Personality Quotes (page 162)

Maybe it was this: The name of a person marked for murder is just a name, but the face makes real the cost of violence, for if we have the nerve to look, we can see in any face our own vulnerability. Dean Koontz
Jodi Picoult quote: "I'm the kind of person you want to kill."
I'm the kind of person you want to kill. Jodi Picoult
God wants the whole person and He will not rest till He gets us in entirety. No part of the man will do" (101) - "The Pursuit of God Aiden Wilson Tozer
And then the two basic ideals of modern man- without them he is unthinkable- the idea of free personality and the idea of life as sacrafice Boris Pasternak
Sylvia Plath quote: "I felt myself melting into the shadows like the negative of a..."
I felt myself melting into the shadows like the negative of a person I'd never seen before in my life. Sylvia Plath
Jesus Christ, one person with their mind made up can shove a lot of folks aroun'! You win, Ma. Put away that jack handle 'fore you hurt somebody. John Steinbeck
A stupid person can make only certain, limited types of errors; the mistakes open to a clever fellow are far broader. But to the one who knows how smart he is compared to everyone else, the possibilities for true idiocy are boundless. Steven Brust
I don't know how much you understand about what is happening outside your locked room, but strangely enough (despite your personality), you have a number of loyal idiots working on your behalf. I have already established an elite body called The Knights of the Idiotic Table. We will be holding an annual dinner at which we'll have fun talking crap about you. (No, you're not invited). Steig Larsson
I saw what a mess a lot of people could make of their lives when they're smitten. Some of them go temporarily insane. They find a person who they think holds the key to their happiness-the only key to their happiness... My work has always been my greatest happiness Mae West
My idea of an interesting person is someone who is quite proud of their seemingly abnormal life and turns their disadvantage into a career. John Waters
I was settled into nothingness; a kind of non-being, and I accepted it. It didn't make for an interesting person. I didn't want to be interesting, it was too hard. What I really wanted was only a soft, hazy space to live in, and to be left alone. Charles Bukowski
The older I get, the more I see how much motivations matter. The Zune was crappy because the people at Microsoft don’t really love music or art the way we do. We won because we personally love music. Walter Isaacson
What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books... Carl Sagan
Alan Watts quote: "Jesus was not the man he was as a result of making Jesus..."
Jesus was not the man he was as a result of making Jesus Christ his personal savior. Alan Watts
I only wanted to suggest to you that self-sacrifice is a passion so overwhelming that beside it even lust and hunger are trifling. It whirls its victim to destruction in the highest affirmation of his personality. No wine is so intoxicating, no love so shattering, no vice so compelling. When he sacrifices himself, man for a moment is greater than God, for how can God, infinite and omnipotent, sacrifice himself? At best he can only sacrifice his only begotten son. W. Somerset Maugham
