Some Quotes (page 269)

In popular houses where visitors like to go again and again, there is always a happy combination of some attention on the part of the hostess and the perfect freedom of the guests to occupy their time as they choose. Emily Post
It's tough, him getting it like that. Miles had his faults same as the rest of us, but I guess he must've had some good points too. Dashiell Hammett
But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for. Paulo Coelho
Sometimes I think children are the worst people alive. And even if they're not- even if some smiling toddler is as pure as Evian- it's only a matter of time. Chuck Klosterman
Albert Einstein quote: "Always do what's right; this will gratify some and astonish..."
Always do what's right; this will gratify some and astonish the rest Albert Einstein
In a certain faraway land the cold is so intense that words freeze as soon as they are uttered, and after some time then thaw and become audible so that words spoken in winter go unheard until the next summer. Plutarch
Joss Whedon quote: "Way I remember it, albatross was a ship's good luck...'til..."
Way I remember it, albatross was a ship's good luck...'til some idiot killed it. Yes, I've read a poem. Try not to faint. Joss Whedon
Cormac McCarthy quote: "I always thought when I got older that God would sort of come..."
I always thought when I got older that God would sort of come into my life in some way. He didn't. Cormac McCarthy
I was the first man to fall in love with you, son of Clinias, and now that the others have stopped pursuing you I suppose you're wondering why I'm the only one who hasn't given up - and also why, when the others pestered you with conversation, I never even spoke to you all these years. Human causes didn't enter into it; I was prevented by some divine being, the effect of which you'll hear later on. But now it no longer prevents me, so here I am. I'm confident it won't prevent me in future... Plato
Stephen Fry quote: "A month's salary, deep regret, the telephone number of some..."
A month's salary, deep regret, the telephone number of some foul rehab clinic and my lance was free. Stephen Fry
there's no question of heroism in all this. It's a matter of common decency. That's an idea which may make some people smile, but the only means of fighting a plague is - common decency. Albert Camus
In different degrees, in every part of the town, men and women had been yearning for a reunion, not of the same kind for all, but for all alike ruled out. Most of them had longed intensely for an absent one, for the warmth of a body, for love, or merely a life that habit had endeared. Some, often without knowing it, suffered from being deprived of the company of friends and from their inability to get in touch with them through the usual channels of friendship—letters, trains, and boats.... Albert Camus
We need sometimes to escape into open solitudes into aimlessness, into the moral holiday of running some pure hazard in order to sharpen the edge of life, to taste hardship, and to be compelled to work desperately for a moment at no matter what. George Santayana
Leo Tolstoy quote: "Then we should find some artificial inoculation against love,..."
Then we should find some artificial inoculation against love, as with smallpox. Leo Tolstoy
No mistake about it. Ice is cold; roses are red; I'm in love. And this love is about to carry me off somewhere. The current's too overpowering; I don't have any choice. It may very well be a special place, some place I've never seen before. Danger may be lurking there, something that may end up wounding me deeply, fatally. I might end up losing everything. But there's no turning back. I can only go with the flow. Even if it means I'll be burned up, gone forever. Haruki Murakami
