First Quotes (page 279)

It's a funny thing about looking for things. If you hunt for a needle in a haystack you don't find it. If you don't give a darn whether you ever see the needle or not it runs into you the first time you lean against the stack. P. G. Wodehouse
Stephenie Meyer quote: "And then I saw the way he looked at her... like he was a blind..."
And then I saw the way he looked at her... like he was a blind man, seeing the sun for the very first time. Stephenie Meyer
I began to see myself as someone who can help others understand diversity rather than feeling like a social outcast. Ellen taught me to not care about other people's opinions. She taught me to be truthful. She taught me to be free. I began to live my life in love and complete acceptance. For the first time I had truly accepted myself. Portia de Rossi
The first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of saying 'this is mine', and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society. Jean-Jacques Rousseau
At five that night, I went back to the market and bought three sixteen-ounce Rainier Ales. I bounced back to my house, Mary Lou Retton-like, sipped the first ale, took the Valium, smoked a joint, drank the second ale, took another Valium, listened to “Into the Mystic” ten times, drank the third Ale, too the Valium and the Halcion, and discovered two unhappy thoughts. One was it was only seven o’clock. The second was that I was wide awake. Anne Lamott
If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down, these women together ought to be able to turn it right again. Sojourner Truth
Stephen King quote: "On the subject of love at first sight, I’m with the Beatles: I..."
On the subject of love at first sight, I’m with the Beatles: I believe that it happens all the time. Stephen King
And I think back over my own life and I realize that my own nature-the core me-essentially hasn’t changed all these years. When I wake up in the morning, for those first few moments before I remember where I am or when I am, I still feel that same way I did when I woke up at the age of five. Doug Coupland
David Sedaris quote: "The Bible says that it’s all right to cast the first stone if..."
The Bible says that it’s all right to cast the first stone if someone dead is telling you to do it David Sedaris
At first I was surprised and confused; then as he lay in his house and didn't move or breathe or speak hour upon hour it grew upon me that I was responsible, because no one else was interested--interested, I mean, with that intense personal interest to which everyone has some vague right at the end. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Steig Larsson quote: "Lie rather still because this is the first time I've used this..."
Lie rather still because this is the first time I've used this equipment. Steig Larsson
He meant that we shall have an open mind, and not let a little truth check the rush of the big truth, like a small rock does a railway truck. We get the small truth first. Good! We keep him, and we value him, but all the same we must not let him think himself all the truth in the universe. Bram Stoker
Then there is the third category, the category of people who need to be constantly before the eyes of the person they love. Their situation is a dangerous as the situation in the first category. One day the eyes of their beloved will close, and the room will go dark. Milan Kundera
I thought to myself, 'why not write a bestseller?' In the first place, more people buy them and more people read them. You make more money and it doesn’t take any more time to write a bestseller than it does to write a book nobody buys. George Burns
The journey is everything. Most necessary of all, but rarest good fortune, we should try to find some man of our own sort who will go with us and to whom we can say the first thing that comes into our heads. For pleasure has no relish unless we share it. Virginia Woolf
