Going Quotes (page 356)

What's going on? A soul? Did you say, a soul? What the hell! Next thing you know we'll have cholera again. What did I tell you? [He tossed the thin one on his horns.] I told you so... we should operate on all of them, on the imagination. Extirpate the imagination. Surgery's the only answer... nothing but surgery... Yevgeny Zamyatin
Tom Robbins quote: "It’s no wonder people lack romance in their lives, love..."
It’s no wonder people lack romance in their lives, love belongs to those who are willing to go to extremes for it. Tom Robbins
Reminded of favorite poem by Wendy Cope which goes: At Christmas little children sing and merry bells jingle. The cold winter air makes our hands and faces tingle. And happy families go to church and cheerily they mingle, And the whole business is unbelievably dreadful if you're single. Helen Fielding
Sometimes I feel like I’m actually on the wrong planet. It’s great when I’m in my garden, but the minute I go out the gate I think, ‘What the hell am I doing here? George Harrison
Bill Watterson quote: "It's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy ... let's go exploring!"
It's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy ... let's go exploring! Bill Watterson
If I were going to begin practicing the presence of God for the first time today, it would help to begin by admitting the three most terrible truths of our existence: that we are so ruined, and so loved, and in charge of so little. Anne Lamott
One thing you know when you're ten is that no matter what, there's gonna be a happy ending. They can sweat all they want, the authors, but back of it all you know, you just have no doubt, that in the long run justice is going to win out. William Goldman
French intellectual life has, in my opinion, been turned into something cheap and meretricious by the 'star' system. It is like Hollywood. Thus we go from one absurdity to another - Stalinism, existentialism. Lacan, Derrida - some of them obscene ( Stalinism), some simply infantile and ridiculous ( Lacan, Derrida). What is striking, however, is the pomposity and self-importance, at each stage. Noam Chomsky
Though you feel you're not where you're suppose to be, you shouldn't worry because that next turn that you take, it will lead you to where you wanna go. Ellen DeGeneres
Finding the real joy of Christmas comes not in the hurrying and the scurrying to get more done, nor is it found in the purchasing of gifts. We find real joy when we make the Savior the focus of the season. We can keep Him in our thoughts and in our lives as we go about the work He would have us perform here on earth. At this time, particularly, let us follow His example as we love and serve our fellowman. Thomas S. Monson
Tad Williams quote: "but sometimes when things go very wrong and even the highest..."
but sometimes when things go very wrong and even the highest are frightened, innocence is not enough for salvation. Tad Williams
Of the value traps, the most widespread and pernicious is value rigidity. This is an inability to revalue what one sees because of commitment to previous values. In motorcycle maintenance, you MUST rediscover what you do as you go. Rigid values makes this impossible. Robert M. Pirsig
As brothers and sister we knew instinctively that if we were going to stand in darkness, best we stand in a darkness we had made ourselves. Doug Coupland
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "I didn't like having my inhibitions lowered. If i was going to..."
I didn't like having my inhibitions lowered. If i was going to cut loose, i wanted to be in control of just how loose i got. Laurell K. Hamilton
He had a tremendous propensity for getting lost when driving. This was largely because of his method of “Zen” navigation, which was simply to find any car that looked as if it knew where it was going and follow it. The results were more often surprising than successful, but he felt it was worth it for the sake of the few occasions when it was both. Douglas Adams
