Nothing Quotes (page 287)

When you're washing up, pray. Be thankful that there are plates to be washed; that means there was food, that you fed someone, that you're lavished care on one or more people, that you cooked and laid the table. ...There are women who say: "I'm not going to do the washing up let the men do it." Fine, let the men do it if they want to, but that has nothing to do with equality ... I'd be accused of working against the feminist cause. Nonsense! As if washing up or wearing a bra or having someone... Paulo Coelho
I would sooner read the catalogue of the Army and Navy Stores or Bradshaw's Guide than nothing at all, and indeed I have spent many delightful hours over both these works. W. Somerset Maugham
Wallace Stevens quote: "It is a world of words to the end of it, / In which nothing..."
It is a world of words to the end of it, / In which nothing solid is its solid self. Wallace Stevens
Nathanael West quote: "Feeling is of the heart and nerves and the crudeness of its..."
Feeling is of the heart and nerves and the crudeness of its expression has nothing to do with its intensity. Nathanael West
Will a day come when the race will detect the funniness of these juvenilities and laugh at them--and by laughing at them destroy them? For your race, in its poverty, has unquestionably one really effective weapon--laughter. Power, Money, Persuasion, Supplication, Persecution--these can lift at a colossal humbug,--push it a little-- crowd it a little--weaken it a little, century by century: but only Laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of Laughter nothing can... Mark Twain
I can't bear fishing. I think people look like fools sitting watching a line hour after hour--or else throwing and throwing, and catching nothing. George Eliot
I scarcely remember counting upon happiness—I look not for it if it be not in the present hour—nothing startles me beyond the moment. The setting sun will always set me to rights, or if a sparrow come before my Window I take part in its existence and pick about the gravel. John Keats
...it is so silly of people to fancy that old age means crookedness and witheredness and feebleness and sticks and spectacles and rheumatism and forgetfulness! It is so silly! Old age has nothing whatever to do with all that. The right old age means strength and beauty and mirth and courage and clear eyes and strong painless limbs. George MacDonald
Mark Twain quote: "There is nothing in the world like persuasive speech to fuddle..."
There is nothing in the world like persuasive speech to fuddle the mental apparatus. Mark Twain
When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Have you ever felt so at one with the world, with the universe, with everything that is, that you were overcome with love? That is reality. That is the truth. What we make of it is up to us, as the painting of the sunrise is up to the artist. In our world humanity has strayed from that love. It lives hatred and power struggles and manipulations of the earth itself for its own narrow reasons. Continue and no one will see the sunrise. The sunrise will always exist, of course, but people on... Richard Bach
Thomas Hardy quote: "Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is..."
Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened. Thomas Hardy
The select natures who pant after the ideal, and find nothing in pantaloons or petticoats great enough to command their reverence and love, are curiously in unison with the narrowest and pettiest. George Eliot
A person's life purpose is nothing more than to rediscover, through the detours of art or love or passionate work, those one or two images in the presence of which his heart first opened. Albert Camus
Han Suyin quote: "There is nothing stronger in this world than gentleness."
There is nothing stronger in this world than gentleness. Han Suyin
