Something Quotes (page 276)

Pat Conroy quote: "There was always a grandeur and a nobility in my megalomania...."
There was always a grandeur and a nobility in my megalomania. And also something cheap and loathsome that I could not help. Pat Conroy
But even those people, cops, lawyers, doctors, learned what they learned from the aftermath. They weren't there when the killer tore at his victim; they didn't smell the scent of evil; they didn't hear the cries to heaven for something, someone, to intervene. Anne Rice
it's way too early for him to be talking anyhow but I see in his eyes something and I see in his eyes a voice and I see in his eyes a whole new set of words Sherman Alexie
For mines are for men, not for money. And money is not something to go mad about, and throw your hat into the air for. Money is for food and clothes and comfort, and a visit to the pictures. Money is to make happy the lives of children. Money is for security, and for dreams, and for hopes, and for purposes. Money is for buying the fruits of the earth, of the land where you were born. Alan Paton
I feel so bad in my childish soul that I smash my moldering lyre of thanksgiving in the face of the slumbering god of contentment and would rather feel the very devil burn in me than this warmth of a well-heated room. A wild longing for strong emotions and sensations seethes in me, a rage against this toneless, flat, normal and sterile life. I have a mad impluse to smash something, a warehouse, perhaps, or a cathedral, or myself (...)For what I have always hated and detested and cursed above... Herman Hesse
If you just worked hard enough. If you just learned enough. Ran fast enough. Everything would turn out right, and your life would amount to something. Chuck Palahniuk
Laura Bush quote: "Libraries offer, for free, the wisdom of the ages--and..."
Libraries offer, for free, the wisdom of the ages--and sages--and, simply put, there's something for everyone inside. Laura Bush
Recovery feels like shit. It didn't feel like I was doing something good; it felt like I was giving up. It feels like having to learn how to walk all over again. Portia de Rossi
Fernando Pessoa quote: "I sometimes think that I enjoy suffering. But the truth is I..."
I sometimes think that I enjoy suffering. But the truth is I would prefer something else. Fernando Pessoa
They walked on in silence. Katie's heart was beating with a rapidity that forbade speech. Nothing like this very direct young man had ever happened to her before. She had grown so accustomed to regarding herself as something too insignificant and unattractive for the notice of the lordly male that she was overwhelmed. She had a vague feeling that there was a mistake somewhere. It surely could not be she who was proving so alluring to this fairy prince. The novelty of the situation frightened... P. G. Wodehouse
Oscar Wilde quote: "There seemed to be something tragic in a friendship so..."
There seemed to be something tragic in a friendship so coloured by romance. Oscar Wilde
Why do we not care to acknowledge them? The cattle, the body count. We still don't like to admit the war was even partly our fault because so many of our people died. A photograph on every mantlepiece. And all this mourning has veiled the truth. It's not so much lest we forget, as lest we remember. Because you should realise the Cenotaph and the Last Post and all that stuff is concerned, there's no better way of forgetting something than by commemorating it. Alan Bennett
I had imagined a kind, ugly, intuitive man looking up and say, 'Ah!' in an encouraging way, as if he could see something I couldn't, and then I would find words to tell him how I was so scared, as if I were being stuffed farther and farther into a black, airless sack with no way out. Sylvia Plath
The shock of her death froze something in me. The child I loved, was gone, but I kept looking for her - long after I had left my own childhood behind. The poison was in the wound, you see. And the wound wouldn't heal. Vladimir Nabokov
Mitch Albom quote: "Sometimes, when you sacrifice something precious, you're not..."
Sometimes, when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really loosing it. You're just passing it on to someone else. Mitch Albom
