Lining Quotes (page 53)

No single decision you ever made has led in a straight line to where you find yourself now. You peeked down some roads and took a few steps before turning back. You followed some roads that came to a dead end and others that got lost at too many intersections. Ultimately, all roads are connected to all other roads. Deepak Chopra
Jorge Luis Borges quote: "All men who repeat a line from Shakespeare are William..."
All men who repeat a line from Shakespeare are William Shakespeare Jorge Luis Borges
From daybreak to sunset she turned her thoughts, like boulders, over. She set them in long lines. She rearranged their order... Mervyn Peake
When you visualized a man or a woman carefully, you could always begin to feel pity . . . that was a quality God's image carried with it . . . when you saw the lines at the corners of the eyes, the shape of the mouth, how the hair grew, it was impossible to hate. Hate was just a failure of imagination. Graham Greene
June 17, 1972. Nine o'clock Saturday morning. Early for the telephone. Woodward fumbled for the receiver and snapped awake. The city editor of the Washington Post was on the line.

It's like I've had a stroke. Do you think I've had a stroke?" "I don't think you've had a stroke."But how do you know? How can you be sure I haven't had a stroke?"What are the symptoms of a stroke?"I don't know. Look them up. Look them up on line."OK. Hold on...OK. Here it is. Do you have trouble speaking?"I have trouble speaking intelligently. Daniel Smith
Now that physics is proving the intelligence of the universe what are we to do about the stupidity of mankind? I include myself. I know that the earth is not flat but my feet are. I know that space is curved but my brain has been condoned by habit to grow in a straight line. What I call light is my own blend of darkness. What I call a view is my hand-painted trompe-l'oeil. I run after knowledge like a ferret down a ferret hole. My limitations, I call the boundaries of what can be known. I... Jeanette Winterson
Her heart remained empty once more, and the procession of days all alike began again. So they were going to follow one another, like this, in line, always identical, innumerable, bringing nothing! Gustave Flaubert
She's afraid to tell me anything important, knowing I'll only turn around and write about it. In my mind, I'm like a friendly junkman, building things from the little pieces of scrap I find here and there, but my family's started to see things differently. Their personal lives are the so-called pieces of scrap I so casually pick up, and they're sick of it. More and more often their stories begin with the line "You have to swear you'll never repeat this." I always promise, but it's generally... David Sedaris

The growth of love is not a straight line, but a series of hills and valleys. Madeleine L'Engle
Back in my day, we had it all set up. You lined up when you died, and you'd answer for your evil deeds and your good deeds, and if your evil deeds outweighed a feather, we'd feed your soul and your heart to Ammet, the Eater of Souls"He must have eaten a lot of people."Not as many as you'd think. It was a really heavy feather. We had it made special. You had better be pretty damn evil to tip the scales on that baby... Neil Gaiman

There is a fine line between seeing something that's lost as missing, and seeing it as something that might be found. Jodi Picoult
Remember in elementary school you were told that in case of fire you have to line up quietly in a single file from smallest to tallest? What is the logic in that? What, do tall people burn slower? Stephen King
