Highness Quotes (page 88)

Whoa. If high school was suppose to be the best years of my life - at least so far - I was truly destined to have a sucky adulthood. Meg Cabot
A room? A nice room? A beautiful room? A beautiful room with bath? Swing high, swing low, swing to and fro...This happened and that happened...And then the days came and I was alone. Jean Rhys
I was unfair to him, of course, but where would I have been without unfairness? In thrall, in harness. Young women need unfairness, it's one of their few defenses. They need their callousness, they need their ignorance. They walk in the dark, along the edges of high cliffs, humming to themselves, thinking themselves invulnerable. Margaret Atwood
Sam Ewing quote: "Computers will never take the place of books. You can't stand..."
Computers will never take the place of books. You can't stand on a floppy disk to reach a high shelf. Sam Ewing
If you look at history, even recent history, you see that there is indeed progress. . . . Over time, the cycle is clearly, generally upwards. And it doesn't happen by laws of nature. And it doesn't happen by social laws. . . . It happens as a result of hard work by dedicated people who are willing to look at problems honestly, to look at them without illusions, and to go to work chipping away at them, with no guarantee of success? in fact, with a need for a rather high tolerance for failure...

That like I best that flies beyond my reach. Set me to scale the high pyramids And thereon set the diadem of France; I'll either rend it with my nails to nought, Or mount the top with my aspiring wings, Although my downfall be the deepest hell. Christopher Marlowe
So, the gods don't hand out all their gifts at once, not build and brains and flowing speech to all. One man may fail to impress us with his looks but a god can crown his words with beauty, charm, and men look on with delight when he speaks out. Never faltering, filled with winning self-control, he shines forth at assembly grounds and people gaze at him like a god when he walks through the streets. Another man may look like a deathless one on high but there's not a bit of grace to crown his... Homer
People don't remember me. Really. It's not a paranoid thing; I just have this habit of slipping through memories. It doesn't bother me all that much, except I guess that's a lie; it does. For some reason, I test very high on forgettability. William Goldman
Lewis Carroll quote: "Rule Forty-two. All persons more than a mile high to leave the..."
Rule Forty-two. All persons more than a mile high to leave the court. Lewis Carroll
Many are the stories I have heard about myself. I have mistresses I have never met. When I hear that I am a sodomist and a zoophalist then I shall know that I have reached the high point of fame, but I suppose I can hardly expect such exaltation for many years. John Steinbeck
J. K. Rowling quote: "Harry Potter was a highly unusual boy in many ways."
Harry Potter was a highly unusual boy in many ways. J. K. Rowling
A singer can shatter glass with the proper high note," he said, "but the simplest way to break glass is simply to drop it on the floor. Anne Rice
When you start thinking about what your life was like 10 years ago--and not in general terms, but in highly specific detail--it's disturbing to realize how certain elements of your being are completely dead. They die long before you do. It's astonishing to consider all the things from your past that used to happen all the time but (a) never happen anymore, and (b) never even cross your mind. It's almost like those things didn't happen. Or maybe it seems like they just happened to someone... Chuck Klosterman
Hadst thou sought the whole earth over," said he, looking darkly at the clergyman, "there was no place so secret- no high place nor lowly place, where thou couldst have escaped me,- save on this very scaffold! Nathaniel Hawthorne
Thomas Friedman quote: "I have a daughter who is a sophomore in college and another..."
I have a daughter who is a sophomore in college and another who is in the 11th grade of high school. Thomas Friedman
