Others Quotes (page 331)

We had played a kid's version of gang fighting called "Civil War," and then later we had got in on the real thing, we fought with chains and we fought barefisted and we fought Socs and we fought other grease gangs. It was a normal childhood. S. E. Hinton
Pearl S. Buck quote: "If there is no other life, then this one has been enough to..."
If there is no other life, then this one has been enough to make it worth being born myself...a human being. Pearl S. Buck
I thought everyone would be familiar with this figure: if I'd studied a thing in school I assumed it was general knowledge. I hadn't yet discovered that I lived in a sort of transparent balloon, drifting over the world without making much contact with it, and that the people I knew appeared to me at a different angle from the one at which they appeared to themselves; and that the reverse was also true. I was smaller to others, up there in my balloon, than I was to myself. I was also blurrier. Margaret Atwood
Virginia Satir quote: "We must not allow other people’s limited perceptions to define..."
We must not allow other people’s limited perceptions to define us. Virginia Satir
I think all happiness depends on the energy to assume the mask of some other life, on a re-birth as something not one's self. William Butler Yeats
A man becomes calm in the measure that he understands himself as a thought-evolved being. For such knowledge necessitates the understanding of others as the result of thought, and as he develops a right understanding, and sees ever more clearly the internal relations of things by the action of cause and effect, he ceases to fuss, fume, worry, and grieve. He remains poised, steadfast, serene. James Allen
The oppressors do not perceive their monopoly on having more as a privilege which dehumanizes others and themselves. They cannot see that, in the egoistic pursuit of having as a possessing class, they suffocate in their own possessions and no longer are; they merely have. Paulo Freire
Zig Ziglar quote: "You can have everything in life that you want if you just give..."
You can have everything in life that you want if you just give enough other people what they want. Zig Ziglar
Some discouragement, some faintness of heart at the new real future which replaces the imaginary, is not unusual, and we do not expect people to be deeply moved by what is not unusual. That element of tragedy which lies in the very fact of frequency has not yet wrought itself into the coarse emotion of mankind, and perhaps our frames could hardly bear much of it. If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel's heart... George Eliot
Anne Lamott quote: "When I was young, I used to be so jealous of other girls that..."
When I was young, I used to be so jealous of other girls that it crippled me. Anne Lamott
The pain comes from more than the facts of circumstance, or the deeds of others. It comes from within. From understanding what we lost. It comes from knowing how foolish we were - vain, arrogant children - when we thought ourselves happy. It comes from knowing how fragile and doomed the old ways were, just when we thought them and ourselves, secure!. The pain comes from knowing we have never been safe, and therefore will never be safe again. It comes from knowing we can never be children again. John Jakes
Believe me, when I say; There are no two powers. That command the soul. One is God. The other is the tide.-Anon. From the novel Abarat Clive Barker
Marquis de Sade quote: "Sexual pleasure is, I agree, a passion to which all others are..."
Sexual pleasure is, I agree, a passion to which all others are subordinate but in which they all unite. Marquis de Sade
A story is a way to say something that can’t be said any other way, and it takes every word in the story to say what the meaning is. Flannery O'Connor
This is what I believe: That I am I. That my soul is a dark forest. That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest. That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back. That I must have the courage to let them come and go. That I will never let mankind put anything over me, but that I will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and the gods in other men and women. There is my creed. David Herbert Lawrence
