Fitting Quotes (page 16)

I want to leave, to go somewhere where I should be really in my place, where I would fit in . . . but my place is nowhere; I am unwanted. Jean-Paul Sartre
When we consider that women are treated as property it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit. Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Relationships never break cleanly. Like a valuable vase, they are smashed and then glued back together, smashed and glued, smashed and glued until the pieces just don't fit together anymore. Marilyn Manson
She is a mortal danger without meaning to be one; she's exquisite without giving ita thought; shes a trap set by nature, a rose in which love lies in ambush! Anyone who has seen her smile has known perfection. She creates grace without movement and makes all divinity fit into her slightest gesture. And neither Venus in her shell, nor Diana striding in the great, blossoming forest, can compare to her when she goes through the streets of paris in her sedan chair. Edmond Rostand
That's a big trunk," James said, as we jammed in the leathery old case that looked so much like the black heart of some leviathan. "It fits a tuba, three suitcases, a dead dog, and a garment bag almost perfectly."That's just what they used to say in the ads," I said... Michael Chabon
Lily had no real intimacy with nature but she had a passion for the appropriate and could be keenly sensitive to a scene which was the fitting background of her own sensations. Edith Wharton
Louise Erdrich quote: "I tried out the unfamiliar syllables. They fit. They cracked..."
I tried out the unfamiliar syllables. They fit. They cracked in my ears like a fist through ice. Louise Erdrich
There are things of such darkness and horror—just, I suppose, as there are things of such great beauty—that they will not fit through the puny human doors of perception. Stephen King
There it is; the light across the water. Your story. Mine. His. It has to be seen to be believed. And it has to be heard. In the endless babble of narrative, in spite of the daily noise, the story waits to be heard. Some people say that the best stories have no words. They weren't brought up to Lighthousekeeping. It is true that words drop away, and that the important things are often left unsaid. The important things are learned in faces, in gestures, not in our locked tongues. The true... Jeanette Winterson
Herman Hesse quote: "No permanence is ours, we are a wave that flows to fit..."
No permanence is ours, we are a wave that flows to fit whatever form it finds. Herman Hesse
I will make you brooches and toys for your delight. Of bird-song at morning and star-shine at night. I will make a palace fit for you and me. Of green days in forests and blue days at sea. Robert Louis Stevenson
Terry Prachett quote: "Just call in at the torturer on your way out. See when he can..."
Just call in at the torturer on your way out. See when he can fit you in. Terry Prachett
I am a frayed and nibbled survivor in a fallen world, and I am getting along. I am aging and eaten and have done my share of eating too. I am not washed and beautiful, in control of a shining world in which everything fits, but instead am wondering awed about on a splintered wreck I've come to care for, whose gnawed trees breathe a delicate air, whose bloodied and scarred creatures are my dearest companions, and whose beauty bats and shines not in its imperfections but overwhelmingly in spite... Annie Dillard
Michael Foot quote: "Men of power have not time to read, yet men who do not read..."
Men of power have not time to read, yet men who do not read are not fit for power. Michael Foot
Every day we're told that we live in the greatest country on earth. And it's always stated as an undeniable fact: Leos are born between July 23 and August 22, fitted queen-size sheets measure sixty by eighty inches, and America is the greatest country on earth. Having grown up with this in our ears, it's startling to realize that other countries have nationalistic slogans of their own, none of which are 'We're number two! David Sedaris
