My Own Quotes (page 89)

Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "I did try to found a little heresy of my own; and when I had..."
I did try to found a little heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy. Gilbert K. Chesterton
And that's a life, isn't it? Some achievements and some disappointments. It's been interesting to me, though I wouldn't complain or be amazed if others found it less so. Maybe, in a way, Adrian knew what he was doing. Not that I would have missed my own life for anything, you understand. [pp.60-61] Julian Barnes
William Butler Yeats quote: "I kiss you and kiss you, With arms around my own, Ah, how..."
I kiss you and kiss you, With arms around my own, Ah, how shall I miss you, When, dear, you have grown. William Butler Yeats
I learned thirty years ago that it is foolish to scold. I have enough trouble overcoming my own limitations without fretting over the fact that God has not seen fit to distribute evenly the gift of intelligence. John Wanamaker
David Lynch quote: "I like to remember things my own way. How I remembered them,..."
I like to remember things my own way. How I remembered them, not necessarily the way they happened. David Lynch
I turned to my own bunk and examined it with a kind of appalled fascination. If the mattress stains were anything to go by, a previous user had not so much suffered from incontinence as rejoiced in it. He had evidently included the pillow in his celebrations. Bill Bryson
I have my own way to walk and for some reason or other Zen is right in the middle of it wherever I go. So there it is, with all its beautiful purposelessness, and it has become very familiar to me though I do not know "what it is." Or even if it is an "it." Not to be foolish and multiply words, I'll say simply that it seems to me that Zen is the very atmosphere of the Gospels, and the Gospels are bursting with it. It is the proper climate for any monk, no matter what kind of monk he may... Thomas Merton
When I read obituaries I always note the age of the deceased. Automatically I relate this figure to my own age. Four years to go, I think. Nine more years. Two years and I'm dead. The power of numbers is never more evident than when we use them to speculate on the time of our dying. Don DeLillo
Depend upon it, after all, Thomas, Literature is the most noble of professions. In fact, it is about the only one fit for a man. For my own part, there is no seducing me from the path. Edgar Allan Poe
It's all right, darling. I'll finish the financial report on my own. I can think clearly before sex and stay awake afterwards. That's one of the nice things about being a woman. Barbara Taylor Bradford
Aldous Huxley quote: "I ate civilization. It poisoned me; I was defiled. And then,"..."
I ate civilization. It poisoned me; I was defiled. And then," he added in a lower tone, "I ate my own wickedness. Aldous Huxley
The most ordinary faces of men, and women? my own features mock me with a resemblance. The entire world is a dreadful collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her Emily Bronte
I am beginning to believe that nothing can ever be proved. These are honest hypotheses which take the facts into account: but I sense so definitely that they come from me, and that they are simply a way of unifying my own knowledge. Not a glimmer comes from Rollebon's side. Slow, lazy, sulky, the facts adapt themselves to the rigour of the order I wish to give them; but it remains outside of them. I have the feeling of doing a work of pure imagination. Jean-Paul Sartre
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind I go back to December all the time Taylor Swift
Jack Kerouac quote: "I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion."
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion. Jack Kerouac
