Borrowed Quotes (page 8)

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. Erma Bombeck
Man is physically as well as metaphysically a thing of shreds and patches, borrowed unequally from good and bad ancestors, and a misfit from the start. Ralph Waldo Emerson
all loans, in the eyes of honest borrowers, must eventually he repaid. All credit is debt. Proposals for an increased volume of credit, therefore, are merely another name for proposals for an increased burden of debt. They would seem considerably less inviting if they were habitually referred to by the second name instead of by the first. Henry Hazlitt
Haruki Murakami quote: "I didn't feel like I was in my own body; my body was just a..."
I didn't feel like I was in my own body; my body was just a lonely, temporary container I happened to be borrowing. Haruki Murakami
I don't wish to inhabit the world under false pretences. I'm relieved to have discovered my identity after being so confused about it for so many years. Why should people be afraid if I confide in them? Yet people will always be afraid and jealous of those who finally establish their identity; it leads them to consider their own, to seclude it, cosset it, for fear it may be borrowed or interfered with, and when they are in the act of protecting it they suffer the shock of realising that their... Janet Frame
The being called God...bears every mark of a veil woven by philosophical conceit, to hide the ignorance of philosophers even from themselves. They borrow the threads of its texture from the anthropomorphism of the vulgar. Percy Bysshe Shelley
Emily Giffin quote: "You see yourself as very average, ordinary. And there is..."
You see yourself as very average, ordinary. And there is nothing ordinary about you, Rachel." (Something Borrowed) Emily Giffin
The triumph of the written word is often attained when the writer achieves union and trust with the reader, who then becomes ready to be drawn into unfamiliar territory, walking in borrowed literary shoes so to speak, toward a deeper understanding of self or society, or of foreign peoples, cultures, and situations. Chinua Achebe
L. M. Montgomery quote: "Ah, well, let's not borrow trouble; the rate of interest is..."
Ah, well, let's not borrow trouble; the rate of interest is too high. L. M. Montgomery
The duty of planning tomorrow's work is today's duty; though its material is borrowed from the future, the duty, like all duties, is in the Present. C. S. Lewis
He was no longer quite sure whether anything he had ever thought or felt was truly his own property, or whether his thoughts were merely a common part of the world’s store of ideas which had always existed ready-made and which people only borrowed, like books from a library. Milan Kundera
When you need to borrow money the Mob seems like a better deal I think. 'You don't pay me back I break both yer legs.' Is that all? You won't take my house or wreck my credit rating? Fine where do I sign. Legs? Fine. You don't even have to sign anything. Craig Ferguson
And if one loves me for my judgement, memory, he does not love me, for I can lose these qualities without losing myself. Where, then, is this Ego, if it be neither in the body nor in the soul? And how love the body or the soul, except for these qualities which do not constitute me, since they are perishable? For it is impossible and would be unjust to love the soul of a person in the abstract and whatever qualities might be therein. We never, then, love a person, but only qualities. Let us,... Blaise Pascal
Ronnie Montrose quote: "I was too broke to buy a guitar so I more borrowed guitars..."
I was too broke to buy a guitar so I more borrowed guitars from friends. Ronnie Montrose
Dee Dee Myers quote: "No reporter is flying around in borrowed twin-engine airplanes."
No reporter is flying around in borrowed twin-engine airplanes. Dee Dee Myers
