Doing Quotes (page 597)

This is the second day now that I do not know the result of the juegos he thought. But I must have confidence and I must be worthy of the great DiMaggio who does all things perfectly even with the pain of the bone spur in his heel. Ernest Hemingway
We may all be a peculiar lot...often broke, often dissatisfied because we're not doing more and better work...but we know how to have a ball that makes the rest of the world seem square. Vincent Price
Underground. Which I hate. Like mines and tunnels and 13. Underground, where I dread dying, which is stupid because even if I die aboveground, the next thing they'll do is bury me underground anyway. Suzanne Collins
Suzanne Collins quote: "No one knows what to do with you, girlie."
No one knows what to do with you, girlie. Suzanne Collins
I guess I've been waiting so long I'm looking for perfection. That makes it tough."Waiting for perfect love?"No, even I know better than that. I'm looking for selfishness. Like, say I tell you I want to eat strawberry shortcake. And you stop everything you're doing and run out and buy it for me. And you come back out of breath and get down on your knees and hold this strawberry shortcake out to me. And I say I don't want it anymore and throw it out the window. That's what I'm looking for. Haruki Murakami
Jack London quote: "I'll have you know I do the swearing on this ship. If I need..."
I'll have you know I do the swearing on this ship. If I need your assitance I'll call you." Capt. Wolf Larsen Jack London
Rock bottom is an inability to cope with the commonplace that is so extreme it makes even the grandest and loveliest things unbearable...Rock bottom is everything out of focus. It's a failure of vision, a failure to see the world as it is, to see the good in what it is, and only to wonder why the hell things look the way they do and not some other way. Elizabeth Wurtzel
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "Hammer and tongs! I am so torn between rage and joy, that if I..."
Hammer and tongs! I am so torn between rage and joy, that if I do not burst, it will be a marvel! J. R. R. Tolkien
Joseph Conrad quote: "She feared the unknown as we all do, and her ignorance made..."
She feared the unknown as we all do, and her ignorance made the unknown infinitely vast. Joseph Conrad
I don't kill people. Perhaps it's just another inhibition to do away with it. Perhaps not. There's really no way of telling. It's possible I've just never been able to well up enough interest in any person to care long enough to end their life. I'd much rather avoid them altogether. Most of them. It's 4 A. M. and the sky is beautiful up and away from this room and this bed and the oppressive inevitability of sleep. I HATE SLEEP. But sleep always comes (that, or madness). Jhonen Vasquez
My duty moves along with my song: I am I am not: that is my destiny. I exist not if I do not attend to the painof those who suffer: they are my pains. For I cannot be without existing for all, for all who are silent and oppressed, I come from the people and I sing for them: my poetry is song and punnishment. Pablo Neruda
Wendell Berry quote: "If you can read and have more imagination than a doorknob,..."
If you can read and have more imagination than a doorknob, what need do you have for a 'movie version' of a novel? Wendell Berry
Look man, we'd probably most of us agree that these are dark times, and stupid ones, but do we need fiction that does nothing but dramatize how dark and stupid it is? In dark times, the definition of good art would seem to be art that locates and applies CPR to those elements of what's human and magical that still live and glow despite the times' darkness. Really good fiction could have as dark a worldview as it wished, but it'd find a way both to depict this dark world AND to illuminate... David Foster Wallace
On this particular autumn night, only the prospect of another solitary evening lies before her. She will fry her chop and read herself to sleep, no doubt with a tale of wizardry and romance. Then, in dreams that strike even her as trite, Miss Dark will go adventuring in chain mail and silk. Tomorrow morning she will wake up alone, and do it all again. Poor Judy Dark! Poor little librarians of the world, those girls, secretly lovely, their looks marred forever by the cruelty of a pair of big... Michael Chabon
Elizabeth Gilbert quote: "Look--I understand that an unexamined life is not worth..."
Look--I understand that an unexamined life is not worth living, but do you think I could someday have an unexamined lunch? Elizabeth Gilbert
