Barbara Kingsolver quote: "You know things are bad when a woman without any legs and who..."
You know things are bad when a woman without any legs and who recently lost two of her own kids feels sorry for you. Barbara Kingsolver
Taking the kids from our districts, forcing them to kill one another while we watch – this is the Capitol’s way of reminding us how totally we are at their mercy. Suzanne Collins
Then I’d throw my automatic down the elevator shaft-after I’d wiped off all the fingerprints and all. Then I’d crawl back up to my room and call up Jane and have her come over and bandage up my guts. I pictured her holding a cigarette for me to smoke while I was bleeding and all. The goddam movies. They can ruin you. I’m not kidding. J. D. Salinger
Death is a great tragedy…a profound loss…I don’t accept it…I think people are kidding themselves when they say they are comfortable with death. Ray Kurzweil
Jeffrey Eugenides quote: "Shit. What have kids got to be worried about now? If they want..."
Shit. What have kids got to be worried about now? If they want trouble, they should go live in Bangladesh. Jeffrey Eugenides
Some of the things are the same no matter which world you're in, kid. One of 'em is this: The quickest way out of something is usually straight through it. Neil Gaiman
I don't know who Maxime thinks she's kidding. If Hagrid's half-giant, she definitely is. Big bones... the only thing that's got bigger bones than her is a dinosaur. J. K. Rowling
It reminded me of a meat grinder. From when I was a kid. Going to school it felt like you were in a meat grinder. It chews you up and pours out this mess that can't function Gerard Way
But your book is wrong, Mrs. Strunk, says George, when it tells you that Jim is the substitute I found for a real son, a real kid brother, a real husband, a real wife. Jim wasn't a substitute for anything. And there is no substitute for Jim, if you'll forgive my saying so, anywhere. Christopher Isherwood
Look, just because I'm an angry, repressed, Irish-Catholic feminist doesn't mean I hate everything. I only hate youth, beauty, the human body, nature, technological change, popular culture, and democracy. Oh, and I forgot to mention sex. And sports. And Andy Warhol. But other than that, I'm cool with whatever the kids are into. Really! Mary Gordon
It's time for a new National Anthem. America is divided into two definite divisions. The easy thing to cop out with is sayin' black and white. You can see a black person. But now to get down to the nitty-gritty, it's getting' to be old and young - not the age, but the way of thinking. Old and new, actually... because there's so many even older people that took half their lives to reach a certain point that little kids understand now. Jimi Hendrix
I don't believe in school prayer. I think it's total nonsense...who is the teacher there that is going to have them pray? And is the teacher going to be Catholic or Mormon or Episcopalian or what? It just causes all sorts of problems. And what are the kids praying about anyway? Does it really matter, does praying in school...what are you doing it for? The whole thing just opens up all sorts of elements of discussion. I think it's crazy. Charles M. Schulz
Richard Price quote: "You don't write about the horrors of war. No. You write about..."
You don't write about the horrors of war. No. You write about a kid's burnt socks lying in the road. Richard Price
Melissa Etheridge quote: "I'm so cool that the kids come to my bedroom and go, 'Mom! ..."
I'm so cool that the kids come to my bedroom and go, 'Mom! Turn the music down! Melissa Etheridge
Your assumptions about the lives of others are in direct relation to your nave pomposity. Many people you believe to be rich are not rich. Many people you think have it easy worked hard for what they got. Many people who seem to be gliding right along have suffered and are suffering. Many people who appear to you to be old and stupidly saddled down with kids and cars and houses were once every bit as hip and pompous as you. Cheryl Strayed
