Needed Quotes (page 267)

Want is a thing that unfurls unbidden like fungus, opening large upon itself, stopless, filling the sky. But needs, from one day to the next, are few enough to fit in a bucket, with room enough left to rattle like brittle brush in a dry wind. Barbara Kingsolver
by then I'd figured out the gift of failure, which is that it breaks through all that held breath and isometric tension about needing to look good: it's the gift of feeling floppier. Anne Lamott
Pablo Neruda quote: "I think it was very informative, but a lot still needs to be..."
I think it was very informative, but a lot still needs to be done. Pablo Neruda
...the conscious need of the strong poet [defined broadly as the creator of new metaphors]...to come to terms with the blind impress which chance has given him, to make a self for himself by redescribing that impress in terms which are, if only marginally, his own. Richard Rorty
The desire, let alone the gesture, to meet her needs was good enough to loft her spirits to the place where she could take the next step: ask for some clarifying word; some advice about how to keep on with a brain greedy for news nobody could live with in a world happy to provide it. Toni Morrison
I made some studies, and reality is the leading cause of stress amongst those in touch with it. I can take it in small doses, but as a lifestyle, I found it too confining. It was just too needful; it expected me to be there for it all the time, and with all I have to do--I had to let something go. Jane Wagner
The need of exercise is a modern superstition, invented by people who ate too much and had nothing to think about. Athletics don’t make anybody long-lived or useful. George Santayana
Our conversations are never easy, but as I-we-get older, we are finding that our conversations must bespoken. A need burns inside us to share with others what we are feeling Beyond a certain age, sincerity ceases to feel pornographic. It is as though the coolness that marked out youth is itself a type of retrovirus that can only leave you feeling empty. Full of holes. Doug Coupland
Religion, the dominion of the human mind; Property, the dominion of human needs; and Government, the dominion of human conduct, represent the stronghold of man's enslavement and all the horrors it entails. Emma Goldman
Now that I look back, I realize that a life predicated on being obedient and taking orders is a very comfortable life indeed. Living in such a way reduces to a minimum one's need to think. Adolf Eichmann
George Orwell quote: "Orthodoxy means not thinking--not needing to think. Orthodoxy..."
Orthodoxy means not thinking--not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness. George Orwell
They want to hold onto something they never had in the first place. Anybody who claims to have some interest in me as an individual artist or even as part of the Beatles has absolutely misunderstood everything I ever said if they can't see why I'm with Yoko. And if they can't see that, they don't see anything. They're just jacking off to - it could be anybody. Mick Jagger or somebody else. Let them go jack off to Mick Jagger, okay? I don't need it. John Lennon
We need not despair even in our worst, for our failures are forgiven. The only fatal thing is to sit down content with anything less than perfection. C. S. Lewis
John C. Maxwell quote: "We cannot become what we need by remaining what we are."
We cannot become what we need by remaining what we are. John C. Maxwell
The argument was wilful, The alternatives untrue, We need no metaphysics. To sanction what we do. Or to muffle us in comfort. From what we did not do. Louis MacNeice
