Giving Quotes (page 222)

Manners are the happy ways of doing things; each one a stroke of genius or of love, now repeated and hardened into usage, they form at last a rich varnish, with which the routine of life is washed, and its details adorned. If they are superficial, so are the dew-drops which give such a depth to the morning meadows. Ralph Waldo Emerson
John Steinbeck quote: "It's one of the great fallacies, it seems to me, that time..."
It's one of the great fallacies, it seems to me, that time gives much of anything but years and sadness to man. John Steinbeck

I know that as a very young child, I was afraid of death. Many children become aware of the notion of death early and it can be a very troubling thing. We're all in this continuum: I'm this age now, and if I live long enough I'll be that age. I was 20 once, I was 10, I was 4. People who are 20 now will be 50 one day. They don't know that! They know it in the abstract, but they don't know it. I'd like them to know it, because I think it gives you compassion. Charlie Kaufman
Tori Amos quote: "On some of my darkest days, Lucifer's the one who comes and..."
On some of my darkest days, Lucifer's the one who comes and gives me an ice cream. Tori Amos

Sometime they’ll give a war and nobody will come. Carl Sandburg
Forget not, never forget that you have promised me to use this silver to become an honest man.... Jean Valjean, my brother: you belong no longer to evil, but to good. It is your soul that I am buying for you. I withdraw it from dark thoughts and from the spirit of perdition, and I give it to God! Victor Hugo
This illustrates an important truth, namely, that the worse your logic, the more interesting the consequences to which it gives rise. Bertrand Russell
Henry David Thoreau quote: "It is never too late to give up your prejudices"
It is never too late to give up your prejudices Henry David Thoreau
Second-hand gloves will become lovely again, their memories are what give them the need for other hands. And the desolation of lovers is the same: that enormous emptiness carved out of such tiny beings as we are asks to be filled; the need for the new love is faithfulness to the old. Galway Kinnell
The shrill voices of those who give orders. Are full of fear like the squeakings of. Piglets awaiting the butcher's knife, as their fat arses. Sweat with anxiety in their office chairs....Fear rules not only those who are ruled, but. The rulers too. Bertolt Brecht
There are some of us who in after years say to Fate, 'Now deal us your hardest blow, give us what you will; but let us never again suffer as we suffered when we were children.' The barb in the arrow of childhood's suffering is this: its intense loneliness, its intense ignorance. Olive Schreiner
When apparent stability disintegrates, As it must-God is Change-People tend to give in. To fear and depression, To need and greed. When no influence is strong enough. To unify people. They divide. They struggle, One against one, Group against group, For survival, position, power. They remember old hates and generate new ones, The create chaos and nurture it. They kill and kill and kill, Until they are exhausted and destroyed, Until they are conquered by outside forces, Or until one of them... Octavia Butler
