Reasons Quotes (page 109)

The drama bug strikes hardest with Jews, homosexuals and plump women who wear their hair in bangs. These are people who, for one reason or another, desperately crave attention David Sedaris
Tell me something, old friend: why are you fighting?"What other reason could there be?" Colonel Gerineldo Marquez answered. "For the great Liberal party."You're lucky because you know why," he answered. "As far as I'm concerned, I've come to realize only just now that I'm fighting because of pride."That's bad," Colonel Gerineldo Marquez said. Colonel Aureliano Buendia was amused at his alarm. "Naturally," he said. "But in any case, it's better than not knowing why you're fighting." He looked... Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Everything is exactly as it is for a reason. The crumb on your table isno mystical reminder of this morning's cookie, it is there because you have chosen not to remove it. No exceptions. Richard Bach
The chief reason warfare is still with us is neither a secret death-wish of the human species, nor an irrepressible instinct of aggression, nor, finally and more plausibly, the serious economic and social dangers inherent in disarmament, but the simple fact that no substitute for this final arbiter in international affairs has yet appeared on the political scene. Hannah Arendt
Voltaire quote: "Once the people begin to reason, all is lost."
Once the people begin to reason, all is lost. Voltaire
Mark Twain quote: "You can't reason with your heart; it has its own laws, and..."
You can't reason with your heart; it has its own laws, and thumps about things which the intellect scorns. Mark Twain
Instead of things I'm good at, it might be faster to list the things I can't do. I can't cook or clean the house. My room's a mess, and I'm always losing things. I love music, but I can't sing a note. I'm clumsy and can barely sew a stitch. My sense of direction is the pits, and I can't tell left from right half the time. When I get angry, I tend to break things. Plates and pencils, alarm clocks. Later on I regret it, but at the time I can't help myself. I have no money in the bank. I'm... Haruki Murakami
I think the real reason so many youngsters are clamoring for freedom of some vague sort, is because of unrest and dissatisfaction with present conditions; I don't believe this machine age gives full satisfaction in a spiritual way, if the term may be allowed. Robert E. Howard
the salient feature of the absurd age I was at--an age which for all its alleged awkwardness, is prodigiously rich-- is that reason is not its guide, and the most insignificant attributes of other people always appear to be consubstantial with their personality. One lives among monsters and gods, a stranger to peace of mind. There is scarcely a single one of our acts from that time which we would not prefer to abolish later on. But all we should lament is the loss of the spontaneity that... Marcel Proust
To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture. Thomas Paine
J. K. Rowling quote: "Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?"...I think the..."
Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?"...I think the answer is that a circle has no beginning."Well reasoned. J. K. Rowling
Anthony Burgess quote: "In a story you had to find a reason, but real life gets on..."
In a story you had to find a reason, but real life gets on very well without even Freudian motivations. Anthony Burgess
As reason returned to me, memory came with it, and I saw that even on the worst days, when I thought I was utterly and completely miserable, I was nevertheless, and nearly all the time, extremely happy. That gave me something to think about. The discovery was not a pleasant one. It seemed to me that I was losing a great deal. I asked myself, wasn't I sad, hadn't I felt my life breaking up? Yes, that had been true; but each minute, when I stayed without moving in a corner of the room, the cool... Maurice Blanchot
I hope for some sort of peace—but I fear that machines are ahead of morals by some centuries and when morals catch up there'll be no reason for any of it. Harry S. Truman
Lily Tomlin quote: "We have reason to believe that man first walked upright to..."
We have reason to believe that man first walked upright to free his hands for masturbation. Lily Tomlin
