Looking At You Quotes (page 58)

Walter from Microsoft catches my eye. Here's a young guy with perfect teeth and clear skin and the kind of job you bother to write the alumni magazine about getting. You know he was too young to fight in any wars, and if his parents weren't divorced, his father was never home, and here he's looking at me with half my face clean shaved and half a leering bruise hidden in the dark. Blood shining on my lips. And maybe Walter's thinking about a meatless, pain-free potluck he went to last weekend... Chuck Palahniuk
Consider the lilies of the field. Look at the fuzz on a baby's ear. Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a terminal illness because if you do you will live it with joy and passion, as it ought to be lived. A. Whitney Brown
Robert A. Heinlein quote: "when faced with a problem you do not understand, do any part..."
when faced with a problem you do not understand, do any part of it you do understand, then look at it again. Robert A. Heinlein
Listen--God only exists in people's minds. Especially in Japan, God's always been kind of a flexible concept. Look at what happened after the war. Douglas MacArthur ordered the divine emperor to quit being God, and he did, making a speech saying he was just an ordinary person. So after 1946 he wasn't God anymore. That's what Japanese gods are like--they can be tweaked and adjusted. Some American comping on a cheap pipe gives the order and presto change-o--God's no longer God. A very... Haruki Murakami
This is no way to run a business,” I told Dim Sum, and then looked at Tons of Fun. “And you might want to lay off the carbs, you fucking wildebeest. Chelsea Handler
I wish I had only offered you a sovereign instead of ten pounds. Give me back nine pounds, Jane; I’ve a use for it.' 'And so have I, sir,' I returned, putting my hands and my purse behind me. 'I could not spare the money on any account.' 'Little niggard!' said he, 'refusing me a pecuniary request! Give me five pounds, Jane.' 'Not five shillings, sir; nor five pence.' 'Just let me look at the cash.' 'No, sir; you are not to be trusted. Charlotte Bronte
Henry David Thoreau quote: "The question is not what you look at, but what you see...."
The question is not what you look at, but what you see. (Journals, November 16, 1830) Henry David Thoreau
Teddy looked at him directly for the first time. Are you a poet?' he asked. A poet?' Nicholson said. 'Lord, no. Alas, no. Why do you ask?' I don't know. Poets are always taking the weather so personally. They're always sticking their emotions in things that have no emotions.' " - Teddy and Nicholson in "Teddy" (Nine Stories) J. D. Salinger
I look at these people and can't quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention? To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. "Can I interest you in the chicken?" she asks. "Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it? To be undecided in this election is to pause for a... David Sedaris
It must be something voluntary, something self induced - like getting drunk, or talking yourself into believing some piece of foolishness because it happens to be in the Scriptures. And then look at their idea of what's normal. Believe it or not, a normal human being is one who can have an orgasm and is adjusted to society. It's unimaginable! No question about what you do with your orgasms. No question about the quality of your feelings and thoughts and perceptions. And then what about... Aldous Huxley

It's then I smell smoke. "You even smoke while you brush your teeth?" She looks at me sideways. "Menthol", she says. Jeffrey Eugenides
Henry David Thoreau quote: "The question is not what you look at but what you see"
The question is not what you look at but what you see Henry David Thoreau
Azkaban - the wizard prison, Goyle." said Malfoy, looking at him in disbelief. "Honestly, if you were any slower, you'd be going backward. J. K. Rowling
Zora Neale Hurston quote: "It was funny if you looked at it right quick, but it got..."
It was funny if you looked at it right quick, but it got pitiful if you thought about it awhile. Zora Neale Hurston
For a painter, the Mecca of the world, for study, for inspiration and for living is here on this star called Paris. Just look at it, no wonder so many artists have come here and called it home. Brother, if you can't paint in Paris, you'd better give up and marry the boss's daughter. Alan Jay Lerner
