Else Quotes (page 18)

Nowadays I’m really cranky about comics. Because most of them are just really, really poorly written soft-core. And I miss good old storytelling. And you know what else I miss? Super powers. Why is it now that everybody’s like “I can reverse the polarity of your ions!” Like in one big flash everybody’s Doctor Strange. I like the guys that can stick to walls and change into sand and stuff. I don’t understand anything anymore. And all the girls are wearing nothing, and they all look like they... Joss Whedon
... the Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. C. S. Lewis
Margaret Atwood quote: "All stories are about wolves. All worth repeating, that is...."
All stories are about wolves. All worth repeating, that is. Anything else is sentimental drivel. Margaret Atwood
Reading a book, for me at least, is like traveling in someone else's world. If it's a good book, then you feel comfortable and yet anxious to see what's going to happen to you there, what'll be around the next corner. But if it's a lousy book, then it's like going through Secaucus, New Jersey -- it smells and you wish you weren't there, but since you've started the trip, you roll up the windows and breathe through your mouth until you're done. Jonathan Carroll
People can't concieve of a virtue in someone else that they can't coneive in themselves. Instead of believing you're stronger, it's so much easier to imagine you're weake. You're addicted to self-abuse. You're a liar. People are always ready to believe the opposite of what you tell them. Chuck Palahniuk
How often do we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource! Wego to Him because we have nowhere else to go. And when we learn thatthe storms of life have not driven us upon the rocks but into thedesired heaven. George MacDonald
You don’t just fly up a hill. You struggle slowly and painfully up a hill, and maybe, if you work very hard, you get to the top ahead of everybody else. Lance Armstrong
When I was a child, I thought grown-ups and teachers knew the truth, because they told me they did. It took years for me to discover that the first step in finding out the truth is to begin unlearning almost everything adults had taught me, and to start doing all the things they'd told me NOT to do. Their main pitch was that achievement equaled happiness, when all you had to do was study rock stars, or movie stars, or them, to see that they were mostly miserable. They were all running around... Anne Lamott
I used to be the sort of boy who had sand kicked in his face, now I'm the sort of boy who watches somebody else have it kicked in their face Sue Townsend
Herman Melville quote: "How can you see better of a dark night than anybody else,..."
How can you see better of a dark night than anybody else, never mind how foolish? Herman Melville
William Shakespeare quote: "Affection is a coal that must be cooled; Else, suffered, it..."
Affection is a coal that must be cooled; Else, suffered, it will set the heart on fire. William Shakespeare
To be nobody but yourself in a world that's doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting. E. E. Cummings
The best moments in reading are when you come across something? a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things? that you'd thought special, particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you've never met Alan Bennett
Those people were pushing life and night and day in front of them. Life hides everything from people. Their own noise prevents them from hearing anything else. They couldn't care less. The bigger and taller the city, the less they care. Take it from me. I've tried. It's a waste of time. Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Nothingman" is about a troubled relationship. I wrote it before I was married. I might bring something I know from the relationship to "Nothingman," but I'm thinking about someone else going through it, someone who fucked up. I didn't fuck up. The idea is about if you love someone and they love you, don't fuck up... 'cause you are left with less than nothing. Eddie Vedder
