Often Quotes (page 109)

We sat late. We could not tear ourselves away from each other nor persuade ourselves to say the word "Farewell!" It was said, and we retired under the pretence of seeking repose, each fancying that the other was deceived; but when at morning's dawn I descended to the carriage which was to convey me away, they were all there—my father again to bless me, Clerval to press my hand once more, my Elizabeth to renew her entreaties that I would write often and to bestow the last feminine attentions... Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "I change too quickly: my today refutes my yesterday. When I..."
I change too quickly: my today refutes my yesterday. When I ascend I often jump over steps, and no step forgives me that. Friedrich Nietzsche
The technique of a great seducer requires a facility and an indifference in passing from one object of affection to another which I could never have; however that may be, my loves have left me more often than I have left them, for I have never been able to understand how one could have enough of any beloved. The desire to count up exactly the riches which each new love brings us, and to see it change, and perhaps watch it grow old, accords ill with multiplicity of conquests. Marguerite Yourcenar
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "I've often heard it said a preachermight learn with a comedian..."
I've often heard it said a preachermight learn with a comedian for a teacher. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "In truth, the degree of anyone's success depends on how often..."
In truth, the degree of anyone's success depends on how often they can say the word yes and hear the word no. Chuck Palahniuk
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "It is not often the worst trait that occasions the loudest..."
It is not often the worst trait that occasions the loudest outcry. Men complain of their suffering and not of the crime. Ralph Waldo Emerson
...it had bred false camaraderies and drawn my attention to deep flaws and fault lines when what mattered--what matters so often in the course of everyday human life--were the surfaces and the joins. Michael Chabon
Intelligence is so damn rare and the people who have it often have such a bad time with it that they get bitter or propagandistic and then it's not much use. Ernest Hemingway
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "What was silent in the father speaks in the son, and often I..."
What was silent in the father speaks in the son, and often I found in the son the unveiled secret of the father. Friedrich Nietzsche
Harold Brodkey quote: "I often thought men stank of rage; it is why I preferred..."
I often thought men stank of rage; it is why I preferred women, and homosexuals. Harold Brodkey
I always got the feeling with John Paul that if he could have narrowed down the people he met and blessed those he loved the most, they would not be cardinals, princes, or congressman, but nuns from obscure convents and Down syndrome children, especially the latter. Because they have suffered, and because in some serious and amazing way the love of God seems more immediately available to them. Everyone else gets themselves tied up in ambition and ideas and bustle, all the great distractions,... Peggy Noonan
Wilbur never forgot Charlotte. Although he loved her children and grandchildren dearly, none of the new spiders ever quite took her place in his heart. She was in a class by herself. It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer. Charlotte was both. E. B. White
John Muir quote: "In drying plants, botanists often dry themselves. Dry words..."
In drying plants, botanists often dry themselves. Dry words and dry facts will not fire hearts. John Muir
We can never get rid of mouse-ideas completely, they keep turning up again and again, and nibble, nibble--no matter how often we drive them off. The best way to keep them down is to have a few good strong cat-ideas which will embrace them and ensure their not reappearing till they do so in another shape. Samuel Butler
I loved them all the way one loves at any age -- if it's real at all -- obsessively, painfully, with wild exultation, with guilt, with conflict; I wrote poems to and about them, I put them into novels (disguised of course); I brooded upon why they were as they were, so often maddening don't you know? I wrote them ridiculous letters. I lived with their faces. I knew their every gesture by heart. I stalked them like wild animals. I studied them as if they were maps of the world -- and in a way... May Sarton
