Canned Quotes (page 974)

I was born with more power inside myself than I ever dreamed. But along with it there came no more sense than any other idiotic kid. Somewhere along in here I need to grow up into a man I can stand to live with. A man who doesn't just survive, but deserves to. (Danny North/Silverman/Stone) Orson Scott Card
Paulo Coelho quote: "We live in a vale of tears...We can have all the dreams we..."

Frank Herbert quote: "When you imagine mistakes, there can be no self-defense."
When you imagine mistakes, there can be no self-defense. Frank Herbert
I got entangled in my own data, and my conclusion directly contradicts the original idea from which I start. Starting from unlimited freedom, I conclude with unlimited despotism. I will add, however, that apart from my solution of the social formula, there can be no other. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Haruki Murakami quote: "The ground we stand on looks solid enough, but if something..."

They can print statistics and count the populations in hundreds of thousands, but to each man a city consists of no more than a few streets, a few houses, a few people. Remove those few and a city exists no longer except as a pain in the memory, like a pain of an amputated leg no longer there. Graham Greene
But no one can lose sight of what he desires. Even if there are moments when he believes the world and the others are stronger. The secret is this: do not surrender. Paulo Coelho
You can have tons of talent, but it won't necessarily keep you fed. If you have sharp instincts, through, you'll never go hungry. Haruki Murakami
Anything outside yourself, this you can see and apply your logic to it. But it’s a human trait that when we encounter personal problems, these things most deeply personal are the most difficult to bring out for our logic to scan. We tend to flounder around, blaming everything but the actual, deep-seated thing that’s really chewing on us. Frank Herbert
Helen Fielding quote: "You can't be ironic about dead people."
You can't be ironic about dead people. Helen Fielding
Haruki Murakami quote: "If there’s something I can’t do but want to, I won’t relax..."
If there’s something I can’t do but want to, I won’t relax until I’m able to do it. Haruki Murakami
Robert Musil quote: "[...] a number of flawed individuals can often add up to a..."
[...] a number of flawed individuals can often add up to a brilliant social unit. Robert Musil
I know this - a man got to do what he got to do, I can't tell you. I don't think they's luck or bad luck. On'y one thing in the worl' I'm sure of, an' that's I'm sure nobody got a right to mess with a fella's life. He got to do it all hisself, Help im, maybe, but not tell him what to do. John Steinbeck
You get them wrong before you meet them, while you're anticipating meeting them; you get them wrong while you're with them; and then you go home to tell somebody else about the meeting and you get them wrong all again...That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong. Maybe the best thing would be to forget being right or wrong about people and just go along for the ride. But if you can do that- well, lucky you. Philip Roth
