Emiliano Zapata quote: "I would rather die standing than live on my knees"
I would rather die standing than live on my knees Emiliano Zapata
What's not to love' is hardly a reason TO love. And the CATCH of your life is not the same thing as the LOVE of your life. Be careful on that subtle but rather crucial distinction. Emily Giffin
Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly. Only if you do that can you hope to make the reader feel every particle of what you, the writer, have known and feel compelled to share."---Forward to Kafka's Short stories Anne Rice
No matter where and when you meet him you feel that he has come from some place-no matter from what place he has come-some country that he has devoured rather than resided in, some secret land that he has been nourished on but cannot inherit, for the Jew seems to be everythere from nowhere. Djuna Barnes
Alone had always felt like an actual place to me, as if it weren't a state of being, but rather a room where I could retreat to be who I really was. Cheryl Strayed
Visions of such things would get you talking of demons, which Quinlan had done briefly. The police ignored him, and I didn't back up his story. Quinlan had never met a real demon, or he wouldn't have made the mistake. Once you've been in the presence of demons, you never forget it. I'd rather fight a dozen vampires than one demonic presence. They don't give a shit about silver bullets. Laurell K. Hamilton
I'd rather argue with you, angel, than laugh with anyone else."Jesus. It took me a minute to be able to swallow the last bite in my mouth. "You know . . . I love you madly."He smiled. "Yes, I know. Sylvia Day

I would rather be wrong, by God, with Plato than be correct with those men. Marcus Tullius Cicero
So she sat down to morning tea, like any other old lady with a high nose, thin cheeks, a ring on her finger and the usual trappings of rather shabby but gallant old age... Virginia Woolf
Sometimes our connection is frayed, it is in danger, it seems almost lost. Views and streets deny knowledge of us, the air grows thin. Wouldn't we rather have a destiny to submit to, than, something that claims us, anything, instead of such flimsy choices, arbitrary days? Alice Munro
Dragon kind was no less cruel than mankind. The Dragon, at least, acted from bestial need rather than bestial greed.” ~ A thought by Lessa ~ Anne McCaffrey
You know, my boy, he said, it's impossible to love men such as they are. And yet we must. So try to do good to men by doing violence to your feelings, holding your nose, and shutting your eyes, especially shutting your eyes. Endure their villainy without anger, as much as possible; try to remember that you're a man too. For, if you're even a little above average intelligence, you'll have the propensity to judge people severely. Men are vile by nature and they'd rather love out of fear. ... Fyodor Dostoevsky
Alfred Hitchcock quote: "I can't read fiction without visualizing every scene. The..."
I can't read fiction without visualizing every scene. The result is it becomes a series of pictures rather than a book. Alfred Hitchcock
Knowledge is power." Rather, knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge - broad, deep knowledge - is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low. To know the thoughts and deeds that have marked man's progress is to feel the great heart-throbs of humanity through the centuries; and if one does not feel in these pulsations a heavenward striving, one must indeed be deaf to the harmonies of life. Helen Keller
Charlotte Bronte quote: "And with that answer, he left me. I would much rather he had..."
And with that answer, he left me. I would much rather he had knocked me down. Charlotte Bronte
