Doing Quotes (page 657)

Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are. Joss Whedon
We don’t need a list of rights and wrongs, tables of dos and don’ts: we need books, time, and silence. Thou shalt not is soon forgotten, but Once upon a time lasts forever. Philip Pullman
What should I do about the wild and the tame? The wild heart that wants to be free, and the tame heart that wants to come home. I want to be held. I don't want you to come too close. I want you to scoop me up and bring me home at nights. I don't want to tell you where I am. I want to keep a place among the rocks where no one can find me. I want to be with you. Jeanette Winterson

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height. My soul can reach Elizabeth Barrett Browning
If one's intellectual equipment was not great, one's spiritual experience not deep, the result of doing one's very best could only seem very lightweight in comparison with the effort involved. But perhaps that was not important. The mysterious power that commanded men appeared to him to ask of them only obedience and the maximum of effort and to remain curiously indifferent as to the results. Elizabeth Goudge

When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not; but my faculties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened. It is sad to go to pieces like this but we all have to do it. Mark Twain
Roald Dahl quote: "I'm right and you're wrong, I'm big and you're small, and..."
I'm right and you're wrong, I'm big and you're small, and there's nothing you can do about it. Roald Dahl
People who are overwhelmed with troubles never do look back. They know only too well that misfortune follows in their footsteps. Victor Hugo
Painting, by its nature, cannot provide an object of simultaneous collective reception... as film is able to do today... And while efforts have been made to present paintings to the masses in galleries and salons, this mode of reception gives the masses no means of organizing and regulating their response. Thus, the same public which reacts progressively to a slapstick comedy inevitably displays a backward attitude toward Surrealism. Walter Benjamin
And what was worst of all was that *It* drew his attention to itself not in order to make him take some action but only that he should look at *It*, look it straight in the face: look at it and without doing anything, suffer inexpressibly. And to save himself from this condition Ivan Ilych looked for consolations -- new screens -- and new screens were found and for a while seemed to save him, but then they immediately fell to pieces or rather became transparent, as if *It* penetrated them and... Leo Tolstoy
When we want to read of the deeds that are done for love, wither do we turn? To the murder column; and there we are rarely disappointed. George Bernard Shaw
Khalil Gibran quote: "And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor..."
And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue; Khalil Gibran
The brutes imagine they are doing me an honour in letting me sit down with them. They don't understand that it's an honour to them not to me! Fyodor Dostoevsky
