Really Quotes (page 281)

Exploration of space is worth it because humans need to explore. Knowledge is always good, and it's a really cool thing to see. Penn Jillette
...write your own part. It is the only way I've gotten anywhere. It is much harder work, but sometimes you have to take destiny into your own hands. It forces you to think about what your strengths really are, and once you find them, you can showcase them, and no one can stop you. Mindy Kaling
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "We're a generation of men raised by women. I'm wondering if..."
We're a generation of men raised by women. I'm wondering if another woman is really the answer we need. Chuck Palahniuk
Nora Roberts quote: "It was amazing, really, just how much pain the human heart..."
It was amazing, really, just how much pain the human heart could hold. Nora Roberts
Is it really true that political self-interest is nobler somehow than economic self-interest? . . . And just tell me where in the world you find these angels who are going to organize society for us. Milton Friedman
A person or an act is never entirely Sansara or entirely Nirvana, a person is never entirely holy or entirely sinful. It does really seem like this, because we are subject to deception, as if time was something real. Time is not real. Herman Hesse
C. S. Lewis quote: "Little from you is really a bit too much"
Little from you is really a bit too much C. S. Lewis
Autopsychography. The poet is a man who feigns. And feigns so thoroughly, at last. He manages to feign as pain. The pain he really feels, And those who read what once he wrote. Feel clearly, in the pain they read, Neither of the pains he felt, Only a pain they cannot sense. And thus, around its jolting track. There runs, to keep our reason busy, The circling clockwork train of ours. That men agree to call a heart. Fernando Pessoa
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
Dogs are here to remind us life really is a simple thing. You eat, sleep, take walks, and pee when you must. That's about all there is. They are quick to forgive trespasses and assume strangers will be kind. Jonathan Carroll
a large contingent of people majoring in English by default. Because they weren't left-brained enough for science, because history was too dry, philosophy too difficult, geology too petroleum-oriented, and math too mathematical--because they weren't musical, artistic, financially motivated, or really all that smart, these people were pursuing university degrees doing something no different from what they'd done in first grade: reading stories. English was what people who didn't know what to... Jeffrey Eugenides
Do you ever get moods when life seems absolutely meaningless? It's like a badly-constructed story, with all sorts of characters moving in and out who have nothing to do with the plot. And when somebody comes along that you think really has something to do with the plot, he suddenly drops out. After a while you begin to wonder what the story is about, and you feel that it's about nothing—just a jumble. P. G. Wodehouse
Sue Monk Kidd quote: "I felt half the time I was impersonating a girl instead of..."
I felt half the time I was impersonating a girl instead of really being one. Sue Monk Kidd
She was a sweet girl but not really pretty, a rough sketch of a woman with a little of everything in her, one of those silhouettes which artists draw in three strokes on the tablecloth in a caf after dinner, between a glass of brandy and a cigarette. Nature sometimes turns out creatures like that. Guy de Maupassant
When one's married for so long, always walking on four feet and alwaysbreathing double breaths and thinking every thought twice through andthe time between the main things is packed double full with minordetails - then, sometimes, naturally, one yearns like an arrow for onewhole space thin as air. And you start up in the night, terrified byyour own breathing, which had just been going along as evenly withoutyou. But you don't rise up free - or even really as far as your knees- not once. You... Robert Musil
