Something Quotes (page 238)

The Moral Law isn't any one instinct or any set of instincts: it is something which makes a kind of tune (the tune we call goodness or right conduct) by directing the instincts. (...) The most dangerous thing you can do is to take any one impulse of your own nature and set it up as the thing you ought to follow at all costs. There's not one of them which won't make us into devils if we set it up as an absolute guide. You might think love of humanity in general was safe, but it isn't. If you... C. S. Lewis
I suppose I have a really lose interpretation of 'work,' because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do. Andy Warhol
A man in a desert can hold absence in his cupped hands knowing it is something more than water. There is a plant whose heart, if one cuts it out is replaced with fluid containing herbal goodness. Every morning one can drink the liquid amount of the missing heart. Michael Ondaatje
Whereas the food debris of the Neanderthals shows a wide variety of animal bones, suggesting that they took whatever they could find, archaeological remnants from Homo sapiens show that they sought out particular kinds of game and tracked animals seasonally. All of this strongly suggests that they possessed a linguistic system sufficiently sophisticated to deal with concepts such as: “Today let’s kill some red deer. You take some big sticks and drive the deer out of the woods and we’ll... Bill Bryson
No matter how difficult something you or a loved one faces, it should not take over your life and be the center of all your interest. Challenges are growth experiences, temporary scenes to be played out on the background of a pleasant life. Don’t become so absorbed in a single event that you can’t think of anything else or care for yourself or for those who depend upon you. Remember, much like the mending of the body, the healing of some spiritual and emotional challenges takes time. Richard G. Scott
Her laugh was sad and taciturn, seemingly detached from any feeling of the moment, like something she kept in the cupboard and took out only when she had to, using it with no feeling of ownership, as if the infrequency of her smiles had made her forget the normal way to use them. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Elizabeth Wurtzel quote: "Banned! My eyes light up, I think I see stars. Anything that..."
Banned! My eyes light up, I think I see stars. Anything that has been banned by anyone must be something I’d like. Elizabeth Wurtzel
Several sets of arms would embrace me. But in the end, the only person I truly want to comfort me is Haymitch, because he loves Peeta, too. I reach out for him and say something like his name and he's there, holding me and patting my back. "It's okay. It'll be okay, sweetheart." He sits me on a length of broken marble pillar and keeps an arm around me while I sob. Suzanne Collins
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "Shrapnel was invented by an Englishman of the same name. Don't..."
Shrapnel was invented by an Englishman of the same name. Don't you wish you could have something named after you? Kurt Vonnegut
The way you move — you orient yourself around him without even thinking about it. When he moves, even a little bit, you adjust your position at the same time. Like magnets… or gravity. You’re like a… satellite, or something. Stephenie Meyer
Neil Peart quote: "From first to last, the peak is never passed. Something..."
From first to last, the peak is never passed. Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes. Neil Peart
Jane Goodall quote: "If we do not do something to help these creatures, we make a..."
If we do not do something to help these creatures, we make a mockery of the whole concept of justice. Jane Goodall
It was one of those rare nights when I was kept awake not by my nightmares and anxieties but by something exciting and exhilarating. Most nights I lay awake waiting for some unexpected disaster…I think I somehow felt that as long as I was conscious, nothing bad could happen… Azar Nafisi
Constellations shine with light that was emitted aeons ago, and I wait for something to come to me, words that a poet might use to illuminate life's mysteries. But there is nothing. Nicholas Sparks
from the end of John Shirley's Black Glass, something like: "the Singularity guys don't understand, they aren't copying us, our brains, just the noise we make John Shirley
