Old Quotes (page 102)

I had not, it seems, the originality to chalk out a new road to shame and destruction, but trode the old track with stupid exactness not to deviate an inch from the beaten centre? Charlotte Bronte
It's the place built out of Man's ceaseless failure to overcome himself. Out of Man's endless war against himself we build our successes as well as our failures. Making it the city of all cities most like Man himsel? loneliest creation of all this very old poor earth. Nelson Algren
Tanith Lee quote: "Maidens who stay maidens turn into saints. Old women become..."

Thomas Jefferson quote: "I find friendship to be like wine, raw when new, ripened with..."
I find friendship to be like wine, raw when new, ripened with age, the true old man's milk and restorative cordial. Thomas Jefferson
Great pals we've always been. In fact there was a time when I had an idea I was in love with Cynthia. However, it blew over. A dashed pretty and lively and attractive girl, mind you, but full of ideals and all that. I may be wronging her, but I have an idea that she's the sort of girl who would want a fellow to carve out a career and what not. I know I've heard her speak favourably of Napoleon. So what with one thing and another the jolly old frenzy sort of petered out, and now we're just... P. G. Wodehouse
I lie down on many a station platform; I stand before many a soup kitchen; I squat on many a bench;--then at last the landscape becomes disturbing, mysterious, and familiar. It glides past the western windows with its villages, their thatched roofs like caps, pulled over the white-washed, half-timbered houses, its corn-fields, gleaming like mother-of-pearl in the slanting light, its orchards, its barns and old lime trees. The names of the stations begin to take on meaning and my heart... Erich Maria Remarque
We're no longer young men. We've lost any desire to conquer the world. We are refugees. We are fleeing from ourselves. From our lives. We were eighteen years old, and we had just begun to love the world and to love being in it; but we had to shoot at it. The first shell to land went straight for our hearts. We've been cut off from real action, from getting on, from progress. We don't believe in those things any more; we believe in the war. Erich Maria Remarque
Kazuo Ishiguro quote: "I think of my pile of old paperbacks, their pages gone wobbly,..."
I think of my pile of old paperbacks, their pages gone wobbly, like they'd once belonged to the sea. Kazuo Ishiguro
Salvador Dali quote: "Begin by learning to draw and paint like the old masters...."
Begin by learning to draw and paint like the old masters. After that, you can do as you like; everyone will respect you. Salvador Dali
She was satisfied with the answer God had given Moses from the burning bush when Moses had seen fit to question. Who are you? Mose asks, and God comes back from that bush just as pert as you like: I Am, Who I AM. In other words, Mose, stop beatin around this here bush and get your old ass in gear. Stephen King
Sophocles quote: "A lie never grows old."
A lie never grows old. Sophocles
Corrie Ten Boom quote: "Whenever we cannot love in the old, human way . . . God can..."
Whenever we cannot love in the old, human way . . . God can give us the perfect way. Corrie Ten Boom
But you're dead," said Harry. "Oh yes," said Dumbledore matter-of-factly. "Then...I'm dead too?" "Ah," said Dumbledore, smiling still more broadly. "That is the question, isn't it? On the whole, dear boy, I think not.” They looked at each other, the old man still beaming. "Not?" repeated Harry. "Not," said Dumbledore. "But…" Harry raised his hand instinctively toward the lightning scar. It did not seem to be there. "But I should have died—I didn't defend myself! I meant to let him kill... J. K. Rowling
I came on the old and best ways of writing through ignorance and experiment and was startled when truths leaped out of brushes like quail before gunshot. Ray Bradbury
Why is it, I wondered, that old people are always so self-centered and excitable? But I just smiled benignly and stood back, comforted by the thought that soon they would be dead. Bill Bryson
