Me Quotes (page 177)

Why so much grief for me? No man will hurl me down to Death, against my fate. And fate? No one alive has ever escaped it, neither brave man nor coward, I tell you - it’s born with us the day that we are born. Homer
Patton Oswalt quote: "I had a romance novel inside me, but I paid three sailors to..."
I had a romance novel inside me, but I paid three sailors to beat it out of me with steel pipes. Patton Oswalt
John Irving quote: "It is your responsibility to find fault with me, it is mine to..."
It is your responsibility to find fault with me, it is mine to hear you out. But don't expect me to change. John Irving
That knowledge humbles me, melts my bones, closes my ears, and makes my teeth rock loosely in their gums. And it also liberates me. I am a big bird winging over high mountains, down into serene valleys. I am ripples of waves on silver seas. I'm a spring leaf trembling in anticipation. Maya Angelou
Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart. Show me an old Liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains. Winston Churchill
Time does not bring relief; you all have lied. Who told me time would ease me of my pain! I miss him in the weeping of the rain; I want him at the shrinking of the tide; The old snows melt from every mountain-side, And last year's leaves are smoke in every lane; But last year's bitter loving must remain. Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide! There are a hundred places where I fear. To go,--so with his memory they brim! And entering with relief some quiet place. Where never fell his... Edna St. Vincent Millay
Whether it is that the faith which creates has dried up in me, or that reality takes shape in memory alone, the flowers I am shown today for the first time do not seem to me to be real flowers. Marcel Proust
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "Since you know me and my destiny only too well, you probably..."
Since you know me and my destiny only too well, you probably also know what attracts me to all unfortunate people. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When I sit in my silence and look at my mind, it is only questions of longing and control that emerge to agitate me, and this agitation is what keeps me from evolving forward. Elizabeth Gilbert
Why did I accept death? But I will ask, what use was life to me after that revolver had been raised against me by the being I adored? Fyodor Dostoevsky
I shall live alone. Always alone. In a house or a tree.'Fuchsia started to chew at a fresh grass blade.'Someone will come then, if I live alone. Someone from another kind of world - a new world - not from this world, but someone who is different, and he will fall in love with me at once because I live alone and aren't like the other beastly things in this world, and he'll enjoy having me because of my pride. Mervyn Peake
He caught me to him and cupped my cheek in one hand. “I want to keep feeling the way I feel when I’m with you. Just tell me what I have to do. Sylvia Day
Killing Japanese didn’t bother me at that time. It was getting the war over with that bothered me. So I wasn’t worried particularly about how many people we killed in getting the job done… . All war is immoral, and if you let it bother you, you’re not a good soldier.” Schaffer, Ronald (1988-09-29). Wings of Judgment : American Bombing in World War II (p. 150). Oxford University Press. Kindle Edition. Curtis LeMay
This book started like this. My son, who is called Michael or Mike these days, but was Mikey back then, was angry at me. I'd said one of those things that parents say, like « isn't it time you were in bed», and he had looked up at me, furious, and said, « I wish I didn't have a dad! I wish I had...» and then stopped and thought, trying to think of what one could have instead of a father. Finally he said « I wish I had goldfish!» Neil Gaiman
As soon as I put my uniform on, the rest of my life solidified around me like a plaster cast. From that moment on, my friends were anyone who could put up with the disgrace; my occupation, any job from which I was not given the sack; my playground, any cafe or restaurant from which I was not barred or any street corner from which the police did not move me on. Quentin Crisp
