Between Quotes (page 74)

A close, daily intimacy between two people has to be paid for: it requires a great deal of experience of life, logic, and warmth of heart on both sides to enjoy each other’s good qualities without being irritated by each other’s shortcomings and blaming each other for them. Ivan Goncharov
William Strunk, Jr. quote: "3. Enclose parenthetic expressions between commas."
3. Enclose parenthetic expressions between commas. William Strunk, Jr.
She wanted to surprise everyone by her dash and originality, but she could not help modeling herself on the last person she met, and the confusion of ideals thus produced caused her much perturbation when she had to choose between two courses. Edith Wharton
Personally, I didn't take a single photograph while I was there, but that's not all that unusual for me. I suppose my aversion to snapping pictures may have something to do with shaky hands and blurry results, but there's another reason: The act of lifting up the camera and positioning it between me and the object of my interest separates me from the experience. Michael J. Fox
They want to be the agents, not the victims, of history. They identify with God's power and believe they are godlike. That is their basic madness. They are overcome by some archtype; their egos have expanded psychotically so that they cannot tell where they begin and the godhead leaves off. It is not hubris, not pride; it is inflation of the ego to its ultimate? confusion between him who worships and that which is worshipped. Man has not eaten God; God has eaten man. Philip K. Dick
Pablo Neruda quote: "I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret,..."
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul? Pablo Neruda
Simultaneously a frantic, high-tech juggernaut and a timeless Asian dream, Bangkok straddles like no other metropolis the boundary between acrid and sweet, soft and hard, sacred and profane. It’s a silk buzz saw, a lacquered jackhammer, a steel-belted seduction, a digital prayer. Tom Robbins
Charles Bukowski quote: "Why did I come here? I thought. Why is it always only a matter..."
Why did I come here? I thought. Why is it always only a matter of choosing between something bad and something worse? Charles Bukowski
Bob Marley quote: "beginnings are usually scary, and endings are usually sad, but..."
beginnings are usually scary, and endings are usually sad, but its everything in between that makes it all worth living. Bob Marley
They spoke very little of their mutual feeling; pretty phrases and warm expressions being probably unnecessary between such tried friends. Thomas Hardy
A simple man will have only what he needs, and he will know the difference between what he needs and what he wants. We feel that whatever we want, we desperately need. But before we possess the world, to our wide surprise we see that the world has already possessed us. Sri Chinmoy
It seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between two conflicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas...If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you? On the other hand, if you are open to the point of gullibility and have not an ounce of skeptical sense in you, then you cannot distinguish the useful ideas from the worthless ones. Carl Sagan
There's no way to convince her that just because you put half. planet between you and someone else, you can't drive that person out of your thoughts. Believe me. I've tried. Jodi Picoult
This is tantamount to saying, "My hand is weak. I cannot draw a straight line,—that is, a line which will be the shortest line between two given points,—and so, in order to make it more easy for myself, I, intending to draw a straight, will choose for my model a crooked line." The weaker my hand, the greater the need that my model should be perfect. Leo Tolstoy
Ninety percent of the children’s books patronize the child and say there’s a difference between you and me, so you listen to this story. I, for some reason or another, don’t do that. I treat the child as an equal. Dr. Seuss
