Littles Quotes (page 67)

McVries seemed not to have heard. "These things, they don't even bear the weight of conversation," he said, "J.D.

If you're a sixteen-year-boy, you can't discuss the pains of adolescent love with any decency anymore. You just come off sounding like fucking Ron Howard with a hardon."McVries laughed a little hysterically. Stephen King

But the great fact was the land itself, which seemed to overwhelm the little beginnings of human society that struggled in its sombre wastes. It was from facing this vast hardness that the boy's mouth had become so bitter; because he felt that men were too weak to make any mark here, that the land wanted to be let alone, to preserve its own fierce strength, its peculiar, savage kind of beauty, its uninterrupted mournfulness. Willa Cather
If you were a dear, good little wife, Janet,’ had said Lymond, ‘you’d fall into a mortal decline that day, or at least hide his boots.’ ‘Francis Crawford, are ye daft! What ever kept a Scott from a fight? Women? Boots? If yon one were deid, he’d spend his time in Heaven sclimming up and down the Pearly Gates peppering Kerrs. Dorothy Dunnett
Life, in her experience, had a kind of velvet luster. You looked at yourself from one perspective and all you saw was weirdness. Move your head a little bit, though, and everything looked reasonably normal. Jonathan Franzen
Margaret Atwood quote: "there was little that was truly original or indigenous to..."
...there was little that was truly original or indigenous to Gilead. Its genius was synthesis. Margaret Atwood
This is a tightly planned little house. He often feels protected by its smallness; there is hardly room enough here to feel lonely. Christopher Isherwood
It was wonderful, a stunning happy ending to what began as another tragic rock & roll story, as if Bob Dylan had been arrested in Miami for jacking off in a seedy little XXX theater while stroking the spine of a fat young boy. Hunter S. Thompson
... Indeed, by digging a little deeper somewhere near the waistline of South America a lucky geologist may one day discover, as his spade rings against metal, the solid barrel hoop of the equator. Vladimir Nabokov
Nicholas Sparks quote: "In profile, he could see both the young woman she was becoming..."
In profile, he could see both the young woman she was becoming and the little girl he remembered. Nicholas Sparks
The better you get, the less you run around showing off as a muscle guy. You know, you wear regular shirts-not always trying to show off what you have. You talk less about it. It's like you have a little BMW - you want to race the hell out of this car, because you know it's just going 110.

These things are the same in... Arnold Schwarzenegger
