Done Quotes (page 88)

Only under extreme pressure can we change into that which it is in our most profound nature to become . . .That is what people get wrong about transformation. We're not all shallow proteans, forever shifting shape. We're not science fiction. It's like when coal becomes diamond. It doesn't afterwards retain the possibility of change. Squeeze it as hard as you like, it won't turn into a rubber ball, or a Quattro Stagione pizza, or a self-portrait by Rembrandt. It's done. Salman Rushdie

I don't want to see anyone. I lie in the bedroom with the curtains drawn and nothingness washing over me like a sluggish wave. Whatever is happening to me is my own fault. I have done something wrong, something so huge I can't even see it, something that's drowning me. I am inadequate and stupid, without worth. I might as well be dead. Margaret Atwood
Terry Prachett quote: "It's still magic even if you know how it's done."
It's still magic even if you know how it's done. Terry Prachett
No matter where you're from or what you've done, you're never stuck in a particular circumstance, relationship, or cycle unless you say you are. Russell Simmons
Stephen King quote: "By the time he was done with the deer it had been dark three..."
By the time he was done with the deer it had been dark three hours and his bad leg was singing 'Ave Maria'. Stephen King
You may remember that on earth—though of course we never confessed it—the death of anyone we knew, even those we liked best, was always mingled with a certain satisfaction at being finally done with them. George Bernard Shaw
Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves. And Immortality. We slowly drove, he knew no haste, And I had put away. My labour, and my leisure too, For his civility. We passed the school where children played, Their lessons scarcely done; We passed the fields of gazing grain, We passed the setting sun. We paused before a house that seemed. A swelling of the ground; The roof was scarcely visible, The cornice but a mound. Since then 'tis... Emily Dickinson

If you have not done things worthy of being written about, at least write things worthy of being read. Giacomo Casanova
My master wishes to see you," said the mounted man."When the planting's done," I said."Lord Barton is unaccustomed to waiting."Then he should rejoice, for he'll learn something new today." I went back to the garden. Soon the servant left. Orson Scott Card
