Saying Quotes (page 305)

He cried that night for all that he had lost, but he would say it taught him a valuable lesson: that holding on to things "will only break your heart. Mitch Albom
And I’d say to myself as I looked so lazily down at the sea: “There’s nobody else in the world, and the world was made for me. A. A. Milne
A disciple came to the celebrated Master of the Good Name with a question. “Rabbi, how are we to distinguish between a true master and a fake?” And the master of the good name said, “When you meet a person who poses as a master, ask him a question: whether he knows how to purify your thoughts. If he says that he knows, then he is a fake. Elie Wiesel
When I finally let someone into my narrow bed, the first thing I told her was what I could not do. I said, "I can't fix it, girl. I can't fix anything. If you don't as me to fix it, you can ask anything else. If you can say what you need, I'll try to give it to you. Dorothy Allison
T know what they say about secrets. I've heard it all. That they can haunt and govern you. That they can poison relationships and divide families. That in the end, only the truth will set you free. Emily Giffin
J. K. Rowling quote: "There was a lot more to magic, as Harry quickly found out,..."
There was a lot more to magic, as Harry quickly found out, than waving your wand and saying a few funny words. J. K. Rowling
What I have lately said of painting is equally true with respect to poetry. It is only necessary for us to know what is really excellent, and venture to give it expression; and that is saying much in few words. To-day I have had a scene, which, if literally related, would, make the most beautiful idyl in the world. But why should I talk of poetry and scenes and idyls? Can we never take pleasure in nature without having recourse to art? Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Oh" she says "the inconceivable sorrow of it, those chairs piled up at night when you're sitting in a caf. The last one left". Muriel Spark
You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Jane Austen
The higher that the monkey can climb, the more he shows his tail. Call no man happy till he dies, there's no milk at the bottom of the pail. God builds a church and the devil builds a chapel, like the thistles that are growing 'round the trunk of a tree. All the good in the world you could put inside a thimble, and still have room for you and me. If there's one thing you can say about mankind, there's nothing kind about man. You can drive out nature with a pitchfork, but it always coming... Tom Waits
Ernest Hemingway quote: "The author must write what he has to say, not speak it."
The author must write what he has to say, not speak it. Ernest Hemingway
You know what my mother said to me when she came to say goodbye, as if to cheer me up, she said maybe District 12 will finally have a winner. Then I realized she didn't mean me, she meant you."-Peeta Mellark in The Hunger Games Suzanne Collins
Charlotte Perkins Gilman quote: "(I would not say it to a living soul, of course, but this is..."
(I would not say it to a living soul, of course, but this is dead paper and a great relief to my mind Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I think every work of art is an act of faith, or we wouldn't bother to do it. It is a message in a bottle, a shout in the dark. It's saying, 'I'm here and I believe that you are somewhere and that you will answer if necessary across time, not necessarily in my lifetime. Jeanette Winterson
Listen--God only exists in people's minds. Especially in Japan, God's always been kind of a flexible concept. Look at what happened after the war. Douglas MacArthur ordered the divine emperor to quit being God, and he did, making a speech saying he was just an ordinary person. So after 1946 he wasn't God anymore. That's what Japanese gods are like--they can be tweaked and adjusted. Some American comping on a cheap pipe gives the order and presto change-o--God's no longer God. A very... Haruki Murakami
