Oneness Quotes (page 404)

So I have to create the whole thing afresh for myself each time. Probably all writers now are in the same boat. It is the penalty we pay for breaking with tradition, and the solitude makes the writing more exciting though the being read less so. One ought to sink to the bottom of the sea, probably, and live alone with ones words. Virginia Woolf
Salman Rushdie quote: "perhaps, if one wishes to remain an individual in the midst of..."
perhaps, if one wishes to remain an individual in the midst of the teeming multitudes, one must make oneself grotesque. Salman Rushdie
I whirled around and saw no one. No psychotic mad scientists, anyway."Jackpot, Max! Jackpot!" It was was Fang, and he was giggling hysterically. For those of you just joining us, Fang doesn't giggle. Especially hysterically. So for a second, this seemed like one of the weirder dreams of recent days. James Patterson
In Moscow you sit in a huge room at a restaurant; you know no one and no one knows you, and at the same time you don't feel a stranger. But here you know everyone and everyone knows you, and yet you are a stranger -- a stranger... A stranger, and lonely... Anton Chekhov
To generate exuberant diversity in a city's streets and districts four conditions are indispensable:1. The district, and indeed as many of its internal parts as possible, must serve more than one primary function; preferably more than two...2. Most blocks must be short; that is, streets and opportunities to turn corners must be frequent.3. The district must mingle buildings that vary in age and condition, including a good proportion of old ones so that they vary in the economic yield they... Jane Jacobs
Were one asked to characterize the life of religion in the broadest and most general terms possible, one might say that it consists of the belief that there is an unseen order, and our supreme good lies in harmoniously adjusting ourselves thereto. William James
Jacqueline Susann quote: "Yes, there's one thing I do want. I want to be aware of the..."
Yes, there's one thing I do want. I want to be aware of the minutes and the seconds, and to make each one count. Jacqueline Susann
No, Katie never fumbled. When she used her beautifully shaped but worn-looking hands, she used them with surety, whether it was to put a broken flower into a tumbler of water with one true gesture, or to wring out a scrub cloth with one decisive motion--the right hand turning in, and the left out, simultaneously. When she spoke, she spoke truly with the plain right words. And her thoughts walked in a clear uncompromising line. Betty Smith
Music, love, death. Certainly a triangle of sorts; maybe even an eternal one."The only people who can see the whole picture," he murmured, "are the ones who step out of the frame." (The ground beneath her feet.) Salman Rushdie
Charles Lamb quote: "Newspapers always excite curiosity. No one ever lays one down..."
Newspapers always excite curiosity. No one ever lays one down without a feeling of disappointment. Charles Lamb
She adapted herself to the split-second rhythm of the New Yorker going to and from work. Getting to the office was a nervous ordeal. If she arrived one minute before nine, she was a free person. If she arrived one minute after, she worried because that made her the logical scapegoat of the boss if he happened to be in a bad mood that day. Betty Smith
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "You see mother, you had no life of your own. They have no..."
You see mother, you had no life of your own. They have no idea. One has only a life of one's own. Barbara Kingsolver
Orson Scott Card quote: "In order to learn, one must change one's mind."
In order to learn, one must change one's mind. Orson Scott Card
There is only one real misfortune: to forfeit one's own good opinion of oneself. Lose your complacency, once betray your own self-contempt and the world will unhesitatingly endorse it. Thomas Mann
Six billion of us walking the planet, six billion smaller worlds on the bigger one. Shoe salesmen and short-order cooks who look boring from the outside - some have weirder lives than you. Six billion stories, every one an epic, full of tragedy and triumph, good and evil, despair and hope. You and me - we aren't so special, bro. Dean Koontz
