Canned Quotes (page 680)

In a democracy, someone who fails to get elected to office can always console himself with the thought that there was something not quite fair about it. Thucydides
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered. Khalil Gibran
Just suppose that the dead do revisit the living. That something approximately to be described as Jim can return to see how George is making out. Would this be at all satisfactory? Would it even be worthwhile? At best, surely, it would be like the brief visit of an observer from another country who is permitted to peep in for a moment from the vast outdoors of his freedom and see, at a distance, through glass, this figure who sits solitary at the small table in the narrow room, eating his... Christopher Isherwood
And where, I ask you, can a man escape to, when he hasn’t enough madness left inside him? The truth is an endless death agony. The truth is death. You have to choose: death or lies. I’ve never been able to kill myself. Louis-Ferdinand Celine
I once saw a small child go to an electric light switch as say, "Mamma, can I open the light?" She was using the age-old language of exploration, the language of art. It was a sort of metaphor, but she was not using it as ornamentation. Ezra Pound
Charlie Sheen quote: "You can't beat me. I have the mind of a warlock with adonis..."
You can't beat me. I have the mind of a warlock with adonis DNA. Winning! Charlie Sheen
The fact is that in order to do anything in this world worth doing, we must not stand shivering on the bank thinking of the cold and the danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can. Sydney Smith
Paulo Coelho quote: "It is not time that changes man nor knowledge the only thing..."
It is not time that changes man nor knowledge the only thing that can change someone's mind is love. Paulo Coelho
Cory Doctorow quote: "Where there's life, there's hope. Living people can change..."
Where there's life, there's hope. Living people can change things, dead people cannot. Cory Doctorow
The willingness to undertake such action cannot be based on certainties, but on those possibilities glimpsed in a reading of history different from the customary painful recounting of human cruelties. In such a reading we can find not only war but resistance to war, not only injustice but rebellion against injustice, not only selfishness but self-sacrifice, not only silence in the fact of tyranny but defiance, not only callousness but compassion. Human beings show a broad spectrum of... Howard Zinn
It's not arrogant to say that you can't figure out the answers to the universe with your internal faith. It's not arrogant to know that there's no omniscient, omnipotent prime mover in the universe who loves you personally. It's not sad to feel that life and the love of your real friends and family is more than enough to make life worth living. Isn't it much sadder to feel that there is a more important love required than the love of the people who have chosen to spend their limited time with... Penn Jillette
I don't feel any shame I won't apologize if there ain't nowhere you can go running away from pain when you've been victimized tales from another broken home. Billie Joe Armstrong
Stephen Fry quote: "Wine can be a better teacher than ink, and banter is often..."
Wine can be a better teacher than ink, and banter is often better than books Stephen Fry
Meeting a stranger can be totally fleeting and meaningless, for example, unless you enter the individual’s world by finding out at least one thing that is meaningful to his or her life and exchange at lest one genuine feeling. Tuning in to others is a circular flow: you send yourself out toward people; you receive them as they respond to you. Deepak Chopra
Charles Kingsley quote: "Friendship is like a glass ornament, once it is broken it can..."
Friendship is like a glass ornament, once it is broken it can rarely be put back together exactly the same way. Charles Kingsley
