Lets Quotes (page 156)

Daniel was very like a child in all the parts of his character. He was strongly affected by whatever was present, and apt to forget the absent. He acted on impulse, and too often had reason to be sorry for it; but he hated his sorrow too much to let it teach him wisdom for the future. Elizabeth Gaskell
You have to protect yourself from sadness. Sadness is very close to hate. Let me tell you this. This is the thing I learned. If you take in someone else's poison – thinking you can cure them by sharing it – you will instead store it within you. Michael Ondaatje
Kate DiCamillo quote: "He let the light from the upstairs world enter him and fill..."
He let the light from the upstairs world enter him and fill him. He gasped aloud with the wonder of it. Kate DiCamillo

One ought to hold onto one's heart; for if one lets go, one soon loses control over the head too. Friedrich Nietzsche
Margaret Bourke-White quote: "Nothing attracts me like a closed door. I cannot let my camera..."
Nothing attracts me like a closed door. I cannot let my camera rest until I have pried it open. Margaret Bourke-White
Everything is there but there are no parts. Since there are no parts there's no need to replace one thing with another. No need to remove anything or add anything. You don't have to think about difficult things just let yourself soak it all in. For Nakata nothing could be better. Haruki Murakami
The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one’s soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility, you are not attractive – you are leaking. Fran Lebowitz
Walker Percy quote: "My mother refused to let me fail. So I insisted."
My mother refused to let me fail. So I insisted. Walker Percy
I learn a great deal by merely observing you, and letting you talk as long as you please, and taking note of what you do not say. T. S. Eliot
Change is freedom, change is life. It's always easier not to think for oneself. Find a nice safe hierarchy and settle in. Don't make changes, don't risk disapproval, don't upset your syndics. It's always easiest to let yourself be governed. There's a point, around age twenty, when you have to choose whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life, or to make a virtue of your peculiarities. Those who build walls are their own prisoners. I'm going to go fulfil my proper function in the... Ursula K. Le Guin
What a mess we are, I thought. But this is usually where any hope of improvement begins, acknowledging the mess. When I am well, I know not to mess with mess right away; I try to let silence and time work their magic. [p. 100] Anne Lamott
A writer's work has to take account of many rhythms: Vulcan's and Mercury's, a message of urgency obtained by dint of patient and meticulous adjustments and an intuition so instantaneous that, when formulated, it acquires the finality of something that could never have been otherwise. But it is also the rhythm of time that passes with no other aim than to let feelings and thoughts settle down, mature, and shed all impatience or ephemeral contingency. Italo Calvino
Perhaps it is true that the world is made new again every day but our minds are not. The clamp that holds me will not let me go. Jeanette Winterson
If that be simply perfectest. Which can by no way be expressed But negatives, my love is so. To all which all love, I say no. If any who deciphers best. What we know not, ourselves, can know. Let him teach me that nothing. John Donne
