Holding Quotes (page 65)

Your divine should not have used water. It just doesn't hold the attention properly. Wine. Or blood, in a pinch. Some liquid that matters. Lois McMaster Bujold
Maybe there is no better novel in the world than Denton Welch's In Youth Is Pleasure. Just holding it in my hands, so precious, so beyond gay, so deliciously subversive, is enough to make illiteracy a worse social crime than hunger. John Waters
I know that when people pull apart, they usually employ misunderstanding as a weapon, deliberately getting hold of the stick's wrong end, impaling themselves on its point in order to prove the perfidy of the other. Salman Rushdie
I seemed to hold two lives - the life of thought, and that of reality; and, provided the former was nourished with a sufficiency of the strange necromantic joys of fancy, the privileges of the latter might remain limited to daily bread, hourly work, and a roof of shelter. Charlotte Bronte
H. G. Wells quote: "I suppose a suicide who holds a pistol to his skull feels much..."
I suppose a suicide who holds a pistol to his skull feels much the same wonder at what will come next as I felt then. H. G. Wells
The worst of all of this is the lie that condoms really protect against AIDS. The condom failure rate can be as high as 20 percent. Would you get on a plane? or put your children on a plane? if one of five passengers would be killed on the flight? Well, the statistic holds for condoms, folks. Rush Limbaugh
Julian Barnes quote: "But cockteasing is also a metaphor: she is someone who will..."
But cockteasing is also a metaphor: she is someone who will manipulate your inner self while holding hers back from you. Julian Barnes
that each ejaculation contains several billion sperm cells –or roughly the same number as there are people in the world– which means that, in himself, each man holds the potential of an entire world. And what would happen, could it happen, is the full range of possibilities: a spawn of idiots and geniuses, of the beautiful and the deformed, of saints, catatonics, thieves, stock brokers, and high-wire artists. Each man, therefore, is the entire world, bearing within his genes a memory of all... Paul Auster
Can't you see me as king of the Hereford ranchers, Lucy?"Oh, I can see you, all right... I can see you riding out on your beautiful palomino checking the herd... There you sit, silhouetted against the evening sky... Sucking your thumb and holding that stupid blanket! Charles M. Schulz
She also considered very seriously what she would look like in a little cottage in the middle of the forest, dressed in a melancholy gray and holding communion only with the birds and trees; a life of retirement away from the vain world; a life into which no man came. It had its attractions, but she decided that gray did not suit her. A. A. Milne
Newton's Third Law of Conversation, if it existed, would hold that every statement implies an equal and opposite statement. To say that I'd turned the offer down raised the possibility that I might not have done. Hugh Laurie
Bruce Springsteen quote: "The great challenge of adulthood is holding on to your..."
The great challenge of adulthood is holding on to your idealism after you lose your innocence. Bruce Springsteen
As children of God we are somebody. He will build us, mold us, and magnify us if we will but hold our heads up, our arms out, and walk with him. Marvin J. Ashton
Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to thin? John Stuart Mill
Anthony de Mello quote: "This truth I firmly hold, all evidence to the contrary..."
This truth I firmly hold, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding; my life has been a gift, a blessing to the world. Anthony de Mello
