Pays Quotes (page 55)

But in the closeness of the sewing room, Simon can smell her as well as look at her. He tries to pay no attention but her scent is a distracting undercurrent. She smells like smoke; smoke, and laundry soap, and the salt from her skin; and she smells of the skin itself, with its undertone of dampness, fullness, ripeness - what? Ferns and mushrooms; fruits crushed and fermenting. Margaret Atwood
Azar Nafisi quote: "We all had to pay, but not for the crimes we were accused of. ..."
We all had to pay, but not for the crimes we were accused of. There were other scores to settle. Azar Nafisi
I felt that I was leaving part of myself behind, and that wherever I went afterwards I should feel the lack of it, and search for it hopelessly, as ghosts are said to do, frequenting the spots where they buried material treasures without which they cannot pay their way to the nether world. Evelyn Waugh
The problem after a war is with the victor. He thinks he has just proved that war and violence pay. Who will now teach him a lesson? A. J. Muste
John Steinbeck quote: "Men seem to be born with a debt they can never pay no matter..."
Men seem to be born with a debt they can never pay no matter how hard they try. John Steinbeck
George Bernard Shaw quote: "A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on..."
A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. George Bernard Shaw
For this new-married man approaching here, Whose salt imagination yet hath wrong'd. Your well defended honour, you must pardon. For Mariana's sake: but as he adjudged your brother,--Being criminal, in double violation. Of sacred chastity and of promise-breach. Thereon dependent, for your brother's life,--The very mercy of the law cries out. Most audible, even from his proper tongue,'An Angelo for Claudio, death for death!'Haste still pays haste, and leisure answers leisure; Like doth quit... William Shakespeare
When you need to borrow money the Mob seems like a better deal I think. 'You don't pay me back I break both yer legs.' Is that all? You won't take my house or wreck my credit rating? Fine where do I sign. Legs? Fine. You don't even have to sign anything. Craig Ferguson
Failure of government programs prompts more determined effort, while the loss of liberty is ignored or rationalized away...whether is it is the war on poverty, drugs, terrorism...or the current Hitler of the day, an appeal to patriotism is used to convince the people that a little sacrifice of liberty, here or there, is a small price to pay...The results, though, are frightening and will soon become even more so. Ron Paul
Wilfred Grenfell quote: "The service we render others is the rent we pay for our room..."
The service we render others is the rent we pay for our room on earth. Wilfred Grenfell
If you followed this economic crisis and you do not think that the world is getting flatter, you are not paying attention. We saw the entire global economy at one time acting totally in sync. The real truth is the world is even flatter than I thought. Our mortgage crisis is killing Deutsche Bank. You still don't think the world is flat? Thomas Friedman
I think how pay gets determined is pretty broad - experience, how people look, what they bring to the job. But there's no question women are paid less. Women don't ask. Dee Dee Myers
There aren't many downsides to being rich, other than paying taxes and having relatives asking for money. But being famous, that's a 24 hour job right there. Bill Murray
I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. See if that doesn't cover most of it. There's not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job. Bill Murray
I feel that people I trusted - I don't know who, on what level - have let me down, and I think they have behaved disgracefully, and it's for them to pay. And I think, frankly, that I'm the best person to see it through. Rupert Murdoch
