Else Quotes (page 67)

As they advanced (towards the fountain) one after another of Bastian's Fastastican gifts fell away from him. The strong, handsome, fearless hero became the small, fat, timid boy.(...) But then he jumped into the crystal-clear water... He drank till his thrist was quenched. And joy filled him from head to foot, the joy of living and the joy of being himself. He was new born. And the best part of it was that he was now the very person he wanted to be. If he had been free to choose, he would... Michael Ende
In the waters there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than any substance else that is in this Earth; and many […] hearken still unsated to the voice of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen. J. R. R. Tolkien
I bear my testimony that there is no joy to be found in all this world like that of sweet communion with Christ. I would barter all else there is of heaven for that. Indeed, that is heaven. As for the harps of gold and the streets like clear glass and the songs of seraphs and the shouts of the redeemed, one could very well give all these up, counting them as a drop in a bucket, if we might forever live in fellowship and communion with Jesus. Charles Spurgeon
Carson McCullers quote: "The closest thing to being cared for is to care for someone else."
The closest thing to being cared for is to care for someone else. Carson McCullers
It is easy to be religious when religion is in fashion; but it is an evidence of strong faith and resolution to swim against a stream to heaven, and to appear for God when no one else appears for Him. Matthew Henry
It is man's social nature which distinguishes him from the brute creation. If it is his privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter-dependent. Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained. Mahatma Gandhi
Joyce Carol Oates quote: "I am the presence standing here at this juncture of Time &..."
I am the presence standing here at this juncture of Time & Space- who else? Joyce Carol Oates
Is war perhaps nothing else but a need to face death, to conquer and master it, to come out of it alive -- a peculiar form of denial of our mortality? Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
I’m an egotist, but I’m not selfish. There’s a difference. I’m a neurotic, I guess. I can’t stop thinking about myself. It isn’t that I think myself so important... I simply can’t think about anything else, that’s all. If I could fall in love with a woman that might help some. But I can’t find a woman who interests me. Henry Miller
Bob Dylan quote: "I just don't hear anyone else making the music I'm making in..."
I just don't hear anyone else making the music I'm making in my head, so I'll have to do it myself. Bob Dylan
Douglas Adams quote: "It can be very dangerous to see things from somebody else's..."
It can be very dangerous to see things from somebody else's point of view without the proper training. Douglas Adams
Don't you think I have sense enough to worry about my motives for saying the prayer? That's exactly what's bothering me so. Just because I'm choosy about what I want - in this case, enlightenment or peace, instead or money or prestige or game or any of those things, doesn't mean I'm not as egotistical and self-seeking as everybody else. If anything, I'm more so! J. D. Salinger
It's a beautiful religion and I wish I understood it more. No, I don't want to understand it all. It's beautiful because it's always a mystery. Sometimes I say I don't believe in God and Jesus and Mary. I'm a bad Catholic because I miss mass once in a while and I grumble when, at confession, I get a heavy penance for something I couldn't help doing. But good or bad, I am a Catholic and I'll never be anything else. Of course, I didn't ask to be born Catholic, no more than I asked to be born... Betty Smith
Henry David Thoreau quote: "I should not talk so much about myself if there were anybody..."
I should not talk so much about myself if there were anybody else whom I knew as well. Henry David Thoreau
George Carlin quote: "We are a nation of sheep, and someone else owns the grass."
We are a nation of sheep, and someone else owns the grass. George Carlin
