Doing Quotes (page 1236)

Martin Luther King jr. quote: "If we do an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, we will be..."
If we do an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, we will be a blind and toothless nation. Martin Luther King jr.
He liked books if they were books of information and had pictures of grain elevators or of fat foreign children doing exercises in model schools. C. S. Lewis
W. Somerset Maugham quote: "Unfortunately sometimes one can't do what one thinks is right..."
Unfortunately sometimes one can't do what one thinks is right without making someone else unhappy. W. Somerset Maugham
There are times, however, and this is one of them, when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death? If making love might be fatal and if a cool spring breeze on any summer afternoon can turn a crystal blue lake into a puddle of black poison right in front of your eyes, there is not much left except TV and relentless masturbation. It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat shit and die. Hunter S. Thompson
Jodi Picoult quote: "I've always sort of wondered: If everyone else's opinion is..."
I've always sort of wondered: If everyone else's opinion is what matters, then do you ever really have one of your own? Jodi Picoult
Knowing too much about other people puts you in their power, they have a claim on you, you are forced to understand their reasons for doing things and then you are weakened. Margaret Atwood
At one time, the state of culture in Czechoslovakia was described, rather poignantly, as a 'Biafra of the spirit'. . . I simply do not believe that we have all lain down and died. I see far more than graves and tombstones around me. I see evidence of this in . . . expensive books on astronomy printed in a hundred thousand copies (they would hardly find that many readers in the USA) . . . Vaclav Havel
Ayn Rand quote: "If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing."
If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing. Ayn Rand
Ayn Rand quote: "If you don't know, the thing to do is not to get scared, but..."
If you don't know, the thing to do is not to get scared, but to learn. Ayn Rand
Becoming the beloved is pulling the truth revealed to me from above down into the ordinariness of what I am, in fact, thinking of, talking about and doing from hour to hour. Henri Nouwen
The place is good. How good, one must have circumnavigated the globe to discover. Why not stay? Take root? But roots are chains. I have a terror of losing my freedom. Free, without ties, unpossessed by any possessions, free to do as one will, to go at a moment's notice wherever the fancy may suggest--it is good. But so is this place. Might it not be better? To gain freedom one sacrifices something [...] and all that these things and people signify. One sacrifices something--for a greater gain... Aldous Huxley
Samuel Johnson quote: "We never do anything consciously for the last time without..."
We never do anything consciously for the last time without sadness of heart. Samuel Johnson
John Mellencamp quote: "It's what you do and not what you say. If you're not part of..."
It's what you do and not what you say. If you're not part of the future, then get out of the way! John Mellencamp
...What pleases us in those who are rising is less pleasing in those who are falling. We do not admire the combat when there is no danger; and in any case, the combatants of the first hour alone have the right to be the exterminators in the last. He who has not been a determined accuser during prosperity should hold his peace in adversity. He alone who denounces the success has a right to proclaim the justice of the downfall. Victor Hugo
Everything we do means something, Ender realized. Them laughing. Me not laughing. He toyed with the idea of trying to be like the other boys. But he couldn’t think of any jokes, and none of theirs seemed funny. Wherever their laughter came from, Ender couldn’t find such a place in himself. Orson Scott Card
