Ours Quotes (page 679)

Ah, it is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all; and if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain. Bram Stoker
The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed. J. K. Rowling
Traditional progressive bread and butter economic issues are the heart of the solution. It's about ensuring decent jobs with a good wage. It's about ensuring a free public education in all the communities of America, whether they are in the shiny new affluent suburbs or the crumbling old schools of the older suburbs and cities. It's about ensuring a system where all Americans have access to health care, instead of a steadily declining share of our population. Paul Wellstone
Katherine Mansfield quote: "When we begin to take our failures non-seriously, it means we..."
When we begin to take our failures non-seriously, it means we are ceasing to be afraid of them. Katherine Mansfield
We were all fated to die, and so it is good that at least we can be sure our deaths today might bring about a good end, might make the world a better place. Orson Scott Card
The windiest militant trash. Important Persons shout. Is not so crude as our wish: What mad Nijinsky wrote About Diaghilev. Is true of the normal heart; For the error bred in the bone. Of each woman and each man. Craves what it cannot have; Not universal love. But to be loved alone. W. H. Auden

Television is the creamy filling that distracts us from the substance our lives David Niven
Don DeLillo quote: "We commit our crimes at night and reveal ourselves in the high..."
We commit our crimes at night and reveal ourselves in the high noon of studio lights. Don DeLillo
Better to be miserable with her than happy without her. Let our hearts break provided they break together. If the voice within us does not say this it is not the voice of Eros. C. S. Lewis
I wanted to walk straight on through the red grass and over the edge of the world, which could not be very far away. The light and air abot me told me that the world ended here: only the ground and sun and sky were left, and if one went a little farther there would only be sun and sky, and one would float off into them, like the tawny hawks which sailed over our heads making slow shadows on the grass. Willa Cather
Charles Dickens quote: "We need never be ashamed of our tears."
We need never be ashamed of our tears. Charles Dickens
I swear that each of us keeps, battened down inside himself, a sort of lunatic giant - impossible socially, but full-scale - and that it's the knockings and baterrings we sometimes hear in each other that keeps our intercourse from utter banaility. Elizabeth Bowen
Not willingly," admitted the tiger. "But here is the alternative; either you transform yourself into an eye for our child, or I and my dear wife will tear you into shreds. L. Frank Baum
If you asked twenty good men to-day what they thought the highest of the virtues, nineteen of them would reply, Unselfishness. But if you asked almost any of the great Christians of old he would have replied, Love- You see what has happened? A negative term has been substituted for a positive, and this is of more than philological importance. The negative ideal of Unselfishness carries with it the suggestion not primarily of securing good things for others, but of going without them... C. S. Lewis
I wish wearing flat-irons on our heads would keep us from growing up. But buds will be roses, and kittens, cats, - more's the pity! Louisa May Alcott
