Kinds Quotes (page 96)

His origins are become remote as is his destiny and not again in all the world’s turnings will there be terrains so wild and barbarous to try whether the stuff of creation may be shaped to man’s will or whether his own heart is not another kind of clay. Cormac McCarthy
Don DeLillo quote: "Every advance in knowledge and technique is matched by a new..."
Every advance in knowledge and technique is matched by a new kind of death, a new strain. Death adapts, like a viral agent. Don DeLillo
our acquaintances—not our friends—are our greatest source of new ideas and information. the internet lets us exploit the power of these kinds of distant connections with marvellous efficiency. Malcolm Gladwell
Haruki Murakami quote: "Life is basically unfair. But even in a situation that's..."
Life is basically unfair. But even in a situation that's unfair, I think it's possible to seek a kind of fairness. Haruki Murakami
Coraline sighed. You really don't understand do you? I don't want whatever I want. Nobody does. Not really. What kind of fun would it be if I just got everything I ever wanted, just like that, and it didn't mean anything? What then? Neil Gaiman
Ozzy Osbourne quote: "The way I was boozing was a kind of suicide. It was only gonna..."
The way I was boozing was a kind of suicide. It was only gonna be a matter of time. Ozzy Osbourne

It's good when food tastes good, it's kind of like proof you're alive. Haruki Murakami
Haruki Murakami quote: "For a certain kind of person, love begins from something tiny..."
For a certain kind of person, love begins from something tiny or silly. From something like that or it doesn't begin at all. Haruki Murakami
If you're a poet, you do something beautiful. I mean, you're supposed to leave something beautiful after you get off the page and everything. The ones you're talking about don't leave a single, solitary thing beautiful. All that maybe the slightly better ones do is sort of get inside your head and leave something there, but just because they do, just because they know how to leave something, it doesn't have to be a poem for heaven's sake. It may just be some kind of terribly fascinating,... J. D. Salinger
. . . another year has passed, or so they say, but calenders lie. They're a kind of cosmic business machine like their cousin clocks but break down at inappropriate times. Jim Harrison
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that but the really great make you feel that you too can become great. When you are seeking to bring big plans to fruition it is important with whom you regularly associate. Hang out with friends who are like-minded and who are also designing purpose-filled lives. Similarly be that kind of a friend for your friends. Mark Twain
The villains are all parts of me. For years I've been wondering what it would be like if all those negative elements were forced onto the main character's side. I can understand a character with that kind of anger. Hayao Miyazaki
….but at the same time, they got a miracle. It wasn’t the kind that comes on a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day float. And it wasn’t the one that they wanted, where God would reach down from the sky and touch their girl with a magic wand and restore her to perfect health. Maybe that will still happen-who knows? I wouldn’t put anything past God, because he or she is one crafty mother. Still, they did get a miracle, one of those dusty little red-wagon miracles, and they understand this. Anne Lamott
I congratulate you people on being in the raging mainstream of the arts. It is commercial artists like myself who operate in the backwaters. I inhabit still, tepid waters clogged with dollar bills. I never see people. I've forgotten all about them. Guard yourself at all times. A lot of people believe that beauty is some kind of conspiracy -- along with friendly laughter and peace. Cheers --(Signed)Kurt Vonnegut Kurt Vonnegut
Among those who still have enough wisdom not to think fairy-stories are pernicious, the common opinion seems to be that there is a natural connection between the minds of children and fairy-stories, of the same order as the connection between children's bodies and milk. I think this is an error; at best an error of false sentiment, and one that is therefore most often made by those who, for whatever private reason (such as childlessness), tend to think of children as a special kind of... J. R. R. Tolkien
