Looking Quotes (page 176)

You have to look at Jews like Bina Gelbfish, to explain the wide range and persistence of the race. Jews who carry their homes in an old cowhide bag, on the back of a camel, in the bubble of air at the center of their brains. Jews who land on their feet, hit the ground running, ride out the vicissitudes, and make the best of what falls to hand, from Egypt to Babylon, from Minsk Gubernya to the district of Sitka. Methodological, organised, persistent, resourceful, prepared... A mere re-drawing... Michael Chabon
Truth has to be given in riddles. People can't take truth if it comes charging at them like a bull. The bull is always killed. You have to give people the truth in a riddle, hide it so they go looking for it and find it piece by piece; that way they learn to live with it. Chaim Potok

People are not so dreadful when you know them. That's what you have to remember! And everybody has problems, not just you, but practically everybody has got some problems. You think of yourself as having the only problems, as being the only one who is disappointed. But just look around you and you will see lots of people as disappointed as you are. Tennessee Williams
But the queen--too long she has suffered the pain of love, hour by hour nursing the wound with her lifeblood, consumed by the fire buried in her heart. [...]His looks, his words, they pierce her heart and cling--no peace, no rest for her body, love will give her none. Virgil
Theodore Roethke quote: "I may look like a beer salesman, but I'm a poet."
I may look like a beer salesman, but I'm a poet. Theodore Roethke
David Sedaris quote: "Speed eliminates all doubt. Am I smart enough? Will people..."

Jodi Picoult quote: "We [the Amish] look alike. We pray alike. We live alike. ..."
We [the Amish] look alike. We pray alike. We live alike. ...But none of these things mean we all think alike. Jodi Picoult
I want to wake up with you beside me in the mornings. I want to spend my evenings looking at you across the dinner table. I want to share every mundane detail of my day with you and hear every detail of yours. I want to laugh with you and fall asleep with you in my arms. Nicholas Sparks
What a vast fertility of pleasure books hold for me! I went in and found the table laden with books. I looked in and sniffed them all. I could not resist carrying this one off and broaching it. I think I could happily live here and read forever. Virginia Woolf
You look pale, Sansa," Cersei observed. "Is your red flower still blooming?"Yes"How apt. The men will bleed out there, and you in here. George R. R. Martin
Don't. Tell me when, then. And before you say never, take a good look at me and tell me if you see a man who's easily deterred. Sylvia Day
Never look back, that's what she's told herself. Don't think about swans or being alone in the dark. Don't think of storms, or lightning and thunder, or the true love you won't ever have. Life is brushing your teeth and making breakfast for your children and not thinking about things, and as it turns out, Sally is first-rate at all of this. She gets things done and done on time. Alice Hoffman
