Doing Quotes (page 864)

The mountains are great stone bells; they clang together like nuns. Who shushed the stars? There are a thousand million galaxies easily seen in the Palomar reflector; collisions between and among them do, of course, occur. But these collisions are very long and silent slides. Billions of stars sift amont each other untouched, too distant even to be moved, heedless as always, hushed. The sea pronounces something, over and over, in a hoarse whisper; I cannot quite make it out. But God knows I... Annie Dillard
In a world of chance is there a better and a worse? We yield to a stranger's embrace or give ourselves to the waves; for the blink of an eyelid our vigilance relaxes; we are asleep; and when we awake, we have lost the direction of our lives. What are these blinks of an eyelid, against which the only defence is an eternal and inhuman wakefulness? Might they not be the cracks and chinks through which another voice, other voices, speak in our lives? By what right do we close our ears to them?... J. M. Coetzee
You say, it's dark. And in truth, I did place a cloud before your sun. But do you not see how the edges of the cloud are already glowing and turning light. Friedrich Nietzsche
I watch with envious eyes and mind, the single-souled who dare not feel. The wind that blows beyond the moon, who do not hear the fairy reel Neil Gaiman
Abraham Lincoln quote: "Anybody will do for you, but not for me. I must have somebody."
Anybody will do for you, but not for me. I must have somebody. Abraham Lincoln
John Updike quote: "It's been the same story ever since I can remember, ever since..."
It's been the same story ever since I can remember, ever since Wilson? the Republicans don't do a thing for the little man. John Updike
Hell man, I know very well you didn't come to me only to want to become a writer, and after all what do I really know about it except that you've got to stick to it with the energy of a benny addict. Jack Kerouac
Michael Cunningham quote: "This is what you do. You make a future for yourself out of the..."
This is what you do. You make a future for yourself out of the raw material at hand. Michael Cunningham
You're alive, Bod. That means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything. If you can change the world, the world will change. Potential. Once you're dead, it's gone. Over. You've made what you've made, dreamed your dream, written your name. You may be buried here, you may even walk. But that potential is finished. Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman quote: "Because,' she said, 'when you're scared but you still do it..."
Because,' she said, 'when you're scared but you still do it anyway, that's brave. Neil Gaiman
You can't quantify love, and if you try, you can end up focusing on misleading factors. Stuff that really has more to do with personality-the fact that some people are simply more expressive or emotional or needy in a relationship. But beyond such smokescreens, the answer is there. Love is seldom-almost never-an even proposition. Emily Giffin
I don't remember when exactly I read my first comic book, but I do remember exactly how liberated and subversive I felt as a result. Edward Said
The disciplines of physical exercise, meditation and study aren't terribly esoteric. The means to attain a capability far beyond that of the so-called ordinary person are within the reach of everyone, if their desire and their will are strong enough. I have studied science, art, religion and a hundred different philosophies. Anyone could do as much. By applying what you learn and ordering your thoughts in an intelligent manner it is possible to accomplish almost anything. Possible for an... Alan Moore
Dan, I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I did it thirty-five minutes ago. Alan Moore
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. C. S. Lewis
