Great Quotes (page 128)

I think we are just insects, we live a bit and then die and that’s the lot. There’s no mercy in things. There’s not even a Great Beyond. There’s nothing. John Fowles
The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too. Samuel Butler
Video games are a waste of time for men with nothing else to do. Real brains don't do that. On occasion? Sure. As relaxation? Great. But not full tim? And a lot of people are doing that. And while they're doing that, I'll go ahead and write another novel. Ray Bradbury
H. P. Lovecraft quote: "The Man of Truth has learned that Illusion is the One Reality,..."
The Man of Truth has learned that Illusion is the One Reality, and that Substance is the Great Impostor. H. P. Lovecraft
Fancy can hardly forbear to conjecture with what temper Milton surveyed the silent progress of his work, and marked his reputation stealing its way in a kind of subterraneous current through fear and silence. I cannot but conceive him calm and confident, little disappointed, not at all dejected, relying on his own great merit with steady consciousness, and waiting, without impatience, the vicissitudes of opinion, and the impartiality of a future generation. Samuel Johnson
Charles Baudelaire quote: "Nations, like families, have great men only in spite of..."
Nations, like families, have great men only in spite of themselves. Charles Baudelaire
The great teachers fill you up with hope and shower you with a thousand reasons to embrace all aspects of life. I wanted to follow Mr. Monte around for the rest of my life, learning everything he wished to share of impart, but I didn't know how to ask. Pat Conroy
The fields are black and ploughed, and they lie like a great fan before us, with their furrows gathered in some hand beyond the sky, spreading forth from that hand, opening wide apart as they come toward us, like black pleats that sparkle with thin, green spangles. Ayn Rand
It's your weakness gives them their strength. Mark how they dare not speak to me. A nameless horror has descended on you, keeping us apart. And yet why should this be? What have you lived through that I have not shared? Do you imagine that my mother's cries will ever cease ringing in my ears? Or that my eyes will ever cease to see her great sad eyes, lakes of lambent darkness in the pallor of it will ever cease ravaging my heart? But what matter? I am free. Beyond anguish, beyond remorse.... Jean-Paul Sartre
Amelia Barr quote: "The great difference between voyages rests not in ships, but..."
The great difference between voyages rests not in ships, but in the people you meet on them. Amelia Barr
Honour to the immortal dead, that great ... company of shining souls who gave their youth that the world might grow old in peace. Joseph Banks
A great deal of phenomenal experience has fostered in me a flexibility of the mind and imagination that some might call madness Dean Koontz
Do not conquer the world with force, for force only causes resistance. Thorns spring up when an army passes. Years of misery follow a great victory. Do only what needs to be done without using violence. Lao Tzu
Just to be in love seemed the most blissful luxury I had ever known. The thought came to me that perhaps it is the loving that counts, not the being loved in return -- that perhaps true loving can never know anything but happiness. For a moment I felt that I had discovered a great truth. Dodie Smith
All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership. John Kenneth Galbraith
