Just Quotes (page 515)

I feel like there's something terrible and wonderful and amazing that's just beyond my grasp. I have dreams about it. I do dream, by the way. It hovers over me at odd moments. And then it's gone. I feel like I'm always on the brink of something that never arrives. I want to either have it or be free of it. Michael Cunningham
We give violent movies a pass but come down hard on a rapper like Scarface, who is ultimately a storyteller just like Brian de Palma. And neither of them is responsible for the poverty and violence that really do shape people's lives--not to mention their individual choices. Jay-Z
But it is just two lovers, holding hands and in a hurry to reach their car, their locked hands a starfish leaping through the dark. John Updike
I marvel again at the nakedness of men's lives: the showers right out in the open, the body exposed for inspection and comparison, the public display of privates. What is it for? What purposes of reassurance does it serve? The flashing of a badge, look, everyone, all is in order, I belong here. Why don't women have to prove to one another that they are women? Some form of unbuttoning, some split-crotch routine, just as casual. A doglike sniffing. Margaret Atwood
All who have actually attained any real religious experience never wrangle over the form in which the different religions are expressed. They know that the soul of all religions is the same and so they have no quarrel with anybody just because he or she does not speak in the same tongue. Swami Vivekananda
It didn't take a trauma to make you wear a mask. It didn't take your parents getting shot...or cosmic rays or a power ring...Just the perfect combination of loneliness and despair. Mark Millar
I didn't want to be different. I wanted to be able to laugh. But I'm sister to an Emperor who's worshiped as a god. People fear me. I never wanted to be feared. I don't want to be part of history, I just want to be loved . . . and to love. Frank Herbert
Ernest Hemingway quote: "I don't feel any way,' the girl said. 'I just know things."
I don't feel any way,' the girl said. 'I just know things. Ernest Hemingway
L. Sprague de Camp quote: "There is no mistaking the dismay on the face of a writer who..."
There is no mistaking the dismay on the face of a writer who has just learned that his brain child is a deformed idiot. L. Sprague de Camp
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "No such thing as a hard woman, Memphis, just soft men. With..."
No such thing as a hard woman, Memphis, just soft men. With that, I turned, and the others followed me. Laurell K. Hamilton
The same crime element that white people are scared of black people are scared of. While they waiting for legislationto pass, we next door to the killer. All them killers they let out, they're in that building. Just because we black, we get along with the killers? What is that? Tupac Shakur
With this money I can get away from you. From you and your chickens and your pies and your kitchens and everything that smells of grease. I can get away from this shack with its cheap furniture, and this town and its dollar days, and its women that wear uniforms and its men that wear overalls. You think just because you've made a little money you can get a new hairdo and some expensive clothes and turn yourself into a lady. But you can't, because you'll never be anything but a common frump,... James M. Cain
Dorothy viewed my mother's propensity toward madness not as something to be afraid of, but rather as something to look forward to, like a movie or a newly released color of nail polish.'Your mother is just expressing herself,' Dorothy would tell me when my mother stopped sleeping, started smoking the filters of her cigarettes and began writing backward with a glitter pen. No, she's not,' I would say. 'She's going insane again.' Don't be so mundane,' she would yawn, passing my mother a shoebox... Augusten Burroughs
My benefactor told me that my father and mother had lived and died just to have me, and that their own parents had done the same for them. He said that warriors were different in that they shift their assemblage points enough to realize the tremendous price that has been paid for their lives. This shift gives them the respect and awe that their parents never felt for life in general, or for being alive in particular. Carlos Castaneda
Judy Blume quote: "Not everything has to have a point. Some things just are."
Not everything has to have a point. Some things just are. Judy Blume
