Should Quotes (page 190)

A writer should say to himself, not, How can I get more money?, but How can I reach more readers (without lowering standards)? Brian Aldiss
THIS TORTURE Why should we tell you our love stories when you spill them together like blood in the dirt? Love is a pearl lost on the ocean floor, or a fire we can’t see, but how does saying that push us through the top of the head into the light above the head? Love is not an iron pot, so this boiling energy won’t help. Soul, heart, self. Beyond and within those is one saying, How long before I’m free of this torture! Rumi
The story had held us, round the fire, sufficiently breathless, but except the obvious remark that it was gruesome, as, on Christmas Eve in an old house, a strange tale should essentially be, I remember no comment uttered till somebody happened to say that it was the only case he had met in which such a visitation had fallen on a child. Henry James
Warren Buffett quote: "People always ask me where they should go to work, and I..."
People always ask me where they should go to work, and I always tell them to go to work for whom they admire the most. Warren Buffett
Miss Rand now tells us that what we have thought was right is really wrong. The lesson should have read: One for one and none for all. Gore Vidal
My first editor used to say that eighty-five per cent of what goes on in a novelist's head is none of his business, a sentiment I've never believed should be restricted to just writers. Stephen King
I mean why should somebody go steal and break the law to get all they can when there's always some law where you can be legal and get it all anyway! William Gaddis
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "Where one can no longer love, there one should pass by."
Where one can no longer love, there one should pass by. Friedrich Nietzsche
I am making a correction to one of the quotes you guys have for Sly Stallone; It's not ethical to put " " around words saying a person said something and did not. Hence the meaning of quoting someone; means that person said exactly what you're putting quotes around-Verbatim. Here's the real quote by Sly Stallone in Rocky Balboa; "It ain't about how hard you can hit it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is... Sylvester Stallone
Doug Coupland quote: "You wait for fate to bring about the changes in life which you..."
You wait for fate to bring about the changes in life which you should be bringing about yourself. Doug Coupland
We therefore work, not for the work's sake, but for money—and money is supposed to get us what we really want in our hours of leisure and play. In the United States even poor people have lots of money compared with the wretched and skinny millions of India, Africa, and China, while our middle andupper classes (or should we say "income groups") are as prosperous as princes. Yet, by and large, they have but slight taste for pleasure. Money alone cannot buy pleasure, though it can help. For... Alan Watts
We need a name for the new replicator, a noun that conveys the idea of a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation. 'Mimeme' comes from a suitable Greek root, but I want a monosyllable that sounds a bit like 'gene'. I hope my classicist friends will forgive me if I abbreviate mimeme to meme. If it is any consolation, it could alternatively be thought of as being related to 'memory', or to the French word mme. It should be pronounced to rhyme with 'cream'. Richard Dawkins
I don't see why I should bow my head when I could hold it high, or place it in the hands of my enemies when I can defeat them. Jose Rizal
Yet, ah! why should they know their fate, Since sorrow never comes too late, And happiness too swiftly flies? Thought would destroy their Paradise. No more;—where ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise. Thomas Gray
The jury is supposed to be twelve peers, but technically that would mean every single person on the jury should have Asperger's syndrome, because then they'd really understand me. Jodi Picoult
