Page Quotes (page 17)

Angels are thoughts of God--to pray to an angel is to look to a level of pure thinking, divine thinking, and to ask that it replace our thoughts of fear. (Page 27.) Marianne Williamson
Cornelia Funke quote: "I prefer a story that has the good sense to stay on the page..."
I prefer a story that has the good sense to stay on the page where it belongs.- Elinor Cornelia Funke
The page is long, blank, and full of truth. When I am through with it, it shall probably be long, full, and empty with words. Jack Kerouac
... and in the world beyond the tale we turn the page or close the book and resume our lives. A life that is, like any other, unlike any other. Neil Gaiman
No reflection was to be allowed now, not one glance was to be cast back; not even one forward. Not one thought was to be given either to the past or the future. The first was a page so heavenly sweet, so deadly sad, that to read one line of it would dissolve my courage and break down my energy. The last was an awful blank, something like then world when the deluge was gone by. Charlotte Bronte
. . .sometimes reading the same page over and over, until one sleepy afternoon something clicked, like a lock unlocking, and she saw those printed doors swing open on a vast house of words. Ken Kesey
Guy de Maupassant quote: "Words dazzle and deceive because they are mimed by the face...."
Words dazzle and deceive because they are mimed by the face. But black words on a white page are the soul laid bare. Guy de Maupassant
I like books whose virtue is all drawn together in a page or two. I like sentences that don't budge though armies cross them. Virginia Woolf
Each book is a new book. I’ve never written it before and I have to teach myself how to write it as I go along. The fact that I’ve written books in the past seems to play no part in it. I always feel like a beginner and I’m continually running into the same difficulties, the same blocks, the same despairs. You make so many mistakes as a writer, cross out so many bad sentences and ideas, discard so many worthless pages, that finally what you learn is how stupid you are. It’s a humbling... Paul Auster
Douglas Adams quote: "Very deep. You should send that in to the Reader's Digest. ..."
Very deep. You should send that in to the Reader's Digest. They've got a page for people like you. Douglas Adams
The baby explodes into an unknown world that is only knowable through some kind of a story – of course that is how we all live, it’s the narrative of our lives, but adoption drops you into the story after it has started. It’s like reading a book with the first few pages missing. It’s like arriving after curtain up. The feeling that something is missing never, ever leaves you – and it can’t, and it shouldn’t, because something is missing. Jeanette Winterson
If you're a poet, you do something beautiful. I mean, you're supposed to leave something beautiful after you get off the page and everything. The ones you're talking about don't leave a single, solitary thing beautiful. All that maybe the slightly better ones do is sort of get inside your head and leave something there, but just because they do, just because they know how to leave something, it doesn't have to be a poem for heaven's sake. It may just be some kind of terribly fascinating,... J. D. Salinger
A blank space on a form, the missing page, a void, a hole in your knowledge of someone--it's still some real *thing*. It exists. You don't get to fill it in with whatever you want. Barbara Kingsolver
Just the other day I said to Fang, "Don't you think we've got a storybook romance?" and he said, "Yes, and every page is ripped. Phyllis Diller
Walters looked quizzically at Morse, who sat reading one of the glossy 'porno' magazines he had brought from upstairs."You still sex-mad, I see, Morse," said the surgeon."I don't seem to be able to shake it off, Max." Morse turned over a page. "And you don't improve much either, do you? You've been examining all our bloody corpses for donkey's years, and you still refuse to tell us when they died. Colin Dexter
