Sacking Quotes (page 3)

We give anonymously because the sackfuls of thank-you letters break our hearts with their clumsy handwriting and hopeless phonetic spelling. David Sedaris
You understood my soul, I thought, and now others are coming only to sack my heart of all its riches. What am I to do? We argued, yes, you and I, but it was with loving respect, was it not? I cannot endure without you. Please come to me, from wherever you are. Anne Rice
Love and charity share the same root word (caritas). How is that possible, when everything in our recent history suggest they cannot coexist, that they are antiethical, that if you put the two of them together in a sack they would bite and scratch and scream, until one of them is torn apart? Nick Hornby
Ernest Hemingway quote: "The sail was patched with flour sacks and, furled, it looked..."
The sail was patched with flour sacks and, furled, it looked like the flag of permanent defeat. Ernest Hemingway
The natural, proper, fitting shape of the novel might be that of a sack, a bag. A book holds words. Words hold things. They bear meanings. A novel is a medicine bundle, holding things in a particular, powerful relation to one another and to us. Ursula K. Le Guin
Remy de Gourmont quote: "A definition is a sack of flour compressed into a thimble"
A definition is a sack of flour compressed into a thimble Remy de Gourmont
The size of a challenge should never be measured by what we have to offer. It will never be enough. Furthermore, provision is God's responsibility, not ours. We are merely called to commit what we have - even if it's no more than a sack lunch. Charles R. Swindoll
Risky, thought Paul D, very risky. For a used-to-be-slave woman to love anything that much was dangerous, especially if it was her children she had settled on to love. The best thing, he knew, was to love just a little bit, so when they broke its back, or shoved it in a croaker sack, well, maybe you'd have a little love left over for the next one. Toni Morrison
A nice pickle they were all in now: all neatly tied up in sacks, with three angry trolls (and two with burns and bashes to remember) sitting by them, arguing whether they should roast them slowly, or mince them fine and boil them, or just sit on them one by one and squash them into jelly. J. R. R. Tolkien
I love the imagery of struggle. I sometimes wish I were suffering in a good cause, or risking my life for the good of others, instead of just being a gravely endangered patient. Allow me to inform you, though, that when you sit in a room with a set of other finalists, and kindly people bring a huge transparent bag of poison and plug it into your arm, and you either read or don't read a book while the venom sack gradually empties itself into your system, the image of the ardent solider is the... Christopher Hitchens
William Shakespeare quote: "Come, come, I'll go burn some sack. 'Tis too late to go to bed..."
Come, come, I'll go burn some sack. 'Tis too late to go to bed now. Come, knight. Come, knight. William Shakespeare
Jose Mourinho quote: "So I know all about the ups and downs of football, I know that..."
So I know all about the ups and downs of football, I know that one day I will be sacked. Jose Mourinho
Anyway, how can you sack anyone who still hasn't got a contract. I'll be there for the game and I'll stand behind the dugout giving instructions to the players from there. They will respond to me more than the next manager. Paul Gascoigne
Dave Freudenthal quote: "The safest course for public officials is simply to throw all..."
The safest course for public officials is simply to throw all of the money in a sack. Dave Freudenthal
I wish I hadn't lost it, and for the rest of my life I can never again lose my temper on TV. The BBC could have sacked me and that would have been the end of my career on TV. John Sweeney
