Can Do Quotes (page 87)

It's the same as a hereditary disease, weakness. No matter how much you understand it, there's nothing you can do to cure yourself. It's not going to go away with a clap of the hand. It just keeps getting worse and worse Haruki Murakami
Lewis Carroll quote: "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to..."
Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. - The Queen Lewis Carroll
It was not in my nature to be an assertive person. I was used to looking to others for guidance, for influence, sometimes for the most basic cues of life. And yet writing stories is one of the most assertive things a person can do. Fiction is an act of willfulness, a deliberate effort to reconceive, to rearrange, to reconstitute nothing short of reality itself. Even among the most reluctant and doubtful of writers, this willfulness must emerge. Being a writer means taking the leap from... Jhumpa Lahiri
America sometimes resembles, at least from the point of view of a black man, an exceedingly monotonous minstrel show; the same dances, same music, same jokes. One has done (or been) the show so long that one can do it in one’s own sleep. James Baldwin
Walt Whitman quote: "The press of my foot to the earth springs a hundred..."
The press of my foot to the earth springs a hundred affections, They scorn the best I can do to relate to them Walt Whitman
The best we can do then, in response to our incomprehensible and dangerous world, is to practice holding equilibrium internally - no matter what insanity is transpiring out there. Elizabeth Gilbert
The most punk-rock thing you can do in L.A. is to say ‘George Bush is fucking awesome’ instead of talking about how lame it is that he’s fighting for oil. Trey Parker
Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars... Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. Martin Luther King jr.
Time is clearly not our natural dimension. Thus it is that we are never really at home in time. Alternately, we find ourselves wishing to hasten the passage of time or to hold back the dawn. We can do neither, of course, but whereas the fish is at home in water, we are clearly not at home in time--because we belong to eternity. Neal A. Maxwell
Thomas S. Monson quote: "Thinking is the hardest work anyone can do, which is probably..."
Thinking is the hardest work anyone can do, which is probably the reason why we have so few thinkers. Thomas S. Monson
The flimsy little protestations that mark the front gate of every novel, the solemn statements that any resemblance to real persons living or dead is entirely coincidental, are fraudulent every time. A writer has no other material to make his people from than the people of his experience ... The only thing the writer can do is to recombine parts, suppress some characterisitics and emphasize others, put two or three people into one fictional character, and pray the real-life prototypes won't... Wallace Stegner
Remember this. Hold on to this. This is the only perfection there is, the perfection of helping others. This is the only thing we can do that has any lasting meaning. This is why we're here. To make each other feel safe. Andre Agassi
Marianne Moore quote: "I am hard to disgust, but a pretentious poet can do it"
I am hard to disgust, but a pretentious poet can do it Marianne Moore
When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there’s no need at all to understand what’s happening, because everything happens within you Paulo Coelho
I will love myself, and my body, for what it can do- because it is strong enough to lift, to walk, to ride a bicyle up a hill, to embrace the people I love and hold them fully, and to nurture a new life. I will love myself because I am sturdy. Because I did not -will not- break. Jennifer Weiner
