Known Quotes (page 16)

Losing him was blue like I'd never known, Missing him was dark grey all alone, Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met, But loving him was red Taylor Swift
For being good is a fearful occupation; men strain it and sometimes break in two. I've known a few. You work twice as hard to be a farmer as to be his hog? Ray Bradbury
Jack Vance quote: "Am I known as Cugel the Clever for nothing?"
Am I known as Cugel the Clever for nothing? Jack Vance
It was his opinion that a man had to wait until he was dead to know the meaning of God, unless he happened to have known the sea in his youth. James A. Michener
You will see the effects of dark secrets making themselves known-- via their minds and bodies and via the stories your friends...will begin telling you...The only payback for all of this-- for the conversion of their once-young hearts into tar--will be that you will love your friends more, even though they have made you see the universe as an emptier and scarier place... Doug Coupland
By then running had entered the realm of the metaphysical. First there came the action of running, and accompanying it there was this entity known as me. I run; therefore I am. Haruki Murakami
She slept beneath a tree that night, sitting upright. She imagined she would have been scared for her life out in the open, for she was often terrified in her own room at home, even after double-locking the windows and covering the glass with quilts. Instead, she felt an odd calm spirit here in the wilderness. Was this the way people felt at the instant they leapt into rivers and streams? Was it like this when you fell in love, stood on the train tracks, went to a country where no one spoke... Alice Hoffman
Each of us was in your life for a reason. You may not have known the reason at the time, and that is what heaven is for. For understanding your life on earth. Mitch Albom
Stepan Trofimovich managed to touch the deepest strings in his friend's heart and to call forth in him the first, still uncertain sensation of that age-old, sacred anguish which the chosen soul, having once tasted and known it, will never exchange for any cheap satisfaction. (There are lovers of this anguish who cherish it more than the most radical satisfaction, if that were even possible.) Fyodor Dostoevsky
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of..."
Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everybody I've ever known. Chuck Palahniuk
I yet beseech your majesty,--If for I want that glib and oily art, To speak and purpose not; since what I well intend, I'll do't before I speak,--that you make known. It is no vicious blot, murder, or foulness, No unchaste action, or dishonour'd step, That hath deprived me of your grace and favour; But even for want of that for which I am richer, A still-soliciting eye, and such a tongue. As I am glad I have not, though not to have it. Hath lost me in your liking. William Shakespeare
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "It's frightening when things you love appear suddenly changed..."
It's frightening when things you love appear suddenly changed from what you have always known. Barbara Kingsolver
It's worse in the case of newspapers. Any rich, unprogressive old party with that particularly grasping, acquisitive form of mentality known as financial genius can own a paper that is the intellectual meat and drink of thousands of tired, hurried men, men too involved in the business of modern living to swallow anything but predigested food." p. 201 F. Scott Fitzgerald
In times of storm and tempest, of indecision and desolation, a book already known and loved makes better reading than something new and untried ... nothing is so warming and companionable. Elizabeth Goudge
Just to be in love seemed the most blissful luxury I had ever known. The thought came to me that perhaps it is the loving that counts, not the being loved in return -- that perhaps true loving can never know anything but happiness. For a moment I felt that I had discovered a great truth. Dodie Smith
