Reason Why Quotes (page 4)

There is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil. The triumph of anything is a matter of organization. If there are such things as angels, I hope that they are organized along the lines of the Mafia. Kurt Vonnegut
Bram Stoker quote: "There is a reason why all things are as they are."
There is a reason why all things are as they are. Bram Stoker
Religion is still useful among the herd - that it helps their orderly conduct as nothing else could. The crude human animal is in-eradicably superstitious, and there is every biological reason why they should be. Take away his Christian god and saints, and he will worship something else... H. P. Lovecraft
Jason Mraz quote: "Oh my, justifying reasons why Is an absolutely insane..."
Oh my, justifying reasons why Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by((Live High)) Jason Mraz
Ivy Compton-Burnett quote: "People do not like to lose their lives. That is the reason why..."
People do not like to lose their lives. That is the reason why they should not take other people's. Ivy Compton-Burnett
The real reason why I should not like to be in the book trade for life is that while I was in it I lost my love of books. A bookseller has to tell lies about books, and that gives him a distaste for them. George Orwell
I'll get angry in the same way with the coachman Ivan, argue in the same way, speak my mind inappropriately, there will be the same wall between my soul's holy of holies and other people, even my wife, I'll accuse her in the same way of my own fear and then regret it, I'll fail in the same way to understand with my reason why I pray, and yet I will pray--but my life now, my whole life, regardless of all that may happen to me, every minute of it, is not only not meaningless, as it was before,... Leo Tolstoy
I looked at Spangler. He was leaning forward so far he was almost out of his chair. He looked as if he was going to jump. I couldn't think of any reason why he should jump, so I thought he must be excited. I looked back at Breeze. He was about as excited as a hole in the wall. Raymond Chandler
The mind wants to live forever, or to learn a very good reason why not. The mind wants the world to return its love, or its awareness... The mind's sidekick, however, will settle for two eggs over easy. The dear, stupid body is easily satisfied as a spaniel. And, incredibly, the simple spaniel can lure the brawling mind to its dish. It is everlastingly funny that the proud, metaphysically ambitious mind will hush if you give it an egg. Annie Dillard
Ezra Pound quote: "There is no reason why the same man should like the same books..."
There is no reason why the same man should like the same books at eighteen and at forty-eight Ezra Pound
The reason why the continental European is, to the Englishman or American, so surprisingly ignorant of the Bible, is that the authorized English version is a great work of literary art, and the continental versions are comparatively artless. George Bernard Shaw
Paulo Coelho quote: "The reason why people fail to achieve their dreams is because..."
The reason why people fail to achieve their dreams is because they stop pursuing them. Paulo Coelho
Big Brother in the form of an increasingly powerful government and in an increasingly powerful private sector will pile the records high with reasons why privacy should give way to national security, to law and order [...] and the like. William O. Douglas
The reason why I consider myself a clever man is simply because I could never in my life finish anything I'd started. All right, I am a talker, a harmless, boring talker as we all are. But what can I do if the direct and sole purpose of every intelligent man is to talk, that is to say, to waste his time deliberately? Fyodor Dostoevsky
In fact, the likeliest reason why so many of us care so little about politics is that modern politicians makes us sad, hurt us deep down in ways that are hard even to name, much less talk about. David Foster Wallace
