Mays Quotes (page 186)

It’s possible to go on, no matter how impossible it seems, and that in time, the grief . . . lessens. It may not go away completely, but after a while it’s not so overwhelming. Nicholas Sparks
But wherever the truth may lie, this much is crystal-clear: our bigger-and-better society is now like a hypochondriac, so obsessed with its own economic health as to have lost the capacity to remain healthy. . . . Nothing could be more salutary at this stage than a little healthy contempt for a plethora of material blessings. Aldo Leopold
Jane Austen quote: "It is wonderful, for almost all his actions may be traced to..."
It is wonderful, for almost all his actions may be traced to pride;-and pride has often been his best friend. Jane Austen
Brian Aldiss quote: "Whatever terrific events may inform our lives, it always comes..."
Whatever terrific events may inform our lives, it always comes to that in the end; we just want to lie down. Brian Aldiss
Oscar Wilde quote: "Never trust a woman who wears mauve, whatever her age may be,..."
Never trust a woman who wears mauve, whatever her age may be, or a woman over thirty-five who is fond of pink ribbons. Oscar Wilde
Citizens, in the future there will be neither darkness nor thunderbolts; neither ferocious ignorance, nor bloody retaliation. As there will be no more Satan, there will be no more Michael. In the future no one will kill any one else, the earth will beam with radiance, the human race will love. The day will come, citizens, when all will be concord, harmony, light, joy and life; it will come, and it is in order that it may come that we are about to die. Victor Hugo
Stephenie Meyer quote: "I may not be a human, but I am a man."
I may not be a human, but I am a man. Stephenie Meyer
We become so caught up in the busyness of our lives. Were we to step back, however, and take a good look at what we’re doing, we may find that we have immersed ourselves in the ‘thick of thin things.’ In other words, too often we spend most of our time taking care of the things which do not really matter much at all in the grand scheme of things, neglecting those more important causes. Thomas S. Monson
For, since a purely musical work contains none of those logical sequences, the interruption or confusion of which, in spoken or written language, is a proof of insanity, so insanity diagnosed in a sonata seemed to him as mysterious a thing as the insanity of a dog or a horse, although instances may be observed of these. Marcel Proust
John Steinbeck quote: "Men who have created new fruits in the world cannot create a..."
Men who have created new fruits in the world cannot create a system whereby those fruits may be eaten. John Steinbeck
I meant to be uncommonly clever in taking so decided a dislike to him, without any reason. It is such a spur to one's genius, such an opening for wit to have a dislike of that kind. One may be continually abusive without saying any thing just; but one cannot be always laughing at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty. Jane Austen
The necessary consequence of man's right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use. All the reasons which make the initiation of physical force an evil, make the retaliatory use of physical force a moral imperative. If some "pacifist" society renounced the retaliatory use of force, it would be left helplessly at the mercy of the first thug who decided to be immoral. Such a society would... Ayn Rand
Richard Armour quote: "The great improvement of the radio over the telephone is that..."
The great improvement of the radio over the telephone is that it may be turned off without offending the speaker. Richard Armour
At forty my faculties may have closed up like flowers at evening, leaving me unable to write my memoirs with a fitting and discreet inaccuracy, or, having written them, unable to carry them to the publisher. James Thurber
To say that everything in the bible is to be believed , simply because it is found in that volume, is equally absurd and pernicious... To discard a portion of scripture is not necessarily to reject the truth, but may be the highest evidence that one can give of his love of truth. William Lloyd Garrison
