Done Quotes (page 93)

Pray to God for gladness. Be glad as children, as the birds of heaven. And let not the sin of men confound you in your doings. Fear not that it will wear away your work and hinder its being accomplished. Do not say, 'Sin is mighty, wickedness is mighty, evil environment is mighty, and we are lonely and helpless, and evil environment is wearing us away and hindering our good work from being done.' Fly from that dejection, children! Fyodor Dostoevsky
The evil of one murder is infinite, and my guilt is like my beauty - eternal. I cannot be forgiven, for there is no one to forgive me for all I've done. Anne Rice
What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is related only to objects and not to individuals, or to life. That art is something which is specialized or which is done by experts who are artists. But couldn't everyone's life become a work of art? Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not our life? Michel Foucault
My companion at the press drank every day a pint before breakfast, a pint at breakfast with his bread and cheese, a pint between breakfast and dinner, a pint at dinner, a pint in the afternoon about six o’clock, and another when he had done his day’s work. Benjamin Franklin
Unfinished business always comes back to haunt you, and a man who swears he'll love you forever isn't finished with you until he's done. Alice Hoffman
I have no idea what Andrew might have done, and I do not ask. She believes that I can fix this, and like always, that's enough to make me think that I can. "I'll take care of it,: I say, when what I really mean is: I'll take care of you. Jodi Picoult
Written in ink, in German, in a small, hopelessly sincere handwriting, were the words "Dear God, life is hell." Nothing led up to or away from it. Alone on the page, and in the sickly stillness of the room, the words appeared to have the stature of an uncontestable, even classic indictment. X stared at the page for several minutes, trying, against heavy odds, not to be taken in. Then, with far more zeal than he had done anything in weeks, he picked up a pencil stub and wrote down under the... J. D. Salinger
Marriage is the most licentious of human institutions--I say the most licentious of human institutions: that is the secret of its popularity. And a woman seeking a husband is the most unscrupulous of all the beasts of prey. The confusion of marriage with morality has done more to destroy the conscience of the human race than any other single error. George Bernard Shaw
Ayn Rand quote: "Any work is creative work if done by a thinking mind."
Any work is creative work if done by a thinking mind. Ayn Rand
I've always done whatever I felt like doing in life. People may try to stop me, and convince me I'm wrong, but I won't change. Haruki Murakami
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "Memory says, 'I did that.' Pride replies, 'I could not have..."
Memory says, 'I did that.' Pride replies, 'I could not have done that.' Eventually, memory yields. Friedrich Nietzsche
Jane Austen quote: "His reading has done him no harm, for he has fought as well as..."
His reading has done him no harm, for he has fought as well as read. Jane Austen
Forget the suffering You caused others. Forget the suffering Others caused you. The waters run and run, Springs sparkle and are done, You walk the earth you are forgetting. Sometimes you hear a distant refrain. What does it mean, you ask, who is singing? A childlike sun grows warm. A grandson and a great-grandson are born. You are led by the hand once again. The names of the rivers remain with you. How endless those rivers seem! Your fields lie fallow, The city towers are not as they... Czeslaw Milosz
Ray Bradbury quote: "I have two rules in life - to hell with it, whatever it is,..."
I have two rules in life - to hell with it, whatever it is, and get your work done. Ray Bradbury
there are quiet victories and struggles, great sacrifices of self, and noble acts of heroism, in it - even in many of its apparent lightnesses and contradictions - not the less difficult to achieve, because they have no earthly chronicle or audience - done every day in nooks and corners, and in little households, and in men's and women's hearts - any one of which might reconcile the sternest man to such a world, and fill him with belief and hope in it Charles Dickens
