Coming Quotes (page 104)

Even years afterward I suffered from the tormenting fancy that the huge man, my father, the ultimate authority, would come almost for no reason at all and take me out of bed in the night and carry me out onto the pavlatche, and that consequently I meant absolutely nothing as far as he was concerned. Franz Kafka
Steven Wright quote: "If Dracula can't see his reflection in a mirror, how come his..."
If Dracula can't see his reflection in a mirror, how come his hair is always so neatly combed? Steven Wright
Just put one foot in front of the other and don't worry about the length of the path. Once you get on that path, and the longer you stay on it, there eventually will come a time when you will not turn back. Martina Navratilova
Anthony Hecht quote: "Doctors of Science, what is man that he. Should hope to come..."
Doctors of Science, what is man that he. Should hope to come to a good end? The best is not to have been born. Anthony Hecht
Like Connor, Alex protected me -and he was the only person I let close enough to do it. Like Connor, Alex could finish my sentences before I did. But unlike Connor, for whom I had ultimately come too late, I was just in time to take care of Alex. Jodi Picoult
To feel beauty is a better thing than to understand how we come to feel it. To have imagination and taste, to love the best, to be carried by the contemplation of nature to a vivid faith in the ideal, all this is more, a great deal more, than any science can hope to be. George Santayana
Everything has strings leading to everything else. We're all so tied together. We're all in a net, the net is waiting, and we're pushed into it by one single desire. You want a thing and it's precious to you. Do you know who is standing ready to tear it out of your hands? You can't know, it may be so involved and so far away, but someone is ready, and you're afraid of them all. And you cringe and you crawl and you beg and you accept them--just so they'll let you keep it. And look at whom you... Ayn Rand
The basis of all reasoning is the mind's awareness of itself. What we think, the external objects we perceive, are all like actors that come on and off stage. But our consciousness, the stage itself, is always present to us. Trey Parker
It seems obvious to me now? though I have been slow, I must say, in coming to the conclusion? that the institution of private property is one of the main things that have given man that limited amount of free-and-equalness that Marx hoped to render infinite by abolishing this institution. Strangely enough Marx was the first to see this. He is the one who informed us, looking backwards, that the evolution of private capitalism with its free market had been a precondition for the evolution of... Max Eastman
I used the phrase 'a certain age.' What I mean by this is the age people are in their heads. It's usually thirty to thirty-four. Nobody is forty in their head. When it comes to your internal age, chin wattles and relentless liver spots mean nothing. Doug Coupland
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "You will burn and you will burn out; you will be healed and..."
You will burn and you will burn out; you will be healed and come back again. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Wally Lamb quote: "High School is like a sickness, but trust me, soon the fever..."
High School is like a sickness, but trust me, soon the fever breaks and you get over it." ~She's Come Undone Wally Lamb
As I contemplate all that you face in the world today, one word comes to my mind. It describes an attribute needed by all of us but one which you—at this time of your life and in this world–will need particularly. That attribute is courage. Thomas S. Monson
Helen Fielding quote: "It is proved by surveys that happiness does not come from..."
It is proved by surveys that happiness does not come from love, wealth, or power but the pursuit of attainable goals. Helen Fielding
If thou speakest not I will fill my heart with thy silence and endure it. I will keep still and wait like the night with starry vigiland its head bent low with patience. The morning will surely come, the darkness will vanish, and thy voice pour down in golden streams breaking through the sky. Then thy words will take wing in songs from every one of my birds' nests, and thy melodies will break forth in flowers in all my forest groves. Rabindranath Tagore
