Here Quotes (page 182)

Pretty soon I wanted to smoke, and asked the widow to let me. But she wouldn't. She said it was a mean practice and wasn't clean, and I must try to not do it any more. That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don't know nothing about it. Here she was a-bothering about Moses, which was no kin to her, and no use to anybody, being gone, you see, yet finding a power of fault with me for doing a thing that had some good in it. And she took snuff, too; of course... Mark Twain
The river and the garden have been the foundations of my economy here. Of the two I have liked the river best. It is wonderful to have the duty of being on the river the first and last thing every day. I have loved it even in the rain. Sometimes I have loved it most in the rain. Wendell Berry
I like the stars. It’s the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they’re always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend… I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Gods come, and Gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. Worlds don’t last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend. Neil Gaiman
Judith Krantz quote: "it is strange, is it not, how an accident of millimeter here,..."
it is strange, is it not, how an accident of millimeter here, a millimeter there, makes one face so important. Judith Krantz
O, the lessons here for us! Name your discouraging setback—personal, political, scholarly, ecclesiastical, cultural, global. Dare any Christian say that God is not in this for the good of his people and the glory of his name? Not if our God is the God of Ezra! Do you think these setbacks are not without some great purpose of righteousness bigger and more stunning than any of us can imagine? John Piper
Sylvia Plath quote: "And I sit here without identity: faceless. My head aches."
And I sit here without identity: faceless. My head aches. Sylvia Plath
Roald Dahl quote: "There are no strangers in here, just friends you haven't met..."
There are no strangers in here, just friends you haven't met... Roald Dahl
Hunter S. Thompson quote: "What? No. We can't stop here. This is bat country."
What? No. We can't stop here. This is bat country. Hunter S. Thompson
I understood at once, I am not living, but actively dying. I am smoking, living unhealthily. I’m shutting down. I need to go the other way, inside. And it was so clear to me what I was doing. It was suddenly perfectly clear. I understood, I need to write. Live here, in my words, and my head. I need to go inside, that’s all. No big, complicated, difficult thing. I just need to go in reverse. And not worry about what to write about, but just write. Or, if I’m going to worry about what to... Augusten Burroughs
If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask. If you want a different kind of love I'll wear a mask. If you want to strike me down in anger here I stand. If you want a partner in life take my hand. I'm your man. Leonard Cohen
Sometimes we don't need words. Rather, it's words that need us. If we were no longer here, words would lose their whole function. They would end up as words that are never spoken, and words that aren't spoken are no longer words.- (Where I'm Likely To Find It) Haruki Murakami
Don DeLillo quote: "You and I. We're here. So might as well."
You and I. We're here. So might as well. Don DeLillo
Charlaine Harris quote: "I really, really wanted to lose awareness of the here and now...."
I really, really wanted to lose awareness of the here and now. The best way for me to do that was bury myself in a book. Charlaine Harris
It's only just beginning to occur to me that it's important to have something going on somewhere, at work or at home, otherwise you're just clinging on. [...] You need as much ballast as possible to stop you floating away; you need people around you, things going on, otherwise life is like some film where the money ran out, and there are no sets, or locations, or supporting actors, and it's just one guy on his own staring into the camera with nothing to do and nobody to speak to, and who'd... Nick Hornby
