Rather Quotes (page 78)

Without a clear perception of his reasons for living, man will never consent to live, and will rather destroy himself than tarry on earth, though he be surrounded with bread". Fyodor Dostoevsky
People cain't help being what they are any more than a skunk can help being a skunk. Don't you think if they had their choice they would rather be something else? Sure they would. People are just weak. Fannie Flagg
It's only now that I realize that behaviour always has a context and precedents, it's what you do rather than what you are, although we often never recognise that context or understand what these precedents are. Irvine Welsh
Edward Gorey quote: "I tend to be rather inconsequential and trail off."
I tend to be rather inconsequential and trail off. Edward Gorey
The biggest diease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted, uncared for, and deserted by everybody. Mother Teresa
He wishes he had never entered the funhouse. But he has. Then he wishes he were dead. But he's not. Therefore he will construct funhouses for others and be their secret operator -- though he would rather be among the lovers for whom funhouses are designed. John Barth
The most important aspect of love is not in giving or the receiving: it's in the being. When I need love from others, or need to give love to others, I'm caught in an unstable situation. Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Being in love means seeing the Beloved all around me. Ram Dass
Michel de Montaigne quote: "I had rather complain of ill-fortune than be ashamed of victory."
I had rather complain of ill-fortune than be ashamed of victory. Michel de Montaigne
He saw you cast into a river of life you didn't request. He saw you betrayed by those you love. He saw you with a body that gets sick and a heart that grows weak. He saw you in your own garden of gnarled trees and sleeping friends. He saw you staring into the pit of your own failures and the mouth of your own grave. He saw you in your own garden of Gethsemane and he didn't want you to be alone ... He would rather go to hell for you than to heaven without you. Max Lucado
Simone de Beauvoir quote: "She was ready to deny the existence of space and time rather..."
She was ready to deny the existence of space and time rather than admit that love might not be eternal. Simone de Beauvoir
A benevolent malefactor, merciful, gentle, helpful, clement, a convict, returning good for evil, giving back pardon for hatred, preferring pity to vengeance, preferring to ruin himself rather than to ruin his enemy, saving him who had smitten him, kneeling on the heights of virtue, more nearly akin to an angel than to a man. Javert was constrained to admit to himself that this monster existed. Things could not go on in this manner. Victor Hugo
Miguel de Unamuno quote: "We should try to be the parents of our future rather than the..."
We should try to be the parents of our future rather than the offspring of our past. Miguel de Unamuno
Sue Monk Kidd quote: "I can't think of anything I'd rather have more than somebody..."
I can't think of anything I'd rather have more than somebody lovin' me. Sue Monk Kidd
In one word, Queequeg, said I, rather digressively; hell is an idea first born on an undigested apple-dumpling; and since then perpetuated through the hereditary dyspepsias nurtured by Ramadans. Herman Melville
Memories are killing. So you must not think of certain things, of those that are dear to you, or rather you must think of them, for if you don’t there is the danger of finding them, in your mind, little by little. Samuel Beckett
