Ending Quotes (page 223)

Towards the end of your life you have something like a pain schedule to fill out—a long schedule like a federal document, only it's your pain schedule. Endless categories. First, physical causes—like arthritis, gallstones, menstrual cramps. New category, injured vanity, betrayal, swindle, injustice. But the hardest items of all have to do with love. The question then is: So why does everybody persist? If love cuts them up so much.... Saul Bellow
It is an edged clich that the world is most pleasant in the years of a Waning Sun. It is true that the weather is not so driven, that everywhere there is a sense of slowing down, and most places experience a few years where the summers do not burn and the winters are not yet overly fierce. It is the classic time of romance. It's a time that seductively beckons higher creatures to relax, postpone. It's the last chance to prepare for the end of the world. Vernor Vinge
It's eerie, but what's happening is the folks are staring at themselves in the monitor staring at themselves in the monitor staring at themselves in the monitor, on and on, completely trapped in a reality loop that never ends. Chuck Palahniuk
Idries Shah quote: "You are still adrift while you still think that a means is an..."
You are still adrift while you still think that a means is an end. Idries Shah
It is not that addresses at the opening of a battle make the soldiers brave. The old veterans scarcely hear them, and recruits forget them at the first boom of the cannon. Their usefulness lies in their effect on the course of the campaign, in neutralizing rumors and false reports, in maintaining a good spirit in the camp, and in furnishing matter for camp-fire talk. The printed order of the day should fulfill these different ends. Napoleon Bonaparte
I was aware of the time slipping away so quickly and I was hideously afraid that I would never have another chance to be with him like this again- openly, the Walls between us gone for once. His words hinted at an end, and I recoiled from the idea. I couldn't waste one minute I had with him. Stephenie Meyer
Good beats upon the damned incessantly as sound waves beat on the ears of the deaf, but they cannot receive it. Their fists are clenched, their teeth are clenched, their eyes fast shut. First they will not, in the end they cannot, open their hands for gifts, or their mouth for food, or their eyes to see. C. S. Lewis
they may all be drunk at my place, but they're all honest, and though we do lie-because I lie, too-in the end we'll lie our way to the truth Fyodor Dostoevsky
Not that any of the sysadmin’s knowledge and skills were applicable here. The psychological stance was the thing: the implicit faith, a little naive and a little cocky, that by banging his head against the problem for long enough he’d be able to break through in the end. Neal Stephenson
Sri Chinmoy quote: "I begin by imagining The impossible. And end by accomplishing...."
I begin by imagining The impossible. And end by accomplishing. The impossible. Sri Chinmoy
Oscar Wilde quote: "In love, one always begins in deceiving oneself, and one..."
In love, one always begins in deceiving oneself, and one always ends in deceiving others. Oscar Wilde
While women weep, as they do now, I'll fight. While little children go hungry, as they do now, I'll fight. While men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I'll fight. While there is a drunkard left, While there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, While there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight-I'll fight to the very end! William Booth
N-nothing important. That is, I heard a good deal about a ring, and a dark lord, and something about the end of the world, but please, Mr. Gandalf, sir, don't hurt me. Don't turn me into anything... unnatural. J. R. R. Tolkien
Malcolm Gladwell quote: "You don't manage a social wrong. You should be ending it."
You don't manage a social wrong. You should be ending it. Malcolm Gladwell
I wouldn't wish now to digress into the philosophy of the relationship between life and logic , but we shall agree that it was a good thing we were not wholly logical. For if we had been , we would have surrendered at the end of April or the beginning of May 1992. The entire logic of the world was against us at that time. And now we have these illogical people who say: we have no food, we have no bullets , but we'll fight and win. what is one to do with them? They are good, courageous people. Alija Izetbegovic
