Makes Quotes (page 253)

At first you maybe start to like some person on the basis of, you know, features of the person. The way they look, or the way they act, or if they're smart, or some combination or something. So in the beginning it's I guess what you call features of the person that make you feel certain ways about the person. ... But then if you get to where you, you know, love a person, everything sort of reverses. It's not that you love the person because of certain things about the person anymore; it's... David Foster Wallace
dazzled by the shine of their own virtue, a shine that might not last (since virtue, once recognized in a flash, has no shine and makes its home in a dark cave amid cave dwellers, some dangerous indeed? Roberto Bolano
I hate requests. They make me feel unhappy. It's like when I take a book out of the library. As soon as I start to read it, all I can think about is when I'll finish it. Haruki Murakami

If you think about it, an unfair society is a society that makes it possible for you to exploit your abilities to the limit. Haruki Murakami
There is no method of reasoning more common, and yet none more blameable, than, in philosophical disputes, to endeavour the refutation of any hypothesis, by a pretence of its dangerous consequences to religion and morality. When any opinion leads to absurdities, it is certainly false; but it is not certain that an opinion is false, because it is of danger-ous consequence. Such topics, therefore, ought entirely to be forborne; as serving nothing to the discovery of truth, but only to make the... David Hume
William Shakespeare quote: "Who makes the fairest show means the most deceit."
Who makes the fairest show means the most deceit. William Shakespeare
It is within our power not to make a judgement about something, and so not disturb our minds; for nothing in itself possesses the power to form our judgements. Marcus Aurelius
Nikki Giovanni quote: "Deal with yourself as a individual, worthy of respect and make..."
Deal with yourself as a individual, worthy of respect and make everyone else deal with you the same way. Nikki Giovanni
Stephen King quote: "It's only a little secret, but having a secret makes me feel..."
It's only a little secret, but having a secret makes me feel better. Like a human being again. Stephen King
For fairness and loyalty, however important to the head, were issues that could seldom be squared in the human heart, at the deepest depths of which lay the mystery of affection, of love, which you either felt or you didn't, pure as instinct, which seized you, not the other way around, making a mockery of words like "should" and "ought". The human heart, where compromise could not be struck, not ever. Where transgressions exacted a terrible price. Where tangled black limbs fell. Where the... Richard Russo
In place of practising wholesome self-abnegation, we ever make the wish the father to the thought: we receive as friendly that which agrees with, we resist with dislike that which opposes us; whereas the very reverse is required by every dictate of common sense. Michael Faraday
Charles Bukowski quote: "a good bookcan make an almostimpossibleexistence, liveable(..."
a good bookcan make an almostimpossibleexistence, liveable( from 'the luck of the word' ) Charles Bukowski
...wherever the strength of a faith steps decisively into the foreground, we infer a certain weakness in its ability to demonstrate its truth, even the improbability of what it believes. We, too, do not deny that the belief “makes blessed,” but for that very reason we deny that the belief proves something—a strong belief which confers blessedness creates doubts about what it has faith in. It does not ground “truth.” It grounds a certain probability— delusion. Friedrich Nietzsche
the long-distance run of an early morning makes me think that every run like this is a life- a little life, I know- but a life as full of misery and happiness and things happening as you can ever get really around yourself Alan Sillitoe
