Sees Quotes (page 195)

If you want to see what my Earthsea looks like, you could sail past the Scilly Isles (handy for you Brits); or you could go to a little bay called Trinidad on the far north coast of California on a foggy morning (not so handy for you Brits). But these are both places I saw long after I had mapped and travelled in the Archipelago. It was pleasant to be able to say - ah! yes! that looks just like the West Reach! Ursula K. Le Guin
P. G. Wodehouse quote: "What a queer thing Life is! So unlike anything else, don't you..."
What a queer thing Life is! So unlike anything else, don't you know, if you see what I mean. P. G. Wodehouse
The great bulk of the legal voters of the South were men who owned no slaves; their homes were generally in the hills and poor country; their facilities for educating their children, even up to the point of reading and writing, were very limited; their interest in the contest was very meagre--what there was, if they had been capable of seeing it, was with the North; they too needed emancipation. Ulysses S. Grant
Underneath my outside face. There's a face that none can see. A little less smiley, A little less sure, But a whole lot more like me. Shel Silverstein
Charlotte Bronte quote: "Where did you get your copies?" "Out of my head." "That head I..."
Where did you get your copies?" "Out of my head." "That head I see now on your shoulders?" "Yes, sir. Charlotte Bronte
Jesus thrown everything off balance. It was the same case with Him as with me except He hadn't committed any crime and they could prove I had committed one because they had the papers on me. Of course they never shown me my papers. That's why I sign myself now. I said long ago, you get you a signature and sign everything you do and keep a copy of it. Then you'll know what you done and you can hold up the crime to the punishment and see do they match and in the end you'll have something... Flannery O'Connor
When I am dead--I say it that way because from the things I know, I do not expect to live long enough to read this book in its finished form--I want you to just watch and see if I'm not right in what I say: that the white man, in his press, is going to identify me with "hate". He will make use of me dead, as he has made use of me alive, as a convenient symbol, of "hatred"--and that will help him escape facing the truth that all I have been doing is holding up a mirror to reflect, to show,... Malcolm X
Mary Higgins Clark quote: "Funny, when you finally faced reality, it was amazing how..."
Funny, when you finally faced reality, it was amazing how clearly you could see things. Mary Higgins Clark
To ensure that the self doesn't shrink, to see that it holds on to its volume, memories have to be watered like potted flowers, and the watering calls for regular contact with the witnesses of the past, that is to say, with friends. Milan Kundera
The most mentally deranged people are certainly those who see in others indications of insanity they do not notice in themselves. Leo Tolstoy
Isn't it supposed to be like this?" He smiled. "The glory of first love, and all that. It's incredible, isn't it, the difference between reading about something, seeing it in the pictures, and experiencing it?"Very different," I agreed. "More forceful than I'd imagined. Stephenie Meyer
There is a certain unique and strange delight about walking down an empty street alone. There is an off-focus light cast by the moon, and the streetlights are part of the spotlight apparatus on a bare stage set up for you to walk through. You get a feeling of being listened to, so you talk aloud, softly, to see how it sounds. Sylvia Plath
...I just want to be free of the fears and anxieties and the superstitions of religion. An 'avenging GOD'? One who created Hell for those who don't believe? I thought we were the perfect and holy children of GOD? How could any limits possibly be put upon us? Hell.. really? I'm sorry, but... no. Wrong. You're wrong. That's an insane GOD and therefore not mine. Because, see, GOD would be very sane, don't you get it? Bill Hicks
Jodi Picoult quote: "We all have things that come back to haunt us. Some of us just..."
We all have things that come back to haunt us. Some of us just see them more clearly than others. Jodi Picoult
