Counting Quotes (page 12)

There is a bit [in Why Be Happy When You Could be Normal?] where I talk about 'keeping the heart awake to love and beauty.' That’s very difficult in our world, even when things are going well. It’s not a world with much room for love and beauty. The daily news is [filled with] everything that goes wrong in our world, and everything horrible and unpleasant. I think that saturates your mind with negativity. I really think we need something to counteract that. I don’t think it’s Pollyanna or... Jeanette Winterson

This is fish number six hundred and forty-one in a lifetime of goldfish. My parents bought me the first one to teach me about loving and caring for another living breathing creature of God.

The High Street was full of farmers, cows, and other animals, the majority of the former well on the road to intoxication. It is, of course, extremely painful to see a man in such a condition, but when such a person in endeavouring to count a perpetually moving drove of pigs, the onlooker's pain is sensibly diminished. P. G. Wodehouse
The laws of history are as absolute as the laws of physics, and if the probabilities of error are greater, it is only because history does not deal with as many humans as physics does atoms, so that individual variations count for more. Isaac Asimov
Philip James Bailey quote: "We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives, Who..."
We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives, Who thinks most, feels noblest, acts the best. Philip James Bailey
The boys on the island vary, of course, in numbers, according as they get killed and so on; and when they seem to be growing up, which is against the rules, Peter thins them out; but at this time there were six of them, counting the twins as two. J. M. Barrie
he counts to ten as quick as any man, I have seen him do it... though when he needs to go to twenty he does take off his boots. George R. R. Martin
The trees were still green, the sky still blue, which counted for something. So they went ahead and plugged their smelly paradise - God's Own Country they called it in their brochures - because they knew, those clever Hotel People, that smelliness, like other peoples' poverty, was merely a matter of getting used to. A question of discipline. Of Rigor and Air-conditioning. Nothing more. Arundhati Roy
Suzanne Collins quote: "I'm hard to catch. If they can't catch me they cant kill me...."
I'm hard to catch. If they can't catch me they cant kill me. So don't count me out."-Rue in The Hunger Games Suzanne Collins
Not the shadow of a doubt crossed my mind of the purpose for which the Count had left the theatre. His escape from us, that evening, was beyond all question the preliminary only to his escape from London. The mark of the Brotherhood was on his arm—I felt as certain of it as if he had shown me the brand; and the betrayal of the Brotherhood was on his conscience—I had seen it in his recognition of Pesca. Wilkie Collins
Well the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount, But nothing really matters much it's doom alone that counts. Bob Dylan
