Giving Quotes (page 101)

September has come, it is hers. Whose vitality leaps in the autumn, Whose nature prefers. Trees without leaves and a fire in the fireplace. So I give her this month and the next. Though the whole of my year should be hers who has rendered already. So many of its days intolerable or perplexed. But so many more so happy. Who has left a scent on my life, and left my walls. Dancing over and over with her shadow. Whose hair is twined in all my waterfalls. And all of London littered with remembered... Louis MacNeice
Daphne du Maurier quote: "We all of us have our particular devil who ruses us and..."
We all of us have our particular devil who ruses us and torments us, and we must give battle in the end. Daphne du Maurier
Truth has to be given in riddles. People can't take truth if it comes charging at them like a bull. The bull is always killed. You have to give people the truth in a riddle, hide it so they go looking for it and find it piece by piece; that way they learn to live with it. Chaim Potok
But the queen--too long she has suffered the pain of love, hour by hour nursing the wound with her lifeblood, consumed by the fire buried in her heart. [...]His looks, his words, they pierce her heart and cling--no peace, no rest for her body, love will give her none. Virgil
For the first time she had dimly realized that only the hopeless are starkly sincere and that only the unhappy can either give or take sympathy--even some of the bitter and dangerous voluptuousness of misery. Jean Rhys
Ray Bradbury quote: "I do not use my intellect to write my stories and books; I..."
I do not use my intellect to write my stories and books; I have a gut reaction to the things that my subconscious gives me. Ray Bradbury
Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values. It is peace because we have found peace in the Savior’s teachings. It is the time we realize most deeply that the more love is expended, the more there is of it for others. Thomas S. Monson
Joe Orton quote: "Cleanse my heart... Give me the ability to rage correctly"
Cleanse my heart... Give me the ability to rage correctly Joe Orton
I never presume to give advice on writing. I think the best way to learn to write is to read booksand stories by bood writers. It's a hard thing to preach about. As Thelonious Monk once said abouthis field, "Talking about music is like dancing about architecture. Maureen Dowd
Emile M. Cioran quote: "All that is Life in me urges me to give up God."
All that is Life in me urges me to give up God. Emile M. Cioran
I began to like New York, the racy, adventurous feel of it at night, and the satisfaction that the constant flicker of men and women and machines gives to the restless eye. F. Scott Fitzgerald
True Wit is Nature to advantage dress'dWhat oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd; Something whose truth convinced at sight we find, That gives us back the image of our mind. As shades more sweetly recommend the light, So modest plainness sets off sprightly wit. Alexander Pope
And don't give me any sentimental nonsense about creativity. I believe that a Universal Turing Machine could show behaviors that we would construe as creative. Neal Stephenson
George Gissing quote: "I don't advise. You mutn't give any weight to what I say,..."
I don't advise. You mutn't give any weight to what I say, except in so far as your own judgment approves it. George Gissing
It now lately sometimes seemed a black miracle to me that people could actually care deeply about a subject or pursuit, and could go on caring this way for years on end. Could dedicate their entire lives to it. It seemed admirable and at the same time pathetic. We are all dying to give our lives away to something, maybe. David Foster Wallace
