Picks Quotes (page 6)

Noel Coward quote: "It'll never get well if you pick it."
It'll never get well if you pick it. Noel Coward
And still Meriadoc the hobbit stood there blinking through his tears, and no one spoke to him, indeed none seemed to heed him. He brushed away the tears, and stooped to pick up the green shield that Eowyn had given him, and he slung it at his back. Then he looked for his sword that he had let fall; for even as he struck his blow his arm was numbed, and now he could only use his left hand. J. R. R. Tolkien
Why don't you go on west to California? There's work there, and it never gets cold. Why, you can reach out anywhere and pick an orange. Why, there's always some kind of crop to work in. Why don't you go there? John Steinbeck
Terry Prachett quote: "The thing about stories is you have to pick the ones that last."
The thing about stories is you have to pick the ones that last. Terry Prachett
I must always forget how one word is able to pick out another, to manner another, until I have got something I might have said... but did not. Anne Sexton
On the village green, where you pick up sides and no feeling of local patriotism is involved, it is possible to play simply for fun and exercise: but as soon as the question of prestige arises, as soon as you feel that you and some larger unit will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage combative instincts are aroused…Nations work themselves into furies over these absurd contests, and seriously believe – at any rate for short periods – that running, jumping, and kicking a ball are tests of... George Orwell
I have never fit into this town, this marriage, this skin. I am the child who was picked last to play tag; I am the girl who laughed although she did not get the joke; I am the piecemeal part of you that you pretend doesn't exist, except it is all I am, all the time. Jodi Picoult
J. K. Rowling quote: "Gotta bone ter pick with yeh. I've heard you've bin givin' out..."
Gotta bone ter pick with yeh. I've heard you've bin givin' out signed photos. How come I haven't got one? J. K. Rowling
There is something wonderful about a book. We can pick it up. We can heft it. We can read it. We can set it down. We can think of what we have read. It does something for us. We can share great minds, great actions, and great undertakings in the pages of a book. Gordon B. Hinckley
And what, incidentally, do you think integrity is? The ability not to pick a watch out of your neighbor's pocket? No, it's not as easy as that. If that were all, I'd say ninety-five percent of humanity were honest, upright men. Only, as you can see, they aren't. Integrity is the ability to stand by an idea. Ayn Rand
Stephen King quote: "A banty-rooster sort of guy, the kind that likes to pick..."
A banty-rooster sort of guy, the kind that likes to pick fights, especially when the odds are all their way. Stephen King
What honest boy would pride himself on not picking pockets ? A thief who was trying to reform would. To be conceited of doing one's duty is then a sign of how little one does it, and how little one sees what a contemptible thing it is not to do it. Could any but a low creature be conceited of not being contemptible? Until our duty becomes to us common as breathing, we are poor creatures. George MacDonald
Stephen King quote: "The low bird is not picked tenderly out of the dust by its..."
The low bird is not picked tenderly out of the dust by its fellows; rather, it is dispatched quickly and without mercy. Stephen King
What I didn't say was that each time I picked up a German dictionary or a German book, the very sight of those dense, black, barbed-wire letters made my mind shut like a clam. Sylvia Plath
I’m always intrigued by my nonsensical concern with picking out a bunch of things that look exactly alike the ones that somehow I feel are the best and belong to me. It’s that same crazy urge or superstition, or whatever it is, that makes me open a Bible in a hotel room, hoping for some great happenstance spiritual word of advice. More often than not, I hit a long passage of begats and begots, which contain little inspiration other than the fact that procreation is the highest aim of life. Vincent Price
