Goodness Quotes (page 368)

Up home we loved a good storm coming, we’d fly outdoors and run up and down to meet it,” her mother used to say. “We children would run as fast as we could go along the top of that mountain when the wind was blowing, holding our arms right open. The wilder it blew the better we liked it. Eudora Welty
Nick Hornby quote: "I guess I should have forgotten about it ages ago, but..."

lodie, who was rising fifteen, lifted her anaemic, puffy, virginal face with its wispy hair; she was so thin-blooded that good country air seemed only to make her more sickly. Emile Zola
But maybe it's wrong of me to complain? I'm alive after all? and I lose an enemy or two every day? cancer, apoplexy, gluttony? it's a pleasure the number that pass on!? I'm not hard to please? a name!? another!? there are good things in life? Louis-Ferdinand Celine

So the laws of good driving forbade you to go off the magic ribbon except in extreme emergencies. You were ethically entitled to several inches of margin at the right-hand edge; and the man approaching you was entitled to an equal number of inches; which left a remainder of inches between the two projectiles as they shot by. It sounds risky as one tells it, but the heavens are run on the basis of similar calculations, and while collisions do happen, they leave time enough in between for... Upton Sinclair
Meanwhile, we’d been kicked out of school at fifteen and had worked in factories and slaughtered animals for a living, but then we’d made something of ourselves, even though the whole system was against us. So how upset could we be when clever people said we were no good? Ozzy Osbourne

Evil to some is always good to others Jane Austen
Away with them, away; we should not believe fairy stories if we wish to be good. Think of them as persons from the fairy wood. Stevie Smith
We catched fish, and talked, and we took a swim now and then to keep off sleepiness. It was kind of solemn, drifting down the big still river, laying on our backs looking up at the stars, and we didn’t ever feel like talking loud, and it warn’t often that we laughed, only a kind of low chuckle. We had mighty good weather, as a general thing, and nothing ever happened to us at all, that night, nor the next, nor the next. Mark Twain
You are good when you walk to your goal firmly and with bold steps. Yet you are not evil when you go thither limping. For those who limp go not backwards. But you who are strong and swift, see that you do not limp before the lame, deeming it kindness. Khalil Gibran
Be famous. Be a big social experiment in getting what you don't want. Find value in what we've been taught is worthless. Find good in what the world says is evil. I'm giving you my life because I want the whole world to know you. I wish the whole world would embrace what it hates. Find what you're afraid of most and go live there. Chuck Palahniuk
That would be no good," said the wizard, "not without a mighty. Warrior, even a Hero. I tried to find one; but warriors are busy fightingone another in distant lands, and in this neighbourhood heroes are scarce, or simply not to be found. J. R. R. Tolkien

When it rained, he just crept in under his ears and was warm and snug as could be. Not that the ears had such a rattling good time of it, you understand. If it was specially bad weather, he'd invite friends and acquaintances to pitch camp under his ears too. There they sat, singing their sorrowful songs... Astrid Lindgren
It is not the pretended but the real pursuit of philosophy that is needed for we do not need the appearance of good health but to enjoy it in truth. Epicurus
