First Quotes (page 68)

All I know is this: nobody's very big in the first place, and it looks to me like everybody spends their whole life tearing everybody else down. Ken Kesey
Knowledge exists in two forms - lifeless, stored in books, and alive, in the consciousness of men. The second form of existence is after all the essential one; the first, indispensable as it may be, occupies only an inferior position. Albert Einstein
Rod Serling quote: "If in any quest for magic, in any search for sorcery,..."
If in any quest for magic, in any search for sorcery, witchery, legerdemain, first check the human spirit. Rod Serling
William Shakespeare quote: "To me, fair friend, you never can be old, For as you were when..."
To me, fair friend, you never can be old, For as you were when first your eye I ey'd, Such seems your beauty still. William Shakespeare
I cannot be the only reader who has wondered why God, having given him [St. Paul] so many gifts, withheld from him (what would seem so necessary for the first Christian theologian) that of lucidity and orderly exposition. C. S. Lewis
Where does the money go that I send To those in need, if we have so much why do some people have nothing Still why do I feel frantic when I first wake up in the morning Why do you say you are spiritual, yet you treat people like shit Alanis Morissette
Repentance was never yet produced in any man's heart apart from the grace of God. As soon may you expect the leopard to regret the blood with which its fangs are moistened,—as soon might you expect the lion of the wood to abjure his cruel tyranny over the feeble beasts of the plain, as expect the sinner to make any confession, or offer any repentance that shall be accepted of God, unless grace shall first renew the heart. Charles Spurgeon
We were both young when I first saw you. I close my eyes and the flashback starts. I'm standin' there on a balcony in summer air. Taylor Swift
Such a number of nights,' said the girl, with a touch of woman's tenderness, which communicated something like sweetness of tone, even to her voice; 'such a number of nights as I've been patient with you, nursing and caring for you, as if you had been a child: and this the first that I've seen you like yourself; you wouldn't have served me as you did just now, if you'd thought of that, would you? Come, come; say you wouldn't. Charles Dickens
Pippin glanced in some wonder at the face now close beside his own, for the sound of that laugh had been gay and merry. Yet in the wizard's face he saw at first only lines of care and sorrow; though as he looked more intently he perceived that under all there was a great joy: a fountain of mirth enough to set a kingdom laughing, were it to gush forth. J. R. R. Tolkien
Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory is won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory. Sun Tzu
The symbolism seemed so apt. The same technology that can propel apocalyptic weapons from continent to continent would enable the first human voyage to another planet. It was a choice of fitting mythic power: to embrace the planet named after, rather than the madness ascribed to, the god of war. Carl Sagan
It turns out to be the new Planet, which, a decade and a half later, will be known first as the Georgian, and then as Herschel, after its official Discoverer, and more lately as Uranus. Thomas Pynchon
It always rains on the unloved-wet dreams-a fishing expedition-she kisses wyverns (the disneyland analogy)-dinner etiquette and chocolate lovers-desire swears by the first circle-"things are changing"-what can possibly go wrong? Neil Gaiman
Ben Okri quote: "The law is simple. Every experience is repeated or suffered..."
The law is simple. Every experience is repeated or suffered till you experience it properly and fully the first time. Ben Okri
