Gets Quotes (page 273)

Whenever I can’t sleep, I like to lie in the darkness and pretend I’ve been assassinated. I’ve found this is the best way to get comfortable. I imagine I’m in the coffin at my funeral, and people from my past are walking by my corpse and making comments about my demise. Chuck Klosterman
Janet Evanovich quote: "Turns out, that's how it is with weddings. You just keep..."
Turns out, that's how it is with weddings. You just keep getting in deeper and deeper until you want to throw up. Janet Evanovich
I could tell Hugo was convinced that he would get to walk back up these stairs: after all, he was a civilized person. These were all civilized people. Hugo really couldn't imagine that anything irreparable could happen to him, because he was a middle-class white American with a college education, as were all the people on the stairs with us. I had no such conviction. I was not a wholly civilized person. Charlaine Harris
Diana Wynne Jones quote: "Typical! I break my neck trying to get here, and I find you..."
Typical! I break my neck trying to get here, and I find you peacefully tidying up! Diana Wynne Jones
Though he would sometimes not touch a book for a week, he generally spent part of each day in reading…if he sat in the library an hour, he would have half a dozen volumes around him, on the table, on chairs and on the floor. He seemed to read a few pages here and a few pages there, and pass from place to place, from volume to volume…sometimes (though very rarely) he would get sufficiently interested in a volume to read it all. Walt Whitman
Garrison Keillor quote: "Intelligence is like four-wheel drive. It only allows you to..."
Intelligence is like four-wheel drive. It only allows you to get stuck in more remote places. Garrison Keillor
In fact the total amount that a physicist knows is very little. He has only to remember the rules to get him from one place to another and he is all right... Richard P. Feynman
I was afraid they kept the hogs in a pen out behind the hospital. I've been prepared for surgery and the doctor says to an orderly, 'Leon, go out to the hog pen and get me a valve. Lewis Grizzard
When money's tight and is hard to get. And your horse has also ran, When all you have is a heap of debt. A PINT OF PLAIN IS YOUR ONLY MAN. Flann O'Brien
Jane Austen quote: "If there is any thing disagreeable going on, men are always..."
If there is any thing disagreeable going on, men are always sure to get out of it. Jane Austen
A fellow will remember a lot of things you wouldn't think he'd remember. You take me. One day, back in 1896, I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry, and as we pulled out, there was another ferry pulling in, and on it there was a girl waiting to get off. A white dress she had on. She was carrying a white parasol. I only saw her for one second. She didn't see me at all, but I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since that I haven't thought of that girl. Herman J. Mankiewicz
... maybe a damned good night's sleep will bring me back to a gentle sanity. But at the moment, I look about this room and, like myself, it's all in disarray: things fallen out of place, cluttered, jumbled, lost, knocked over and I can't put it straight, don'twant to. Perhaps living through these petty days will get us ready for the dangerous ones. Charles Bukowski
Carol Shields quote: "Eventually, everything gets stuck between a pair of..."
Eventually, everything gets stuck between a pair of parentheses or buried in the bottom of a trunk. Carol Shields
It's a beautiful religion and I wish I understood it more. No, I don't want to understand it all. It's beautiful because it's always a mystery. Sometimes I say I don't believe in God and Jesus and Mary. I'm a bad Catholic because I miss mass once in a while and I grumble when, at confession, I get a heavy penance for something I couldn't help doing. But good or bad, I am a Catholic and I'll never be anything else. Of course, I didn't ask to be born Catholic, no more than I asked to be born... Betty Smith
The secret of being a top-notch con man is being able to know what the mark wants, and how to make him think he's getting it. Ken Kesey
