Not Fair Quotes (page 10)

It was not heartbroken rage against injustice that froze me. I had taught myself that a human being might as well look for diamond tiaras in the gutter as for rewards and punishments that were fair. Kurt Vonnegut
In other words, let's face it: Life is basically unfair. But even in a situation that's unfair, I think it's possible to seek out a kind of fairness. Of course, that might take time and effort. And maybe it won't seem to be worth all that. It's up to each individual to decide whether or not it is. Haruki Murakami
Los Zapatos, which means "the shoes" ... was a small village not far from the ocean. It was fairly free of tourists. There was no good road, no ocean view ... and no historical points of interest. Also, the local cantina was infested with cockroaches and the only whore was a fifty-year-old grandmother. Stephen King
...to bring a child into existence without a fair prospect of being able, not only to provide food for its body, but instruction and training for its mind is a moral crime, both against the unfortunate offspring and against society John Stuart Mill
In a democracy, someone who fails to get elected to office can always console himself with the thought that there was something not quite fair about it. Thucydides
Christian experience is rightly used when it helps to convince us that the events narrated in the New Testament actually did occur; but it can never enable us to be Christians whether the events occurred or not. It is a fair flower, and should be prized as a gift of God. But cut it from its root in the blessed Book, and it soon withers away and dies. John Gresham Machen
...most guys have about 73 calories of shopping energy, and once these calories are gone, they're gone for the day - if not the week - and can't be regenerated simply by having an Orange Julius at the Food Fair. Doug Coupland
That God might regard the issue of whether you believe there's a God or not as fair low on his/her/its list of things s/he/it's interested in re you. David Foster Wallace
He had never thought the question over clearly, but vaguely imagined that his wife had long suspected him of being unfaithful to her and was looking the other way. It even seemed to him that she, a worn-out, aged, no longer beautiful woman, not remarkable for anything, simple, merely a kind mother of a family, ought in all fairness to be indulgent. It turned out to be quite the opposite. Leo Tolstoy
Commonsense has trampled down many a gentle genius whose eyes had delighted in a too early moonbeam of some too early truth; commonsense has back-kicked dirt at the loveliest of queer paintings because a blue tree seemed madness to its well-meaning hoof; commonsense has prompted ugly but strong nations to crush their fair but frail neighbors the moment a gap in history offered a chance that it would have been ridiculous not to exploit. Vladimir Nabokov
Nelson Mandela quote: "For a revolution is not just a question of pulling a trigger;..."
For a revolution is not just a question of pulling a trigger; its purpose is to create a fair just society Nelson Mandela
Once off the bush. The fruit fermented, the sweet flesh would turn sour. I always felt like crying. It wasn't fair. That all the lovely canfuls smelt of rot. Each year I hoped they'd keep, knew they would not.-Blackberry picking Seamus Heaney
It would be nice and fairly nearly true, to say that 'from that time forth, Eustace was a different boy.' To be strictly accurate, he began to be a different boy. He had relapses. There were still many days when he could be very tiresome. But most of those I shall not notice. The cure had begun. C. S. Lewis
Candace Bushnell quote: "The universe may not always play fair, but at least it's got a..."
The universe may not always play fair, but at least it's got a hell of a sense of humor. Candace Bushnell
I'm not a person who thinks they can have it all, but I certainly feel that with a bit of effort and guile I should be able to have more than my fair share. George Carlin
