Off Quotes (page 169)

In Paris, when certain people see you ready to set your foot in the stirrup, some pull your coat-tails, others loosen the buckle of the strap that you may fall and crack your skull; one wrenches off your horse's shoes, another steals your whip, and the least treacherous of them all is the man whom you see coming to fire his pistol at you point blank. Honore de Balzac
Your heart is not a wound to be poked at to see if the scab is ready to come off. You can be healed of that very old pain, if you’ll just let it happen. (Marianne) Laurell K. Hamilton
Oswald Chambers quote: "Take yourself by the scruff of the neck and shake off your..."
Take yourself by the scruff of the neck and shake off your incarnate laziness. Oswald Chambers
The fanatical atheists are like slaves who are still feeling the weight of their chains which they have thrown off after hard struggle. They are creatures who—in their grudge against traditional religion as the "opium of the masses"—cannot hear the music of the spheres. Albert Einstein
All were happy -- plants, birds, insects and children. But grown-up people -- adult men and women -- never left off cheating and tormenting themselves and one another. It was not this spring morning which they considered sacred and important, not the beauty of God's world, given to all creatures to enjoy -- a beauty which inclines the heart to peace, to harmony and to love. Leo Tolstoy

There is a point when a personal opinion shades off into an error of fact. Gene Siskel
He was so excited by this little bit of intelligence that he might have gone off, perplexed, pondering for a long time. It was like reading a wonderful sentence in a book, and not being able to continue because so many possibilities were crowding his mind. Anne Rice
Sylvia Plath quote: "I had decided I would put off the novel until I had gone to..."
I had decided I would put off the novel until I had gone to Europe and had a lover. Sylvia Plath
There is nothing more dangerous than a woman with a shotgun. Because you don't know when it's going to go off...and neither does she. Louis L'Amour
Once in a while I go off on a spree and make a fool of myself, but I always come back, and in my heart I love her all the time. - The Great Gatsby. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Blaise Pascal quote: "If our state were really happy, we should not need to take our..."
If our state were really happy, we should not need to take our minds off it in order to make ourselves happy. Blaise Pascal
Janet Evanovich quote: "Stop the planet. I want to get off."
Stop the planet. I want to get off. Janet Evanovich
The fair-haired man was one of those people in whose character there is at first sight a certain obstinacy. Before you can open your mouth, they are already prepared to argue and, it seems, will never agree to anything that is clearly contrary to their way of thinking, will never call a stupid thing smart, and in particular will never dance to another man's tune; but it always ends up that there is a certain softness in their character, that they will agree precisely to what they had... Nikolai Gogol
A good day's filming at last... John Horton's rabbit effects are superb. A really vicious white rabbit, which bites Sir Bor's head off. Much of the ground lost over the week is made up. We listen to the Cup Final in between fighting the rabbit -- Liverpool beat Newcastle 3-0. Michael Palin
Haruki Murakami quote: "Knowledge and ability were tools, not things to show off."
Knowledge and ability were tools, not things to show off. Haruki Murakami
