Ours Quotes (page 690)

We'll leave now, so that this moment will remain a perfect memory...let it be our song and think of me every time you hear it. Betty Smith
Wallace Stevens quote: "Children picking up our bones. Will never know that these were..."
Children picking up our bones. Will never know that these were once. As quick as foxes on the hill; Wallace Stevens
The only funny part about Colonial Dunsboro is maybe it's too authentic, but for all the wrong reasons. This whole crowd of losers and nutcases who hide out here because they can't make it in the real world, in real jobs? isn't this why we left England in the first place? To establish our own alternate reality. Weren't the Pilgrims pretty much the crackpots of their time? For sure, instead of just wanting to believe something different about God's love, the losers I work with want to find... Chuck Palahniuk
Robert Browning quote: "Without love, our earth is a tomb"
Without love, our earth is a tomb Robert Browning
In the matter of physics, the first lessons should contain nothing but what is experimental and interesting to see. A pretty experiment is in itself often more valuable than twenty formulae extracted from our minds. Albert Einstein
I don't know. Maybe we're all chaos theorists. Lovers of pattern and predictability, we're scared shitless of explosive change. But we're fascinated by it, too. Drawn to it. Travelers tap their brakes to ogle the mutilation and mangled metal on the side of the interstate, and the traffic backs up for miles. Hijacked planes crash into skyscrapers, breached levees drown a city, and CNN and the networks rush to the scene so that we can all sit in front of our TVs and feast on the footage. Stare,... Wally Lamb
Orson Scott Card quote: "If you listen very carefully, you can hear the good fairy come..."
If you listen very carefully, you can hear the good fairy come in the night and leave our assignment for tomorrow. Orson Scott Card
Martin Amis quote: "They did more than take our youth away. They also took away..."
They did more than take our youth away. They also took away the men we were going to be. Martin Amis
the psyche has been burnedand left us senseless, the world has been darker than lights-outin a closet full of hungry bats, and the whiskey and wine entered our veinswhen blood was too weak to carry on Charles Bukowski
It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are neverable to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us. This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good heart whatever they might have to say. Mahatma Gandhi
What are the stars but points in the body of God where we insert the healing needles of our terror and longing? --Gravity's Rainbow, V699 Thomas Pynchon
The world is big but it is comprehensible," says R. Buckminster Fuller. But it seems to me that the world is not nearly big enough and that any portion of its surface, left unpaved and alive, is infinitely rich in details and relationships, in wonder, beauty, mystery comprehensible only in part. The very existence of existence is itself suggestive of the unknown - not a problem, but a mystery. We will never get to the bottom of it, never know the whole of even so small and trivial and... Edward Abbey
And when Hugh would grow progressively Gandhi on me, I'd remind him that these were pests---disease carriers who feasted upon the dead and then came indoors to dance upon our silverware. David Sedaris
So he was deserted. The whole world was clamouring: Kill yourself, kill yourself, for our sakes. But why should he kill himself for their sakes? Food was pleasant; the sun hot; and this killing oneself, how does one set about it, with a table knife, uglily, with floods of blood, - by sucking a gaspipe? He was too weak; he could scarcely raise his hand. Besides, now that he was quite alone, condemned, deserted, as those who are about to die are alone, there was a luxury in it, an isolation... Virginia Woolf
Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these. Susan B. Anthony
