Made It Quotes (page 42)

It is not conflict of opinions that has made history so violent but conflict of belief in opinions, that is to say conflict of convictions. Friedrich Nietzsche
...it occurred that the birds, whose twitters and repeated songs sounded so pretty and affirming of nature and the coming day, might actually, in a code known only to other birds," be the birds each saying 'Get away' or 'This branch is mine!' or 'This tree is mine! I'll kill you! Kill, kill!' Or any manner of dark, brutal, or self-protective stuff--they might be listening to war cries. The thought came from nowhere and made his spirits dip from some reason. David Foster Wallace
It was futile to attack with reason the stout wall of irrational feelings that, as is known, is the stuff of which the female mind is made. Milan Kundera
Made as we were in the image of God we scarcely find it strange to take again our God as our All. God was our original habitat and our hearts cannot but feel at home when they enter again that ancient and beautiful abode. Aiden Wilson Tozer
It was after 2:00 A.M. before we got back to the graveyard. The Feds had kept us forever, like they didn't believe we were telling them the whole truth. Fancy that. I hated being accused of concealing evidence when I wasn't. Made me want to lie to them just so they wouldn't be disappointed. Laurell K. Hamilton
It was probably true that he objectified women. He thought about them all the time, didn't he? He looked at them a lot. And didn't all this thinking and looking involve their breasts and lips and legs? Female human beings were objects of the most intense interest and scrutiny on Mitchell's part. And yet he didn't think that a word like objectification covered the way these alluring - but intelligent! - creatures made him feel. What Mitchell felt when he saw a beautiful girl was more like... Jeffrey Eugenides

Thomas Hardy quote: "It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in a..."
It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in a language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs. Thomas Hardy
Confucius quote: "It is when those who are not strong enough have made some..."
It is when those who are not strong enough have made some moderate amount of progress that they fail and give up... Confucius
It is a delicious thing to write, to be no longer yourself but to move in an entire universe of your own creating. Today, for instance, as man and woman, both lover and mistress, I rode in a forest on an autumn afternoon under the yellow leaves, and I was also the horses, the leaves, the wind, the words my people uttered, even the red sun that made them almost close their love-drowned eyes. Gustave Flaubert
It's being made out that the whole point of the war was to topple the Taliban regime and liberate Afghan women from their burqas, we are being asked to believe that the U.S. marines are actually on a feminist mission. Arundhati Roy
Lewis Carroll quote: "It would be so nice if something made sense for a change."
It would be so nice if something made sense for a change. Lewis Carroll
Aleister Crowley quote: "It is necessary, in this world, to be made of harder stuff..."
It is necessary, in this world, to be made of harder stuff than one's environment. Aleister Crowley
It appeared to me therefore that if a man diligently followed this desire, pursuing the false objects until their falsity appeared and then resolutely abandoning them, he must come out at last into the clear knowledge that the human soul was made to enjoy some object that is never fully given? nay, cannot even be imagined as given? in our present mode of subjective and spatiotemporal experience. C. S. Lewis

Without them I would never have disappeared into language, literature, the mind, laughter and all the mad intensities that made and unmade me. Stephen Fry
