Going Quotes (page 277)

When you go through difficult times, make sure you pass the test. Don’t be stubborn and hardheaded. Recognize that God is refining you, knocking off some of your rough edges. Stand strong and fight the good fight of faith. God has called each of us to be champions; you are destined to win. If you will work with God and keep a good attitude, then no matter what comes against you, the bible says that all things – not just the good things in life, but all things – work together for your good. Joel Osteen
Valerie Bertinelli quote: "When you're busy blocking out difficult emotions and feelings,..."
When you're busy blocking out difficult emotions and feelings, you're not going to feel the good stuff, either. Valerie Bertinelli
the cracked plate has to be retained in the pantry, has to be kept in service as a household necessity. It can never be warmed on the stove nor shuffled with the other plates in the dishpan; it will not be brought out for company but it will do to hold crackers late at night or to go into the ice-box with the left overs. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Men come and go, cities rise and fall, whole civilizations appear and disappear-the earth remains, slightly modified. The earth remains, and the heartbreaking beauty where there are no hearts to break....I sometimes choose to think, no doubt perversely, that man is a dream, thought an illusion, and only rock is real. Rock and sun. Edward Abbey
There was a sharp crack from somewhere on the mountain. Then another. It's just a tree falling, he said. It's okay. The boy was looking at the dead roadside trees. It's okay, the man said. All the trees in the world are going to fall sooner or later. But not on us. Cormac McCarthy
Don't you think it would be wonderful to get rid of everything and everybody and just go some place where you don't know a soul? Haruki Murakami
I dined with Legrandin on the terrace of his house by moonlight. "There is a charming quality, is there not," he said to me, "in this silence; for hearts that are wounded, as mine is, a novelist whom you will read in time to come asserts that there is no remedy but silence and shadow. And you see this, my boy, there comes in all our lives a time, towards which you still have far to go, when the weary eyes can endure but one kind of light, the light which a fine evening like this prepares... Marcel Proust
Drummer, beat, and piper, blow. Harper, strike, and soldier, go. Free the flame and sear the grasses. Til the dawning Red Star passes Anne McCaffrey
I remember him standing under a streetlamp. 'Just as we passed that other lamp I was going to tell you a further thing, Sal, but now I am parenthetically continuing with a new thought and by the time we reach the next I'll return to the original subject, agreed?' I certainly agreed. Jack Kerouac
George Santayana quote: "why shouldnt things be largely absurd, futile, and transitory?..."
why shouldnt things be largely absurd, futile, and transitory? they are so, and we are so, and they and we go together. George Santayana
Billie Jean King quote: "Be bold if you are going to make an error make a doozy."
Be bold if you are going to make an error make a doozy. Billie Jean King
Haruki Murakami quote: "No matter what they wish for, no matter how far they go,..."
No matter what they wish for, no matter how far they go, people can never be anything but themselves. That's all. Haruki Murakami
I do think that women could make politics irrelevant; by a kind of spontaneous cooperative action the like of which we have never seen; which is so far from people’s ideas of state structure or viable social structure that it seems to them like total anarchy — when what it really is, is very subtle forms of interrelation that do not follow some heirarchal pattern which is fundamentally patriarchal. The opposite to patriarchy is not matriarchy but fraternity, yet I think it’s women who are... Germaine Greer
All the boys were grown up and done for by this time; so it is scarcely worth while saying anything more about them. You may see the twins and Nibs and Curly any day going to an office, each carrying a little bag and an umbrella. Michael is an engine driver. Slightly married a lady of title, and so he became a lord. You see that judge in a wig coming out at the iron door? That used to be Tootles. The bearded man who doesn't know any story to tell his children was once John. J. M. Barrie
And that's why, when they want to get rid of anyone, they usually bring him down here (like they were doing with me) and say they'll leave him to the ghosts. But I always wondered if they didn't really drown 'em or cut their throats. I never quite believed in the ghosts. But those two cowards you've just shot believed all right. They were more scared of taking me to my death than I was of going. C. S. Lewis
