I May Not Be Quotes (page 25)

Jaweh is clearly not a Nature-God. He does not die and come to life each year as a true Corn-king should. He may give wine and fertility, but must not be worshipped with Bacchanalian or aphrodisiac rites. C. S. Lewis
White people...have quite enough to do in learning how to accept and love themselves and each other, and when they have achieved this -- which will not be tomorrow and may very well be never -- the Negro problem will no longer exist, for it will no longer be needed. James Baldwin
Do not be proud of the fact that your grandmother was shocked at something which your are accustomed to seeing or hearing without being shocked. ... It may be that your grandmother was an extremely lively and vital animal and that you are a paralytic. Gilbert K. Chesterton
In this there is no measuring with time, a year doesn’t matter, and ten years are nothing. Being an artist means: not numbering and counting, but ripening like a tree, which doesn’t force its sap, and stands confidently in the storms of spring, not afraid that afterward summer may not come. It does come. But it comes only to those who are patient, who are there as if eternity lay before them, so unconcernedly silent and vast. I learn it every day of my life, learn it with pain I am grateful... Rainer Maria Rilke
Sing to me," she said. "That would be valiant, to raise your voice in this dark, lonely place, and it will be useful as well. Sing to me, sing loudly-drown out my dreams, keep me from remembering whatever wants me to remember it. Sing to me, my lord prince, if it please you. It may not seem a hero's task, but I would be glad of it. Peter S. Beagle
It should be possible to exist with only a short shelf of books, to read and give away. After all - we may not open a book, once read, for ten years or more. But the act of reading has made it part of us - to relinquish it would be to lose an extension of our being. Pam Brown
Willard Gaylin quote: "A man may not always be what he appears to be, but what he..."
A man may not always be what he appears to be, but what he appears to be is always a significant part of what he is. Willard Gaylin
It could be that the methods needed to take the next step may simply be beyond present day mathematics. Perhaps the methods I needed to complete the proof would not be invented for a hundred years. Andrew Wiles
I should like these few words to be read over the grave when my body is placed in the earth; for though it is possible I may be present and conscious of what is going on, I shall not be able to communicate. Edward Carpenter
Stephen Leacock quote: "Golf may be played on Sunday, not being a game within the view..."
Golf may be played on Sunday, not being a game within the view of the law, but being a form of moral effort. Stephen Leacock
Maurice Sendak quote: "I hate those e-books. They can not be the future... they may..."
I hate those e-books. They can not be the future... they may well be... I will be dead. Maurice Sendak
Anthony Burgess quote: "A novelist should not be too intelligent either, although......"
A novelist should not be too intelligent either, although... he may be permitted to be an intellectual. Anthony Burgess
I find relief from the questions only when I concede that I am not obliged to know everything. I remind myself it is sufficient to know what I know, and that what I know, may not always be true. Maya Angelou
If I am missed it will appear. I may be discovered by those who want to see me. I shall not be in any doubtful, or distant, or unapproachable region. Jane Austen
..The fun of talk is to explore, but much of it and all that is irresponsible should not be written. Once written you have to stand by it. You may have said it to see whether you believed it or not. Ernest Hemingway
