Near Quotes (page 50)

Couldn't the wrong sort of living turn anyone mean? I remembered very well that one day back in Yoroido, a boy pushed me into a thorn bush near the pond. By the time I clawed my way out I was mad enough to bite through wood. If a few minutes of suffering could make me so angry, what would years of it do? Even stone can be worn down with enough rain. Arthur Golden
The messengers of Jesus will be hated to the end of time. They will be blamed for all the division which rend cities and homes. Jesus and his disciples will be condemned on all sides for undermining family life, and for leading the nation astray; they will be called crazy fanatics and disturbers of the peace. The disciples will be sorely tempted to desert their Lord. But the end is also near, and they must hold on and persevere until it comes. Only he will be blessed who remains loyal to... Dietrich Bonhoeffer
For anyone of a rational disposition, fashion is often nearly impossible to fathom. Throughout many periods of history? perhaps most? it can seem as if the whole impulse of fashion has been to look maximally ridiculous. If one could be maximally uncomfortable as well, the triumph was all the greater. Bill Bryson
The writer walks out of his workroom in a daze. He wants a drink. He needs it. It happens to be a fact that nearly every writer of fiction in the world drinks more whisky than is good for him. He does it to give himself faith hope and courage. A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. He has no master except his own soul and that I am sure is why he does it. Roald Dahl
If I must go to heaven's end. Climbing the ages like a stair. Be near me and forever bend. With the same eyes above me there; Time will fly past us like leaves flying, We shall not heed, for we shall be. Beyond living, beyond dying, Knowing and known unchangeably. Sara Teasdale
When I was One, I had just begun. When I was Two, I was nearly new. When I was ThreeI was hardly me. When I was Four, I was not much more. When I was Five, I was just alive. But now I am Six, I'm as clever as clever, So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever. A. A. Milne
Ben Okri quote: "It is easier to get lost within sight of the palace. [...]..."
It is easier to get lost within sight of the palace. [...] Hope makes all things near, and so can prove treacherous. Ben Okri
I've been very near death. And you can't imagine the wild elation of those moments- it's the sudden glimpse of the absurdity of life that brings it- when one meets death face to face." The Royal Way (1935) Andre Malraux
If God be near a church, it must pray. And if he be not there, one of the first tokens of his absence will be a slothfulness in prayer. Charles Spurgeon
I've found, as a general rule of life, that the things you think are going to be the scaliest nearly always turn out not so bad after all. P. G. Wodehouse
Arthur Golden quote: "My feelings of disgust had been so loud within me, they’d..."
My feelings of disgust had been so loud within me, they’d nearly drowned out everything else. Arthur Golden
..the free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it - basically because you feel good, very good, when you are near or with them... Charles Bukowski
marveling at this boldness and ease in her presence, and not for one second losing sight of her, though he did not look at her. He felt as though the sun were coming near him. Leo Tolstoy
I have often thought that if heaven had given me choice of my position and calling, it should have been on a rich spot of earth, well watered, and near a good market for the productions of the garden. No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no lucture comparable to that of the garden. Sucha a variety of subjeccts, some one always coming to perfection, the failure of one thing repaired by the succes of another, and instead of one harvest a continued one through... Thomas Jefferson

Face it, dude. You nearly did sex on God's table. You're already shame spiralling big-time. Chuck Palahniuk
