Rather Quotes (page 77)

It was really dreadful to be so different from other people…and yet rather wonderful, too, as if you were a being strayed from another star. L. M. Montgomery
Margaret Drabble quote: "I'd rather be at the end of a dying tradition, which I admire,..."
I'd rather be at the end of a dying tradition, which I admire, than at the beginning of a tradition which I deplore. Margaret Drabble
Maya Angelou observed you cant use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have. Sadly, too often creativity is smothered rather than nurtured. There has to be climate in which new ways of thinking, perceiving, questioning are encouraged. John C. Maxwell
For the kingdom is not being prepared, but has been prepared, while the sons of the Kingdom are being prepared, not preparing the Kingdom; that is to say, the Kingdom merits the sons, not the songs the Kingdom. So all hell merits and prepares its children rather than they it. Martin Luther
Oh for shame, how the mortals put the blame on us gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given... Homer
I think it was the beginning of Mrs. Bond's unquestioning faith in me when she saw me quickly enveloping the cat till all you could see of him was a small black and white head protruding from an immovable cocoon of cloth. He and i were now facing each other, more or less eyeball to eyeball, and George couldn't do a thing about it.

I don't know which is worse - to have somebody you DON'T like ask you to marry him or NOT have some one you DO like. Both are rather unpleasant. L. M. Montgomery
Dorothy Dunnett quote: "Philippa, enviously, wished she could do the same, and then..."
Philippa, enviously, wished she could do the same, and then decided she would rather be interesting and sensitive. Dorothy Dunnett
I sometimes think my style is suggestive rather than direct. The reader must often use his imagination or lose the most subtle part of my thought. Ernest Hemingway
Well; I would rather die yonder than in a street, or on a frequented road, ' I reflected. 'And far better that crows and ravens -if any ravens there be in these regions- should pick my flesh from my bones, than that they should be prisoned in a work-house coffin, and moulder in a pauper's grave. Charlotte Bronte
No matter how long we exist, we have our memories. Points in time which time itself cannot erase. Suffering may distort my backward glances, but even to suffering, some memories will yield nothing of their beauty or their splendor. Rather they remain as hard as gems. Anne Rice
In Maurice I tried to create a character who was completely unlike myself or what I supposed myself to be: someone handsome, healthy, bodily attractive, mentally torpid, not a bad business man and rather a snob. Into this mixture I dropped an ingredient that puzzles him, wakes him up, torments him and finally saves him. E. M. Forster
Paul Klee quote: "After all, it's rather difficult to achieve the exact minimum,..."
After all, it's rather difficult to achieve the exact minimum, and it involves risks. Paul Klee
Jellicle Cats are black and white. Jellicle Cats are rather small. Jellicle Cats are merry and bright. And pleasant to hear when they caterwaul. Jellicle Cats have cheerful faces, Jellicle Cats have bright black eyes; They like to practise their airs and graces. And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise. T. S. Eliot
I again felt rather like an individual of but average gastronomical powers, sitting down to feast alone at a table spread with provisions for a hundred. Charlotte Bronte
