Make Quotes (page 88)

What makes a man a man? A friend of mine once wondered. Is it his origins? The way he comes to life? I don't think so. It's the choices he makes. Not how he starts things, but how he decides to end them. Guillermo del Toro
The solutions put forth by imperialism are the quintessence of simplicity...When they speak of the problems of population and birth, they are in no way moved by concepts related to the interests of the family or of society...Just when science and technology are making incredible advances in all fields, they resort to technology to suppress revolutions and ask the help of science to prevent population growth. In short, the peoples are not to make revolutions, and women are not to give birth.... Fidel Castro
Louisa May Alcott quote: "Love should not make us blind to faults, nor familiarity make..."
Love should not make us blind to faults, nor familiarity make us too ready to blame the shortcomings we see. Louisa May Alcott
If you are near the enemy, make him believe you are far from him. If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are now Sun Tzu
We all play chess with Fate as partner. He makes a move, we make a move. He tries to checkmate us in three moves, we try to prevent it. We know we can't win, but we're driven to give him a good fight. Isaac Bashevis Singer
Anarchy wears two faces, both creator and destroyer. Thus destroyers topple empires; make a canvas of clean rubble where creators then can build another world. Rubble, once achieved, makes further ruins' means irrelevant. Away with our explosives, then! Away with our destroyers! They have no place within our better world. But let us raise a toast to all our bombers, all our bastards, most unlovely and most unforgivable. Let's drink their health... then meet with them no more. Alan Moore
The fact is that anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days. If you can't make something out of a little experience, you probably won't be able to make it out of a lot. Flannery O'Connor
Twice two makes four seems to me simply a piece of insolence. Twice two makes four is a pert coxcomb who stands with arms akimbo barring your path and spitting. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Abraham Zogoiby covered his face that night in August 1939 because he had been assailed by fear, [...] a sudden apprehension that the ugliness of life might defeat its beauty; that love did not make lovers invulnerable. Nevertheless, he thought, even if the world's beauty and love were on the edge of destruction, theirs would still be the only side to be on; defeated love would still be love, hate's victory would not make it other than it was. Salman Rushdie
James Baldwin quote: "Neither love nor terror makes one blind: indifference makes..."
Neither love nor terror makes one blind: indifference makes one blind. James Baldwin
Charles Mingus quote: "Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making..."
Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making the complicated simple. Charles Mingus
Maybe what has to happen is that the individual must allow himself to be swept along, must find himself in the stream of no-choice, the single direction. This is what makes things inevitable. You use the restrictions and penalties they invent to make yourself stronger. History means to merge. The purpose of history is to climb out of your own skin. (101) Don DeLillo
Victor Borge quote: "I'd like to thank my parents for making this night possible...."
I'd like to thank my parents for making this night possible. And my children for making it necessary. Victor Borge
Don Marquis quote: "If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you...."
If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you. If you actually make them think, they'll hate you. Don Marquis
Jump, if you want to, ‘cause I’ll catch you, girl. I’ll catch you “fore you fall. Go as far inside as you need to, I’ll hold your ankles. Make sure you get back out. I’m not saying this because I need a place to stay. That’s the last thing I need. I told you, I’m a walking man, but I been heading in this direction for seven years. Walking all around this place. Upstate, downstate, east, west; I been in territory ain’t got no name, never staying nowhere long. But when I got here and sat out... Toni Morrison
