Else Quotes (page 152)

Although he liked nearly everything else about himself, Keith hated his redeeming features. In his view they constituted his only major shortcoming -his one tragic flaw. Martin Amis
One of the marks of a certain type of bad man is that he cannot give up a thing himself without wanting everyone else to give it up. C. S. Lewis
Gay brothers and sisters,... You must come out. Come out... to your parents... I know that it is hard and will hurt them but think about how they will hurt you in the voting booth! Come out to your relatives... come out to your friends... if indeed they are your friends. Come out to your neighbors... to your fellow workers... to the people who work where you eat and shop... come out only to the people you know, and who know you. Not to anyone else. But once and for all, break down the myths,... Harvey Milk
Jane Austen quote: "A single woman, of good fortune, is always respectable, and..."
A single woman, of good fortune, is always respectable, and may be as sensible and pleasant as any body else. Jane Austen
(Einstein to Hilbert) I feel compelled to say something else to you. There has been a certain ill-feeling between us the cause of which I do not want to analyze. I have struggled against the feeling of bitternes attached to it, with complete success. I think of you again with unmixed geniality and ask you to try to do the same with me. It is a shame when two real fellows who have extricated themselves somewhat from this shabby world do not afford each other mutual pleasure. Walter Isaacson
Following your bliss is not self-indulgent, but vital; your whole physical system knows that this is the way to be alive in this world and the way to give to the world the very best that you have to offer. There IS a track just waiting for each of us and once on it, doors will open that were not open before and would not open for anyone else. Joseph Campbell
On the other hand, if you're too delusionally optimistic, you'll be unbearable. You'll refuse to save money or make backup plans. You'll invade foreign countries and expect to be greeted as liberators. Like everything else in health, you need balance. A. J. Jacobs
the great aim of every human being is to understand the meaning of total love. Love is not to be found in someone else, but in ourselves; we simply awaken it. But in order to do that, we need the other person. The universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with. Paulo Coelho
You have to look at yourself objectively. Analyze yourself like an instrument. You have to be absolutely frank with yourself. Face your handicaps, don't try to hide them. Instead, develop something else. Audrey Hepburn
He's like everybody else in television. And Hollywood. And Broadway. He thinks everything sentimental is tender, everything brutal is a slice of realism and that everything that runs into physical violence is a legitimate climax to something that isn't even- J. D. Salinger
Anne Frank quote: "It seems to me that, later on, neither I nor anyone else will..."
It seems to me that, later on, neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the chatterings of a 13-year-old schoolgir? Anne Frank
Existence is not something which lets itself be thought of form a distance; it must invade you suddenly, master you, weigh heavily on your heart like a great motionless beast - or else there is nothing at all. Jean-Paul Sartre
Florida Scott-Maxwell quote: "Life does not accommodate you; it shatters you. Every seed..."
Life does not accommodate you; it shatters you. Every seed destroys its container, or else there would be no fruition. Florida Scott-Maxwell
We kill at every step, not only in wars, riots and executions. We kill when we close our eyes to poverty, suffering and shame. In the same way all disrespect for life, all hard-heartedness, all indifference, all contempt is nothing else than killing. Herman Hesse
Julia Cameron quote: "Creativity requires activity…And most of us hate to do..."
Creativity requires activity…And most of us hate to do something when we can obsess about something else instead. Julia Cameron
