Made Quotes (page 235)

The promise, made when I am in love and because I am in love, to be true to the beloved as long as I live, commits me to being true even if I cease to be in love. A promise must be about things that I can do, about actions: no one can promise to go on feeling in a certain way. He might as well promise to never have a headache or always to feel hungry. C. S.

On the other hand I have always made a great point of having my pupils count their eighths and sixteenths nicely. Whatever you become, teacher, scholar, or musician, have respect for the "meaning" but... Herman Hesse
Being a nerd, which is to say going too far and caring too much about a subject, is the best way to make friends I know. For me, the spark that turns an acquaintance into a friend has usually been kindled by some shared enthusiasm . . . At fifteen, I couldn't say two words about the weather or how I was doing, but I could come up with a paragraph or two about the album Charlie Parker with Strings. In high school, I made the first real friends I ever had because one of them came up to me at... Sarah Vowell
Immanuel Kant quote: "From such crooked timber as humanity is made of, no straight..."
From such crooked timber as humanity is made of, no straight thing was ever constructed. Immanuel Kant
He had undertaken a little assay at the good fight and found that neither the good nor the fight was left to him . . . he had gone after life again and they had shown him life and made him eat it. Robert Stone
Who knew that better than I, who had presided over the death of my own body, seeing all I called human wither and die only to form an unbreakable chain which held me fast to this world yet made me forever its exile, a specter with a beating heart? Anne Rice
Elizabeth Bishop quote: "I was made at right angles to the worldand I see it so. I can..."
I was made at right angles to the worldand I see it so. I can only see it so. Elizabeth Bishop
Now is the only time there is. Make your now wow, your minutes miracles, and your days pay. Your life will have been magnificently lived and invested, and when you die you will have made a difference. Mark Victor Hansen
Victor Hugo quote: "Mothers arms are made of tenderness, And sweet sleep blesses..."
Mothers arms are made of tenderness, And sweet sleep blesses the child who lies therein. Victor Hugo
I'll tell you," said Beatty, smiling at his cards. "That made you for a little while a drunkard. Read a few lines and off you go over the cliff. Bang, you're ready to blow up the world, chop off heads, knock down women and children, destroy authority. I know. I've been through it all. Ray Bradbury
The Californians are an idle, thriftless people, and can make nothing for themselves. The country abounds in grapes, yet they buy, at a great price, bad wine made in Boston... Richard Henry Dana, Jr.
For the first time since her return, she felt pain, a violent pain, but it made her feel alive, because it was worth feeling. Ayn Rand
