These self-appointed deacons in the Church of Latter-Day American Literature seem to regard generosity (of words) with suspicion, texture with dislike, and any broad literary stroke with outright hate. The result is a strange and arid literary climate where a meaningless little fingernail paring like Nicholson BAker's Vox becomes an object of fascinated debate and disection, and a truly ambituos American novel like Matthew's Heart of the Country is all but ignored."Myth, Belief, Faity &... Stephen King
Cigarettes' cost far outweigh any resulting trimness, just as asphyxiation outweighs the benefits of stretching out the spine when you hang yourself from a shower curtain rod. A. J. Jacobs
Gluttony - that's my vice & curse. I want too much of everything. Books... Love... Music... Color & Form... Philosophy... Travel & Adventure... the result of this bestial lust is the indiscriminate and promiscuous splaying of my energies - wanting all, I accomplish nothing; desiring everything, I satisfy nothing and am satisfied by nothing. Edward Abbey
H. G. Wells quote: "Everyone seemed eager to talk at once, and the result was..."
Everyone seemed eager to talk at once, and the result was Babel. A H. G. Wells
How much misery…how much needless despair has been caused by a series of biological mismatches, a misalignment of the hormones and pheromones? Resulting in the fact that the one you love so passionately won’t or can’t love you. As a species we’re pathetic in that way: imperfectly monogamous. If only we could pair-bond for life, like gibbons, or else opt for total-guilt free promiscuity, there’d be no more sexual torment. You’d never want someone you couldn’t have’ ‘…But think what we’d be... Margaret Atwood
Andrew Carnegie quote: "TEAMWORK: the fuel that allows common people attain uncommon..."
TEAMWORK: the fuel that allows common people attain uncommon results. Andrew Carnegie
I am what I am......... both as a result of people who respected me and helped me, and of those who did not respect me and treated me badly. Nelson Mandela Anthony Sampson
No, I only think you cruel, as I said the other day. Maybe not intentionally cruel; but you seem to be forcing me into disclosures which can result in nothing; as if you would have me bare a wound for the pleasure of looking at it, without the intention or power of healing it. Kate Chopin
In the United States today, there is a pervasive tendency to treat children as adults, and adults as children. The options of children are thus steadily expanded, while those of adults are progressively constricted. The result is unruly children and childish adults. Thomas Szasz
Paramahansa Yogananda quote: "Persistence guarantees that results are inevitable."
Persistence guarantees that results are inevitable. Paramahansa Yogananda
One of the falsest of proverbs is that you must lie on the bed that you have made. The experience of life shows that people are constantly doing things which must lead to disaster, and yet by come chance manage to evade the result of their folly. W. Somerset Maugham
Historically, the most terrible things - war, genocide, and slavery - have resulted not from disobedience, but from obedience. Howard Zinn
Don DeLillo quote: "Everything that goes on in your whole life is a result of..."
Everything that goes on in your whole life is a result of molecules rushing around somewhere in your brain. Don DeLillo
John Lubbock quote: "Happiness is a condition of mind not a result of circumstances."
Happiness is a condition of mind not a result of circumstances. John Lubbock
Sorting gets harder as time goes on--it requires a sort of ruthless decisiveness, while indecision results in endless dithering. Five moves, they say, equal a fire. But those who haven't moved may begin to need a fire. [p. 38] Mary Catherine Bateson
