Effecting Quotes (page 45)

Jane Austen quote: "The effect of education I suppose"
The effect of education I suppose Jane Austen
There's always moral instruction whether the writer inserts it deliberately or not. The least effective moral instruction in fiction is that which is consciously inserted. Partly because it won't reflect the storyteller's true beliefs, it will only reflect what he BELIEVES he believes, or what he thinks he should believe or what he's been persuaded of. But when you write without deliberately expressing moral teachings, the morals that show up are the ones you actually live by. The beliefs... Orson Scott Card
Mark Twain quote: "The human race has only one really effective weapon and that..."
The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter Mark Twain
E. E. Cummings quote: "An intelligent person fights for lost causes, realizing that..."
An intelligent person fights for lost causes, realizing that others are merely effects E. E. Cummings
C. S. Lewis quote: "Mathematics effectively began when a few Greek friends got..."
Mathematics effectively began when a few Greek friends got together to talk about numbers and lines and angles. C. S. Lewis
The pajamas were patterned with red pinstripes and tiny blue escutcheons. Sammy was wearing a pair that had red escutcheons with blue pinstripes. That was Rosa's idea of fostering a sense of connection between father and son. As any two people who have ever dressed in matching pajamas will attest, it was surprisingly effective. Michael Chabon
Rudyard Kipling quote: "Too much work and too much energy kill a man just as..."
Too much work and too much energy kill a man just as effectively as too much assorted vice or too much drink Rudyard Kipling
The Somebody Else's Problem field is much simpler and more effective, and what's more can be run for over a hundred years on a single torch battery. This is because it relies on people's natural disposition not to see anything they don't want to, weren't expecting, or can't explain. Douglas Adams
[English] fails me utterly when I attempt to describe what I love about Greek, that language innocent of all quirks and cranks; a language obsessed with action, and with the joy of seeing action multiply from action, action marching relentlessly ahead and with yet more actions filing in from either side to fall into neat step at the rear, in a long straight rank of cause and effect toward what will be inevitable, the only possible end. Donna Tartt
But, drawn to her at that moment, he felt a quiet like the voice of the rain flow over him. He knew well enough that for her it was in fact no waste of effort, but somehow the final determination that it was had the effect of distilling and purifying the woman's existence. Yasunari Kawabata
I am in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some effection, but with Montana it is love. John Steinbeck
He still had the power to stagger her at timessimply the fact that he was breathing that all his organs were in their proper places that blood flowed quietly and effectively through his small sturdy limbs. He was her flesh and blood her mother had told her in the hospital the day Akash was born. Jhumpa Lahiri
The best protection against propaganda of any sort is the recognition of it for what it is. Only hidden and undetected oratory is really insidious. What reaches the heart without going through the mind is likely to bounce back and put the mind out of business. Propaganda taken in that way is like a drug you do not know you are swallowing. The effect is mysterious; you do not know afterwards why you feel or think the way you do. Mortimer Adler
Where else, but from the industrialized world, did the suicide hijackers learn that the huge explosions and death above a city skyline are a peculiar and effective form of communication? They have mastered the language. Chris Hedges
Close your bodily eye, that you may see your picture first with the eye of the spirit. Then bring to light what you have seen in the darkness, that its effect may work back, from without to within. Caspar David Friedrich
