Real Quotes (page 150)

Never having been in love, this is going to be a real trick. I think of my parents. The way my father never failed to bring her gifts from the woods. The way my mother's face would light up at the sound of his boots at the door. The way she almost stopped living when he died. Suzanne Collins
It was known that they were a little acquainted, but not a syllable of real information could Emma procure as to what he truly was. “Was he handsome?” “She believed he was reckoned a very fine young man.” “Was he agreeable?” “He was generally thought so.” “Did he appear a sensible young man; a young man of information?” “At a watering-place or in a common London acquaintance it was difficult to decide on such points. Manners were all that could be safely judged of under a much longer... Jane Austen
Malcolm Gladwell quote: "We learn by example and by direct experience because there are..."
We learn by example and by direct experience because there are real limits to the adequacy of verbal instruction. Malcolm Gladwell
People who go to work every day, make sacrifices to raise families, and get through life without hurting other people if they can help it-those are the real heros. Dean Koontz
Joan Didion quote: "I closed the box and put it in a closet. There is no real way..."
I closed the box and put it in a closet. There is no real way to deal with everything we lose. Joan Didion
Black Stache had no love for the Queen, no love for women of any sort, except for his ma. He had a real soft spot for his ma, and was truly sorry for the time he’d marooned her. Dave Barry
It is only that my illusion is more real to me than reality. And so do we often build our world on an error, and cry out that the universe is falling to pieces, if any one but lift a finger to replace the error by truth. Mary Antin
Jodi Picoult quote: "Rest easy, real mothers. The very fact that you worry about..."
Rest easy, real mothers. The very fact that you worry about being a good mom means that you already are one. Jodi Picoult
The true value of man is not determined by his possession, supposed or real, of Truth, but rather by his sincere exertion to get to the Truth. It is not possession of Truth by which he extends his powers and in which his ever-growing perfectability is to be found. Possession makes one passive, indolent and proud. If God were to hold all Truth concealed in his right hand, and in his left only the steady and diligent drive for Truth, albeit with the proviso that I would always and forever err... Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
As we grow older and realize more clearly the limitations of human happiness, we come to see that the only real and abiding pleasure in life is to give pleasure to other people. P. G. Wodehouse
Maybe. Anyway, some men get what they want. No man. Or perhaps only briefly so as to lose it. Or perhaps only to prove to the dreamer that the world of his longing made real is no longer that world at all. Cormac McCarthy
Marlon Brando quote: "Do you spend time with your family? Good. Because a man that..."
Do you spend time with your family? Good. Because a man that doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man. Marlon Brando
It was at this point that Bilbo stopped. Going on from there was the bravest thing he ever did. The tremendous things that happened afterward were as nothing compared to it. He fought the real battle in the tunnel alone, before he ever saw the vast danger that lay in wait. J. R. R. Tolkien

The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. it's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere. Barack Obama
The man watched him. Real life is pretty bad? What do you think? Well, I think we're still here. A lot of bad things have happened but we're still here. Yeah. You don't think that's so great. It's okay. Cormac McCarthy
