People Quotes (page 657)

Which he said was the big lie they all bought that made doctors and standard therapy such a waste of time for people like us -- they thought that diagnosis was the same as cure. That if you knew why, it would stop. Which is bullshit. You only stop if you stop. David Foster Wallace
A waiter appeared, and Gus said: “Bring coffee for my guests, please, and a plate of ham sandwiches.” He deliberately did not ask them what they wanted. He had seen Woodrow Wilson act like this with people he wanted to intimidate. Ken Follet
It was another example of a phenomenon I call "the talking dog syndrome." Some people are still amazed that any woman (this includes Governors' wives, corporate CEOs, sports stars and rock singers) can hold her own under pressure and be articulate and knowledgeable. The dog can talk! Hillary Clinton
As for me, I longed to love as some people long to cry. I felt that every hour I slept now would be an hour stolen from life. Albert Camus
Richard Ford quote: "Things happen when people are not where they belong, and the..."
Things happen when people are not where they belong, and the world moves forward and back by that principle. Richard Ford
Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people... And the preservation of the means of knowledge among the lowest ranks is of more importance to the public than all the property of the rich men in the country... John Adams

Honesty is a very expensive gift, Don't expect it from cheap people. Warren Buffett
I tire so of hearing people say, Let things take their course. Tomorrow is another day. I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's bread. Langston Hughes
The real problem of the Christian life comes where people do not usually look for it. It comes the very moment you wake up each morning. All your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists simply in shoving them all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in. C. S. Lewis
When politicians start talking about large groups of their fellow Americans as 'enemies,' it's time for a quiet stir of alertness. Polarizing people is a good way to win an election, and also a good way to wreck a country. Molly Ivins
Aristotle quote: "Even that some people try deceived me many times ... I will..."
Even that some people try deceived me many times ... I will not fail to believe that somewhere, someone deserves my trust. Aristotle
I was thinking of people who say that happiness is impossible on earth. Look how hard they all try to find some joy in life. Look how they struggle for it. Why should any living creature exist in pain? By what conceivable right can anyone demand that a human being exist for anything but for his own joy? Every one of them wants it. Every part of him wants it. But they never find it. I wonder why. Ayn Rand
Anne Frank quote: "Parents can only advise their children or point them in the..."
Parents can only advise their children or point them in the right direction. Ultimately people shape their own characters. Anne Frank
Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center. [...] Big, undreamed-of things--the people on the edge see them first. Kurt Vonnegut
No, give me the past. It doesn’t change; it’s all there in black and white, and you can get to know about it comfortably and decorously and, above all, privately - by reading. … As reading becomes more and more habitual and widespread, an ever-increasing number of people will discover that books will give them all the pleasures of social life and none of its intolerable tedium. Aldous Huxley
