Mostly Quotes (page 134)

Listen, in dreams and especially in nightmares, from indigestion or anything, a man sees sometimes such artistic visions, such complex and real actuality, such events, even a whole world of events, woven into such a plot, with such unexpected details from the most exalted matters to the last button on a cuff, as I swear Leo Tolstoy has never invented. Fyodor Dostoevsky
I think I am trying to make my head as empty as it was when I was born onto this damaged planet fifty years ago. I suspect that this is something most white Americans and nonwhite Americans who imitate white Americans, should do. The things other people have put into my head, at any rate, do not fit together nicely, are often useless and ugly, are out of proportion with one another, are out of proportion with life as it really is outside my head. Kurt Vonnegut
It would be the most peaceful to love in silence, but there are consciousness and personality, so we have to speak. And then love becomes hell. Albert Camus
Ken Follet quote: "If it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul..."
If it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive. Ken Follet
Herodotus quote: "The most hateful grief of all human griefs is this, to have..."
The most hateful grief of all human griefs is this, to have knowledge of the truth but no power over the event. Herodotus
If you refuse me, I shall be compelled to believe that you are cruelly enjoying my misery, and that you have learned in the most accursed school that the best way of preventing a young man from curing himself of an amorous passion is to excite it constantly; but you must agree with me that, to put such tyranny in practice, it is necessary to hate the person it is practised upon, and, if that be so, I ought to call upon my reason to give me the strength necessary to hate you likewise. Giacomo Casanova
Danielle Steel quote: "But sometimes life made you give up what you loved most. ..."
...But sometimes life made you give up what you loved most. Sometimes there were no compromises or bargains. Danielle Steel
Sometimes terror and pain are not the best levers; deception, when it works, is the most elegant and the least expensive manipulation of all. Vernor Vinge
Nora Roberts quote: "He does as he pleases and no more. He's the most successful..."
He does as he pleases and no more. He's the most successful man I know. Nora Roberts
Lady Bracknell: Is this Miss Prism a female of repellent aspect, remotely connected with education? Chasuble: (Somewhat indignantly) She is the most cultivated of ladies, and the very picture of respectability. Lady Bracknell: It is obviously the same person. Oscar Wilde
Stanislaw Lem quote: "Omnipotence is most omnipotent when one does nothing!"
Omnipotence is most omnipotent when one does nothing! Stanislaw Lem
Our most serious failure today is the inability to provide effective practical guidance as to how to live the life of Jesus. And I believe that is due to this very real loss of biblical realism for our lives Dallas Willard
Stephen King quote: "For most of us, I think it's easier to admit doing wrong than..."
For most of us, I think it's easier to admit doing wrong than being stupid. Stephen King
I believe the most important benefit that I can confer on the country by my presidency is to insist upon the entire independence of the executive and legislative branches of the government, and compel the members of the legislative branch to see that they have responsibilities of their own, grave and well-defined, which their official oaths bind them sacredly to perform. Grover Cleveland
He that hangs himself is a virgin: virginity murders itself, and should be buried in highways, out of all sanctified limit, as a desperate offendress against nature. Virginity breeds mites, much like a cheese, consumes itself to the very paring, and so dies with feeding his own stomach. Besides, virginity is peevish, proud, idle, made of self-love, which is the most inhibited sin in the canon. Keep it not; you cannot choose but lose by’t! Out with’t! within the year it will make itself two,... William Shakespeare
