Doing Quotes (page 1102)

How thin she is in her coffin, how sharp her nose has grown! Her eyelashes lie straight as arrows. And, you know, when she fell, nothing was crushed, nothing was broken! Nothing but that "handful of blood." A dessertspoonful, that is. From internal injury. A strange thought: if only it were possible not to bury her? For if they take her away, then... oh, no, it is almost incredible that they take her away! I am not mad and I am not raving - on the contrary, my mind was never so lucid - but... Fyodor Dostoevsky
Through compassion it is possible to recognize that the craving for love that people feel resides also in our own hearts, that the cruelty the world knows all too well is also rooted in our own impulses. Through compassion we also sense our hope for forgiveness in our friends' eyes and our hatred in their bitter mouths. When they kill, we know that we could have done it; when they give life, we know that we can do the same. For a compassionate person nothing human is alien: no joy and no... Henri Nouwen
When I say "narrative", I do not mean simply the plot, I mean considerably more. Plots and their shapes--the bare outlines of stories--were something I know J.R.R. Tolkien himself was interested in. When I was an undergraduate, I went to a course of lectures he gave on the subject--at least, I think that was the subject, because Tolkien was all but inaudible. He evidently hated lecturing, and I suspect he also hated giving his thoughts away. Diana Wynne Jones
James Patterson quote: "Sometimes being a leader isn’t about winning. Sometimes it’s..."
Sometimes being a leader isn’t about winning. Sometimes it’s about doing what’s right, instead of what’s powerful. James Patterson
You put me through hell. On purpose. Made me suffer. And there’s no end in sight. I don’t know what the fuck you’re doing, ace, but this Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde shit ain’t cutting it with me. Sylvia Day
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "What can any one person do?' he said. 'Each person does a..."
What can any one person do?' he said. 'Each person does a little something,' I said, 'and there you are. Kurt Vonnegut
I’m just sick of ego, ego, ego. My own and everybody else’s. I’m sick of everybody that wants to get somewhere, do something distinguished and all, be somebody interesting. It’s disgusting. J. D. Salinger
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "I do," she protested; "I want to stand on the street corner..."
I do," she protested; "I want to stand on the street corner like a sandwich man, informing all the passers-by. F. Scott Fitzgerald
If I, who am rhu'ad, do not break the laws," she said, "then no one will ever dare to break them, and our planet will stagnate in dead traditions. Marion Zimmer Bradley
There's nothing so strong as rage, except what makes you hold it in—that's stronger. It's a good thing not to answer your enemies. I scarcely ever do. Frances Hodgson Burnett
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May And summer's lease hath all too short a date William Shakespeare
John Quincy Adams quote: "If your actions inspire others to dream more, do more and..."
If your actions inspire others to dream more, do more and become more, you are a leader. John Quincy Adams
We wake from our doings in a deep sweat for that they happened in a house without an address, in a street in no town, citizened with people with no names with which to deny them. Their very lack of identity makes them ourselves. For by a street number, by a house, by a name, we cease to accuse ourselves. Sleep demands of us a guilty immunity. There is not one of us who, given an eternal incognito, a thumbprint nowhere set against our souls, would not commit rape, murder and all abominations. Djuna Barnes
C. S. Lewis quote: "All get what they want; they do not always like it."
All get what they want; they do not always like it. C. S. Lewis
Writing is not a serious business. It’s a joy and a celebration. You should be having fun with it. Ignore the authors who say ‘Oh, my God, what word? Oh, Jesus Christ…’, you know. Now, to hell with that. It’s not work. If it’s work, stop and do something else. Ray Bradbury
