Giving Up Quotes (page 28)

There's no such thing as life without bloodshed. I think the notion that the species can be improved in some way, that everyone could live in harmony, is a really dangerous idea. Those who are afflicted with this notion are the first ones to give up their souls, their freedom. Your desire that it be that way will enslave you and make your life vacuous. Cormac McCarthy
When reading a book, be very certain that you never go past a word you do not fully understand. The only reason a person gives up a study or becomes confused or unable to learn is because he or she has gone past a word that was not understood. L. Ron Hubbard
I’m free, I think. I shut my eyes and think hard and deep about how free I am, but I can’t really understand what it means. All I know is I’m totally alone. All alone in an unfamiliar place, like some solitary explorer who’s lost his compass and his map. Is this what it means to be free? I don’t know, and I give up thinking about it. Haruki Murakami
The mouth was wide open and ripped at the corners, as though she had choked a little in giving up the tremendous vitality she had stored so long. F. Scott Fitzgerald
The difference between an admirer and a follower still remains, no matter where you are. The admirer never makes any true sacrifices. He always plays it safe. Though in words, phrases, songs, he is inexhaustible about how highly he prizes Christ, he renounces nothing, gives up nothing, will not reconstruct his life, will not be what he admires, and will not let his life express what it is he supposedly admires. Soren Kierkegaard
Copyright law has got to give up its obsession with 'the copy.' The law should not regulate 'copies' or 'modern reproductions' on their own. It should instead regulate uses--like public distributions of copies of copyrighted work--that connect directly to the economic incentive copyright law was intended to foster. Lawrence Lessig

Harriet Beecher Stowe quote: "Never give up, for thatis just the place and timethat the tide..."
Never give up, for thatis just the place and timethat the tide will turn. Harriet Beecher Stowe
We went there to grope for our happiness, which all the world was threatening with the utmost ferocity. We were ashamed of wanting what we wanted, but something had to be done about it all the same. Love is harder to give up than life. In this world we spend our time killing or adoring, or both together. "I hate you! I adore you!" We keep going, we fuel and refuel, we pass on our life to a biped of the next century, with frenzy, at any cost, as if it were the greatest of pleasures to... Louis-Ferdinand Celine
George S. Kaufman quote: "KIRBY: A man can't give up his business. GRANDPA: Why not?..."
KIRBY: A man can't give up his business. GRANDPA: Why not? You've got all the money you need. You can't take it with you. George S. Kaufman
She told me that she did not like the idea of your being in that house all by yourself, and that she thought you took too much strong tea. In fact she wants me to advise you if possible to give up the tea and the very late hours. Bram Stoker

Dee Dee Myers quote: "Clinton's resilience became sort of the secret weapon of the..."
Clinton's resilience became sort of the secret weapon of the campaign. He was never going to just give up and get out. Dee Dee Myers
It is a common temptation of Satan to make us give up the reading of the Word and prayer when our enjoyment is gone; as if it were of no use to read the Scriptures when we do not enjoy them, and as if it were no use to pray when we have no spirit of prayer. George Muller
