I Am Who I Am Quotes (page 51)

Paul saith, 'Not of works, lest any man should boast.' Now, faith excludes all boasting. The hand which receives charity does not say, 'I am to be thanked for accepting the gift'; that would be absurd. When the hand conveys bread to the mouth it does not say to the body, 'Thank me; for I feed you.' It is a very simple thing that the hand does though a very necessary thing; and it never arrogates glory to itself for what it does. So God has selected faith to receive the unspeakable gift of His... Charles Spurgeon
Almost everyone can remember losing his or her virginity, and most writers can remember the first book he/she put down thinking: I can do better than this. Hell, I am doing better than this! What could be more encouraging to the struggling writer than to realize his/her work is unquestionably better than that of someone who actually got paid for his/her stuff? Stephen King
I am always chilled and astonished by the would-be writers who ask me for advice and admit, quite blithely, that they "don't have time to read." This is like a guy starting up Mount Everest saying that he didn't have time to buy any rope or pitons. Stephen King
What does a river know about this and what does a tree know? And I, who am no more than those, what do I know? Every time I look at things and think about what men think about them, I laugh like how a brook sounds cool on a stone. Fernando Pessoa
Shel Silverstein quote: "When I am gone what will you do? Who will write and draw for..."
When I am gone what will you do? Who will write and draw for you? Someone smarter-someone new? Someone better-maybe YOU! Shel Silverstein
I expected this reception. All men hate the wretched; how, then, must I be hated, who am miserable beyond all living things! Yet you, my creator, detest and spurn me, thy creature, to whom thou art bound by ties only dissoluble by the annihilation of one of us. You purpose to kill me. How dare you sport thus with life? Do your duty towards me, and I will do mine towards you and the rest of mankind. If you will comply with my conditions, I will leave them and you at peace; but if you refuse, I... Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me; I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men. You had better return to your partner and enjoy her smiles, for you are wasting your time with me. Jane Austen
Here I am flying high over enemy lines in my Sopwith Camel searching for the Red Baron. Who's that behind me? It's the Red Baron! He has me in his sights! Give my regards to Broadway. Charles M. Schulz
Lois McMaster Bujold quote: "I am who I choose to be. I have always been what I chose,..."
I am who I choose to be. I have always been what I chose, though not always what I pleased. Lois McMaster Bujold
Michael Palin quote: "I am very cautious of people who are absolutely right,..."
I am very cautious of people who are absolutely right, especially when they are vehemently so. Michael Palin
Now I will be anything else you please, except dull. You may say I have been dull already? As I am an honest woman, I don't agree with you. There are some people who bring dull minds to their reading - and them blame the writer for it. I say no more. Wilkie Collins
I thought I knew who you were, but I see now you were a lesson to learn, and all I am to you now is a bridge that’s been burned. Christina Aguilera
Leonard Cohen quote: "I am not the one who loved, it's love that chooses me. When..."
I am not the one who loved, it's love that chooses me. When hatred with it's package comes, you forbid delivery. Leonard Cohen
I am only a cup that knowledge holds. It does not to knowledge matter how poor the cup is. It is the wisdom of those who drink of me that me wise makes. Fools make a sibyl foolish, wherever she is. Joan D. Vinge
In two weeks, despite these notes, I shall no longer believe in what I am experiencing now. One must leave behind a trace of this journey which memory forgets. One must, when this is impossible, write or draw without responding to the romantic solicitations of pain, without enjoying suffering like music, tieing a pen to one's foot if need be, helping the doctors who can learn nothing from laziness. Jean Cocteau
