My Own Quotes (page 81)

For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so... Charles Bukowski

Elizabeth Gaskell
For the first time, but certainly not the last, I began to believe that Arsenal's moods and fortunes somehow reflected my own Nick Hornby
For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down in words, with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived it. Edgar Allan Poe
Terry Goodkind quote: "Laugh all you want. I know my own worth and don't need to..."
Laugh all you want. I know my own worth and don't need to prove it to someone who doesn't know theirs. Terry Goodkind
As they started across the road, a boy biked by, shooting Grant a quick look before he ducked his chin on his chest and pedaled away."One of your admirers?" Gennie asked dryly."I chased him and three of his friends off the cliffs a few weeks back."You're a real sport."Grant only grinned, remembering his first reaction had been fury at having his peace interrupted, then fear that the four careless boys would break their necks on the rocks. "Ayah," he said, recalling with pleasure the acid... Nora Roberts
If I may, so long as the woman you love lives, and lives for you, all the privilege I claim for my own sex, and it is not a very enviable one - you need not covet it, is that of loving longest when all hope is gone. Jane Austen
I was filled with such a dangerous delicious intoxication that I could have walked straight off the steps into the air, climbing on the strength of my own drunkeness into the stars. And the intoxication, as I knew even then, was the recklessness of infinite possibility. Doris Lessing
No, indeed, I shall grant you nothing. I always take the part of my own sex. I do indeed. I give you notice-- You will find me a formidable antagonist on that point. I always stand up for women. Jane Austen
There is a marvelous peace in not publishing ... I like to write. I love to write. But I write just for myself and my own pleasure. J. D. Salinger
Sometimes I believe that God wants to try me, both now and later on; I must become good through my own efforts, without examples and without good advice. Anne Frank
By now they had mastered my own language, but they still made simple mistakes, like using 'hermeneutics,' when they meant 'heuristic'. Woody Allen
because wherever I sat—on the deck of a ship or at a street caf in Paris or Bangkok—I would be sitting under the same glass bell jar, stewing in my own sour air. Sylvia Plath
