Dropping Quotes (page 32)

Frank Zappa quote: "Books Are Good For Lots Of Uses, Not For Dropping In The Toilet."
Books Are Good For Lots Of Uses, Not For Dropping In The Toilet. Frank Zappa
Nevertheless the severance is rather casual and it drops a stain on our admiration of Nora. Ibsen has put the leaving of her children on the same moral and emotional level as the leaving of her husband and we cannot, in our hearts, asssent to that. It is not only the leaving but the way the play does not have time for suffering, changes of heart. Ibsen has been too much a man in the end. He has taken the man's practice, if not his stated belief, that where self-realization is concerned... Elizabeth Hardwick
Don't you just love these long rainy afternoons in [insert place] when an hour isn't just an hour - but a little piece of eternity dropped into your hands - and who knows what to do with it? Tennessee Williams
I don't know everything," she said. Her eyes were filling with tears. "If I knew everything, would I have gotten into this mess in the first place? I certainly don't know why you assume I'm going to drop everything and fly off to Antigua with you. I don't even know what I'm doing her. I don't know why we haven't talked in two weeks. And the worst part is, if I do go to Antigua with you, I don't know if I'll ever want to come back. I'm pretty sure I'll want to stay there with you forever." She... Meg Cabot
Aeschylus quote: "In visions of the night, like dropping rain, Descend the many..."
In visions of the night, like dropping rain, Descend the many memories of pain Aeschylus
...trees to cool the towns in the boiling summer, trees to hold back the winter winds. There were so many things a tree could do: add color, provide shade, drop fruit, or become a children's playground, a whole sky universe to climb and hang from; an architecture of food and pleasure, that was a tree. But most of all the trees would distill an icy air for the lungs, and a gentle rustling for the ear when you lay nights in your snowy bed and were gentled to sleep by the sound. Ray Bradbury
J. M. Barrie quote: "A moment after the fairy's entrance the window was blown open..."
A moment after the fairy's entrance the window was blown open by the breathing of the little stars, and Peter dropped in. J. M. Barrie
My doctor says that, contrary to conventional wisdom, she doesn't believe our memories flag because of a drop in estrogen but because of how crowded it in the drawers of our minds. A. Whitney Brown
All anyone can hope for is just a tiny bit of love, like a drop in a cup if you can get it, or a waterfall, a flood, if you can get that too. Edwidge Danticat
Victor Hugo quote: "Her soul trembled on her lips like a drop of dew on a flower."
Her soul trembled on her lips like a drop of dew on a flower. Victor Hugo
Haruki Murakami quote: "The ground we stand on looks solid enough, but if something..."
The ground we stand on looks solid enough, but if something happens it can drop right out from under you. Haruki Murakami
Well, hi, CeeCee," I said. "Hi, Adam. Nice of you two to drop by. Ever heard of knocking?"Oh, please," CeeCee said. "Why? Because we might interrupt you and your precious Jesse?"Jesse, upon hearing this, raised his eyebrows. Way up. Meg Cabot
Gary had hoped to find her more cooperative. He already had one "alternative" sibling and he didn't need another. It frustrated him that people could so happily drop out of the world of conventional expectations; it felt like a unilateral rewriting, to his disadvantage, of the rules of life. Jonathan Franzen
I didn’t know what to say to that. I just stared at him. He was right, of course he was right, but… “I can’t do my job like this.” “No,” he said, “you can’t.” Then suddenly I felt the first tear slide down my face. “No crying,” he said. Another tear joined the first. I fought not to wipe at them. His hand dropped to his side and he took a deep breath. “That’s not fair. Don’t cry.” “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to, but you’re right, I think. I’m pregnant, damn it, not... Laurell K. Hamilton
If rain drops were kisses, I'd send you showers. If hugs were seas, I'd send you oceans. And if love was a person I'd send you me! Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. Emily Bronte
