Keeping Quotes (page 188)

I wanted to go on sitting here, not talking, not listening to the others, keeping the moment precious for all time . . . In a little while it would be different, there would come to-morrow, and the next day, and another year. And we would be changed perhaps, never sitting quite like this again. Some of us would go away, or suffer, or die, the future stretched away in front of us, unknown, unseen, not perhaps what we wanted, not what we planned. This moment was safe though, this could not be... Daphne du Maurier
Well, I don’t know. Mostly I just suck up what life throws my way, stomp on it, and then keep going. I don’t dwell much on what I am or how I got this way. It just is. I just am. I’m Max, and whatever form I take, it’s good enough for me. James Patterson
I'm up there trying to do my Chore. I've got the men's bathroom. There's something... Pat there's something in the toilet up there. That won't flush. The thing. It won't go away. It keeps reappearing. Flush after flush. I'm only here for instructions. Possibly also protective equipment. I couldn't even describe the thing in the toilet. All I can say is if it was produced by anything human then I have to say I'm worried. Don't even ask me to describe it. If you want to go up and have a look,... David Foster Wallace
Very important thing to keep in mind, that when justice comes and when injustices are remedied, they’re not remedied by the initiative of the national government or the politicians. They only respond to the power of social movements. Howard Zinn
Pablo Neruda quote: "You keep only darkness, my distant female, from your regard..."
You keep only darkness, my distant female, from your regard sometimes the coast of dread emerges. Pablo Neruda

Fear is what keeps a man alive in this world if treachery and deceit. George R. R. Martin
Haruki Murakami quote: "There's not much you can do about time - it just keeps on..."
There's not much you can do about time - it just keeps on passing. Haruki Murakami
For many years I've been ashamed, mortally ashamed, of having been, even with the best intentions, even at many removes, a murderer in my turn. As time went on I merely learned that even those who were better than the rest could not keep themselves nowadays from killing or letting others kill, because such is the logic by which they live; and that we can't stir a finger in this world without the risk of bringing death to somebody. Albert Camus
Until we have met the monsters in ourselves, we keep trying to slay them in the outer world. And we find that we cannot. For all darkness in the world stems from darkness in the heart. And it is there that we must do our work. Marianne Williamson
Miles Davis quote: "It's not about standing still and becoming safe. If anybody..."
It's not about standing still and becoming safe. If anybody wants to keep creating they have to be about change. Miles Davis
Haruki Murakami quote: "You can’t keep counting forever"
You can’t keep counting forever Haruki Murakami
What deity in the realms of dementia, what rabid god decocted out of the smoking lobes of hydrophobia could have devised a keeping place for souls so poor as is this flesh. This mawky worm-bent tabernacle. Cormac McCarthy
Stephenie Meyer quote: "It is. If it's too late for me . . . Well, I'll be damned - no..."
It is. If it's too late for me . . . Well, I'll be damned - no pun intended - if I'll let them keep you out, too. Stephenie Meyer
It didn't take me long to make up my mind that these liars warn't no kings nor dukes at all, but just low-down humbugs and frauds. But I never said nothing, never let on; kept it to myself; it's the best way; then you don't have no quarrels, and don't get into no trouble. If they wanted us to call them kings and dukes, I hadn't no objections, 'long as it would keep peace in the family; and it warn't no use to tell Jim, so I didn't tell him. If I never learnt nothing else out of pap, I learnt... Mark Twain
I believe the present matters --- not the past! The past muust go. If we seek to keep the past alive, we end, I think, by distorting it. We see it in exaggerated terms --- a false perspective. - Hilda Lee Agatha Christie
