Just Quotes (page 298)

The winter was not really winter at all, and therein may lie Key West's greatest charm. If one does not have to brood upon the coming of winter and the shortening of the days and the fading of the light, then perhaps one does not have to brood upon the coming of death. When the season is gentle and untreatening and seems to renew itself daily, we come to believe that spring and the long days of summer may be eternal after all. When we see the light trapped high in the sky on a summer evening,... James Lee Burke
As I work in the afternoon on committing to paper some of my morning's thoughts, I find myself just about to close on the knotty question of whether or not I believe in God. In fact I am about to type, 'I do not believe in God', when the sky goes black as ink, there is a thunderclap and a huge crash of thunder and a downpour of epic proportions. I never do complete the sentence. Michael Palin
It suddenly occurred to me that every move on the chessboard is old and has been played by somebody at some time. Maybe our own history has been played out by somebody at some time, and we just move our pieces about in the same moves to strike in the same way as people have always done. Karel Capek
But falling in love is always a pretty crazy thing. It might appear out of the blue and just grab you. Who knows—maybe even tomorrow. Haruki Murakami
Augusten Burroughs quote: "It turned out I had always been a smoker. I just hadn't had..."
It turned out I had always been a smoker. I just hadn't had any cigarettes. Augusten Burroughs
Ursula K. Le Guin quote: "If a book were written all in numbers, it would be true. It..."
If a book were written all in numbers, it would be true. It would be just. Nothing said in words ever came out quite even. Ursula K. Le Guin
And that taught me you can't have anything, you can't have anything at all. Because desire just cheats you. It's like a sunbeam skipping here and there about a room. It stops and gilds some inconsequential object, and we poor fools try to grasp it - but when we do the sunbeam moves on to something else, and you've got the inconsequential part, but the glitter that made you want it is gone. F. Scott Fitzgerald
I just wished to know if you mean to marry the girl. Spite of what you said of her lightness, I ha' known her long enough to be sure she'll make a noble wife for any one, let him be what he may; and I mean to stand by her like a brother; and if you mean rightly, you'll not think the worse on me for what I've now said; and if--but no, I'll not say what I'll do to the man who wrongs a hair of her head. He shall rue it to the longest day he lives, that's all. Now, sir, what I ask of you is this.... Elizabeth Gaskell
That’s the beauty aboot being polis: it doesnae really matter whether or not everybody hates you, as long as they’re civil tae your face and can put up a good front. You can only live in the world you ken. The rest is just wishful thinking or paranoia. Irvine Welsh
Meg Cabot quote: "It's just that the times I'm wrong don't register in your..."
It's just that the times I'm wrong don't register in your memory with as much clarity as the times I'm right. Meg Cabot
It did no good to cry, she had learned that early on. She had also learned that every time she tried to make someone aware of something in her life, the situation just got worse. Consequently it was up to her to solve her problems by herself, using whatever methods she deemed necessary. Steig Larsson
J. K. Rowling quote: "Depression isn't just being a bit sad. It's feeling nothing...."
Depression isn't just being a bit sad. It's feeling nothing. It's not wanting to be alive anymore. J. K. Rowling
Suzanne Collins quote: "Katniss when you're in the arena...you just remember who the..."
Katniss when you're in the arena...you just remember who the enemy is, that's all."-Haymitch Abernathy in Catching Fire Suzanne Collins
I made promises to you that I'm not sure I can keep. None of it has anything to do with you. It's just that I don't know what to do now. You must be thinking what a rotten person I am. Well, believe me, I'm thinking the same thing. I don't know how this happened or why. Maybe I can get over it. Do you think you can wait—because I don't want you to stop loving me. I keep remembering us and how it was. I don't want to hurt you … not ever … Judy Blume
If I'm away from you for more than an hour, I can't stop thinking about you. I carry you in my spirit. I pray for you more than I pray for myself...I know you don't believe in fairy tales. But, if you did, I'd want to be your knight in shining armor. You've been through so much. I don't want to see you hurt anymore. Now I may not be able to give you all that your used to. But I do know I can love you past your pain. I don't want you to worry about anything. You just wake up in the morning,... Tyler Perry
