Right. But do you think I could face my children otherwise? You know what's going to happen as well as I do, Jack, and I hope and pray I can get Jem and Scout through it without bitterness, and most of all, without catching Maycomb's usual disease. Why reasonable people go stark raving mad when anything involving a Negro comes up, is something I don't pretend to understand... I just hope that Jem and Scout come to me for their answers instead of listening to the town. I hope they trust me... Harper Lee
We must note the curious fact that people are not content with what is simple to understand, but go straight for the more complex problems which they will perhaps never grasp. What is simple to grasp is quite usable and useful, and can keep us occupied for a whole lifetime if it satisfies and stimulates us. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Radio is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome. T. S. Eliot
Jodi Picoult quote: "You can stay up all night and still not count all the ways to..."
You can stay up all night and still not count all the ways to lose the people you love. Jodi Picoult
As we live, our hearts turn colder. Cause pain is what we go through, as we become older. We get insulted by others, lose trust for those others. We get back stabbed by friends. It becomes harder for us to give others a hand. We get our heart broken by people we love, even that we give them all we have. Then we lose family over time. What else could rust the heart more over time? Blackgold. Kanye West
Haruki Murakami quote: "Both were rather precocious, and like many precocious young..."
Both were rather precocious, and like many precocious young people they found it hard to grow up. Haruki Murakami
Daniel was slow to take up the cheer. But when he did, he meant it. This was politics. It was ugly, it was irrational, but it was preferable to war. Roger was being cheered because he had won. What did it mean to win? It meant being cheered. So Daniel huzzahed, as lustily as his dry pipes and creaky ribs would permit, and was astounded to see the way people came a-running: not only the Quality from their town-houses, but hooligans and Vagabonds from bonfire-strewn fields to the north, to... Neal Stephenson
Love . . . is like nature, but in reverse; first it fruits, then it flowers, then it seems to wither, then it goes deep, deep down into its burrow, where no one sees it, where it is lost from sight, and ultimately people die with that secret buried inside their souls. Edna O'Brien
Anne Tyler quote: "Bravest thing about people is how they go on loving mortal..."
Bravest thing about people is how they go on loving mortal beings after finding out there's such a thing as dying. Anne Tyler
It is a know fact that almost all revolutions have been the work, not of the common people, but of the aristocracy, and especially of the decayed part of the aristocracy. Vilfredo Pareto
The more you think about and interact with other people, the more you realize that it is untenable to privilege your interests over theirs. Steven Pinker
I also know there are timeless waters, endless seas, and lots of people in this world whose names don't matter to anyone but themselves. I look up at the sky and I see you there. Edwidge Danticat
It seems to me, that if people only knew how hard it was for me to endure life, they would find it easier to forgive me for all the wrong things I’ve done and all the good things that I have failed to do. And they would still find a little compassion within them to pity me. Ivo Andric
Edgar Rice Burroughs quote: "If people were paid for writing rot such as I read in some of..."
If people were paid for writing rot such as I read in some of those magazines that I could write stories just as rotten. Edgar Rice Burroughs
I led the life of so many other so-called respectable people,—that is, in debauchery. And like the majority, while leading the life of a debauche, I was convinced that I was a man of irreproachable morality. Leo Tolstoy
