Much Quotes (page 247)

At some time in my life I'd honestly hoped love would rescue me from the cold, drafty castle I lived in. But at another point, much earlier I think, I'd quietly begun to hope for nothing at all in the way of love, so as not to be disappointed. Barbara Kingsolver
Abstruse dullness is actually a much more effective shield than is secrecy. For the great disadvantage of secrecy is that it’s interesting. David Foster Wallace
Rex Stout quote: "Only the man that knows to little, knows too much." Nero Wolfe"
Only the man that knows to little, knows too much." Nero Wolfe Rex Stout
And you, Mary, if you must run off to London, why do it in that unfinished manner, so that I was left without the car, and couldn't catch anything until the midnight train at Northallerton? It's so much better to do things neatly and properly, even stupid things. Dorothy L. Sayers
Stephen Sondheim quote: "Slotted spoons don't hold much soup..."
Slotted spoons don't hold much soup... Stephen Sondheim
Jodi Picoult quote: "I’d much rather pretend I’m somewhere else, and any time I..."
I’d much rather pretend I’m somewhere else, and any time I open the pages of a book, that happens. Jodi Picoult
My old mind hadn’t been capable of holding this much love. My old heart had not been strong enough to bear it. Maybe this was the part of me that I’d brought forward to be intensified in my new life. Like Carlisle’s compassion and Esme’s devotion. I would probably never be able to do anything interesting or special like Edward, Alice, and Jasper could do. Maybe I would just love Edward more than anyone in the history of the world had ever loved anyone else. I could live with that. Stephenie Meyer
Henry Miller quote: "They move about listlessly and apparently without much..."
They move about listlessly and apparently without much purpose; they might just as well be lunatics. Henry Miller
What is he aching to do? What are we all aching to do? What do we want?” She didn’t know. She yawned. She was sleepy. It was too much. Nobody could tell. Nobody would ever tell. It was all over. She was eighteen and most lovely, and lost. Jack Kerouac
She looked much younger than her age, indeed, which is almost always the case with women who retain serenity of spirit, sensitiveness and pure sincere warmth of heart to old age. Fyodor Dostoevsky
She had no idea, really, what it meant to see a man's arm ripped out by the root, to see a head torn off a neck. She had no idea. We human beings live perpetually insulated from the horrors that happen all around us. No matter what she'd suffered, she had not witnessed the vicious ugliness of that kind of death. No, it had to be unreal to her, even Laura who had endured so much. Anne Rice
Anybody who does not feel that he would be much happier were he only permitted to understand and obey the commandments of Jesus in a straightforward literal way, and e. g. surrender all his possessions at his bidding rather than cling to them, has no right to this paradoxical interpretation of Jesus' words. We have to hold the two together in mind all the time. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Gluttony - that's my vice & curse. I want too much of everything. Books... Love... Music... Color & Form... Philosophy... Travel & Adventure... the result of this bestial lust is the indiscriminate and promiscuous splaying of my energies - wanting all, I accomplish nothing; desiring everything, I satisfy nothing and am satisfied by nothing. Edward Abbey
My belief is that happiness is necessarily transient. The natural state of a reflective man is one of depression. The world is a botch. Women can make men perfectly happy, but they seldom know how to do it. They make too much effort: they overlook the powerful effect of simple amiability. Women are also the cause of the worst kind of unhappiness. H. L. Mencken
Paulo Coelho quote: "We wouldn't worry nearly as much about what others thought of..."
We wouldn't worry nearly as much about what others thought of us if we recognize how seldom they do. Paulo Coelho
