Completing Quotes (page 35)

There was a beauty here bigger than the hurtling beauty of basketball, a beauty refined from country pastures, a game of solitariness, of waiting, waiting for the pitcher to complete his gaze toward first base and throw his lightning, a game whose very taste, of spit and dust and grass and sweat and leather and sun, was America. John Updike
He was completely integrated now and he took a good long look at everything. Then he looked up at the sky. There were big white clouds in it. He touched the palm of his hand against the pine needles where he lay and he touched the bark of the pine trunk that he lay behind. Ernest Hemingway
All my life, in nameless, indeterminate ways, I'd tried to complete my life with someone else--first my father, then Hugh, even Whit, and I didn't want that anymore. I wanted to belong to myself. Sue Monk Kidd
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "I am Jack's complete lack of surprise."
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise. Chuck Palahniuk
Suzanne Collins quote: "if he goes and dies on me now, I know I'll go completely insane."
if he goes and dies on me now, I know I'll go completely insane. Suzanne Collins
My house completed, and tried and not wanting by a first Cape Cod year, I went there to spend a fortnight in September. The fortnight ending, I lingered on, and as the year lengthened into autumn, the beauty and mystery of this earth and outer sea so possessed and held me that I could not go. The world to-day is sick to its thin blood for lack of elemental things, for fire before the hands, for water welling from the earth, for air, for the dear earth itself underfoot. In my world of beach... Henry Beston
At the time, sword and sorcery stories were quite popular. There were female warriors waving swords around as well, but the genre is populated entirely with people who have absolutely no responsibility to anyone, so I knew my story would have to be completely different from any of these. Hayao Miyazaki
Quite quickly I grew less deranged. I had begun the process of calming down, assimilating and compromising, which is necessary to live comfortably in the world as it is, and probably is why its imbalance never changes. But underneath, my idea of life was completely altered. Helen Fielding
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "Human existence basically isa never to be completed imperfect..."
Human existence basically isa never to be completed imperfect tense. Friedrich Nietzsche
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "I let go. Lost in oblivion. Dark and silent and complete. I..."
I let go. Lost in oblivion. Dark and silent and complete. I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom. Chuck Palahniuk
At some point, Wax mentioned how appalling it seemed that those brilliant minds who could invent miracle medicines and nuclear fission and dazzling computer special effects, they had such a complete lack of imagination when it came to spending their money: granite countertops and luxury cars. Talking about that stuff, Wax driving, the madder he got, you could watch the speedo creep up past eighty, ninety, a hundred. Chuck Palahniuk
Tennessee Williams quote: "Openings come quickly, sometimes, like blue space in running..."
Openings come quickly, sometimes, like blue space in running clouds. A complete overcast, then a blaze of light.... Tennessee Williams
Karl Marx got a bum rap. All he was trying to do was figure out how to take care of a whole lot of people. Of course, socialism is just “evil” now. It’s completely discredited, supposedly, by the collapse of the Soviet Union. I can’t help noticing that my grandchildren are heavily in hock to communist China now, which is evidently a whole lot better at business than we are. You talk about the collapse of communism or the Soviet Union. My goodness, this country collapsed in 1929. I mean it... Kurt Vonnegut
Nothing more can be attempted than to establish the beginning and the direction of an infinitely long road. The pretension of any systematic and definitive completeness would be, at least, a self-illusion. Perfection can here be obtained by the individual student only in the subjective sense that he communicates everything he has been able to see. Georg Simmel
Alan Perlis quote: "Programmers are not to be measured by their ingenuity and..."
Programmers are not to be measured by their ingenuity and their logic but by the completeness of their case analysis. Alan Perlis
