Doing Quotes (page 551)

One of the few things I know about writing is this: Spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book, or for another book, give it, give it all, give it now. Annie Dillard
T. S. Eliot quote: "Oh, do not ask, 'What is it?'/Let us go and make our visit."
Oh, do not ask, 'What is it?'/Let us go and make our visit. T. S. Eliot
This is what rituals are for. We do spiritual ceremonies as human beings in order to create a safe resting place for our most complicated feelings of joy or trauma, so that we don't have to haul those feelings around with us forever, weighing us down. Elizabeth Gilbert
She suddenly realized she was sitting in an apartment by herself late at night, eating an apple and watching a movie on TV that she cared nothing about, and doing it all because it was easier than thinking, thinking was so boring really, when all you had to think about was yourself and your lost love. Stephen King
Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color. I'm so glad I'm a Beta. Aldous Huxley
Christopher Hitchens quote: "To what faults do you feel most indulgent? To the ones that..."
To what faults do you feel most indulgent? To the ones that arise from urgent material needs. Christopher Hitchens
Francis Crick quote: "How do I know what I think until I hear what I say?"
How do I know what I think until I hear what I say? Francis Crick
Acting is the most minor of gifts and not a very high-class way to earn a living. After all, Shirley Temple could do it at the age of four. Katharine Hepburn
You mustn't get so upset about what you feel, Spud. No one's a hundred per cent consistent all the time. We might like to be. We can plan our lives along certain lines. But you know, there's no future in screwing down all the pressure valves and smashing in the gauge. You can do it for a bit and then something goes. Sometimes it gets s that the only thing is just to say, 'That's what I'd like to feel twenty-four hours a day; but, the hell with it, this is how I feel now. Mary Renault
Emily Dickinson quote: "For you know we do not mind our dress. When we are going home"
For you know we do not mind our dress. When we are going home Emily Dickinson
There is no right or wrong way to tell a story. You have to find your own way. You can get your idea from listening, looking, or imagining. Stories are everywhere. All you have to do is pay attention. Kate DiCamillo
Women lose their lives not knowing they can do something different...I claimed myself and remade my life. Only when I knew I belonged to myself completely did I become capable of giving myself to another, of finding joy in desire, pleasure in our love, power in this body no one else owns. Dorothy Allison
Walt Whitman quote: "I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become..."
I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the wounded person. Walt Whitman
Paris Hilton quote: "Wal-Mart, do they like, sell walls there?"
Wal-Mart, do they like, sell walls there? Paris Hilton
Why do men want to kill the bodies of other men? Women don't want to kill the bodies of other women, by and large. As far as we know. Here are some traditional reasons: Loot. Territory. Lust for power. Hormones. Adrenaline high. Rage. God. Flag. Honor. Righteous anger. Revenge. Oppression. Slavery. Starvation. Defense of one's life. Love; or, a desire to protect the women and children. From what? From the bodies of other men. What men are most afraid of is not lions, not snakes, not the dark,... Margaret Atwood
