Something Quotes (page 405)

You must have a room, or a certain hour or so a day, where you don’t know what was in the newspapers that morning, you don’t know who your friends are, you don’t know what you owe anybody, you don’t know what anybody owes to you. This is a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be. This is the place of creative incubation. At first you may find that nothing happens there. But if you have a sacred place and use it, something eventually will happen. Joseph Campbell
I always wanted to be a writer, but Alan Moore's work and help inspired me to write comics. In some ways the biggest influence on me writing was Punk. There was the idea that you could do something by simply doing it. Neil Gaiman
I always worked until I had something done and I always stopped when I knew what was going to happen next. That way I could be sure of going on the next day. Ernest Hemingway
One word is too often profaned. For me to profane it, One feeling too falsely disdain'd. For thee to disdain it. One hope too like dispair. For prudence to smother, I can give not what men call love: But wilt thou accept not. The worship the heart lifts above. And heaven rejects not: The desire of the moth for the star, The devotion of something afar. From the sphere of our sorrow? Percy Bysshe Shelley
The question is: is it better to be alive or dead? Is it nobler to put up with all the nasty things that luck throws your way, or to fight against all those troubles by simply putting an end to them once and for all? Dying, sleeping—that’s all dying is—a sleep that ends all the heartache and shocks that life on earth gives us—that’s an achievement to wish for. To die, to sleep—to sleep, maybe to dream. Ah, but there’s the catch: in death’s sleep who knows what kind of dreams might come, after... William Shakespeare
I dread no more the first white in my hair, Or even age itself, the easy shoe, The cane, the wrinkled hands, the special chair: Time, doing this to me, may alter too. My anguish, into something I can bear Edna St. Vincent Millay
Martin Luther King jr. quote: "When I took up the cross I recognized it's meaning. The cross..."
When I took up the cross I recognized it's meaning. The cross is something that you bear, and ultimately, that you die on. Martin Luther King jr.
O that our dreamings all, of sleep or wake, Would all their colours from the sunset take: From something of material sublime, Rather than shadow our own soul's day-time. In the dark void of night. For in the world. We jostle, - but my flag is not unfurl'd... John Keats
Nora Roberts quote: "Because when you hate something, you stop doing it."
Because when you hate something, you stop doing it. Nora Roberts
I have desired, like every artist, to create a little world out of the beautiful, pleasant, and significant things of this marred and clumsy world, and to show in a vision something of the face of Ireland to any of my own people who would look where I bid them. I have thereforewritten down accurately and candidly much that I have heard and seen, and, except by way of commentary, nothing that I have merely imagined. William Butler Yeats
We make messes of our lives, but every now and then, we manage to do something that's exactly right. The challenge is figuring out which is which. Jodi Picoult
Walter Mosley quote: "There was something about his grandfather's death, about men..."
There was something about his grandfather's death, about men who love their sons . . . Walter Mosley
Terry Goodkind quote: "Once you teach me something, it's mine to use."
Once you teach me something, it's mine to use. Terry Goodkind
He had an egglike head, froglike jaws, and a grey hairy fringe of aureole round the lower part of his face; the whole combined with a reddish, acquiline nose. He wore a shabby black frock-coat, a sort of semi-clerical tie worn at a very unclerical angle, and looking, generally speaking, about as unlike a house-agent as anything could look, short of something like a sandwich-man or a Scotch Highlander. Gilbert K. Chesterton
f you expect to be successful, you will eventually be successful. If you expect to be happy and popular, you will be happy and popular. If you expect to be healthy and prosperous, that is what will happen... Always think and talk positively about the future. Start every morning by saying: 'I believe something wonderful is going to happen to me today.' Then, throughout the day, expect the best. Brian Tracy
