Pays Quotes (page 52)

I am remarkably likeable. Few people have ever been as likeable as I am. There is, frankly, no end to my likeability. People gather together in public assemblies to discuss how much they like me. I have several awards, and a small medal from a small country in South America which pays tribute both to how much I am liked and my general all around wonderfulness. I don't have it on me, of course. I keep my medals in my sock drawer. Neil Gaiman
The way I see it, every time a man gets up in the morning he starts his life over. Sure, the bills are there to pay, and the job is there to do, but you don't have to stay in a pattern. You can always start over, saddle a fresh horse and take another trail. Louis L'Amour
Haruki Murakami quote: "Exhaustion pays no mind to age or beauty. Like rain and..."
Exhaustion pays no mind to age or beauty. Like rain and earthquakes and hail and floods. Haruki Murakami
Haruki Murakami quote: "If you really want to know something, you have to be willing..."
If you really want to know something, you have to be willing to pay the price. Haruki Murakami
A people living under the perpetual menace of war and invasion is very easy to govern. It demands no social reform. It does not haggle over expenditures for armaments and military equipment. It pays without discussion, it ruins itself, and that is an excellent thing for the syndicates of financiers and manufacturers for whom patriotic terrors are an abundant source of gain. Anatole France
I believe all this, and much, much more, because I guess it is my duty to. But I pay a price for my gaga credulity, which I want to describe as a sort of intellectual seasickness. Kurt Vonnegut
At times our need for a sympathetic gesture is so great that we care not what exactly it signifies or how much we may have to pay for it afterwards. E. M. Forster
Cormac McCarthy quote: "People don't pay attention. And then one day there's an..."
People don't pay attention. And then one day there's an accounting. And after that, nothing is the same. Cormac McCarthy
Sometimes I think that the amount of time you live on earth is just an inverse reflection of how good you were in a previous existence. For example, infants who die from SIDs were actually great people when they were alive for real, so they get to go to heaven after a mere five weeks in purgatory. Meanwhile anyone Willard Scott ever congratulated for turning one hundred two was obviously a terrible individual who had many many previous sins to pay for and had to spend a century in his or her... Chuck Klosterman
If you are interested in something, you will focus on it, and if you focus attention on anything, it is likely that you will become interested in it. Many of the things we find interesting are not so by nature, but because we took the trouble of paying attention to them. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
My friends are gone and my hair is grey. I ache in places I used to play. And I’m crazy for love but I’m not coming on. I’m just paying my rent every day in the tower of song. Leonard Cohen
Mary Oliver quote: "Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished...."
Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it. Mary Oliver
So you think that you're a failure, do you? Well, you probably are. What's wrong with that? In the first place, if you've any sense at all you must have learned by now that we pay just as dearly for our triumphs as we do for our defeats. Go ahead and fail. But fail with wit, fail with grace, fail with style. A mediocre failure is as insufferable as a mediocre success. Embrace failure! Seek it out. Learn to love it. That may be the only way any of us will ever be free. Tom Robbins
Ludwig Wittgenstein quote: "Don't for heaven's sake, be afraid of talking nonsense! But..."
Don't for heaven's sake, be afraid of talking nonsense! But you must pay attention to your nonsense. Ludwig Wittgenstein
It's all a matter of paying attention, being awake in the presentmoment, and not expecting a huge payoff. The magic in this world seemsto work in whispers and small kindnesses. Charles de Lint
