Mays Quotes (page 262)

For me, life offers so many complexly appealing moments that two beautiful objects may be equally beautiful for different reasons and at different times. How can one choose? Diane Ackerman
The more I study the works of men in their institutions, the more clearly I see that, in their efforts after independence, they become slaves, and that their very freedom is wasted in vain attempts to assure its continuance. That they may not be carried away by the flood of things, they form all sorts of attachments; then as soon as they wish to move forward they are surprised to find that everything drags them back. It seems to me that to set oneself free we need do nothing, we need only... Jean-Jacques Rousseau
If, while at the piano, you attempt to form little melodies, that is very well; but if they come into your mind of themselves, when you are not practising, you may be still more pleased; for the internal organ of music is then roused in you. The fingers must do what the head desires; not the contrary. Robert Schumann
L. M. Montgomery quote: "When twilight drops her curtain down And pins it with a star..."
When twilight drops her curtain down And pins it with a star Remember that you have a friend Though she may wander far. L. M. Montgomery
When a girl uses six derogatory adjectives in her attempt to paint the portrait of the loved one, it means something. One may indicate a merely temporary tiff. Six is big stuff. P. G. Wodehouse
Certain unique books seem to be without forerunners or successors as far as their authors are concerned. Even though they may profoundly influence the work of other writers, for their creator they're complete, not leading anywhere. Dodie Smith
And I despise your books, I despise wisdom and the blessings of this world. It is all worthless, fleeting, illusory, and deceptive, like a mirage. You may be proud, wise, and fine, but death will wipe you off the face of the earth as though you were no more than mice burrowing under the floor, and your posterity, your history, your immortal geniuses will burn or freeze together with the earthly globe. Anton Chekhov
The trouble with me, he thought unhappily, is that I have been about the world long enough to know that God's plans for us, however infallibly good, may not take the form we expect and demand. Ellis Peters
Now she has power and passion and the struggle has significance for me-let the momentary consequences be what they may. Suppose that in her pride she becomes giddy, suppose that she does break with me-all right! -she has her freedom, but she will still belong to me. That the engagement should bind her is silly-I want to possess her only in her freedom Soren Kierkegaard
Aristotle may be regarded as the cultural barometer of Western history. Whenever his influence dominated the scene, it paved the way for one of history's brilliant eras; whenever it fell, so did mankind. Ayn Rand
George Eliot quote: "A woman dictates before marriage in order that she may have an..."
A woman dictates before marriage in order that she may have an appetite for submission afterwards. George Eliot
Michel de Montaigne quote: "Learned we may be with another man's learning: we can only be..."
Learned we may be with another man's learning: we can only be wise with wisdom of our own. Michel de Montaigne
Robert A. Heinlein quote: "Come Judgment Day, we may find that Mumbo Jumbo the God of the..."
Come Judgment Day, we may find that Mumbo Jumbo the God of the Congo was the Big Boss all along. Robert A. Heinlein
The feeling of righteousness is the core mood alteration among religious addicts. Religious addiction is a massive problem in our society. It may be the most pernicious of all addictions because it’s so hard for a person to break his delusion and denial. How can anything be wrong with loving God and giving your life for good works and service to mankind? John Bradshaw
Stephen King quote: "The family exists for many reasons, but its most basic..."
The family exists for many reasons, but its most basic function may be to draw together after a member dies. Stephen King
