How Quotes (page 121)

The obvious types of American fascists are dealt with on the air and in the press. These demagogues and stooges are fronts for others. Dangerous as these people may be, they are not so significant as thousands of other people who have never been mentioned. The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the... Henry A. Wallace

I can normally tell how intelligent a man is by how stupid he thinks I am. Cormac McCarthy
See how he cowers and sneaks, how vaguely all the day he fears, not being immortal nor divine, but the slave and prisoner of his own opinion of himself, a fame won by his own deeds. Henry David Thoreau
Charles Dickens quote: "Not knowing how he lost himself, or how he recovered himself,..."
Not knowing how he lost himself, or how he recovered himself, he may never feel certain of not losing himself again. Charles Dickens
Language, she said, was just our way to explain away the wonder and glory of the world. To deconstruct. To dismiss. She said people can't deal with how beautiful the world really is. How it can't be explained and understood. Chuck Palahniuk
Connection is health. And what our society does its best to disguise from us is how ordinary, how commonly attainable, health is. We lose our health - and create profitable diseases and dependences - by failing to see the direct connections between living and eating, eating and working, working and loving. In gardening, for instance, one works with the body to feed the body. The work, if it is knowledgeable, makes for excellent food. And it makes one hungry. The work thus makes eating... Wendell Berry
When people say to me, 'Why are you so good at writing at women?' I say, 'Why isn't everybody?' Obviously there are differences between men and women - that's what makes it all fun. But we're all people. There's a lot of good writers who are very humanist, but still manage to kind of skip fifty-five per cent of the race. And I just don't get that. Not to be able to write an entire gender? To me, the question isn't how do you do it? It's how can you possibly avoid doing it? Joss Whedon
J. K. Rowling quote: "As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it..."
As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters. I wish you all very good lives. J. K. Rowling
We shall see how the counsels of prudence and restraint may become the prime agents of mortal danger; how the middle course adopted from desires for safety and a quiet life may be found to lead direct to the bull's-eye of disaster. Winston Churchill
Yet this book is to prove that no matter how you travel, how 'successful' your tour, or foreshortened, you always learn something and learn to change your thoughts. Jack Kerouac
Her haunting me. The way a song stays in your head. The way you think life should be. How anything holds yourattention. How your past goes with you into every day of your future. Chuck Palahniuk
We need students who can learn how to learn, who can discover how to push themselves and are generous enough and honest enough to engage with the outside world to make those dreams happen. Seth Godin
Paulo Coelho quote: "Lovers need to know how to lose themselves and then how to..."
Lovers need to know how to lose themselves and then how to find themselves again. Paulo Coelho
If I should see your eyes again, I know how far their look would go -- Back to a morning in the park With sapphire shadows on the snow. Or back to oak trees in the spring When you unloosed my hair and kissed The head that lay against your knees In the leaf shadow's amethyst. And still another shining place We would remember -- how the dun Wild mountain held us on its crest One diamond morning white with sun. But I will turn my eyes from you As women turn to put away The jewels they have worn... Sara Teasdale
Amy Tan quote: "When you already believe something, how can you suddenly stop?..."
When you already believe something, how can you suddenly stop? When you are a loyal friend, how can you no longer be one? Amy Tan
