Others Quotes (page 505)

What made drugs perpetually so sexy was the opportunity to be other. Years after he'd figured out that pot only made him paranoid and sleepless, he still got hard-ons at the thought of smoking it. Still lusted for that jailbreak. Jonathan Franzen
How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it. Adam Smith
Artists can have greater access to reality; they can see patterns and details and connections that other people, distracted by the blur of life, might miss. Just sharing that truth can be a very powerful thing. Jay-Z
Never pretend that the things you haven't got are not worth having. Never pretend that children, for instance, can be replaced by other things. Virginia Woolf
Martina Navratilova quote: "Changes made to please others are unrealistic, but more..."
Changes made to please others are unrealistic, but more important, they're unfair to you. Martina Navratilova
Break the glass, please, and free us from all these damned rules, from needing to find an explanation for everything, from doing only what others approve of. Paulo Coelho
He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other.~C.S. Lewis~ C. S. Lewis
As I travel through life, I gather experiences that lie imprinted on the deepest strata of memory, and there they ferment, are transformed, and sometimes rise to the surface and sprout like strange plants from other worlds. What is the fertile humus of the subconscious composed of? Why are certain images converted into recurrent themes in nightmares or writing? Isabel Allende
The tragedy of love is not death or separation. How long do you think it would have been before one or other of them ceased to care? Oh, it is dreadfully bitter to look at a woman whom you have loved with all your heart and soul, so that you felt you could not bear to let her out of your sight, and realize that you would not mind if you never saw her again. The tragedy of love is indifference. W. Somerset Maugham
Richard Wright quote: "Held at bay by the hate of others, preoccupied with his own..."
Held at bay by the hate of others, preoccupied with his own feelings, he was continuously at war with reality. Richard Wright
Dantes passed through all the stages of torture natural to prisoners in suspense. He was sustained at first by that pride of conscious innocence which is the sequence to hope; then he began to doubt his own innocence, which justified in some measure the governor's belief in his mental alienation; and then, relaxing his sentiment of pride, he addressed his supplications, not to God, but to man. God is always the last resource. Unfortunates, who ought to begin with God, do not have any hope in... Alexander Dumas
I don't see much future for the Americans ... it's a decayed country. And they have their racial problem, and the problem of social inequalities ... my feelings against Americanism are feelings of hatred and deep repugnance ... everything about the behaviour of American society reveals that it's half Judaised, and the other half negrified. How can one expect a State like that to hold together? Adolf Hitler
Existence alone had never been enough for him; he had always wanted more. Perhaps it was only from the force of his desires that he had regarded himself as a man to whom more was permitted than to others. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Worry more about your character than your reputation. Character is what you are, reputation merely what others think you are. John Wooden
Boris Pasternak quote: "Oh, what a love it was, utterly free, unique, like nothing..."
Oh, what a love it was, utterly free, unique, like nothing else on earth! Their thoughts were like other people's songs. Boris Pasternak
