Putting Quotes (page 68)

It is a hard thing when one has shot sixty-five lions or more, as I have in the course of my life, that the sixty-sixth should chew your leg like a quid of tobacco. It breaks the routine of the thing, and putting other considerations aside, I am an orderly man and don't like that. This is by the way. H. Rider Haggard
Terry Prachett quote: "The problem with having an open mind, of course, is that..."
The problem with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and putting things in it. Terry Prachett
Muggle women wear them, Archie, not the men, they wear these," said the Ministry wizard, and he brandished the pinstriped trousers. "I'm not putting them on," said old Archie in indignation. "I like a healthy breeze 'round my privates, thanks. J. K. Rowling
When we experience a film, we consciously prime ourselves for illusion. Putting aside will and intellect, we make way for it in our imagination. The sequence of pictures plays directly on our feelings. Music works in the same fashion; I would say that there is no art form that has so much in common with film as music. Both affect our emotions directly, not via the intellect. And film is mainly rhythm; it is inhalation and exhalation in continuous sequence. Ingmar Bergman
Something in the humble voice must have touched Msimangu, for he said, I am not kind. I am a selfish and sinful man, but God put his hands on me, that is all. Alan Paton
Jodi Picoult quote: "As for his name, well, what attorney wouldn't want to be able..."

You're not like the others. I've seen a few; I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I said something about the moon, you looked at the moon, last night. The others would never do that. The others would walk off and leave me talking. Or threaten me. No one has time any more for anyone else. You're one of the few who put up with me. That's why I think it's so strange you're a fireman, it just doesn't seem right for you, somehow. Ray Bradbury
In order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. It was like putting out your own eyes in order not to see the bad things in life. Paulo Coelho
Every age, every culture, every custom and tradition has its own character, its own weakness and its own strength, it beauties and ugliness; accepts certain sufferings as matters of course, puts up patiently with certain evils. Human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap... Now there are times when a whole generation is caught in this way between two ages, two modes of life, with the consequence that it loses all power to understand... Herman Hesse
Bruce Sterling quote: "We'll exchange rings, we'll throw rice. We'll put down..."
...We'll exchange rings, we'll throw rice. We'll put down roots.'We don't have roots. We're network people. We have aerials. Bruce Sterling
I also have a brand-new prescription for gunfire jitters: When the shooting gets loud, proceed to the nearest wooden staircase. Run up and down a few times, making sure to stumble at least once. What with the scratches and the noise of running and falling, you won't even be able to hear the shooting, much less worry about it. Yours truly has put this magic formula to use, with great success! Anne Frank
Elbert Hubbard quote: "If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of..."
If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.(Get Out or Get in Line, 1928) Elbert Hubbard
Homer quote: "All men owe honor to the poets - honor and awe; for they are..."
All men owe honor to the poets - honor and awe; for they are dearest to the Muse who puts upon their lips the ways of life. Homer
A. A. Milne quote: "When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be..."
When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be pretty sure that an Adventure is going to happen. A. A. Milne
Love is like a tree: it shoots of itself; it strikes it's roots deeply into our whole being, and frequently continues to put forth green leaves over a heart in ruins. And there is this unaccountable circumstance attending it, that the blinder the passion the more tenacious it is. Never is it stronger than when it is most unreasonable. Victor Hugo
