Quickness Quotes (page 38)

Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Keep this in mind; it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate? and quickly. Robert A. Heinlein
Success is no proof of virtue. In the case of a book, quick acclaim is presumptive evidence of a lack of substance and originality. Walter Kaufmann
There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly. Woody Allen
If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him. Paulo Coelho
Mario Puzo quote: "Time erodes gratitude more quickly than it does beauty!"
Time erodes gratitude more quickly than it does beauty! Mario Puzo
I saw white figures. Twice I fancied I saw a solitary white, ape-like creature running rather quickly up the hill, and once near the ruins I saw a leash of them carrying some dark body. H. G. Wells
I was aware of the time slipping away so quickly and I was hideously afraid that I would never have another chance to be with him like this again- openly, the Walls between us gone for once. His words hinted at an end, and I recoiled from the idea. I couldn't waste one minute I had with him. Stephenie Meyer
Dogs are here to remind us life really is a simple thing. You eat, sleep, take walks, and pee when you must. That's about all there is. They are quick to forgive trespasses and assume strangers will be kind. Jonathan Carroll
I will see to this; you see to your sister. Be quick about it. It won’t be long before I come for you, and you’d best be ready, Jess, with my ring still gracing your hand. You won’t stay me then. I’ll drag you to Scotland in irons if I have to.” He left her in a rush. As always, taking her heart with him. Sylvia Day
Paul Scott quote: "Rumours began with the whispered gossip of native servants and..."
Rumours began with the whispered gossip of native servants and spread quickly to the rest of the population. Paul Scott
Katherine Mansfield quote: "Oh, how quickly things changed! Why didn't happiness last for..."
Oh, how quickly things changed! Why didn't happiness last for ever? For ever wasn't a bit too long. Katherine Mansfield
If there were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness, did lay siege to it, Making it momentary as a sound, Swift as a shadow, short as any dream, Brief as the lightning in the collied night. That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth, And ere a man hath power to say 'Behold!'The jaws of darkness do devour it up; So quick bright things come to confusion. William Shakespeare
Instead of answering, Will took a step toward her, and all at once, everything happened too quickly to even make sense of it. One second he was standing three feet away from her, and in the next he had a hand on her hip and was pulling her close. Leaning in, he kissed her. His lips were soft soft, and he was suprisingly gentle. Maybe it was simply that he'd caught her by surprise, but even so, she found herself kissing him back. The kiss didn't last long, and it wasn't the kind of... Nicholas Sparks
Andre Dubus quote: "He learned how quickly love died when you weren't looking; if..."
He learned how quickly love died when you weren't looking; if you weren't looking. Andre Dubus
On these occasions I read quickly, voraciously, almost skimming, trying to get as much into my head as possible before the next long starvation. If it were eating it would be gluttony of the famished; if it were sex it would be a swift furtive stand-up in an alley somewhere. Margaret Atwood
