Canned Quotes (page 1055)

Are you asking us to impregnate all the females on all the ships with your DNA, so that you can be sure of having progeny?"No!" said Ram in horror. "What a terrible thing for a woman, to wake up pregnant- a violation of trust. It would destroy all nineteen colonies."Not to mention being embarrassing when all the babies look like you. Orson Scott Card
It is a profoundly erroneous truism that we should cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing. The precise opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them. Alfred North Whitehead
if a woman doubts as to whether she should accept a man or not, she certainly ought to refuse him. If she can hesitate as to `Yes,' she ought to say `No' directly. It is not a state to be safely entered into with doubtful feelings, with half a heart. Jane Austen
Jane Austen quote: "Where the heart is really attached, I know very well how..."
Where the heart is really attached, I know very well how little one can be pleased with the attention of any body else. Jane Austen
The biggest moments of insecurity come when all self-confidence is lost and you feel like people are watching and judging. It should be the opposite. You should feel like the people who are watching care about you. This is something we can try to give each other? the feeling that eyes signal support, not disdain. Miley Cyrus
Have you ever experienced a pain so sharp in your heart that it's all you can do to take a breath? It's a pain you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy; you wouldn't want to pass it on to anyone else for fear he or she might not be able to bear it. It's the pain of being betrayed by a person with whom you've fallen in love. It's not as serious as death, but it feels a whole lot like it, and as I've come to learn, pain is pain any way you slice it. Chelsea Handler
That is what Reason can neither grasp nor endure, and what has offended all these men of outstanding talent who have been so received for so many centuries. Here they demand that God should act according to human justice, and do what seems right to them or else cease to be God. Martin Luther
James Clavell quote: "What can I do to help thee?" he asked."Believe there is a..."
What can I do to help thee?" he asked."Believe there is a tomorrow. James Clavell
...so bear in mind that majorities, especially respectable ones, are nine times out of ten in the wrong; and that if you see man or boy striving earnestly on the weak side, however wrong-headed or blundering he may be, you are not to go and join the cry against him. If you can't join him and help him, and make him wiser, at any rate remember that he has found something in the world which he will fight and suffer for.... Thomas Hughes
Louisa May Alcott quote: "But, Polly, a principle that can't bear being laughed at,..."
But, Polly, a principle that can't bear being laughed at, frowned on, and cold-shouldered, isn't worthy of the name. Louisa May Alcott
Why, I can smile and murder whiles I smile, And cry 'content' to that which grieves my heart, And wet my cheeks with artificial tears, And frame my face for all occasions William Shakespeare
What do we any of us live for but our illusions and what can we ask of others but that they should allow us to keep them? [The Sacred Flame] W. Somerset Maugham
You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making. As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses. . . I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death? if you aren't as big a bunch of... J. K. Rowling
Sigmund Freud quote: "The unconscious of one human being can react upon that of..."
The unconscious of one human being can react upon that of another without passing through the conscious. Sigmund Freud
Disquiet and desire. What you want and what you're scared to try for. Where you've been and where you want to go. Something in a rock-and-roll song about wanting the girl, the car, the place to stand and be. Oh please God can you dig it. Stephen King
