Pleasing Quotes (page 46)

Let the Stoics say what they please, we do not eat for the good of living, but because the meat is savory and the appetite is keen. Ralph Waldo Emerson
I need you to do more than survive. As writers, as revolutionaries, tell the truth, your truth in your own way. Do not buy into their system of censorship, imagining that if you drop this character or hide that emotion, you can slide through their blockades. Do not eat your heart out in the hope of pleasing them. Dorothy Allison
Kay Thompson quote: "And charge it please."
And charge it please. Kay Thompson
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "Dear future generations: Please accept our apologies. We were..."
Dear future generations: Please accept our apologies. We were rolling drunk on petroleum. Kurt Vonnegut
The gods have fled, I know. My sense is the gods have always been essentially absent. I do not believe human beings have played games or sports from the beginning merely to summon or to please or to appease the gods. If anthropologists and historians believe that, it is because they believe whatever they have been able to recover about what humankind told the gods humankind was doing. I believe we have played games, and watched games, to imitate the gods, to become godlike in our worship... A. Bartlett Giamatti
My help had been needed and claimed; I had given it: I was pleased to have done something: trivial, transitory though the deed was, it was yet an active thing, and I was weary of an existence all passive. Charlotte Bronte
Haruki Murakami quote: "I'd like to have a good long talk with you once you've calmed..."
I'd like to have a good long talk with you once you've calmed down. Please call me soon. Happy Birthday. Haruki Murakami
Elizabeth Gilbert quote: "Dear Lord, please show me everything I need to understand..."
Dear Lord, please show me everything I need to understand about forgiveness and surrender Elizabeth Gilbert
All men are by nature free; you have therefore an undoubted liberty to depart whenever you please, but will have many and great difficulties to encounter in passing the frontiers. Voltaire
Then there was this freedom the little guys were always getting killed for. Was it freedom from another country? Freedom from work or disease or death? Freedom from your mother-in-law? Please mister give us a bill of sale on this freedom before we go out and get killed. Give us a bill of sale drawn up plainly in advance what we're getting killed for... so we can be sure after we've won your war that we've got the same kind of freedom we bargained for. Dalton Trumbo
Wise wretch! with pleasures too refined to please, With too much spirit to be e'er at ease, With too much quickness ever to be taught, With too much thinking to have common thought: You purchase pain with all that joy can give, And die of nothing but a rage to live. Alexander Pope
J. D. Salinger quote: "John Keats / John Keats / John / Please put your scarf on."
John Keats / John Keats / John / Please put your scarf on. J. D. Salinger
If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather. Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do. Stephen Fry
I'll understand if you don't want me. But I will be heartbroken. You are all I ever dreamed of and hoped for. You are much, much more. Please know that I didn't think I was mean-minded. But I realize I am. I don't want you to put your arms around me and say it's all right, that you forgive me. I want you to be sure that you do, and my love for you will last as long as I live. I can see no lightness, no humour, no joke to make. I just hope that we will be able to go back to when we had... Maeve Binchy
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "Could you hold the chainsaw a bit closer to your mouth, please?"
Could you hold the chainsaw a bit closer to your mouth, please? Chuck Palahniuk
