Lasting Quotes (page 85)

Sylvia Plath quote: "I'm doped and thick from my last sleeping pill."
I'm doped and thick from my last sleeping pill. Sylvia Plath
I love you,' he whispered again, wonderingly, as he understood at last how a lifetime together with someone that you loved could seem like an eternity, and yet not be long enough. Joan D. Vinge
What if the worst is true? What if there's no God, and you only go around once, and that's it? Don't you want to be a part of the experience? You know, what the hell? It's not all a drag, and I'm thinking to myself: Geez! I should stop ruining my life searching for answers I'm never gonna get and just enjoy it while it lasts. And, you know, after--who knows? Maybe there is something, nobody really knows. I know that maybe is a very slim reed to hang your whole life on, but that's the best we... Woody Allen
Holbrook Jackson quote: "Book-love, I say again, lasts throughout life, it never flags..."
Book-love, I say again, lasts throughout life, it never flags or fails, but, like Beauty itself, is a joy forever. Holbrook Jackson
Think, too, of the great part that is played by the unpredictable in war: think of it now, before you are actually comitted to war. The longer a war lasts, the more things tend to depend on accidents. Neither you nor we can see into them: we have to abide their outcome in the dark. And when people are entering upon a war they do things the wrong way round. Action comes first, and it is only when they have already suffered that they begin to think. Thucydides
William James quote: "My thinking is first and last and always for the sake of my..."
My thinking is first and last and always for the sake of my doing. William James
For a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder. F. Scott Fitzgerald
It may be well to repeat here the saying that old men talk of what they have done, young men of what they are doing, and fools of what they expect to do. The Negro race has a rather large share of the last mentioned class. Carter G. Woodson
Rita Mae Brown quote: "If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done."
If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done. Rita Mae Brown
And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped the revelers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall. And the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay. And the flames of the tripods expired. And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all. Edgar Allan Poe
I will tell you what is my overriding perception of the last twenty years: that we are a civilization careening toward a succession of anticlimaxes? toward an infinity of unsatisfying, and disagreeable endings. John Irving
All freed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind. Karl Marx
So that's it. I've told you everything I know. Think clearly and think for yourself. Learn to use language to express those thoughts. Love somebody with all your heart. And with everyone, whether you love them or not, find out if you can be helpful. But really, it's even simpler than that. After all this time, and all these talks in public and in private, I think I get it now. If I were taking my friend Arnold's suggestion and spoke from my deathbed, I think I know what I'd say. I see now... Alan Alda
Miss Howard: Like a good detective story myself. Lots of nonsense written, though. Criminal discovered in last Chapter. Everyone dumbfounded. Real crime - you'd know at once. Agatha Christie
Yukio Mishima quote: "The special quality of hell is to see everything clearly down..."
The special quality of hell is to see everything clearly down to the last detail. Yukio Mishima
