Doing Quotes (page 545)

But if you are a poor creature--poisoned by a wretched up-bringing in some house full of vulgar jealousies and senseless quarrels--saddled, by no choice of your own, with some loathsome sexual perversion--nagged day in and day out by an inferiority complex that makes you snap at your best friends--do not despair. He knows all about it. You are one of the poor whom He blessed. He knows what a wretched machine you are trying to drive. Keep on. Do what you can. One day He will fling it on the... C. S. Lewis

John Fowles quote: "But forgetting's not something you do, it happens to you."
But forgetting's not something you do, it happens to you. John Fowles
When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind. Jiddu Krishnamurti

There’s nothing to hide behind. Ozzy Osbourne
Even now, I have a lot of trouble understanding why Sharon stayed – or why she married me in the first place, come to think of it. I mean, she was actually afraid of me half the time. And the truth was I was afraid of me, too. Afraid of what I’d do to myself or, even worse, to someone else. Ozzy Osbourne

I should have known that I wasn't meant for happiness and a life of ease. I have other work to do in the world. W. Somerset Maugham
Scott Hamilton quote: "What's the point of doing anything if it's easy? It's so much..."
What's the point of doing anything if it's easy? It's so much more valuable when a challenge has to be overcome. Scott Hamilton
No animal, according to the rules of animal-etiquette, is ever expected to do anything strenuous, or heroic, or even moderately active during the off-season of winter. Kenneth Grahame
It's more like...gravity moves. When you see her, suddenly it's not the earth holding you here anymore. She does. And nothing matters more than her.
