Seemingly Quotes (page 210)

Anne Frank quote: "It seems to me that, later on, neither I nor anyone else will..."
It seems to me that, later on, neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the chatterings of a 13-year-old schoolgir? Anne Frank
What we see as death, empty space, or nothingness is only the trough between the crests of this endlessly waving ocean. It is all part of the illusion that there should seem to be something to be gained in the future, and that there is an urgent necessity to go on and on until we get it. Yet just as there is no time but the present, and no one except the all-and-everything, there is never anything to be gained—though the zest of the game is to pretend that there is. Alan Watts
Haruki Murakami quote: "When it's all over, it'll seem like a dream."
When it's all over, it'll seem like a dream. Haruki Murakami
T. H. White quote: "But it seems, in tragedy, that innocence is not enough."
But it seems, in tragedy, that innocence is not enough. T. H. White
If you are not a lady, then you are a whore. You do not want to know what would happen to a human whore within these walls." He seemed tired as he said it, as if he'd been there, done that, and hadn't had a good time. Laurell K. Hamilton
A man is never such an egotist as at moments of spiritual ecstasy. At such times it seems to him that there is nothing on earth more splendid and interesting than himself. Leo Tolstoy
Singaporeans seemed generally quite loathe to discuss these more intimate policies of government with a curious foreign visitor who was more than twice as tall as the average human, and who sweated slowly but continuously, like and aged cheese. William Gibson
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "The Church always seems to be behind the times, when it is..."
The Church always seems to be behind the times, when it is really beyond the times. Gilbert K. Chesterton
In the talcum on the floor around him he could see the imprints of his mother's feet. She had moved from side to side, propelled by an over-eager partner, perhaps one of the Japanese officers to whom she was teaching to tango. Jim tried out the dance steps himself, which seemed far more violent than any tango he had ever seen, and managed to fall and cut his hand on the broken mirror. J. G. Ballard
What else can I tell you? It seems to me that everything has its proper emphasis; and finally I want to add just one more bit of advice: to keep growing, silently and earnestly, through your whole development; you couldn't disturb it any more violently than by looking outside and waiting for outside answers to questions that only your innermost feeling, in your quietest hour, can perhaps answer. Rainer Maria Rilke
L. Frank Baum quote: "it is always wise to do one's duty, however unpleasant that..."
...it is always wise to do one's duty, however unpleasant that duty may seem to be." -Ozma L. Frank Baum
I wrote fairy tales because the Fairy Tale seemed the ideal Form for the stuff I had to say. Then of course the Man in me began to have his turn. I thought I saw how stories of this kind could steal past a certain inhibition which had paralyzed much of my own religion in childhood. Why did one find it so hard to feel as one was told one ought to feel about God or about the sufferings of Christ? I thought the chief reason was that one was told one ought to. As obligation to feel can freeze... C. S. Lewis
The free intellect copies human life, but it considers this life to be something good and seems to be quite satisfied with it. That immense framework and planking of concepts to which the needy man clings his whole life long in order to preserve himself is nothing but a scaffolding and toy for the most audacious feats of the liberated intellect. And when it smashes this framework to pieces, throws it into confusion, and puts it back together in an ironic fashion, pairing the most alien things... Friedrich Nietzsche
Mark Twain quote: "He was sunshine most always-I mean he made it seem like good..."
He was sunshine most always-I mean he made it seem like good weather. Mark Twain
Then there is the tamarind. I thought tamarinds were made to eat, but that was probably not the idea. I ate several, and it seemed to me that they were rather sour that year. They pursed up my lips, till they resembled the stem-end of a tomato, and I had to take my sustenance through a quill for twenty-four hours. They sharpened my teeth till I could have shaved with them, and gave them a "wire edge" that I was afraid would stay; but a citizen said no, it will come off when the enamel does" -... Mark Twain
