Our Quotes (page 472)

It is funny how mortals always picture us as putting things into their minds: in reality our best work is done by keeping things out. C. S. Lewis
William Shakespeare quote: "The love that follows us sometime is our trouble, which still..."
The love that follows us sometime is our trouble, which still we thank as love. William Shakespeare
At sixty miles per hour, you could pass our farm in a minute, on County Road 686, which ran due north into the T intersection at Cabot Street Road. Jane Smiley
Napoleon Bonaparte quote: "In our time no one has the conception of what is great. It is..."
In our time no one has the conception of what is great. It is up to me to show them. Napoleon Bonaparte
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "We do not place especial value on the possession of a virtue..."
We do not place especial value on the possession of a virtue until we notice its total absence in our opponent. Friedrich Nietzsche
The arguments against insanity fall through with a soft shirring sound; these are the sounds of dead voices on dead records floating down the broken shaft of memory. When I turn to you to ask if you remember, When I turn to you in our bed Stephen King
It wasn't until we dropped him at his university dormitory and left him there looking touchingly lost and bewildered amid an assortment of cardboard boxes and suitcases in a spartan room not unlike a prison cell that it really hit home that he was vanishing out of our lives and into his own. Bill Bryson
Ecstasy is a complex emotion containing elements of joy, fear, terror, triumph, surrender, and empathy. What has replaced our prehistoric understanding of this complex of ecstasy now is the word comfort, a tremendously bloodless notion. Drugs are not comfortable, and anyone who thinks they are comfortable or even escapist should not toy with drugs unless they’re willing to get their noses rubbed in their own stuff. Terence McKenna
Technology is crucial to civilization why? Because it helps us make our fate. We don't need God or miracles or the flight of the bumble bee. But it is also crouched and undecidable. It can go either way. Don DeLillo
The sexual mechanisms of the two genders are just not compatible, that’s the horrible truth of it. (...) This is a truth we dare not acknowledge these days - because sameness is our religion and heretics are no more welcome now than they ever were - but I’m going to acknowledge it, because I’ve always felt that humility before the facts is the only thing that keeps a rational man together. Be humble in the face of facts, and proud in the face of opinions, as George Bernard Shaw once said.... Hugh Laurie
Phyllis Theroux quote: "We were all so young that there were no lines on our faces to..."
We were all so young that there were no lines on our faces to read between. Phyllis Theroux
The critical question for our generation—and for every generation— is this: If you could have heaven, with no sickness, and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties you ever saw, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict or any natural disasters, could you be satisfied with heaven, if Christ were not there? John Piper
Back in my day, which was about a week and a half ago, we took our lumps and we got back up and we cried like babies and quit and then put on weight. Joss Whedon
Many are poets, but without the name; For what is Poesy but to create. From overfeeling Good or Ill; and aim. At an external life beyond our fate, And be the new Prometheus of new men, Bestowing fire from Heaven, and then, too late, Finding the pleasure given repaid with pain George Byron
Anne Rice quote: "New Orleans, city of roaches, city of decay, city of our..."
New Orleans, city of roaches, city of decay, city of our family, and of happy, happy people. Anne Rice
