Decent Quotes (page 11)

But Aomame could never smile easily, or casually, in front of people. When she forced it, she ended up with a tight sneer, which made others even more tense and uncomfortable. Tamaki was different: she had a natural, cheerful smile. People meeting her for the first time immediately felt friendly toward her. In the end, though, disappointment and despair drove Tamaki to take her own life, leaving Aomame – who couldn’t manage a decent smile – behind. Haruki Murakami
Faith, thought O’LiamRoe. And not a decent creature among them thought to say that the only rule in it is for a man to have a fine, steady seat for an elephant. Dorothy Dunnett
The ultimate source is probably the tendency in some of us, part of our psychological inheritance from our far-distant ancestors, the tendency to look for extreme solutions, absolute truths, abstract answers. All fanatics and fundamentalists share this tendency, which is so alien and unpleasing to the rest of us. The theory says they must do such-and-such, so they do it, never mind the human consequences, never mind the social cost, never mind the terrible damage to the fabric of everything... Philip Pullman
Steig Larsson quote: "There were not so many physical threats that could not be..."
There were not so many physical threats that could not be countered with a decent hammer. Steig Larsson
But our trip was different. It was a classic affirmation of everything right and true and decent in the national character. It was a gross, physical salute to the fantastic possibilities of life in this country-but only for those with true grit. And we were chock full of that. Hunter S. Thompson
Poverty is the absence of all human rights. The frustrations, hostility and anger generated by abject poverty cannot sustain peace in any society. For building stable peace we must find ways to provide opportunities for people to live decent lives. Muhammad Yunus
The more I dim my eyes over print and frazzle my brain over abstract ideas, the more I appreciate the delight of being basically an animal wrapped in a sensitive skin: sex, the resistance of rock, the taste and touch of snow, the feel of the sun, good wine and a rare beefsteak and the company of friends around a fire with a guitar and lousy old cowboy songs. Despair: I'll never be a scholar, never be a decent good Christian. Just a hedonist, a pagan, a primitive romantic Edward Abbey
Lao Tzu quote: "How could a decent person ever rejoice in victory and delight..."
How could a decent person ever rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men Lao Tzu
David Foster Wallace quote: "Truly decent, innocent people can be taxing to be around."
Truly decent, innocent people can be taxing to be around. David Foster Wallace
You were faster than me. Better than me. I was too old and cautious. Any decent person who knos waht warfare is can never go into battle with a whole heart. But you didn't know. We made sure youo didn't know. You were reckless and brilliant and young. It's waht you were born for. Orson Scott Card
Any allegiance to a deity or concept or universal principal which put obedience above decent behavior toward an innocent human being evil. Dan Simmons
You couldn't get a decent drink in either of them, for a start. And the boredom you got in Heaven was almost as bad as the excitement you got in Hell. Terry Prachett
Paulo Coelho quote: "Because you believed I was capable of behaving decently, I did."
Because you believed I was capable of behaving decently, I did. Paulo Coelho
If a child shows himself to be incorrigible, he should be decently and quietly beheaded at the age of twelve, lest he grow to maturity, marry, and perpetuate his kind. Don Marquis
Haruki Murakami quote: "If you listen to the radio for a whole hour there's maybe one..."
If you listen to the radio for a whole hour there's maybe one decent song. The rest is mass-produced garbage Haruki Murakami
