Guessing Quotes (page 14)

You can guess this is how men have been handling Eva's hostility for her whole life. Just distract her. Get through the moment. Avoid confrontation. Run away. That's pretty much how we get through our own lives, watching television. Smoking crap. Self-medicating. Redirecting our own attention. Jacking off. Denial. Chuck Palahniuk
Arthur Conan Doyle quote: "I Never Guess, It's A Shocking Habit, Destructive To The..."
I Never Guess, It's A Shocking Habit, Destructive To The Logical Faculty. Arthur Conan Doyle
I was in Nashville, Tennessee last year. After the show I went to a Waffle House. I'm not proud of it, I was hungry. And I'm alone, I'm eating and I'm reading a book, right? Waitress walks over to me: 'Hey, whatcha readin' for?' Isn't that the weirdest fuckin' question you've ever heard? Not what am I reading, but what am I reading FOR? Well, goddamnit, ya stumped me! Why do I read? Well . . . hmmm...I dunno...I guess I read for a lot of reasons and the main one is so I don't end up being a... Bill Hicks
I guess I should say a little bit about my method - I really am a fence sitter. I *loathe* Science and am always keen to attack it in most situations, though not here, because I love Reason and I'm perfectly aware of the difference. I also know what a concept means like Rules of Evidence. I'm not sure that's a concept as widely circulated in these circles as it needs to be - in other words, how *do* you tell shit from shinola? That's very critical. I think reason can only take us a... Terence McKenna
Haruki Murakami quote: "Tell me, Doctor, are you afraid of death?"I guess it depends..."
Tell me, Doctor, are you afraid of death?"I guess it depends on how you die. Haruki Murakami
His trees were now hung all over with scrawled pieces of paper and bits of cardboard with maxims from Seneca and Shaftesbury, and with various objects; clusters of feathers, church candles, crowns of leaves, women's corsets, pistols, scales, tied to each other in certain order. The Ombrosians used to spend hours trying to guess what those symbols meant: nobles, Pope, virtue, war? I think some of them had no meaning at all but just served to jog his memory and make him realize that even the... Italo Calvino
The Cabbage White The butterfly, a cabbage-white, (His honest idiocy of flight) Will never now, it is too late, Master the art of flying straight, Yet has- who knows so well as I?- A just sense of how not to fly: He lurches here and here by guess And God and hope and hopelessness. Even the acrobatic swift Has not his flying-crooked gift. Robert Graves
You train yourself in the art of being mysterious to everyone. My dear friend! What if there were no one, who cared about guessing your riddle, what pleasure would you then take in it? Soren Kierkegaard
Henry Rollins quote: "Yes, I guess you could say I am a lonerbut I feel more lonely..."
Yes, I guess you could say I am a lonerbut I feel more lonely in a crowed room with boring people than I feel on my own Henry Rollins
In a sense, the better you adapt to school the less your chances are of later adapting to the actual world. So I figure, the worse you adapt to school, the better you will be able to handle reality when you finally manage to get loose at last from school, if that ever happens. But I guess I have what in the military they call a 'poor attitude,' which means 'shape up or ship out.' I always elected to ship out. Philip K. Dick
David Sedaris quote: "You have how many children in your family?" the teacher would..."
You have how many children in your family?" the teacher would ask. "I'm guessing you must be Catholic, am I right? David Sedaris
Charles M. Schulz quote: "I guess babysitters are like used cars... You never really..."
I guess babysitters are like used cars... You never really know what you're getting... Charles M. Schulz
Your mama finds you like that, she's going to pitch a fit." "The only way she'd find out is if you told her I'd come out here with you, and then she'd be too angry at you to yell at me." "Guess we're partners in crime, then. Jodi Picoult
Betty Smith quote: "Well," Francie decided, "I guess the thing that is giving me..."
Well," Francie decided, "I guess the thing that is giving me this headache is life-and nothing else but. Betty Smith
Just handling this ocean of different books—new and used, in and out of print, famous and forgotten—it was literature as this giant mosaic of texts and experiments and attitudes. I think it’s just very liberating to break out of a great man’s theory of history. I guess I’ve always liked working from that sense of—what would you call it?—license that the margins permit. I always just visualize myself writing books that were meant one day to be dusty, forgotten volumes being encountered by... Jonathan Lethem
