Lasting Quotes (page 45)

You do not know how the people of this country bear malice. It is the boast of some of them that they can keep a stone in their pocket seven years, turn it at the end of that time, keep it seven years longer, and hurl it and hit their mark at last. Charlotte Bronte
Garry Kasparov quote: "If you're already in a fight, you want the first blow to be..."
If you're already in a fight, you want the first blow to be the last and you had better be the one to throw it. Garry Kasparov
Richard Aldington quote: "The casualty lists went on appearing for a long time after the..."
The casualty lists went on appearing for a long time after the Armistice - last spasms of Europe's severed arteries. Richard Aldington
Gabriel Garcia Marquez quote: "The first of the line is tied to a tree and the last is being..."
The first of the line is tied to a tree and the last is being eaten by the ants . Gabriel Garcia Marquez
You doom yourselves, Susannah. You seem positively bent on it, and the root is always the same: your faith fails you, and you replace it with rational thought. But there is no love in thought, nothing that lasts in deduction, only death in rationalism. Stephen King
You'll be found, your nickels, dimes and Indian-heads fused by electroplating. Abe Lincolns melted into Miss Columbias, eagles plucked raw on the backs of quarters, all run to quicksilver in your jeans. More! Any boy hit by lightning, lift his lid and there on his eyeball, pretty as the Lord's Prayer on a pin, find the last scene the boy ever saw! A box-Brownie photo, by God, of that fire climbing down the sky to blow you like a penny whistle, suck your soul back up along the bright stair! Ray Bradbury
Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars. Carl Sagan
When they entered they found, hanging upon the wall, a splendid portrait of their master as they had last seen him, in all the wonder of his exquisite youth and beauty. Lying on the floor was a dead man, in evening dress, with a knife in his heart. He was withered, wrinkled, and loathsome of visage. It was not till they had examined the rings that they recognised who it was. Oscar Wilde
God knows I am not too hippy. Perhaps because I am too much around the hip and I fear fads for, like anybody else, I like something that tends to last. Charles Bukowski
Over the last few hours I've allowed myself to feel defeated, and just like she said if you allow yourself to feel the way you really feel, maybe you won't be afraid of that feeling anymore. Tori Amos
The intellectual is constantly betrayed by his vanity. Godlike he blandly assumes that he can express everything in words whereas the things one loves, lives, and dies for are not, in the last analysis completely expressible in words. Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The old man would go on with this talking and this talking, drop by drop, stone by stone, flake by flake. His mind would well over at last and he would not be Montag any more, this the old man told him, assured him, promised him. He would be Montag-plus-Faber, fire plus water, and then, one day, after everything had mixed and simmered and worked away in silence, there would be neither fire nor water, but wine. Out of two separate and opposite things, a third. And one day he would look back... Ray Bradbury
The old man's head was clear and good now and he was full of resolution but he had little hope. It was too good to last, he thought. He took one look at the great fish as he watched the shark close in. Ernest Hemingway
Robert Frost quote: "I end not far from my going forth. By picking the faded blue...."
I end not far from my going forth. By picking the faded blue. Of the last remaining aster flower. To carry again to you. Robert Frost
Margaret Atwood quote: "But the adjectives change,” said Jimmy. “Nothing’s worse than..."
But the adjectives change,” said Jimmy. “Nothing’s worse than last year’s adjectives. Margaret Atwood
