Morning Quotes (page 8)

Another Kilgore Trout book there in the window was about a man who built a time machine so he could go back and see Jesus. It worked, and he saw Jesus when Jesus was only twelve years old. Jesus was learning the carpentry trade from his father. Two Roman soldiers came into the shop with a mechanical drawing on papyrus of a device they wanted built by sunrise the next morning. It was a cross to be used in the execution of a rabble-rouser. Jesus and his father built it. They were glad to have... Kurt Vonnegut
Don DeLillo quote: "He imagines they are uniformly smiling, showing the face they..."
He imagines they are uniformly smiling, showing the face they squeeze out with the toothpaste every morning. Don DeLillo
He asked if he could recite a poem he had written that morning: 'You speak,' he said, 'the language of shooting stars, more surprising than sunrise, more brilliant than the sun, as brief as sunset. I want to follow its trail to eternity. Amy Tan
The occurrence of an event is not the same thing as knowing what it is that one has lived through. Most people had not lived -- nor could it, for that matter, be said that they had died-- through any of their terrible events. They had simply been stunned by the hammer. They passed their lives thereafter in a kind of limbo of denied and unexamined pain. The great question that faced him this morning was whether or not had had ever, really, been present at his life. James Baldwin
Thomas Hardy quote: "To be lectured because the lecturer saw her in the cold..."
To be lectured because the lecturer saw her in the cold morning light of open-shuttered disillusion was exasperating. Thomas Hardy
[...] under the guise of caring only for intrinsic values Osmond lived exclusively for the world. Far from being its master as he pretended to be, he was its very humble servant, and the degree of its attention was his only measure of success. He lived with his eye on it from morning till night, and the world was so stupid it never suspected the trick. Everything he did was pose—pose so subtly considered that if one were not on the lookout one mistook it for impulse. Ralph had never met a man... Henry James
Now I am old-fashioned. A woman, I consider, should be womanly. I have no patience with the modern neurotic girl who jazzes from morning to night, smokes like a chimney, and uses language which would make a billingsgate fishwoman blush! Agatha Christie
Truman Capote quote: "I want to still be me when I wake up one fine morning and have..."
I want to still be me when I wake up one fine morning and have breakfast at Tiffanys. Truman Capote
She destroyed egos by the score and made men hate themselves in the morning by the way she found them, used them, and tossed them aside. Joseph Heller
If she fell, if she broke, you'd find a million fragments in the morning. Bright crystal and clear wine on the parquet flooring, that's all you'd see at dawn. Ray Bradbury
You really don't understand the first thing about writing...for one thing, early in the morning is the worst possible time. the brain is like a wet sponge at that hour. And for another, real writing is a question of staring into space and waiting for the right ideas. Cornelia Funke
After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with colour, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn't it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked -- as I am surprisingly often -- why I bother to get up in the mornings. To put it the other way round, isn't it... Richard Dawkins
Nikki Sixx quote: "I was so happy every morning when I woke up that I was pissing..."
I was so happy every morning when I woke up that I was pissing smiley faces. Nikki Sixx
Years after I'd seen him for the last time I found myself thinking of him unexpectedly and often. You know how certain places grow powerful in the mind with passing time. In those early morning dreams when I come back to bed after a sleepy pee and fall quickly into the narrow end of the night, there is one set of streets I keep returning to, one dim mist of railroad rooms and certain figures reappear, borderline ghosts. Don DeLillo
Cormac McCarthy quote: "The nights were blinding cold and casket black and the long..."
The nights were blinding cold and casket black and the long reach of the morning had a terrible silence to it. Cormac McCarthy
