Terry McMillan quote: "Their young live were over, too, except they had to die..."
Their young live were over, too, except they had to die everyday while still breathing. Terry McMillan
The love of glory is like the bridge that Satan built across Chaos to pass from Hell to Paradise: glory links the past with the future across a bottomless abyss. Nothing to my son, except my name! Napoleon Bonaparte
Because no man can ever feel his own identity aright except his eyes be closed; as if darkness were indeed the proper element of our essences, though light be more congenial to our clayey part. Herman Melville
John Braine quote: "There isn't, unfortunately, any way of discovering whether you..."
There isn't, unfortunately, any way of discovering whether you can write a publishable novel except by writing it. John Braine
Yet I had not been many days shut up with them before I began to be ashamed of my first judgment, when I had drawn away from them at the Ferry pier, as though they had been unclean beasts. No class of man is altogether bad, but each has its own faults and virtues; and these shipmates of mine were no exception to the rule. Rough they were, sure enough; and bad, I suppose; but they had many virtues. They were kind when it occurred to them, simple even beyond the simplicity of a country lad like... Robert Louis Stevenson
I'm an atheist, and that's it. I believe there's nothing we can know except that we should be kind to each other and do what we can for people. Katharine Hepburn
A Christian society is not going to arrive until most of us really want it: and we are not going to want it until we become fully Christian. I may repeat "Do as you would be done by" till I am black in the fact, but I cannot really carry it out till I love my neighbour as myself: and I cannot learn to love my neighbour as myself till I learn to love God: and I cannot learn to love God except by learning to obey Him. And so, as I warned you, we are driven on to something more inward - driven... C. S. Lewis
We fall from womb to tomb, from one blackness and toward another, remembering little of the one and knowing nothing of the other ... except through faith. Stephen King
C. S. Lewis quote: "Where, except in the present, can the eternal be met?"
Where, except in the present, can the eternal be met? C. S. Lewis
Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation. Viktor E. Frankl
I never had a particularly strong craving to procreate, except for earlier fantasies of wanting to be Marmee in Little Women. Anne Lamott
Englishmen rarely cry, except under the pressure of the acutest grief; whereas in some parts of the Continent the men shed tears much more readily and freely. Charles Darwin
Extraordinarily excessive sensuality it may be .. but it all comes down to the same thing in the end, and one means is surely as good as another, since the end obtained is always the same. In any case the exceptional, endlessly repeated, is no different than the banal; and unceasing recapitulation can add nothing, in the end, to the sum of experience. I am weary and hopeless three times the dupe. Why have you trained me in the shame of abominable sins? Remy de Gourmont
The present representative of the Dedlocks is an excellent master. He supposes all his dependents to be utterly bereft of individual characters, intentions, or opinions, and is persuaded that he was born to supersede the necessity of their having any. If he were to make a discovery to the contrary, he would be simply stunned? would never recover himself, most likely, except to gasp and die. Charles Dickens
