Making Quotes (page 202)

Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "They muddy the water, to make it seem deep."
They muddy the water, to make it seem deep. Friedrich Nietzsche
If I had a girl I should say to her, 'Marry for love if you can, it won't last, but it is a very interesting experience and makes a good beginning in life. Later on, when you marry for money, for heaven's sake let it be big money. There are no other possible reasons for marrying at all. Nancy Mitford
I am talking about the responsibility of the poet, who is irresponsible by definition, an anarchist enamored of a solar order and never of the new order or whatever slogan makes five or six hundred million men march in step in a parody of order. Julio Cortazar
Those who have abandoned belief must still believe in us. They are sure that they are right not to believe but they know belief must not fade completely. Hell is when no one believes. There must always be believers. Fools, idiots, those who hear voices, those who speak in tongues. We are your lunatics. We surrender our lives to make your nonbelief possible. You are sure that you are right but you don’t want everyone to think as you do. There is no truth without fools. We are your fools, your... Don DeLillo
I know writers have to be crazy. But more than that that, they have to get made and stay mad. If things don't make a writer mad, he'll end up writing Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottantail. Leon Uris
Remember William Blake who said: "Improvement makes straight, straight roads, but the crooked roads without improvement are roads of genius."The truth is, life itself, is always startling, strange, unexpected. But when the truth is told about it everybody knows at once that it is life itself and not made up. But in ordinary fiction, movies, etc, everything is smoothed out to seem plausible--villains made bad, heroes splendid, heroines glamorous, and so on, so that no one believes a word Brenda Ueland
C. S. Lewis quote: "You can make anything out of writing."

Isabel Allende quote: "Writing is like making love. Don't worry about the orgasm,..."
Writing is like making love. Don't worry about the orgasm, just concentrate on the process. Isabel Allende
Margaret Mitchell quote: "Hardships make or break people."
Hardships make or break people. Margaret Mitchell
A man who knows how little he knows is well, a man who knows how much he knows is sick. If, when you see the symptoms, you can tell, Your cure is quick. A sound man knows that sickness makes him sick and before he catches it his cure is quick. Lao Tzu
The story of my recent life.' I like that phrase. It makes more sense than 'the story of my life', because we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality- and in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization. Mitch Albom
Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only the best, be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to... Norman Vincent Peale
Leo Tolstoy quote: "If you love me as you say you do,' she whispered, 'make it so..."
If you love me as you say you do,' she whispered, 'make it so that I am at peace. Leo Tolstoy
Oh, it's always the same,' she sighed, 'if you want men to behave well to you, you must be beastly to them; if you treat them decently they make you suffer for it. W. Somerset Maugham
Leo Tolstoy quote: "What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how..."
What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are but how you deal with incompatibility. Leo Tolstoy
