Needed Quotes (page 280)

The man who agrees with us that some question, little regarded by others, is of great importance can be our Friend. He need not agree with us about the answer. C. S. Lewis
When you’re not used to comfort and good things to eat, you’re intoxicated by them in no time. Truth’s only too pleased to leave you. Very little’s ever needed for Truth to let go of you. And after all, you’re not really very keen to keep hold of it. Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Ingratitude is amongst them a capital crime, as we read it to have been in some other countries: for they reason thus; that whoever makes ill-returns to his benefactor, must needs be a common enemy to the rest of the mankind, from where he has received no obligations and therefore such man is not fit to live. Jonathan Swift
Jeanette Winterson quote: "Didn't they like you? Didn't they, like you, need a heart that..."
Didn't they like you? Didn't they, like you, need a heart that was a book with no last page? Turn the leaves. Jeanette Winterson
Michel de Montaigne quote: "We need to interpret interpretations more than to interpret..."
We need to interpret interpretations more than to interpret things. Michel de Montaigne
Somewhere in the infinite that He occupies, God advances and withdraws the pawns of the other games He plays, but it is too soon to worry about this one, all He need do for the present is allow things to take their natural course, apart from the occasional adjustment with the tip of His little finger to make sure some stray thought or action does not interfere with the harmony of destinies. Jose Saramago
Jules Verne quote: "The earth does not need new continents, but new men."
The earth does not need new continents, but new men. Jules Verne
Love isn’t an act, it’s a whole life. It’s staying with [them] now because [they] need you; it’s knowing you... will still care about each other when sex and daydreams, fights and futures—when all that’s on the shelf and done with. Brian Moore
Maybe it's just not the right time for us to be married. I don't want to be a bounty hunter for the rest of my life, but I certainly don't want to be a housewife right now. And I really don't want to be married to someone who gives me ultimatums. And maybe Joe needs to examine what he wants from a wife. He was raised in a traditional Italian household with a stay-at-home mother and domineering father. If he wants a wife who will fit into that mold, I'm not for him. I might be a... Janet Evanovich
Orson Scott Card quote: "It is astonishing what can be done when people are truly loyal..."
It is astonishing what can be done when people are truly loyal to each other and eager to meet each other's needs. Orson Scott Card
Soft and small voice communications with our associates make priceless friendships possible. I am appreciative of people who find no need to raise their voices as they try to impress or convince. It seems most people who argue and shout have ceased listening to what the small voice could powerfully contribute. Marvin J. Ashton
Halfway through one August day, while she was embroidering with her friends, she heard someone coming to the door. She didn't have to look to see who it was. "He was fat and was beginning to lose his hair, and he already needed glasses to see things close by," she told me. "But it was him, God damn it, it was him! Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Life is rather above the measure of us all (save for a very few perhaps). We all need literature that is above our measure--though we may not have sufficient energy for it all the time. J. R. R. Tolkien
When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there’s no need at all to understand what’s happening, because everything happens within you Paulo Coelho
It doesn’t matter how many years go by, how much therapy I embark on, how much I try to achieve that elusive thing known as perspective, which is supposed to put all past wrongs into their rightful and diminished place, that happy place where all the talk is of lessons learned and inner peace. No one will ever understand the potency of my memories, which are so solid and vivid that I don’t need a psychiatrist to tell me they are driving me crazy. My subconscious has not buried them, my...
