Many Quotes (page 241)

The explanations for the things we do in life are many and complex. Supposedly mature adults should live by logic, listen to their reason. Think things out before they act. But maybe they never heard what Dr. London told me one, Freud said that for the little things in life we should react according to our reason. But for really big decisions, we should heed what our unconscious tells us. Erich Segal
there was yet, it then seemed to me, many a pleasant haven in store; and meads and glades so eternally vernal, that the grass shot up by the spring, untrodden, unwilted, remains at midsummer. Herman Melville
It was only the other night everything was fine and the next thing I know Im drowning. How many times can a man go down and still be alive? I can't breathe Ray Bradbury
To generate exuberant diversity in a city's streets and districts four conditions are indispensable:1. The district, and indeed as many of its internal parts as possible, must serve more than one primary function; preferably more than two...2. Most blocks must be short; that is, streets and opportunities to turn corners must be frequent.3.

I have told many, yet when I go down that last trail, I know there will be a thousand stories hammering at my skull, demanding to be told. Louis L'Amour
O my vanity I am an arrogant man, is this weakness, is it just a dream of power? Must I betray myself for a seat on the council? Is this sensible and wise or is it hollow and self-loving? I don’t even know if the Grandee is sincere. Does he know? Perhaps not even he. I am weak and he’s strong, the offer gives him many ways of ruining me. But I, too, have much to gain. The souls of the city, of the world, surely they are worth three angels? Is Allah so unbending that he will not embrace three... Salman Rushdie
Oprah Winfrey quote: "It makes no difference how many peaks you reach if there was..."
It makes no difference how many peaks you reach if there was no pleasure in the climb. Oprah Winfrey
Henry David Thoreau quote: "A man sits as many risks as he runs."
A man sits as many risks as he runs. Henry David Thoreau
This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can. Barack Obama
Neil Gaiman quote: "There are so many fragile things, after all. People break so..."
There are so many fragile things, after all. People break so easily, and so do dreams and hearts. Neil Gaiman
We mortals, men and women, devour many a disappointment between breakfast and dinner-time; keep back the tears and look a little pale about the lips, and in answer to inquiries say, "Oh, nothing!" Pride helps; and pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our hurts -- not to hurt others. George Eliot
When a tender affection has been storing otself in us through many of our years, the idea that we could accept any exchange for it seems to be a cheapening of our lives. And we can set a watch over our affections and our constancy as we can over other treasures. George Eliot
It exasperated her to think that the dungeonin which she had languished for so many unhappyyears had been unlocked all the time, and thatthe impulses she had so carefully struggled with andstifled for the sake of keeping well with society, wereprecisely those by which alone she could have comeinto any sort of sincere human contact. George Bernard Shaw
