Could Quotes (page 386)

He was free, free in every way, free to behave like a fool or a machine, free to accept, free to refuse, free to equivocate; to marry, to give up the game, to drag this death weight about with him for years to come. He could do what he liked, no one had the right to advise him, there would be for him no Good or Evil unless he thought them into being. Jean-Paul Sartre
Distance and antiquity (the emphases of space and time) pull on our hearts. If we are already sobered by the thought that men lived two thousand five hundred years ago, how could we not be moved to know that they made verses, were spectators of the world, that they sheltered in light, lasting words something of their ponderous, fleeting life, words that fulfill a long destiny? Jorge Luis Borges
I fain would follow love, if that could be; I needs must follow death, who calls for me; Call and I follow, I follow! let me die. Alfred Lord Tennyson
Ivan Turgenev quote: "I was as happy as a fish in water, and I could have stayed in..."
I was as happy as a fish in water, and I could have stayed in that room for ever, have never left that place. Ivan Turgenev
Dor woke again as dawn came. The sun had somehow gotten around to the east, where the land was, and dried off so that it could shine again. Piers Anthony
You all know the argument from design: everything in the world is made just so that we can manage to live in the world, and if the world was ever so little different, we could not manage to live in it. That is the argument from design. It sometimes takes a rather curious form; for instance, it is argued that rabbits have white tails in order to be easy to shoot. I do not know how rabbits would view that application. Bertrand Russell
L. M. Montgomery quote: "After all, what could you expect from a pig but a grunt?"
After all, what could you expect from a pig but a grunt? L. M. Montgomery
This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being. Isaac Newton
Nay, could their numbers countervail the stars, Or ever-drizzling drops of April showers, Or wither'd leaves that autumn shaketh down, Yet would the Soldan by his conquering power. So scatter and consume them in his rage, That not a man should live to rue their fall. Christopher Marlowe
Life would go out in a 'fraction of a second' (that was the phrase), but all night he had been realizing that time depends on clocks and the passage of light. There were no clocks and the light wouldn't change. Nobody really knew how long a second of pain could be. It might last a whole purgatory--or for ever. Graham Greene
If Under fell, if Over leaped, If death was life and Death life reaped, Something rises from the gloom, To make the Underland a tomb Hear it scratching down below, Rat of long forgotten snow, Evil cloaked in coat of White, Will the Warrior drain your light? What could turn the Warrior week? What do burning Gnawers seek? Just a barely speaking pup That holds the Land of Under up Die the baby, die his heart Die his most essential part Die the peace that rules the hour, Gnawers have their... Suzanne Collins
She died--this was the way she died; And when her breath was done, Took up her simple wardrobe. And started for the sun. Her little figure at the gate. The angels must have spied, Since I could never find her. Upon the mortal side. Emily Dickinson
If I could only make her fall in love with me. Pretend to be a writer and just fuck her and have her cook for me. I would never have to write ?d just pretend. Charles Bukowski
No, she laughed." How on earth could that be done? If you try to laugh and say ‘No’ at the same time, it sounds like neighing — yet people are perpetually doing it in novels. If they did it in real life they would be locked up. Hilaire Belloc
It wasn't that Nanny Ogg sang badly. It was just that she could hit notes which, when amplified by a tin bath half full of water, ceased to be sound and became some sort of invasive presence. Terry Prachett
