Gives Quotes (page 274)

No human relation gives possession in another - every two souls are absolutely different. In friendship or in love, the two sides by sides raise hands together to find what one cannot reach alone. Khalil Gibran
...we can postulate that there must be diseases founded on a conflict between ego and super-ego. Analysis gives us the right to infer that melancholia is the model of this group, and then we should put in a claim for the name of "narcissistic psychoneuroses" for these disorders. Sigmund Freud
Glenn Turner quote: "Worring is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do,..."
Worring is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere. Glenn Turner
She cannot remember her mother's face... This is the woman who brought her into the world... This is the woman her father loved. Yet every time she turns her mind's eye in her mother's direction she sees only the men she is talking to, the children she is playing with, the maids to whom she is giving orders... She begins to realise how alike they are, she and her mother, these blank sheets on which men have written their stories, the white space between the words, making all their... Mark Haddon
Suzanne Collins quote: "Glimmer, I hear someone call her - ugh, the names the people..."
Glimmer, I hear someone call her - ugh, the names the people in District 1 give their children are so ridiculous ... Suzanne Collins
No longer mourn for me when I am dead. Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell. Give warning to the world that I am fled. From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell; Nay, if you read this line, remember not. The hand that writ it; for I love you so, That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot, If thinking on me then would make you woe. William Shakespeare
Neil Gaiman quote: "Everybody going to be dead one day, just give them time."
Everybody going to be dead one day, just give them time. Neil Gaiman
I observed the woman I had been up until then: weak but trying to give the impression of strength. Fearful of everything but telling herself it wasn't fear - it was the wisdom of someone who knew what reality was. Paulo Coelho
We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive. We suffer because our love is going unrecognized. We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rules. Paulo Coelho
Robertson Davies quote: "You're all mad for words. Words are just farts from a lot of..."
You're all mad for words. Words are just farts from a lot of fools who have swallowed too many books. Give me things! Robertson Davies
Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do onething. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let thebody tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired morning, noon, and night. But the body isnever tired if the mind is not tired. When you were youngerthe mind could make you dance all night, and the body wasnever tired... You've always got to make the mind take overand keep going. George S. Patton
To explode or to implode - said Qwfwq - that is the question: whether 'tis nobler in the mind to expand one's energies in space without restraint, or to crush them into a dense inner concentration and, by ingesting, cherish them. To steal away, to vanish; no more; to hold within oneself every gleam, every ray, deny oneself every vent, suffocating in the depths of the soul the conflicts that so idly trouble it, give them their quietus; to hide oneself, to obliterate oneself; perchance to... Italo Calvino
A steady recognition that the evils which prevent the fullness of moral development are precisely the elements which are also the source of the power that gives existence to whatever moral accomplishments we see about us may eventually lead us to a tolerance we grant to the internal-combustion engine: it is noisy and smelly, and occasionally, it refuses to start, but it is what gets us to wherever we get. We must somehow learn to understand and so to tolerate- not destroy- the free society. Michael Polanyi
Elizabeth Gilbert quote: "True wisdom gives the only possible answer at any given moment."
True wisdom gives the only possible answer at any given moment. Elizabeth Gilbert
But the most obvious fact about praise -- whether of God or anything -- strangely escaped me. I thought of it in terms of compliment, approval, or the giving of honor. I had never noticed that all enjoyment spontaneously overflows into praise. ... The world rings with praise -- lovers praising their mistresses, readers their favorite poet, walkers praising the countryside, players praising their favorite game. ... I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely... C. S. Lewis
