Really Quotes (page 272)

I think the issue of female friendship really resonates well with women, ... So many women have a friend like Darcy or can relate to the feeling of being second-fiddle to a friend. Emily Giffin
If he or she really goes about it in earnest, anyone can cultivate ability in ten years, I believe. Even in one year, shortcomings can be changed into good points if only we set our aims high enough. Continuing for ten years, we can become outstanding indeed...There is no limit to our shortcomings. Until we die, we should spare no time or effort in changing our weaknesses to merits. To do so can be pleasant and interesting. We can become like the horse that starts last and yet outruns... Shinichi Suzuki
Edith Wharton quote: "You thought I was a lovelorn mistress and I was really just an..."
You thought I was a lovelorn mistress and I was really just an expensive prostitute. Edith Wharton
But when you're in front of an audience and you make them laugh at a new idea, you're guiding the whole being for the moment. No one is ever more him/herself than when they really laugh. Their defenses are down. It's very Zen-like, that moment. They are completely open, completely themselves when that message hits the brain and the laugh begins. That's when new ideas can be implanted. If a new idea slips in at that moment, it has a chance to grow. George Carlin
The nice thing about twitter is the architecture of visibility. Email is invisible unless you reach out to someone directly. With Twitter, anyone can follow you and this is one of the big changes that was really introduced by Flickr, was this wonderful idea that you can follow somebody without their permission. Recognizing that relationships are asymmetrical, unlike facebook where we have to acknowledge each other otherwise we can’t see each other. Tim O'Reilly
Do not really like rich people, as they make us poor people feel dopey and inadequate. Not that we are poor. I would say we are middle. We are very, very lucky. I know that. But still, it is not right that rich people make us middle people feel dopey and inadequate. George Saunders
Francois de La Rochefoucauld quote: "There are few things we should keenly desire if we really knew..."
There are few things we should keenly desire if we really knew what we wanted. Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Down there - he said - are people who will follow any dragon, worship any god, ignore any inequity. All out of a kind of humdrum, everyday badness. Not the really high, creative loathsomeness of the great sinners, but a sort of mass-produced darkness of the soul. Sin, you might say, without a trace of originality. They accept evil not because they say yes, but because they don't say no. Terry Prachett
Anthony Burgess quote: "It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really..."
It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you watch them on a screen. Anthony Burgess
Today at school I will learn to read at once; then tomorrow I will begin to write, and the day after tomorrow to cipher. Then with my acquirements I will earn a great deal of money, and with the first money I have in my pocket I will immediately buy for my papa a beautiful new cloth coat. But what am I saying? Cloth, indeed! It shall be all made of gold and silver, and it shall have diamond buttons. That poor man really deserves it; for to buy me books and to have me taught he has remained in... Carlo Collodi
Suzanne Collins quote: "Either you came in here a swimmer or you'd better be a really..."
Either you came in here a swimmer or you'd better be a really fast learner Suzanne Collins
No more fear of hunger. A new kind of freedom. But what then ... what? What would my life be like on a daily basis? Most of it has been consumed with the acquisition of food. Take that away and I'm not really sure who I am, what my identity is. The idea scares me some. Suzanne Collins
Will Cuppy quote: "The stork is voiceless because there is really nothing to say."
The stork is voiceless because there is really nothing to say. Will Cuppy
You say that this society will come to an end, because societies always have done so. I wonder whether they have ended because they were not really societies at all. Idries Shah
I came to the Greeks early, and I found answers in them. Greece's great men let all their acts turn on the immortality of the soul. We don't really act as if we believed in the soul's immortality and that's why we are where we are today. Edith Hamilton
