Convenient Quotes

Conveniently then he can forget it all exists. And, after a time only a general notion will remain in his mind, that there are places where he doesn't belong, and those where he seems to fall right in. Chris Ware
Robert Wilson Lynd quote: "The telephone is the greatest nuisance among conveniences, the..."
The telephone is the greatest nuisance among conveniences, the greatest convenience among nuisances. Robert Wilson Lynd
She left me the way people leave a hotel room. A hotel room is a place to be when you are doing something else. Of itself it is of no consequence to one's major scheme. A hotel room is convenient. But its convenience is limited to the time you need it while you are in that particular town on that particular business; you hope it is comfortable, but prefer, rather, that it be anoymous. It is not, after all, where you live. Toni Morrison
Ovid quote: "It is convenient that there be gods, and, as it is convenient,..."
It is convenient that there be gods, and, as it is convenient, let us believe there are. Ovid
We're not children here. The law is-how should I put it? A convenience. Or a convenience for some people, and an inconvenience for other people. Paul Castellano
A Bird came down the Walk – He did not know I saw – He bit an Angleworm in halves And ate the fellow, raw, And then he drank a Dew From a convenient Grass – And then hopped sidewise to the Wall To let a Beetle pass – ... Emily Dickinson
pulled into my convenient neighborhood fast food restaurant. I ordered shrimp salad, onion rings, and a beer. The shrimp were straight out of the freezer, the onion rings soggy. Looking around the place, though, I failed to spot a single customer banging on a tray or complaining to a waitress. So I shut up and finished my food. Expect nothing, get nothing. Haruki Murakami
[God] will not be used as a convenience. Men or nations who think they can revive the Faith in order to make a good society might just as well think they can use the stairs of heaven as a shortcut to the nearest chemist's shop. C. S. Lewis
Automobiles are often conveniently tagged as the villains responsible for the ills of cities and the disappointments and futilities of city planning. But the destructive effect of automobiles are much less a cause than a symptom of our incompetence at city building. Jane Jacobs
...the Germans love frankness and honesty. It is so convenient to be frank and honest. This confidingness, this complacence, this showing the cards of German honesty, is probably the most dangerous and most successful disguise which the German is up to nowadays. Friedrich Nietzsche
To all accusations of excessive development the administrators can reply, as they will if pressed hard enough, that they are giving the public what it wants, that their primary duty is to serve the public not preserve the wilds. "Parks are for people" is the public relations slogan, which decoded means that the parks are for people-in-automobiles. Behind the slogan is the assumption that the majority of Americans, exactly like the managers of the tourist industry, expect and demand to see... Edward Abbey
I looked for any footmarks of course, but naturally, with all this rain, there wasn't a sign. Of course, if this were a detective story, there'd have been a convenient shower exactly an hour before the crime and a beautiful set of marks which could only have come there between two and three in the morning, but this being real life in a London November, you might as well expect footprints in Niagara. I searched the roofs right along—and came to the jolly conclusion that any person in any... Dorothy L. Sayers
Aldous Huxley quote: "Science [is] that wonderfully convenient personification of..."
Science [is] that wonderfully convenient personification of the opinions, at a certain date, of Professors X, Y, and Z.... Aldous Huxley
His conversation was in free and easy defiance of Murray's Grammar, and was garnished at convenient intervals with various profane expressions, which not even the desire to be graphic in our account shall induce us to transcribe. Harriet Beecher Stowe
Bram Stoker quote: "It is wonderful what tricks our dreams play us, and how..."
It is wonderful what tricks our dreams play us, and how conveniently we can imagine. Bram Stoker
