More Or Less Quotes (page 9)

I sat, a solitary man, In a crowded London shop, An open book and empty cup. On the marble table-top. While on the shop and street I gazed. My body of a sudden blazed; And twenty minutes more or less. It seemed, so great my happiness, That I was blessed and could bless. William Butler Yeats
Individually, men may present a more or less rational appearance, eating, sleeping, and scheming. But humanity a a whole is changeful, mystical, fickle, delightful. Men are men, but Man is a woman. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "Sadness is more or less like a head cold - with patience, it..."
Sadness is more or less like a head cold - with patience, it passes. Depression is like cancer. Barbara Kingsolver

Nothing more or less then the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts. J. K. Rowling
This endured absence is nothing more or less than forgetfulness. I am, intermittently, unfaithful. This is the condition of my survival. Roland Barthes
I am the Vampire Lestat. I'm immortal more or less. The light of the sun, the sustained heat of an intense fire-these things might destroy me. But then again, they might not. Anne Rice
...She said whenever you looked forward to anything pleasant you were sure to be more or less disappointed... that perhaps nothing ever came up to your expectations. Well perhaps that is true. But there is a good side to it too. The bad things don't always come up to your expectations either... they nearly always turn out ever so much better than you think. L. M. Montgomery
Antoine de Saint-Exupery quote: "Trying to be witty leads to lying, more or less."
Trying to be witty leads to lying, more or less. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
We may remain more or less open-minded on the subject of the death penalty, indisposed to commit ourselves, so long as we have not seen a guillotine with our own eyes. Victor Hugo
What is the point? We assume that every time we do anything we know what the consequences will be, i. e., more or less what we intend them to be. This is not only not always correct. It is wildly, crazily, stupidly, cross-eyed-blithering-insectly wrong! Douglas Adams
Me as I think I am and me as I am in fact - sorrow, in other words, and the ending of sorrow. One third, more or less, of all the sorrow that the person I think I am must endure is unavoidable. It is the sorrow inherent in the human condition, the price we must pay for being sentient and self-conscious organisms, aspirants to liberation, but subject to the laws of nature and under orders to keep on marching, through irreversible time, through a world wholly different to our well-being, toward... Aldous Huxley
He's a funny man, Dumbledore. I think he sort of wanted to give me a chance. I think he knows more or less everything that goes on here, you know. I reckon he had a pretty good idea we were going to try, and instead of stopping us, he just taught us enough to help. I don't think it was an accident he let me find out how the Mirror worked. It's almost like he thought I had the right to face Voldemort if I could... J. K. Rowling
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "I may be a burglar...but I'm an honest one, I hope, more or less."
I may be a burglar...but I'm an honest one, I hope, more or less. J. R. R. Tolkien
After 40 (old age for most of man's history), one should strive to be more or less packed and ready to go were the end call to come. Alain de Botton
Everyone over 50 in America feels like a refugee. In the Old America there were a lot of bad parents. There always are, because parenting is hard. Inadequate parents could say, 'Go outside and play in the culture,' and the culture -- relatively innocent, and boring -- could be more or less trusted to bring the kids up. Grown ups now know that you can't send the kids out to play in the culture, because the culture will leave them distorted and disturbed. Peggy Noonan
