Made Quotes (page 178)

I'm not made to philosophize, I don't have the heart for it. My heart is more like a machine for making blood to be spilled in a knife fight... Camilo Jose Cela
A virgin a whole virgin is judged made and so between curves and outlines and real seasons and more out glasses and a perfectly unprecedented arrangement between old ladies and mild colds there is no satin wood shining. Gertrude Stein
The scene I had just witnessed (a couple making love in the ocean) brought back a lot of memories? not of things I had done but of things I had failed to do, wasted hours and frustrated moments and opportunities forever lost because time had eaten so much of my life and I would never get it back. I envied Yeoman and felt sorry for myself at the same time, because I had seen him in a moment that made all my happiness seem dull. Hunter S. Thompson
Purity in body and heart May please some--as for me, I make no boast. For, as you know, no master of a household Has all of his utensils made of gold; Some are wood, and yet they are of use. Geoffrey Chaucer
And as for Owen Warland, he looked placidly at what seemed the ruin of his life's labor, and which was yet no ruin. He had caught a far other butterfly than this. When the artist rose high enough to achieve the beautiful, the symbol by which he made it perceptible to mortal senses became of little value in his eyes while his spirit possessed itself in the enjoyment of the reality. Nathaniel Hawthorne
Then he heard a wild, high-pitched cackling that made the hair stand up on the back of his neck. It wasn't sane, that laugh. In fact, it was the laughter of someone who never had more than a nodding acquaintance with sanity. Mercedes Lackey
Roddy Doyle quote: "It was a sign of growing up, when the dark made no more..."
It was a sign of growing up, when the dark made no more difference to you than the day. Roddy Doyle
I am made to think, not for the first time, that in my writing I have plunged ahead-head-on, heedlessly one might say-or 'fearlessly'- into my own future: this time of utter raw anguished loss. Though I may have had, since adolescence, a kind of intellectual/literary precocity, I had not experienced much; nor would I experience much until I was well into middle age-the illnesses and deaths of my parents, this unexpected death of my husband. We play at paste till qualified for pearl says... Joyce Carol Oates
William Butler Yeats quote: "Jonathan Swift made a soul for the gentlemen of this city by..."
Jonathan Swift made a soul for the gentlemen of this city by hating his neighbor as himself. William Butler Yeats
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "I invented adventures for myself and made up a life, so as at..."
I invented adventures for myself and made up a life, so as at least to live in some way. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Werner Heisenberg quote: "An expert is someone who knows some of the worst mistakes that..."
An expert is someone who knows some of the worst mistakes that can be made in his subject, and how to avoid them. Werner Heisenberg
At the end of the day, it's not about what you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about what you've done with those accomplishments. Its about who you've lifted up, who you've made better. It about what you've given back" (23). Denzel Washington
Leo Tolstoy quote: "All the diversity, all the charm, and all the beauty of life..."
All the diversity, all the charm, and all the beauty of life are made up of light and shade. Leo Tolstoy
Want a sugar cube?" he asks in his old seductive voice. That's how we met, with Finnick offering me sugar. Surrounded by horses and chariots, costumed and painted for the crowds, before we were allies. Before I had any idea what made him tick. The memory actually coaxes a smile out of me. "Here, it improves the taste," he says in his real voice, plunking three cubes into my cup. Suzanne Collins
Somehow the killing of the giant spider, all alone by himself in the dark without the help of the wizard or the dwarves or of anyone else, made a great difference to Mr. Baggins. He felt a different person, and much fiercer and bolder in spite of an empty stomach, as he wiped his sword on the grass and put it back into its sheath. J. R. R. Tolkien
