Else Quotes (page 109)

There is still, I think, not enough recognition by teachers of the fact that the desire to think--which is fundamentally a moral problem--must be induced before the power is developed.

Stephen King quote: "Readers have a loyalty that cannot be matched anywhere else in..."
Readers have a loyalty that cannot be matched anywhere else in the creative arts. Stephen King
She was trying to say something else; she was trying to say that the inability to articulate what one feels in any satisfactory way is one of our enduring tragedies. It wouldn't have been much, and it wouldn't have been useful, but it would have been something that reflected the gravity and the sadness inside her. Instead, she had snapped at him for being a loser. It was as if she were trying to find a handhold on the boulder of her feelings, and had merely ended up with grit under her nails. Nick Hornby
Whatever happened to me in my life, happened to me as a writer of plays. I'd fall in love, or fall in lust. And at the height of my passion, I would think, 'So this is how it feels,' and I would tie it up in pretty words. I watched my life as if it were happening to someone else. My son died. And I was hurt, but I watched my hurt, and even relished it, a little, for now I could write a real death, a true loss. My heart was broken by my dark lady, and I wept, in my room, alone; but while I... Neil Gaiman
Yes, it does feel deceptively safer with two; but Thou is a slippery character. Every Thou I've known has had a way of going missing. They skip town or turn perfidious, or else the drop like flies and then where are you? Margaret Atwood
Christopher Isherwood quote: "She is sighing deeply now with sympathy and delight - the..."

Patricia Cornwell quote: "You have to live where you wake up, even if someone else..."
You have to live where you wake up, even if someone else dreamed you there. Patricia Cornwell
I wonder if I am capable of being somebody’s sun, somebody’s everything. Am I centered enough now to be the center of somebody else’s life? Elizabeth Gilbert
But I have never had the privilege of unhappiness in Happy Valley. California is about the good life. So a bad life there seems so much worse than a bad life anywhere else. Quality is an obsession there—good food, good wine, good movies, music, weather, cars. Those sound like the right things to shoot for, but the never-ending quality quest is a lot of pressure when you’re uncertain and disorganized and, not least, broker than broke. Some afternoons a person just wants to rent Die Hard, close... Sarah Vowell
Aldous Huxley quote: "Happiness is like coke? something you get as a by-product in..."
Happiness is like coke? something you get as a by-product in the process of making something else. Aldous Huxley
Sylvia Plath quote: "If you love her", I said "You'll love somebody else someday."
If you love her", I said "You'll love somebody else someday. Sylvia Plath
Abraham Lincoln quote: "I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming..."
I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. Abraham Lincoln

All men who read escape from something else into what lies behind the printed page... Raymond Chandler
There is no greater blessing that you can have than to stand as a proxy in a great service to those who have gone beyond. And it will be your privilege and your opportunity and your responsibility to live worthy to go to the temple of the Lord and be baptized in behalf of someone else. Gordon B. Hinckley
The chief reason why the prince was so particularly disagreeable to Vronsky was that he could not help seeing himself in him. And what he saw in this mirror did not gratify his self-esteem. He was a very stupid and very self-satisfied and very healthy and very well-washed man, and nothing else... He was equable and not cringing with his superiors, was free and ingratiating in his behavior with his equals, and was contemptuously indulgent with his inferiors... for this prince he was an... Leo Tolstoy
