His Quotes (page 487)

Birkin came with Hermione. She had a rapt, triumphant look, like the fallen angels restored, yet still subtly demoniacal, now she held Birkin by the arm. And he was expressionless, neutralised, possessed by her as if it were his fate, without question. David Herbert Lawrence
...all his prayers of the past had been simple concrete requests: God, give me a bicycle, a knife with seven blades, a box of oil-paints. Only how, how, could you say something so indefinite, so meaningless as this: God, let me be loved. Truman Capote
If it falls to your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music ... Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well. Martin Luther King jr.
Let each of us examine his thoughts; he will find them wholly concerned with the past or the future. We almost never think of the present, and if we do think of it, it is only to see what light is throws on our plans for the future. The present is never our end. The past and the present are our means, the future alone our end. Thus we never actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so. Blaise Pascal
We let off a Dungbomb in the corridor and it upset him for some reason--" "So he hauled us off to his office and started threatening us with the usual--" "--detention--" "--disembowelment-- J. K. Rowling
That's how it is: even in the throes of death, man is always on stage. And even 'the plainest' of them, the least exhibitionist, because it's not always the man himself who climbs on stage. If he doesn't do it, someone will put him there. That is his fate as a man. Milan Kundera
Rita Mae Brown quote: "He tried to drown his troubles but they knew how to swim."
He tried to drown his troubles but they knew how to swim. Rita Mae Brown
Leo Tolstoy quote: "Where is there any book of the law so clear to each man as..."
Where is there any book of the law so clear to each man as that written in his heart. Leo Tolstoy
The Lord commands us to do good unto all men without exception, though the majority are very undeserving when judged according to their own merits... [The Scripture] teaches us that we must not think of man's real value, but only of his creation in the image of God to which we owe all possible honor and love. John Calvin
She wished she could talk as he did. His speech was so quick and easy. It sounded as if he liked her and was not the least afraid she would not like him, though he was only a common moor boy, in patched clothes and with a funny face and a rough, rusty-red head. Frances Hodgson Burnett
Luca’s grandfather (who I hope is known as Nonno Spaghetti) gave him his first sky-blue Lazio jersey when the boy was just a toddler. Luca, likewise, will be a Lazio fan until he dies. “We can change our wives,” he said. “We can change our jobs, our nationalities and even our religions, but we can never change our team.” By the way, the word for “fan” in Italian is tifoso. Derived from the word for typhus. In other words—one who is mightily fevered. Elizabeth Gilbert
It takes so little, a tiny puff of air, for things to shift imperceptibly and whatever it was that a man was ready to lay down his life for a few seconds earlier, seems suddenly to be sheer nonsense Milan Kundera
Wine is a dangerous thing, and should not be made the exponent of truth, let the truth be good as it may; but it has the merit of forcing a man to show his true colors. Anthony Trollope
Georgette Heyer quote: "He has probably gnawed his nails down to the quick, or..."
He has probably gnawed his nails down to the quick, or murdered poor Mr. Orde. Georgette Heyer
Thornton Wilder quote: "Many who have dedicated their life to love, can tell us less..."
Many who have dedicated their life to love, can tell us less about this subject than a child who lost his dog yesterday. Thornton Wilder
