There is always the danger that those who think alike should gravitate together into ‘coteries’ where they will henceforth encounter opposition only in the emasculated form of rumor that the outsiders say thus and thus. The absent are easily refuted, complacent dogmatism thrives, and differences of opinion are embittered by group hostility. Each group hears not the best, but the worst, that the other groups can say. C. S. Lewis
We talk like we know what’s going on, but we don’t. We don’t know anything. We’re really young and we’re gonna screw up a lot. We’re gonna keep changing our minds and even sometimes our hearts. And through all that, the only real thing we can offer each other is forgiveness. I couldn’t do that. Or at least, I did it too late. Don’t make my mistake. Don’t let yourself be so angry you stop loving. Because one day you’ll wake up from that anger and the person you love will be gone. Kevin Williamson
Neil Gaiman quote: "you got a story to tell, and you are the only one who can tell..."
you got a story to tell, and you are the only one who can tell it. Don't give up! Neil Gaiman
Lloyd Alexander quote: "True allegiance is only given willingly."
True allegiance is only given willingly. Lloyd Alexander
Suzanne Collins quote: "Not only does he hate me, and want to kill me, he no longer..."
Not only does he hate me, and want to kill me, he no longer believes I'm human. It was less painful being strangled. Suzanne Collins
It's precisely their diseases that people pride themselves on, and I do-more perhaps than anybody else. Let's not argue; my objection was absurd. But that aside, I am firmly convinced that not only excess of consciousness, but any consciousness at all is a disease. Fyodor Dostoevsky
But the reality is we often become our kindest, most ethical selves only by seeing what it feels like to be a selfish jackass first. Cheryl Strayed
George R. R. Martin quote: "I’m not afraid to die.” It was only half a lie."
I’m not afraid to die.” It was only half a lie. George R. R. Martin
So with occasional tiffs, but on the whole rollicking, they drew near the Neverland; for after many moons they did reach it, and, what is more, they had been going pretty straight all the time, not perhaps so much owing to the guidance of Peter or Tink as because the sland was out looking for them. It is only thus that anyone may sight those magic shores. J. M. Barrie
Even the wisest among you is only a confusion and hybrid of plant and phantom. But do I ask you to become phantoms or plants? Friedrich Nietzsche
If men would steadily observe realities only, and not allow themselves to be deluded, life, to compare it with such things as we know, would be like a fairty tale from the Arabian Nights' Entertainments. Henry David Thoreau
Faith is a myth and beliefs shift like mists on the shore; thoughts vanish; words, once pronounced, die; and the memory of yesterday is as shadowy as the hope of to-morrow.... In this world? as I have known it? we are made to suffer without the shadow of a reason, of a cause or of guilt.... There is no morality, no knowledge and no hope; there is only the consciousness of ourselves which drives us about a world that... is always but a vain and floating appearance.... A moment, a twinkling of... Joseph Conrad
The hydrangeas are clipped for the winter and there is a gardener with rum on his breath (and odd socks on his feet) who offers to show you the scars on his back, the droppings of a wallaby, the scratchings of a bandicoot or a leech which he will pull inside out with the aid of a twig- "T'only way to kill'un, missus. Peter Carey
Barbara Taylor Bradford quote: "I'm not ancient, darling. I'm only fifty. And when it comes to..."
I'm not ancient, darling. I'm only fifty. And when it comes to sex a woman of fifty can often outlast a man half her age. Barbara Taylor Bradford
The Government simply cannot make up their mind or they cannot get the prime minister to make up his mind. So they go on in strange paradox, decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all powerful for impotency. And so we go on preparing more months more years precious perhaps vital for the greatness of Britain for the locusts to eat. - Speaking in the Address in Reply debate, after giving some specific instances of Germany's war preparedness Winston Churchill
