad to stand always like this, at a distance, watching you, the beauty of you. Orson Scott Card
The function of the university is not simply to teach breadwinning, or to furnish teachers for the public schools, or to be a centre of polite society; if is, above all, to be the organ of that fine adjustment between real life and the growing knowledge of life, an adjustment from which forms the secret of civilization. W. E. B. Du Bois
As far as I was concerned men were something you had around the place, not particularly interesting, but quite harmless. I had never shown the slightest feeling for them, and apart from my never wearing a skirt, saw nothing else in common between us. Jeanette Winterson
Try to choose carefully, Arren, when the great choices must be made. {...} But each deed you do, each act, binds you to itself and to its consequences, and makes you act again and yet again. Then very seldom do you come upon a space, a time like this, between act and act, when you may stop and simply be. Ursula K. Le Guin
And I must believe that man has the power to know the right, to choose between good and evil and know that his choice has made a difference... Marion Zimmer Bradley
John Keats quote: "I must choose between despair and EnergyI choose the latter."
I must choose between despair and EnergyI choose the latter. John Keats
Salman Rushdie quote: "Sometimes we feel we straddle two cultures; at other times,..."
Sometimes we feel we straddle two cultures; at other times, that we fall between two stools. Salman Rushdie
I don't differentiate much, except in degree, between people who believe in religion from those who believe in astrology, magic or the supernatural. Andy Rooney
This point is often missed by evangelical feminists. They conclude that a difference in function necessarily involves a difference in essence; i. e., if men are in authority over women, then women must be inferior. The relationship between Christ and the Father shows us that this reasoning is flawed. One can possess a different function and still be equal in essence and worth. Women are equal to men in essence and in being; there is no ontological distinction, and yet they have a different... John Piper
