Bit Quotes (page 51)

I think it's a bit like coming to the end of a book. The plot's in its thickest, all the characters are in a mess, but you can see that there aren't fifty pages left, and you know that the finish can't be far off. Herman Wouk
The continual cracking of your feet on the road makes a certain quantity of road come up into you. When a man dies they say he returns to clay but too much walking fills you up with clay far sooner (or buries bits of you along the road) and brings your death half-way to meet you. It is not easy to know what is the best way to move yourself from one place to another. Flann O'Brien
I spit on your happiness! I spit on your idea of life--that life that must go on, come what may. You are all like dogs that lick everything they smell. You with your promise of a humdrum happiness--provided a person doesn't ask much of life. I want everything of life, I do; and I want it now! I want it total, complete: otherwise I reject it! I will not be moderate. I will not be satisfied with the bit of cake you offer me if I promise to be a good little girl. I want to be sure of everything... Jean Anouilh
I believe this. When we meet those we fall in love with, there is an aspect of our spirit that is historian, a bit of a pedant who reminisces or remembers a meeting when the other has passed by innocently…but all parts of the body must be ready for the other, all atoms must jump in one direction for desire to occur. Michael Ondaatje
In the end, he had to admit, he didn't really understand her. He didn't understand women. He didn't understand men. He didn't even understand children very well. All he really understood, he thought, was himself and the rest of the universe. Neither anything like completely, of course, but both well enough to know that what remained to be discovered would make sense; it would fit in, it could all be gradually and patiently fitted together a bit at a time, like an infinite jigsaw puzzle, with... Iain Banks
J. K. Rowling quote: "Do I look stupid?" snarled Uncle Vernon, a bit of fried egg..."
Do I look stupid?" snarled Uncle Vernon, a bit of fried egg dangling from his bushy mustache. J. K. Rowling
Graham Greene quote: "One can't reason away regret-it's a bit like falling in love,..."
One can't reason away regret-it's a bit like falling in love, falling into regret. Graham Greene
in the high, old tottering voice that seemed to have been tuned and broken at the capstan bars. Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum. This, when it was brought to him, he drank slowly, like a connoisseur, lingering on the taste and still looking about him at the cliffs and up at our signboard. Robert Louis Stevenson
I was on the verge of jumping into one of those holes in life out of which we emerge a bit tattered and bloody, though we remain sure nonetheless that we had to make the jump. Jim Harrison
Martha Stewart quote: "As with all my new pets, I gently bit each kitten on the face...."
As with all my new pets, I gently bit each kitten on the face. This is how I let my animals know that I am now their mother. Martha Stewart
She is a waitress at his lordships club. My God! The Proletariat! The lower middle classes, sir. Well, yes, by stretching it a bit, perhaps. P. G. Wodehouse
You notice how they always put the fruit and veg at the entrance to the supermarket? You go in thinking 'this is a fresh shop, everything in here is FRESH! I will do well to shop here'. You never go straight to the bit with the toilet paper, loo brushes and such do you? You'd think 'this is a POO shop! Everything in here is themed on POO! Eddie Izzard
Susannah." My dance partner's breath was soft against my cheek. "Susannah...."Yeah. In my dreams. In real life, the voice calling my name wasn't a bit masculine. That's because it belonged to a twelve-year-old boy. Meg Cabot
Elaine Dundy quote: "That's the story of my life. Someone's behavior strikesme as..."
That's the story of my life. Someone's behavior strikesme as a bit odd and the next thing I know all hell breaks loose. Elaine Dundy
George R. R. Martin quote: "The rat squealed as he bit into it, squirming wildly in his..."
The rat squealed as he bit into it, squirming wildly in his hands, frantic to escape. George R. R. Martin
