Say Quotes (page 377)

How did I get into the world? Why was I not asked about it and why was I not informed of the rules and regulations but just thrust into the ranks as if I had been bought by a peddling shanghaier of human beings? How did I get involved in this big enterprise called actuality? Why should I be involved? Isn't it a matter of choice? And if I am compelled to be involved, where is the manager—I have something to say about this. Is there no manager? To whom shall I make my complaint? Soren Kierkegaard
We would lie on coral sand, below sugary stars, watching Cassiopeia mount her throne and the Great Bear wash its paws in the South. I would say, "I have a secret to tell you." And, folding me in your arms, boyish and sly, you would answer: "Whisper it into my mouth. Diane Ackerman

You have to heal, you have to maintain relationships... That’s why we say the Our Father: ‘Deliver us from evil Peggy Noonan
I have no idea what Andrew might have done, and I do not ask. She believes that I can fix this, and like always, that's enough to make me think that I can. "I'll take care of it,: I say, when what I really mean is: I'll take care of you. Jodi Picoult
Marriage is the most licentious of human institutions--I say the most licentious of human institutions: that is the secret of its popularity. And a woman seeking a husband is the most unscrupulous of all the beasts of prey. The confusion of marriage with morality has done more to destroy the conscience of the human race than any other single error. George Bernard Shaw
Eric Idle quote: "Know what I mean? Eh, eh, Nudge nudge, Say no more?"

Fire and water," he said, "don't really mix. You could say they're incompatible. But when they do love each other, they love passionately. Cornelia Funke
I must say it's pretty dreary living in the American Age - unless you're an American of course. Perhaps all our children will be Americans. John Osborne
you see what I'm saying?" Mooner said. "Something else always comes along. You go to jail, you don't have to worry about anything. No rent to pay. No food bill to sweat. Free dental plan. And that's worth something, dude. You don't wnat to stick your nose up at free dental. Janet Evanovich
A way of life that keeps saying 'Around the next corner, above the next step,' works against the natural order of things and makes it so difficult to be happy and good. Benjamin Hoff
Ripred sighed. 'I suppose so. You and I seem to end up doing everything. Shall we say four members for each delegation?' 'Why not?' Luxa said. 'Four can be as stupid as ten. No need to crowd the room.' Ripred laughed. 'You know, I think you an I are going to get on famously. Suzanne Collins
Great minds have always seen it. That is why man has survived his journey this long. When we fail to wish any longer to be otherwise than what we are, we will have ceased to evolve. Evolution has to be lived forward. I say this as one who has stood above the bones of much that has vanished, and at midnight has examined his own face. Loren Eiseley

Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "Memory says, 'I did that.' Pride replies, 'I could not have..."
Memory says, 'I did that.' Pride replies, 'I could not have done that.' Eventually, memory yields. Friedrich Nietzsche

I often warn people: "Somewhere along the way, someone is going to tell you, 'There is no "I" in team.' What you should tell them is, 'Maybe not.

If they say, "We're the So-and-Sos," take a walk. And if, somehow, you must join, if it's... George Carlin
