Hits Quotes (page 13)

When hit with a genius idea, people tend to say, "Well, if I sat down in a chair and really thought about it, I could have had that genius idea, too." But they didn't--and even if they'd wanted to, it could never have happened. Doug Coupland
So . . . middle school? Awkward. Having a hobby that's different from everyone else's? Awkward. Singing the national anthem on weekends instead of going to sleepovers? More awkward. Braces? Awkward. Gain a lot of weight before you hit the growth spurt? Awkward. Frizzy hair, don't embrace the curls yet? Awkward. Try to straighten it? Awkward! So many phases! Taylor Swift
If you are fortunate enough to be part of a hit, particularly a transcendent one, all emotional ownership is transferred from you to the audience. They judge it and embrace it; project their own hopes, dreams, and fears onto it; take their personal meaning from its themes, and with these investments it becomes theirs. The significance of your participation pales in comparison to the significance the project has on their imaginations. Rob Lowe
I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird. Harper Lee
But if you ever bring her back damaged again--and I don't care whose fault it is; I don't care if she merely trips, or if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her in the head--if you return her to me in less than the perfect condition that I left her in, you will be running with three legs. Do you understand that, mongrel? Stephenie Meyer
Otis Criblecoblis quote: "I've never hit a woman in my life. Not even my own mother."
I've never hit a woman in my life. Not even my own mother. Otis Criblecoblis
Everything was everything. But baby its the last show. Everything could be everything. But it's time to say goodbye so. Get your last fix, and your last hit. Grab your old girl with her new tricks Lady Gaga
Haruki Murakami quote: "Imagine The Greatest Hits of Bobby Darin minus 'Mack the..."
Imagine The Greatest Hits of Bobby Darin minus 'Mack the Knife.' That's what my life would be like without you. Haruki Murakami
The truth is, I hoped the cure would dislike me. I tried to think of disagreeable things to say to him -- I could hit on nothing that wasn't charming. It's wonderful how hard I find it not to be fascinating. Andre Gide
John Kenneth Galbraith quote: "Then the shit hit the fan."
Then the shit hit the fan. John Kenneth Galbraith
Dwarfs were not a naturally religious species, but in a world where pit props could crack without warning and pockets of fire damp could suddenly explode they'd seen the need for gods as the sort of supernatural equivalent of a hard hat. Besides, when you hit your thumb with an eight-pound hammer it's nice to be able to blaspheme. It takes a very special and strong-minded kind of atheist to jump up and down with their hand clasped under their other armpit and shout, "Oh,... Terry Prachett
I always told myself I didn't do it because I don't hold with hitting women. I still don't. But when a person-man or woman-turns into a dog and begins to bite, someone has to shy it off. Stephen King
You have to look at Jews like Bina Gelbfish, to explain the wide range and persistence of the race. Jews who carry their homes in an old cowhide bag, on the back of a camel, in the bubble of air at the center of their brains. Jews who land on their feet, hit the ground running, ride out the vicissitudes, and make the best of what falls to hand, from Egypt to Babylon, from Minsk Gubernya to the district of Sitka. Methodological, organised, persistent, resourceful, prepared... A mere re-drawing... Michael Chabon
Terry Prachett quote: "only to people!' shouted Rincewind. He drew his sword and,..."
only to people!' shouted Rincewind. He drew his sword and, with a smooth overarm throw, completely failed to hit the troll. Terry Prachett
You do not know how the people of this country bear malice. It is the boast of some of them that they can keep a stone in their pocket seven years, turn it at the end of that time, keep it seven years longer, and hurl it and hit their mark at last. Charlotte Bronte
