Reminder Quotes (page 18)

His question reminded me of how easy he had been to deceive, so easy that he seemed to me almost a conniver at his wife's unfaithfulness, as the man who leaves loose banknotes in a hotel bedroom connives at theft, and I hated him for the very quality which had once helped my love. Graham Greene
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
He understood it to be another deep nudge from forces unseen, almost surely connected with the letter that had come along with his latest mental-disability check, reminding him that unless he did something publicly crazy before a date now less than a week away, he would no longer qualify for benefits. Thomas Pynchon
The only really frightening thing about Cinnamon Hill belongs in the realm of the living and serves to remind me that some of them-just a few of them, a tiny minority-are much more dangerous than all the dead put together. Johnny Cash
E. B. White quote: "I am reminded of the advice of my neighbor. "Never worry about..."
I am reminded of the advice of my neighbor. "Never worry about your heart till it stops beating. E. B. White
Heinrich Heine quote: "The music at a wedding procession always reminds me of the..."
The music at a wedding procession always reminds me of the music of soldiers going into battle. Heinrich Heine
We continue to need exhortations to be sympathetic and just, even if we do not believe that there is a God who has a hand in wishing to make us so. We no longer have to be brought into line by the threat of hell or the promise of paradise; we merely have to be reminded that it is we ourselves -- that is, the most mature and reasonable parts of us (seldom present in the midst of our crises and obsessions) -- who want to lead the sort of life which we once imagined supernatural beings demanded... Alain de Botton
Steven Brust quote: "Q: The Witness is reminded that she may be held in contempt...."
Q: The Witness is reminded that she may be held in contempt. A: The feeling is mutual. Steven Brust
All music is what awakes within uswhen we are reminded by the instruments; It is not the violins or the clarinets -It is not the beating of the drums -Nor the score of the baritone singinghis sweet romanza; not that of the men's chorus, Nor that of the women's chorus -It is nearer and farther than they Walt Whitman
I can almost hear Haymitch groaning as I team up with this wispy child. But I want her. Because she's a survivor, and I trust her, and why not admit it? She reminds me of Prim. Suzanne Collins
You know we poor artists have to show ourselves in society from time to time, just to remind the public that we are not savages. Oscar Wilde
And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is gift and a privilege, not a right. We must earn life once it has been awarded us. Life asks for rewards back because it has favored us with animation. So while our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all. Ray Bradbury
It reminded me of that tongue-in-cheek quick history of art I'd overheard...Used to be people couldn't draw very well, then they could, and now they can't again. Charles de Lint
I suppose it's possible that the Sundance Kid didn't like to make much of his birthdays — they may have struck him as just another reminder that his draw was getting slower by the year—but what if he truly liked a major celebration? What if he looked forward every year to marking the day of his birth with what they used to call in the West 'a real wingding, with pink balloons and a few survivors'? Calvin Trillin
So time doesn't count, and place does?' I said this to tease her. When I was a man, I liked teasing her and she went along with it, consenting, for it reminded us both of a sadness that had passed. John Berger
