Going Quotes (page 566)

I said that I thought the secret of life was obvious: be here now, love as if your whole life depended on it, find your life's work, and try to get hold of a giant panda. If you had a giant panda in your back yard, anything could go wrong? someone could die, or stop loving you, or you could get sick? and if you could look outside and see this adorable, ridiculous, boffo panda, you'd start to laugh; you'd be so filled with thankfulness and amusement that everything would be O.K. again. Anne Lamott
Henry Rollins quote: "Always knowing you're going to die. And until then knowing..."
Always knowing you're going to die. And until then knowing you've got to live. Henry Rollins
If friends disappoint you over and over, that's in large part your own fault. Once someone has shown a tendency to be self-centered, you need to recognize that and take care of yourself; people aren't going to change simply because you want them to. Oprah Winfrey
...Wherever we go we carry this burden of our personal consciousness and wherever we step we open it out over our heads like a great baleful cotton umbrella to obstruct the prospect and obscure the light of heaven. Henry James
When you want something bad, you'll tell yourself a thousand lies. Like: The fifth time's the charms. Like: Things between Zoe and me will be better once the baby's born. Like: One sip isn't going to kill me. Jodi Picoult
E. M. Forster quote: "It happened like this, if it happened at all. I would rather..."
It happened like this, if it happened at all. I would rather go up to heaven by myself than be pushed by cherubs. E. M. Forster
Do you know why books such as this are so important? Because they have quality. And what does the word quality mean? To me it means texture. This book has pores. It has features. This book can go under the microscope. You'd find life under the glass, streaming past in infinite profusion. The more pores, the more truthfully recoded details of life per square inch you can get on a sheet of paper, the more 'literary' you are - Faber Ray Bradbury
Tracy Kidder quote: "In order to go on with our lives, we are always capable of..."
In order to go on with our lives, we are always capable of making the ominous into the merely strange. Tracy Kidder
Woe entreats: Go! Away, woe! But all that suffers wants to live, that it may become ripe and joyous and longing- longing for what is farther, higher, brighter. "I want heirs"- thus speaks all that suffers; "I want children; I do not want myself". Joy, however, does not want heirs, or children- joy wants itself, wants eternity, wants recurrence, wants everything eternally the same. Friedrich Nietzsche
I'm sure I'm not Ada for her hair goes in such long ringlets, and mine does'nt go in ringlets at all; and I'm sure I'm not Mabel, for I know all sorts of things, and she's she and I'm I, and-oh dear, how puzzling it all is! i'll try if I know all the things I used to know. Let me see: four times five is tweleve, and four times six is thirteen, and four times seven is-oh dear! I shall never get to tewnty at that rate! However, the Multiplication- Table doesn't signify: let's try geography.... Lewis Carroll
You'll have to ask Bill that, Sookie. And this is the only reason we're going? You're not cleverly usingthis as an excuse to make out with me?"I'm not that clever, Eric."I think you deceive yourself, Sookie," Eric said with a brilliant smile. (Living Dead in Dallas) Charlaine Harris
Lula had Eminem cranked up. He was rapping about trailer park girls and how they go round the outside, and I was wondering what the heck that meant. I'm a white girl from Trenton. I don't know these things. I need a rapcheat sheet. Janet Evanovich
The truth was that for some months he had been going through that partitioning of the things of youth wherein it is decided whether or not to die for what one no longer believes. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Leo Durocher quote: "Kid, show me a man who doesn't go down on his wife and I'll..."
Kid, show me a man who doesn't go down on his wife and I'll show you a man whose wife I can sleep with, tonight. Leo Durocher
Roger Zelazny quote: "There's really nothing quite like someone's wanting you dead..."
There's really nothing quite like someone's wanting you dead to make you want to go on living. Roger Zelazny
