Evening Quotes (page 400)

The first thing I learned at school was that some people are idiots; the second thing I learned was that some are even worse. Orhan Pamuk
Worst fears: That God was not good. That the earth you stood upon shifted, and chasms yawned; that people, falling, clutched one another for help and none was forthcoming. That the basis of all things was evil. That the beauty of the evening, now settling in a yellow glow on the stone of The Cottage barns, the swallows dipping and soaring, a sudden host of butterflies in the long grasses in the foreground, was a lie; a deceitful sheen on which hopeful visions flitted momentarily, and... Fay Weldon
Anthony Burgess quote: "It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now, to give..."
It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now, to give it the perfect ending, was a little of the Ludwig Van. Anthony Burgess
Cormac McCarthy quote: "It may be that the life I desire for her no longer even..."
It may be that the life I desire for her no longer even exists, yet I know what she does not. That there is nothing to lose. Cormac McCarthy
They talked about God. They had no picture in their minds of some mist steaming upward: rather of strong, skillful hands thrust down to make, and mend, perhaps even to destroy. C. S. Lewis
All around me darkness gathers, Fading is the sun that shone, We must speak of other matters, You can be me when I'm gone. Flowers gathered in the morning, Afternoon they blossom on, Still are withered in the evening, You can be me when I'm gone. Neil Gaiman
So she learned ways of conserving bits of seconds. Long before the train ground to a stop at her station, she pushed her way to the door to be one of the first expelled when it slid open. Out of the train, she ran like a deer, circling the crowd to be the first up the stairs leading to the street. Walking to the office, she kept close to the buildings so she could turn corners sharply. She crossed streets kittycorner to save stepping off and on an extra pair of curbs. At the building,... Betty Smith
There is nothing in your budget for joy. No books, no flowers, no music, not even a cold beer. And there is nothing in your budget to give away to someone else. We don’t help people who don’t have better values than you do. Robert Fulghum
I cannot come nearer to God and Heaven. Than I live to Walden even. I am its stony shore, And the breeze that passes o'er; In the hollow of my hand. Are its water and its sand, And its deepest resort. Lies high in my thought. Henry David Thoreau
Youth is the only season for enjoyment, and the first twenty-five years of one's life are worth all the rest of the longest life of man, even though these be spent in penury and contempt, and the rest in possession of wealth, honors, respectability. George Borrow
I'm 17 years old. I'm not a straight-A student or anything. Even so, I figured out how to make an Internet that they can't wiretap. I figured out how to jam their person-tracking technology. I can turn innocent people into suspects and turn guilty people into innocents in their eyes. I could get metal onto an airplane or beat a no-fly list. I figured this stuff out by looking at the web and by thinking about it. If I can do it, terrorists can do it. They told us they took away our... Cory Doctorow
I guessed life was like that. You gained and you lost, and if you saved anything from the ruins, even if only a shred of self-respect, it was enough to take you through the next bit. Dick Francis
Judy Blume quote: "you can't deny they ever happened. You can't deny you ever..."
you can't deny they ever happened. You can't deny you ever loved them, love them still, even if loving them causes you pain Judy Blume
Janet Evanovich quote: "I see you looking at my cookies,' my father said to Morelli...."
I see you looking at my cookies,' my father said to Morelli. 'Don't even think about it. Go get your own cookies. Janet Evanovich
Every man is scared in his first battle. If he says he s not he s a liar. Some men are cowards but they fight the same as the brave men or they get the hell slammed out of them watching men fight who are just as scared as they are. The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared. Some men get over their fright in a minute under fire. For some it takes an hour. For some it takes days. But a real man will never let his fear of death overpower his honor his sense of duty to his... George S. Patton
