Knows Quotes (page 302)

Jimmy Hoffa said, “I know how Jesus must have felt. The fucking pharaohs rose to power on his coattails like the fucking Kennedy brothers are rising on mine.” Heshie Ryskind said, “Get your history straight. It was Julius Caesar that did Jesus in. James Ellroy
That's enough of that," Jesse said. Next thing I knew, he'd scooped me up. Only instead of carrying me to my bed and setting me down on it all romantically, you know, like guys do to girls in the movies, he just dumped me onto it, so I bounced around and would have fallen off if I hadn't grabbed the edge of the mattress. "Thanks," I said, not quite able to keep all of the sarcasm out of my voice. Meg Cabot
With me, the present is forever, and forever is always shifting, flowing, melting. This second is life. And when it is gone it is dead. But you can’t start over with each new second. You have to judge by what is dead. It’s like quicksand … hopeless from the start. A story, a picture, can renew sensation a little, but not enough, not enough. Nothing is real except the present, and already, I feel the weight of centuries smothering me. Some girl a hundred years ago once lived as I do. And she... Sylvia Plath
Terry Prachett quote: "But if you must know, your moon here is rather more powerful..."
But if you must know, your moon here is rather more powerful than the ones around my own world? Terry Prachett
That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher... Carl Sagan
Life goes on. It doesn't go on. Yes, yes, I know, all we want in the end, we living, breathing creatures (am I still one of them?) is life. All we want to believe in is the persistence and vitality of life. Faced with the choice between death and the merest hint of life, what scrap, what token wouldn't we cling to in order to keep that belief? A leaf? A single moist, green leaf? That will do, that will be enough. Graham Swift
His view of the world is one that keeps his blood pressure low, sweeping the cholesterol from his relaxed, freeway-sized arteries. Everyone knows he is going to live till age ninety, although the question that goes begging is, “for what? Steve Martin
John Naisbitt quote: "Don't get so far in front of the parade that no one knows..."
Don't get so far in front of the parade that no one knows you're in the parade. John Naisbitt
I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird. Harper Lee
Michael Cunningham quote: "Insomniacs know better than anyone how it would be to haunt a..."
Insomniacs know better than anyone how it would be to haunt a house. Michael Cunningham
Cat Stevens quote: "I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul. Where I end up,..."
I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul. Where I end up, well, I think only God really knows Cat Stevens
Chuck Klosterman quote: "Observing someone without context amplifies the experience...."
Observing someone without context amplifies the experience. The more we know, the less we are able to feel. Chuck Klosterman
Terry Prachett quote: "You know how to pray, don’t you? Just put your hands together..."
You know how to pray, don’t you? Just put your hands together and hope. Terry Prachett
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "For the record, knowing when people are only pretending to..."
For the record, knowing when people are only pretending to like you isn't such a great skill to have. Chuck Palahniuk
But mostly I wondered why the head could move so swiftly while the heart dragged its feet. I still loved him. It felt like anything else permanent that has gone missing; a lost tooth, a severed leg. You might know better, but that doesn’t keep your tongue from poling at the hole in your gum, or your phantom limb from aching. Jodi Picoult
