Might Quotes (page 16)

There are two truths," said Katie finally. "As a mother, I say it would have been a terrible thing for a girl to sleep with a stranger--a man she had known less than forty-eight hours. Horrible things might have happened to you. Your whole life might have been ruined. As your mother, I tell you the truth. "But as a woman..." she hesitated. "I will tell you the truth as a woman.

While you’re playing yourself out in lonesome dissipation in front of a pinball machine, someone else might be reading through Proust. Still another might be engaged in heavy petting with a girlfriend at a drive-in theater showing of Paths of Courage.

Religious people of any serious kind made her nervous: they were like men in raincoats who might or might not be flashers. Margaret Atwood

Robert Louis Stevenson
John Motson quote: "Not the first half you might have expected, even though the..."
Not the first half you might have expected, even though the score might suggest that it was. John Motson
John Motson quote: "That shot might not have been as good as it might have been."
That shot might not have been as good as it might have been. John Motson
If I were to die thinking that I'd written three poems that people might read after me, I would feel that I hadn't lived in vain. Great poets might expect the whole body of their work, but most of us - well, I would settle for a handful. Andrew Motion
Hell begins on the day when God grants us a clear vision of all that we might have achieved, of all the gifts which we have wasted, of all that we might have done which we did not do. Gian Carlo Menotti
Mignon McLaughlin quote: "We lavish on animals the love we are afraid to show to people...."
We lavish on animals the love we are afraid to show to people. They might not return it; or worse, they might. Mignon McLaughlin

If you want to get healthy, you just might not want to go to a doctor. You might instead, go to church. Mark Hyman
To judge from all Communist papers, magazines and brochures, and from all public assemblies, one might even surmise that a revolt of the poor peasants in Western Europe might break out at any moment! Herman Gorter
There is something very intriguing about, for example, the sense of accomplishment that a small child has, which you might be able to reduce to aggression and libido, but which might also have some independent existence. Peter Gay
Oh, I think there are a lot of people who would be buying and selling online today that go up there and they get the information, but then when it comes time to type in their credit card they think twice because they're not sure about how that might get out and what that might mean for them. Bill Gates
