Rests Quotes (page 39)

They were so absorbed in their plotting that they did not hear Boule de Suif return. But the Comte's whispered 'shh!' made them all look up. There she was. A sudden silence fell, and at first a feeling of embarrassment prevented them from speaking to her. At last, however, the Comtesse, more of an adept than the rest in social duplicity, asked her: 'Did you enjoy the christening? Guy de Maupassant
Gore Vidal quote: "If Henry Miller often sounded like a village idiot, it is..."
If Henry Miller often sounded like a village idiot, it is because, like Whitman, he was the rest of the village as well. Gore Vidal
I cry to you, my Lord, my rock! Do not be deaf to me, for if you are silent, I shall go down to the pit like the rest. Hear my voice raised in petition as I cry to you for help, as I raise my hands, my Lord, toward your holy of holies. Nicholas Sparks
There is no resting place along the path called faithfulness. The trek is constant, and no lingering is allowed. It must not be expected that the road of life spreads itself in an unobstructed view before the person starting his journey. He must anticipate coming upon forks and turnings in the road. But he cannot hope to reach his desired journey’s end if he thinks aimlessly about whether to go east or west. He must make decisions purposefully. Thomas S. Monson
She looked around herself, disoriented, like she’d forgotten we were at lunch. Like she’d forgotten we were even at school-surprised that we were not alone in some private place. I understood that feeling exactly. It was hard to remember the rest of the world when I was with her. Stephenie Meyer
It can never be, sir; it does not sound likely. Human beings never enjoy complete happiness in this world. I was not born for a different destiny to the rest of my species: To imagine such a lot befalling me is a fairy tale - a day-dream. Charlotte Bronte
Sherman Alexie quote: "For the rest of our lives, all we can hear are our names..."
For the rest of our lives, all we can hear are our names chanted over and over, until we are deaf to everything else. Sherman Alexie
Because that’s really something I can’t stand — when people refer to themselves as crazy. The truly crazy are labeled so on the grounds that they see nothing wrong with their behavior. They forge ahead, lighting fires in public buildings and defecating in frying pans without the slightest notion that they are out of step with the rest of society. That, to me, is crazy. David Sedaris
Shit is a more onerous theological problem than is evil. Since God gave man freedom, we can, if need be, accept the idea that He is not responsible for man's crimes. The responsibility for shit, however, rests entirely with Him, the Creator of Man. Milan Kundera
Then let us not think that this Law is a special Law for the Jews; but let us understand that God intended to deliver us a general rule, to which we must yield ourselves. Since, it is so, it is to be concluded, not only that it is lawful for all kings and magistrates, to punish heretics and such as have perverted the pure truth; but also that they be bound to do it, and that they misbehave themselves towards God, if they suffer errors to rest without redress, and employ not their whole power... John Calvin
Lymond said softly, ‘That is the only thing you may not say to me. . . . Kate, superb Kate: I will not be mothered.’ ‘Mothered!’ Kate’s small, undistinguished face was black with annoyance. ‘I would sooner mother a vampire. I am merely trying to point out what your browbeaten theorists at St Mary’s ought surely to have mentioned in passing. Health is a weapon of war. Unless you obtain adequate rest, first your judgement will go, and then every other qualification you may have to command,... Dorothy Dunnett
the actress playing celia could ask why god had ever put her on earth. and then the voice from the back of the theater could rumble: "to reproduce. nothing else really interests me. all the rest is frippery. Kurt Vonnegut
Walter Benjamin quote: "Books, too, begin like the week? with a day of rest in memory..."
Books, too, begin like the week? with a day of rest in memory of their creation. The preface is their Sunday. Walter Benjamin
Mark Helprin quote: "Just the two of us. We're in it together. The pleasure will be..."
Just the two of us. We're in it together. The pleasure will be ours alone. For the rest of our lives. Mark Helprin
you fix what you can fix and you let the rest go. If there ain't nothin to be done about it it aint even a problem. It's just a aggravation. Cormac McCarthy
