Never Quotes (page 220)

Haruki Murakami quote: "This was never any place I was meant to be. This isn’t a place..."
This was never any place I was meant to be. This isn’t a place for me. Haruki Murakami
Custom, then, is the great guide of human life. It is that principle alone which renders our experience useful to us, and makes us expect, for the future, a similar train of events with those which have appeared in the past. Without the influence of custom, we should be entirely ignorant of every matter of fact beyond what is immediately present to the memory and senses. We should never know how to adjust means to ends, or to employ our natural powers in the production of any effect. There... David Hume
She is reading Zen, Krishnamurti, and Jung, asking herself questions she has never had the courage to explore. Suddenly, the shackles which have bound her are beginning to snap, as personal revelation replaces orthodoxy. Terry Tempest Williams
Jeffrey Eugenides quote: "She had just started living like a grown-up and she'd never..."
She had just started living like a grown-up and she'd never felt more vulnerable, frightened or confused in her life. Jeffrey Eugenides
I can never be anything else but an American, and I must think of the United States first, and when I think of the United States first in an arrangement like this I am thinking of what is best for the world, for if the United States fails the best hopes of mankind fail with it. Henry Cabot Lodge
To enjoy bodily warmth, some small part of you must be cold, for there is no quality in this world that is not what it is merely by contrast. Nothing exists in itself. If you flatter yourself that you are all over comfortable, and have been so a long time, then you cannot be said to be comfortable any more. For this reason a sleeping apartment should never be furnished with a fire, which is one of the luxurious discomforts of the rich. For the height of this sort of deliciousness is to have... Herman Melville
Was there any point in those attempts at reconciliation ? Even today, I think there was. Attempts of that kind are never pointless. Alija Izetbegovic
Pears can just fuck off too. 'Cause they're gorgeous little beasts, but they're ripe for half an hour, and you're never there. They're like a rock or they're mush. In the supermarket, people banging in nails. "I'll just put these shelves up, mate, then you can have the pear."? So you think, "I'll take them home and they'll ripen up." But you put them in the bowl at home, and they sit there, going, "No! No! Don't ripen yet, don't ripen yet. Wait til he goes out the room! Ripen! Now now now! Eddie Izzard
We can never establish with certainty which part of our relations with others is the result of our emotions--love, antipathy, charity, or malice--and what part is predetermined by the constant power play among individuals. Milan Kundera
Talking to you is like -- like talking to an eel!"No, is it? I've never tried to talk to an eel. Isn't it as waste of time?"Not such a waste of time as talking to you! Georgette Heyer
George R. R. Martin quote: "Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used against you"
Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used against you George R. R. Martin
Oscar Wilde quote: "In her dealings with man, destiny never closed her accounts."
In her dealings with man, destiny never closed her accounts. Oscar Wilde
It’s not just other people we need to forgive. We also need to forgive ourselves. For all the things we didn’t do. All the things we should have done. You can’t get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened. I always wished I had done more with my work; I wished I had written more books. I used to beat myself up over it. Now I see that never did any good. Make peace. You need to make peace with yourself and everyone around you. Mitch Albom
Why is it that a dog's menstruation made her lighthearted and gay, while her own menstruation made her squeamish? The answer seems simple to me: dogs were never expelled from Paradise. Karenin knew nothing about the duality of body and soul and had no concept of disgust. That is why Tereza felt so free and easy with him. (And that is why it is so dangerous to turn an animal into a machina animata, a cow into an automaton for the production of milk. By so doing, man cuts the thread binding him... Milan Kundera
Dan Brown quote: "Anyone who said power was not addictive had never really..."
Anyone who said power was not addictive had never really experienced it. Dan Brown
