Doing Quotes (page 853)

There's a difference between writing for a living and writing forlife. If you write for a living, you make enormous compromises.... If you write for life, you'll work hard; you'll do what's honest, not what pays Toni Morrison
Stephenie Meyer quote: "You're my life now and I will do anything to protect you."
You're my life now and I will do anything to protect you. Stephenie Meyer
He's back! He's back!"Who's back?" shouted someone else. "Who is it?"What does it mean? What should we do?"Are we on fire?"Get up and run, damn it! Everybody get up and run! Joseph Heller
I have changed my mind on a number of things, including almost everything having to do with Cuba, but the idea that we should be grateful for having been spared, and should shower our gratitude upon the supposed Galahad of Camelot for his gracious lenience in opting not to commit genocide and suicide, seemed a bit creepy. When Kennedy was shot the following year, I knew myself somewhat apart from this supposedly generational trauma in that I felt no particular sense of loss at the passing of... Christopher Hitchens
Confucius quote: "If you don't want to do something, don't impose on others"
If you don't want to do something, don't impose on others Confucius
The belief of God is not a matter of common sense, or logic, or argument, but of feeling. It is as impossible to prove the existence of God as to disprove it. I do not believe in God. I see no need of such an idea. It is incredible to me that there should be an after-life. I find the notion of future punishment outrageous and of future reward extravagant. I am convinced that when I die, I shall cease entirely to live; I shall return to the earth I came from. Yet I can imagine that at some... W. Somerset Maugham
I found in myself, and still find, an instinct toward a higher, or, as it is named, spiritual life, as do most men, and another toward a primitive rank and savage one, and I reverence them both. I love the wild not less than the good. Henry David Thoreau
Let me tell you something, Mari. The ground we stand on looks solid enough, but if something happens it can drop right out from under you. And once that happens, you've had it: things'll never be the same. All you can do is go on, living alone down there in the darkness... Haruki Murakami
For the best part of 40 years she had genuinely believed that not doing things would somehow prevent regret, when, of course, the exact opposite was true. Nick Hornby
Miley Cyrus quote: "Music is what I breathe, what I love to do. It keeps me alive."
Music is what I breathe, what I love to do. It keeps me alive. Miley Cyrus
If I'm a guy who doesn't seem so merry, It's just because I'm so misunderstood. When I was young I ate a dictionary, And that did not do me a bit of good. For I've absorbed so many words and phrases— They drive me dizzy when I want to speak. I start explaining but each person gazes As if I spoke in Latin or in Greek. Ira Gershwin
Charles Dickens quote: "I feel an earnest and humble desire, and shall do till I die,..."
I feel an earnest and humble desire, and shall do till I die, to increase the stock of harmless cheerfulness. Charles Dickens
Most often, our water is shut off because of some reconstruction project, either in our village or in the next one over. A hole is dug, a pipe is replaced, and within a few hours things are back to normal. The mystery is that it's so perfectly timed to my schedule. That is to say that the tap dries up at the exact moment I roll out of bed, which is usually between 10:00 and 10:30. For me this is early, but for Hugh and most of our neighbors it's something closer to midday. What they do at... David Sedaris
Sometimes, they say, the moon is so busy with the new souls of the world that it disappears from the sky. That is why we have moonless nights. But in the end, the moon always returns, as do we all. Mitch Albom
Paulo Coelho quote: "She was doing it because she had nothing to lose, because her..."
She was doing it because she had nothing to lose, because her life was one of constant, day to day frustration. Paulo Coelho
