Series Quotes (page 5)

Our particular causality scheme has brought us to a modest and rudimentary, although in many respects heroic, series of explorations. But it is far inferior to what might have been, and may one day be. Carl Sagan
Emotional discomfort, when accepted, rises, crests and falls in a series of waves. Each wave washes a part of us away and deposits treasures we never imagined. Out goes naivete, in comes wisdom; out goes anger, in comes discernment; out goes despair, in comes kindness. No one would call it easy, but the rhythm of emotional pain that we learn to tolerate is natural, constructive and expansive... The pain leaves you healthier than it found you. Martha Beck
My reading list grows exponentially. Every time I read a book, it'll mention three other books I feel I have to read. It's like a particularly relentless series of pop-up ads. A. J. Jacobs
If I correctly understand the sense of this succinct observation, our poet suggests here that human life is but a series of footnotes to a vast obscure unfinished masterpiece. Vladimir Nabokov
Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.”“A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle.” “A wrestling match. Yes you could describe life that way.” “Which side wins?” “Love wins. Love always wins.” - Tuesdays With Morrie Mitch Albom
Life is a series of experiences, each of which makes us bigger, even though it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and griefs which we endure help us in our marching onward. Henry Ford
There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. Judith Martin
What part of confidante has that poor teapot played ever since the kindly plant was introduced among us! Why myriads of women have cried over it, to be sure! [...] Nature meant very kindly by women when she made the tea plant; and with a little thought, what series of pictures and groups of the fancy may conjure up and assemble round the teapot and cup. William Makepeace Thackeray
A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats. George Orwell
To do something that you feel in your heart that's great, you need to make a lot of mistakes. Anything that's successful is a series of mistakes. Billie Joe Armstrong
Mario Puzo quote: "That's like bringing a guy up from the minors to pitch the..."
That's like bringing a guy up from the minors to pitch the World Series. Mario Puzo
Terry Prachett quote: "[...] the awesome splendor of the universe is much easier to..."
[...] the awesome splendor of the universe is much easier to deal with if you think of it as a series of small chunks. Terry Prachett
We are so used to the notion of our own inevitability as life's dominant species that it is hard to grasp that we are here only because of timely extraterrestrial bangs and other random flukes. The one thing we have in common with all other living things is that for nearly four billions years our ancestors have managed to slip through a series of closing doors every time we needed them to. Bill Bryson
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures,..."
If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him F. Scott Fitzgerald
Michael Chabon quote: "But the first lie in the series is the one you make with the..."
But the first lie in the series is the one you make with the greatest trepidation and the heaviest heart. Michael Chabon
