Good Quotes (page 306)

Of all the consumer products, chewing gum is perhaps the most ridiculous: it literally has no nourishment – you just chew it to give yourself something to do with your stupid idiot Western mouth. Half the world is starving, and the other’s going, ‘I don’t actually need any nutrition, but it would be good to masticate, just to keep my mind off things. Russell Brand

P. J. O'Rourke quote: "Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in..."
Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. P. J. O'Rourke
In our time mass or collective production has entered our economics, our politics, even our religion, so that some nations have substituted the idea collective for the idea God. This in my time is the danger. There is great tension in the world, tension toward a breaking point, and men are unhappy and confused. At such a time it seems natural and good to me to ask myself these questions. What do I believe in? What must I fight for and what must I fight against? John Steinbeck
I will have nothing to do with a God who cares only occasionally. I need a God who is with us always, everywhere, in the deepest depths as well as the highest heights. It is when things go wrong, when good things do not happen, when our prayers seem to have been lost, that God is most present. We do not need the sheltering wings when things go smoothly. We are closest to God in the darkness, stumbling along blindly. Madeleine L'Engle
Voltaire quote: "The discovery of what is true and the practice of that which..."
The discovery of what is true and the practice of that which is good are the two most important aims of philosophy. Voltaire
Cheat your landlord if you can and must, but do not try to shortchange the Muse. It cannot be done. You can't fake quality any more than you can fake a good meal. William S. Burroughs
E. E. Cummings quote: "down with hell and heaven and all the religious fussinfinity..."
down with hell and heaven and all the religious fussinfinity pleased our parents one inch looks good to us E. E. Cummings
You are doing the best you can, and that best results in good to yourself and to others. Do not nag yourself with a sense of failure. Get on your knees and ask for the blessings of the Lord;then stand on your feet and do what you are asked to do. Gordon B. Hinckley
I stood my ground. "You evil scientist are all the same--evil. Count me out."Fang and I brushed past Mr. God and walked quickly but smoothly to the exit. It was barely noon, and I'd already made a huge enemy. Dang, I'm good. James Patterson
Arthur Conan Doyle quote: "It is a great thing to start life with a small number of..."
It is a great thing to start life with a small number of really good books which are your very own. Arthur Conan Doyle
Why were you lurking under our window?"Yes - yes, good point, Petunia! What were you doing under our windows, boy?"Listening to the news," said Harry in a resigned voice. His aunt and uncle exchanged looks of outrage."Listening to the news! Again?"Well, it changes every day, you see," said Harry. J. K. Rowling
Of all the various kinds of sexual intercourse, this has the least to recommend it. As an amusement, it is too fleeting; as an occupation, it is too wearing; as a public exhibition, there is no money in it. It is unsuited to the drawing room, and in the most cultured society it has long been banished from the social board. It has at last, in our day of progress and improvement, been degraded to brotherhood with flatulence. Among the best bred, these two arts are now indulged in only... Mark Twain
If I used to ask myself, over a coffin: “What good did it do the occupant to be born?”, I now put the same question about anyone alive. Emile M. Cioran
