Counting Quotes (page 26)

Some lurid things have been said about me—that I am a racist, a hopeless alcoholic, a closet homosexual and so forth—that I leave to others to decide the truth of. I'd only point out, though, that if true these accusations must also have been true when I was still on the correct side, and that such shocking deformities didn't seem to count for so much then. Arguing with the Stalinist mentality for more than three decades now, and doing a bit of soapboxing and street-corner speaking on and... Christopher Hitchens
All's ringing, roaring, grinding, breakers' crash - and silence all at once, release:it means he is tiptoeing over pine needles,so as not to startle the light sleep of space.And it means he is counting the grainsin the blasted ears; it meanshe has come again to the Daryal Gorge,accursed and black, from another funeral.And again Moscow, where the heart's fever burns.Far off the deadly sleighbell chimes,someone is lost two steps from homein waist-high snow. The worst of times... Anna Akhmatova
Faith forged in the furnace of trials and tears is marked by trust and testimony.Only God can count the sacrifice; only God can measure the sorrow; only God can know the hearts of those who serve Him. Thomas S. Monson
What if we gave fifty percent of our discretionary budget to the world’s poor and then counted on the moral power of that action to protect us? Anne Lamott
No person, trying to take responsibility for her or his identity, should have to be so alone. There must be those among whom we can sit down and weep, and still be counted as warriors. Adrienne Rich
Freya Stark quote: "The beckoning counts, not the clicking latch behind you"

I have notes in my bathroom, yellow notes, and I stick 'em on the mirror, things that happened that were uplifting boosters for me. Notes that say, "Today is special, make today count." And then I have one note on the mirror in the middle that says, "Look at the other notes. Burt Bacharach

There must be those among whom we can sit down and weep and still be counted as warriors. Adrienne Rich
Important thing is not the me that's lying here, but the me that's sitting on the edge of the bed looking back at me, and the me that's downstairs cooking supper, or out in the garage under the car, or in the library reading. All the new parts, they count. I'm not really dying today. No person ever died that had a family. Ray Bradbury

Philosophy cannot be taught; it is the application of the sciences to truth? Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo Alexander Dumas
The Samuel Josephs were not a family. They were a swarm. The moment you entered the house they cropped up and jumped out at you from under the tables, through the stair rails, behind the doors, behind the coats in the passage. Impossible to count them: impossible to distinguish between them. Katherine Mansfield
Jodi Picoult quote: "I wonder if the conversations you've never had with someone..."
I wonder if the conversations you've never had with someone count, if you've been over them a thousand times in your mind. Jodi Picoult
The loadstar of a saint is God Himself, not estimated usefulness. It is the work that God does through us that count, not what we do for him. Oswald Chambers
Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering its a... Terence McKenna
It was Sunday, and Mumma had gone next door with Lena and the little ones. Under the pepper tree in the yard Pa was sorting, counting, the empty bottles he would sell back: the bottles going clink clink as Pa stuck them in the sack. The fowls were fluffing in the dust and sun: that crook-neck white pullet Mumma said she would hit on the head if only she had the courage to; but she hadn't. Patrick White
