Firm Quotes (page 9)

Ross was a firm believer that you could not force circumstance. You could buckle your seat belt, but still crash the car. You could throw yourself in front of an oncoming train, but somehow survive. You could wait for years to find a ghost, and then have one sneak up on you when you were too busy falling in love with a woman to pay attention. To that end, he made the conscious decision to stop waiting for Lia. When he least expected her, that was when she would show up. Jodi Picoult
It is not enough that you understand in what ignorance man and beast live; you must also have and acquire the will to ignorance.

Friedrich Nietzsche
When I have seen by Time's fell hand defaced The rich proud cost of outworn buried age; When sometime lofty towers I see down-razed And brass eternal slave to mortal rage; When I have seen the hungry ocean gain Advantage on the kingdom of the shore, And the firm soil win of the watery main, Increasing store with loss and loss with store; When I have seen such interchange of state, Or state itself confounded to decay; Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate, That Time will come and take my love... William Shakespeare

J. R. R. Tolkien
All this marked them as vaguely liberal, although their ideas would never congeal into anything like a firm ideology; in this, too, they were American. Barack Obama
Margaret Atwood quote: "Happy as a clam, is what my mother says for happy. I am happy..."
Happy as a clam, is what my mother says for happy. I am happy as a clam: hard-shelled, firmly closed. Margaret Atwood
For we are like tree trunks in the snow. In appearance they lie smoothly and a little push should be enough to set them rolling. No, it can't be done, for they are firmly wedded to the ground. But see, even that is only appearance. Franz Kafka
The only historian capable of fanning the spark of hope in the past is the one who is firmly convinced that even the dead will not be safe from the enemy if he is victorious. Walter Benjamin
You are going, Jane?"I am going, sir."You are leaving me?"Yes."You will not come? You will not be my comforter, my rescuer? My deep love, my wild woe, my frantic prayer, are all nothing to you?"What unutterable pathos was in his voice! How hard was it to reiterate firmly, "I am going!"Jane!"Mr. Rochester."Withdraw then, I consent; but remember, you leave me here in anguish. Go up to your own room, think over all I have said, and, Jane, cast a glance on my sufferings; think of me."He... Charlotte Bronte
L. M. Montgomery quote: "It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy..."
It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will. L. M. Montgomery

I'm depressed! I'm completely depressed! I am firmly convinced that there is no one in this world who really likes me!"So what else is new? Charles M. Schulz
And why are you so firmly, so triumphantly, convinced that only the normal and the positive--in other words, only what is conducive to welfare--is for the advantage of man? Is not reason in error as regards advantage? Does not man, perhaps, love something besides well-being? Perhaps he is just as fond of suffering? Perhaps suffering is just as great a benefit to him as well-being? Man is sometimes extraordinarily, passionately, in love with suffering, and that is a fact. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Instead of giving a firm foundation for setting the conscience of man at rest forever, Thou didst choose all that is exceptional, vague and enigmatic. Fyodor Dostoevsky
