Coming Quotes (page 210)

You have waged bitter and undeclared war upon the green, gutting the rain forests, mile after mile, day after day, but know this: the war has come home! It is man's turn to embrace the scythe. Alan Moore
A small company is more welcome to me than a bad one: but they must come and go at the right time. So does it accord with good sleep. Friedrich Nietzsche
Charles Bukowski quote: "Why did I come here? I thought. Why is it always only a matter..."
Why did I come here? I thought. Why is it always only a matter of choosing between something bad and something worse? Charles Bukowski
There is a night that never comes to an end....The clock of the world turns under its own shadow. Midnight is a moving place, hurtling around the planet at a thousand miles an hour like a dark knike, cutting slices of daily bread off the endless loaf of Time. Terry Prachett
How sad. How frightening. To be filled with so much hate that you could not even rejoice in the healing of a child...How did anyone ever come to that point? Stephenie Meyer
But by the third year he had come to wonder whether Laura's purpose wasn't the shield behind which he was still hiding his own, even from himself. Philip Roth
You cast another bewildered look at the books around you (or, rather: it was the books that looked at you, with the bewildered gaze of dogs who, from their cages in the city pound, see a former companion go off on the leash of his master, come to rescue him) Italo Calvino
I'm glad I've been wrong enough to keep in practice. . . You can't avoid it, you've got to learn to handle it. If you only come face to face with your own mistakes once or twice in your life it's bound to be extra painful. I face mine every day--that way they ain't usually much worse than a dry shave. Larry McMurtry
Every new book I read comes to be a part of that overall and unitary book that is the sum of my readings...if you need little to set the imagination going, I require even less: the promise of reading is enough. Italo Calvino
Have you ever heard the phrase, Living well is the best revenge?"Where I come from, someone's head in a bag is generally considered the best revenge Lois McMaster Bujold
Arthur Conan Doyle quote: "- I have come for advice.- That is easily got.- And help.-..."
- I have come for advice.- That is easily got.- And help.- That is not always so easy.#The Five Orange Pips Arthur Conan Doyle
Sometimes you're overwhelmed when a thing comes, and you do not realize the magnitude of the affair at that moment. When you get away from it, you wonder, did it really happen to you. Marian Anderson
The strength I'm looking for isn't the type where you win or lose. I'm not after a wall that'll repel power coming from outside. What I want us the kind of strength to be able to absorb that kind of power, to stand up to it. The strength to quietly endure things - unfairness, misfortunes, sadness, mistakes, misunderstandings. Haruki Murakami
Samuel Taylor Coleridge quote: "What comes from the heart goes to the heart"
What comes from the heart goes to the heart Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And thinking about this, which I have done so much, I discover that I come around, by a back door, to another of the things that obsess me. I mean, of course, this question of ‘personality’. Heaven knows we are never allowed to forget that the ‘personality’ doesn’t exist any more. It’s the theme of half the novels written, the theme of the sociologists and all the other -ologists. We’re told so often that human personality has disintegrated into nothing under pressure of all our knowledge... Doris Lessing
