Rest Quotes (page 42)

Rather I think that a man who ... is willing ... to value learning as long as he lives, not supposing that old age brings him wisdom of itself, will necessarily pay more attention to the rest of his life. Plato
When I wake, I have a brief, delicious feeling of happiness that is somehow connected with Peeta. Happiness, of course, is a complete absurdity at this point, since at the rate things are going, I'll be dead in a day. And that's the best-case scenario, if I'm able to eliminate the rest of the field, including myself, and get Peeta crowned as the winner of the Quarter Quell. Still, the sensation's so unexpected and sweet I cling to it, if only for a few moments. Before the gritty sand, the hot... Suzanne Collins
As soon as I put my uniform on, the rest of my life solidified around me like a plaster cast. From that moment on, my friends were anyone who could put up with the disgrace; my occupation, any job from which I was not given the sack; my playground, any cafe or restaurant from which I was not barred or any street corner from which the police did not move me on. Quentin Crisp
C. S. Lewis quote: "Once the feet are put right, all the rest of him will follow."
Once the feet are put right, all the rest of him will follow. C. S. Lewis
Alice Hoffman quote: "History is personal, Gwen understands that now. All you are..."
History is personal, Gwen understands that now. All you are seeing is what's before you, the rest is guesswork. Alice Hoffman
Charles Dickens quote: "[John Jarndyce] rubbed his head so constantly that not a..."
[John Jarndyce] rubbed his head so constantly that not a single hair upon it ever rested in its right place Charles Dickens
Forth from the war emerging, a book I have made, the words of my book nothing, the drift of it everything, a book separate, not link'd with the rest nor felt by the intellect, but you ye untold latencies will thrill to every page. Walt Whitman
Linus Torvalds quote: "Only wimps use tape backup. REAL men just upload their..."
Only wimps use tape backup. REAL men just upload their important stuff on ftp and let the rest of the world mirror it. Linus Torvalds
In the morning he would not have needed sleep, for all the warm odors and sights of a complete country night would have rested and slept him while his eyes were wide and his mouth, when he thought to test it, was half a smile. Ray Bradbury
The logic of worldly success rests on a fallacy: the strange error that our perfection depends on the thoughts and opinions and applause of other men!" Thomas Merton Thomas Merton
Time passes slowly. Nobody says a word, everyone lost in quiet reading. One person sits at a desk jotting down notes, but the rest are sitting there silently, not moving, totally absorbed. Just like me. Haruki Murakami
Every child is affected thus the first time he is treated unfairly . All he thinks he has a right to when he comes to you to be yours is fairness. After you have been unfair to him he will love you again, but will never afterwards be the same boy. No one ever gets over the first unfairness; no one except Peter. He often met it, but he always forgot it. I suppose that was the real difference between him and all the rest. J. M. Barrie
And then Serafina understood something for which the witches had no word: it was the idea of pilgrimage. She understood why these beings would wait for thousands of years and travel vast distances in order to be close to something important, and how they would feel differently for the rest of time, having been briefly in its presence. That was how these creatures looked now, these beautiful pilgrims of rarefied light, standing around the girl with the dirty-face and the tartan skirt and the... Philip Pullman
Yet this distance, all those abysses unbridged and then unbridgeable by radio, television, cheap travel and the rest, was not wholly bad. People knew less of each other, perhaps, but they felt more free of each other, and so were more individual. The entire world was not for them only a push or a switch away. Strangers were strange, and sometimes with an exciting, beautiful strangeness. It may be better for humanity that we should communicate more and more. But I am a heretic, I think... John Fowles
Thomas Hardy quote: "Good, better, best. Never let it rest, Till ur good is..."
Good, better, best. Never let it rest, Till ur good is better. And better is best. Thomas Hardy
