Seemingly Quotes (page 134)

Charles Bukowski quote: "It seemed better to delay thinking."
It seemed better to delay thinking. Charles Bukowski
The woods do that to you, they always look familiar, long lost, like the face of a long-dead relative, like an old dream, like a piece of forgotten song drifting across the water, most of all like golden eternities of past childhood or past manhood and all the living and the dying and the heartbreak that went on a million years ago and the clouds as they pass overhead seem to testify by their own lonesome familiarities to this feeling. Ecstasy, even , I felt, with flashes of sudden... Jack Kerouac
Wilkie Collins quote: "The small pulse of the life within me and the great heart of..."
The small pulse of the life within me and the great heart of th city around me seemed to be sinking in unison. Wilkie Collins
But if anything will turn me off, it's a very practiced approach, as if the man has done it a thousand times before, to a lot of different women. Which always seems to imply that I am no different from all the rest. Not flattering. Laurell K. Hamilton
Richard Dawkins quote: "The book is true, and if evidence seems to condtradict it, it..."
The book is true, and if evidence seems to condtradict it, it is the evidence that must be thrown out not the book. Richard Dawkins
Roland Barthes quote: "Incoherence seems to me preferable to a distorting order."
Incoherence seems to me preferable to a distorting order. Roland Barthes
I have also learnt sympathy with suffering. To me, suffering seems now a sacramental thing, that makes those whom it touches holy. Oscar Wilde
I have never understood the importance of having children memorize battle dates. It seems like such a waste of mental energy. Instead, we could teach them important subjects such as How the Mind Works, How to Handle Finances, How to Invest Money for Financial Security, How to be a Parent, How to Create Good Relationships, and How to Create and Maintain Self-Esteem and Self-Worth. Can you imagine what a whole generation of adults would be like if they had been taught these subjects in... Louise L. Hay
When I was young I asked more of people than they could give: everlasting friendship, endless feeling. Now I know to ask less of them than they can give: a straightforward companionship. And their feelings, their friendship, their generous actions seem in my eyes to be wholly miraculous: a consequence of grace alone. Albert Camus
I have changed my mind on a number of things, including almost everything having to do with Cuba, but the idea that we should be grateful for having been spared, and should shower our gratitude upon the supposed Galahad of Camelot for his gracious lenience in opting not to commit genocide and suicide, seemed a bit creepy. When Kennedy was shot the following year, I knew myself somewhat apart from this supposedly generational trauma in that I felt no particular sense of loss at the passing of... Christopher Hitchens
Debt, grinding debt, whose iron face the widow, the orphan, and the sons of genius fear and hate;--debt, which consumes so much time, which so cripples and disheartens a great spirit with cares that seem so base, is a preceptor whose lessons cannot be forgone, and is needed most by those who suffer from it most. Ralph Waldo Emerson
If I'm a guy who doesn't seem so merry, It's just because I'm so misunderstood. When I was young I ate a dictionary, And that did not do me a bit of good. For I've absorbed so many words and phrases— They drive me dizzy when I want to speak. I start explaining but each person gazes As if I spoke in Latin or in Greek. Ira Gershwin
she got a reputation for an easy smile and a sharp tongue, and using one to balance the other, she seemed friendly but distant Dorothy Allison
it seemed to him as if he were beholding in a magic panorama a future where he himself was sliding into that pleasureless yielding to the small solicitations of circumstance, which is a commoner history of perdition than any single momentous bargain. George Eliot
