Knock Quotes (page 14)

I think I have this thing where everybody has to think I'm the greatest. And if they aren't completely knocked out and dazzled and slightly intimidated by me, I don't feel good about myself. Roald Dahl
I am willing to be a literary thief if it has so been ordained; I am even willing to be caught robbing the ancient dead alongside of Hopkinson Smith, for he is my friend and a good fellow, and I think would be as honest as any one if he could do it without occasioning remark; but I am not willing to antedate his crimes by fifteen hundred years. I must ask you to knock off part of that. Mark Twain
Next morning, his nose still in the dreambag of a deep pillow contributed to his otherwise austere bed by sweet Blanche (with whom, by the parlour-game rules of sleep, he had been holding hands in a heart-breaking nightmar? or perhaps it was just her cheap perfume), the boy was at once aware of the happiness knocking to be let in. He deliberately endeavored to prolong the glow of its incognito by dwelling on the last vestiges of jasmine and tears in a silly dream... Vladimir Nabokov
You got to knock a man down and put your knife at his throat before he'll hear you, like I did to that trooper. The truth seems hateful to most everybody. Thomas Berger
Mace, you never read Smoky the Cowhorse, did you? No. Well, ol' Smoky, he had somebad things happen to him, had the heart knocked clean out of him. But he hung on and came out of it okay. I've been bashed up pretty good, Mason, but I'm going to make it. S. E. Hinton
Dan Brown quote: "Robert wondered if any of Harvard's revered Egyptologists had..."
Robert wondered if any of Harvard's revered Egyptologists had ever knocked on the door of a pyramid and expected an answer. Dan Brown
Stand by the grey stone when the thrush knocks, and the setting sun with the last light of Durin’s Day will shine upon the key-hole. J. R. R. Tolkien
Steven Wright quote: "What do little birdies see when they get knocked unconscious?"
What do little birdies see when they get knocked unconscious? Steven Wright
I'll tell you," said Beatty, smiling at his cards. "That made you for a little while a drunkard. Read a few lines and off you go over the cliff. Bang, you're ready to blow up the world, chop off heads, knock down women and children, destroy authority. I know. I've been through it all. Ray Bradbury
Benjamin Franklin quote: "Trouble knocked at the door, but, hearing laughter, hurried away"
Trouble knocked at the door, but, hearing laughter, hurried away Benjamin Franklin
Privately there were some things in Heaven of which she did not approve. There was too much singing, and she didn’t see how even the Elect could survive for very long the celestial laziness which was promised. She would find something to do in Heaven. There must be something to take up one’s time – some clouds to darn, some weary wings to rub with liniment. Maybe the collars of the robes needed turning now and then, and when you come right down to it, she couldn’t believe that even in heaven... John Steinbeck
I should like to knock their silly heads together. What is the sense of laughing all the time? They are not saying anything funny. Agatha Christie
Like my hairstyle?" she asked."It's great."How great?"Great enough to knock down all the trees in all the forests of the world. Haruki Murakami
Next to fat babies, midgets are my favorite things to hold. I love them so much, and I want to help them to do adult things like drive cars, Jet-Ski, and lip-synch. I’m in awe of their little limbs, their large craniums, and their medicine-ball asses. I love the little baby steps they take while shifting their weight from side to side, and the fact that when you knock one over accidentally, he flails like a turtle on its back that can’t get up right away. Chelsea Handler
Love, when it came and knocked on my door, was going to be enough. And that unknown author who'd written that if you had fame, it was not enough, and if you had wealth as well, it was still not enough, and if you had fame, wealth, and also love ... still it was not enough - boy, did I feel sorry for him. Virginia C. Andrews
