Rich Quotes (page 26)

The luxuriously rich are not simply kept comfortably warm, but unnaturally hot; as I implied before, they are cooked, of course _ la mode_. Henry David Thoreau
To expel hunger and thirst there is no necessity of sitting in a palace and submitting to the supercilious brow and contumelious favour of the rich and great there is no necessity of sailing upon the deep or of following the camp What nature wants is every where to be found and attainable without much difficulty whereas require the sweat of the brow for these we are obliged to dress anew j compelled to grow old in the field and driven to foreign mores A sufficiency is always at hand Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Gabriel Garcia Marquez quote: "He was surprised to discover that when rich people were..."
He was surprised to discover that when rich people were starving they looked so much like the poor Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The American Indians were Communists. They were. Every anthropologist will tell you they were Communists. No rich, no poor. If somebody needed something the community chipped in. Pete Seeger
Napoleon Bonaparte quote: "Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet...."
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich. Napoleon Bonaparte
Ursula K. Le Guin quote: "How rich we are in knowledge, and in all that lies around us..."
How rich we are in knowledge, and in all that lies around us yet to learn. Billionaires, all of us. Ursula K. Le Guin
Andrew Carnegie quote: "No man becomes rich unless he enriches others."
No man becomes rich unless he enriches others. Andrew Carnegie
Henry David Thoreau quote: "I make myself rich by making my wants few."
I make myself rich by making my wants few. Henry David Thoreau
Mortal beauty often makes me ache, and mortal grandeur can fill me with that longing...but Paris, Paris drew me close to her heart, so I forgot myself entirely. Forgot the damned and questing preternatural thing that doted on mortal skin and mortal clothing. Paris overwhelmed, and lightened and rewarded more richly than any promise. Anne Rice
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "In every society, the rich are the scum of the earth."
In every society, the rich are the scum of the earth. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Society, civilized society at least, is never very ready to believe anything to the detriment of those who are both rich and fascinating. It feels instinctively that manners are of more importance than morals, and, in its opinion, the highest respectability is of much less value than the possession of a good chef. Oscar Wilde
Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes: Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell: Ding-dong Hark! now I hear them,—Ding-dong, bell. William Shakespeare
A short story is a sprint, a novel is a marathon. Sprinters have seconds to get from here to there and then they are finished. Marathoners have to carefully pace themselves so that they don't run out of energy (or in the case of the novelist-- ideas) because they have so far to run. To mix the metaphor, writing a short story is like having a short intense affair, whereas writing a novel is like a long rich marriage. Jonathan Carroll
You don't write a novel out of sheer pity any more than you blow a safe out of a vague longing to be rich. A certain ruthlessness and a sense of alienation from society is as essential to creative writing as it is to armed robbery. Nelson Algren
Neither loss of father, nor loss of mother, dear as she was to Mr Thornton, could have poisoned the remembrance of the weeks, the days, the hours, when a walk of two miles, every step of which was pleasant, as it brought him nearer and nearer to her, took him to her sweet presence - every step of which was rich, as each recurring moment that bore him away from her made him recal some fresh grace in her demeanour, or pleasant pungency in her character. Elizabeth Gaskell
