Choose Me Quotes (page 7)

i'm in a muddle about a lot of things -- i've just discovered that i've a mind, and i'm starting to read"read what?"everything. i have to pick and choose, of course, but mostly things that make me think. F. Scott Fitzgerald
In uncertainty I am certain that underneath their topmost layers of frailty men want to be good and want to be loved. Indeed, most of their vices are attempted short cuts to love. When a man comes to die, no matter what his talents and influence and genius, if he dies unloved his life must be a failure to him and his dying a cold horror. It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try to live so that our death brings... John Steinbeck
Tupac Shakur quote: "I didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose me."
I didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose me. Tupac Shakur
Judith Viorst quote: "If his mother was drowning and I was drowning and he had to..."
If his mother was drowning and I was drowning and he had to choose one of us to save, He says he'd save me. Judith Viorst
The truth is that wherever you go, people want ideas, want language, want discussion, want space to share and to talk. The Web is great but there is nothing better than people in a room together. I used to be a bit dubious about all these literary festivals happening all the time, but this last visit to Sydney has convinced me of how important, and necessary they are. There is a collective hunger for real things? a kind of self-administered antidote to consumerism and spin. Yes, people spend... Jeanette Winterson
What is the good of words if they aren't important enough to quarrel over? Why do we choose one word more than another if there isn't any difference between them? If you called a woman a chimpanzee instead of an angel, wouldn't there be a quarrel about a word? If you're not going to argue about words, what are you going to argue about? Are you going to convey your meaning to me by moving your ears? The Church and the heresies always used to fight about words, because they are the only thing... Gilbert K. Chesterton
For me, life offers so many complexly appealing moments that two beautiful objects may be equally beautiful for different reasons and at different times. How can one choose? Diane Ackerman
Now I take care of animals. I go to their homes while their owners are away and feed them and groom them and play with them. They don't ask a lot of questions or expect much from me, and I don't have to interact with people any more than I choose to. At least most of the time. Bill Bennett
Jodi Picoult quote: "Believe me, Being gay is not a choice. Noone would choose to..."
Believe me, Being gay is not a choice. Noone would choose to make life harder than it has to be. Jodi Picoult
Carl Jung quote: "I am not what happens to me. I choose who I become."
I am not what happens to me. I choose who I become. Carl Jung
I cannot choose but adhere to the word of God, which has possession of my conscience; nor can I possibly, nor will I even make any recantation, since it is neither safe nor honest to act contrary to conscience! Here I stand; I cannot do otherwise, so help me God! Amen. Martin Luther
I couldn't help wondering, is my husband so unattractive that no woman has ever wanted him? Except me, of course. I must have wanted him, in a way, once, but I've forgotten why, and I was too young to know what I was choosing. Graham Greene
The notion of the perfect whole, the ultimate solution in which all good things coexist, seems to me not merely unobtainable--that is a truism--but conceptually incoherent. ......Some among the great goods cannot live together. That is a conceptual truth. We are doomed to choose, and every choice may entail an irreparable loss. Isaiah Berlin
Ernest Hemingway quote: "I never had to choose my subject- my subject rather chose me."
I never had to choose my subject- my subject rather chose me. Ernest Hemingway
I have found it very important in my own life to try to let go of my wishes and instead to live in hope. I am finding that when I choose to let go of my sometimes petty and superficial wishes and trust that my life is precious and meaningful in the eyes of God something really new, something beyond my own expectations begins to happen for me. (Finding My Way Home) Henri Nouwen
