Something Else Quotes (page 19)

He who has two grounds of trust is lost! He who relies upon two salvations, and cannot say of Christ, “He is all my salvation and all my desire,” that man is not only in danger of being lost, but he is already condemned; because, in fact, he believes not on the Son of God! He is not alive to God at all, but rests partly on the Cross, and then in some measure on something else. Charles Spurgeon
She had given birth to me and nursed me and brought me up. She had known me before I knew myself and now she had no say in the matter. Life started out one thing and then suddenly turned a corner and became something else. Jeffrey Eugenides
Nor did Anders remember seeing a woman leap to her death from the building opposite his own just days after his daughter was born. He did not remember shouting, “Lord have mercy!” He did not remember deliberately crashing his father’s car in to a tree, of having his ribs kicked in by three policemen at an anti-war rally, or waking himself up with laughter. He did not remember when he began to regard the heap of books on his desk with boredom and dread, or when he grew angry at writers for... Tobias Wolff
When you love someone - when you create a child with him - you don't just suddenly lose that bond. Like any other energy, it can't be destroyed, just channeled into something else. Jodi Picoult
I've often thought that there isn't any "I" at all; that we are simply the means of expression of something else; that when we think we are ourselves, we are simply the victims of a delusion. Aleister Crowley
There seems to beno unexpressed selfin animals, as ifthey are as fullythemselves in fleshas possible, with nolag of consciousnessto fill up, while wekeep trying to growinto something else. Jane Roberts
Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their discourse is secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything conceals something else. Italo Calvino
Richard Brautigan quote: "Finding is losing something else. I think about, perhaps even..."
Finding is losing something else. I think about, perhaps even mourn, what I lost to find this Richard Brautigan
Man's gift of seeing resemblances is nothing other than a rudiment of the powerful compulsion in former times to become and behave like something else. Walter Benjamin
The wise man will be as happy as circumstances permit, and if he finds the contemplation of the universe painful beyond a point, he will contemplate something else instead. Bertrand Russell
Every ending is arbitrary, because the end is where you write The end. A period, a dot of punctuation, a point of stasis. A pinprick in the paper: you could put your eye to it and see through, to the other side, to the beginning of something else. Or, as Tony says to her students, Time is not a solid, like wood, but a fluid, like water or the wind. It doesn't come neatly cut into even-sized length, into decades and centuries. Nevertheless, for our purposes we have to pretend it does. The end... Margaret Atwood
Franklin D. Roosevelt quote: "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment..."
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear. Franklin D. Roosevelt
How can it be?" she wondered. "I suppose I could understand it if men had simply forgotten unicorns(....) But not to see them at all, to look at them and see something else? what do they look to one another, then? What do trees look like to them, or houses, or real horses, or their own children? Peter S. Beagle
I would hesitate to use the word 'success' in the way many people do. I don't know that I would apply it to what I've done as though I have now reached the ultimate goal. To me success is a continuing thing. It is growth and development. It is achieving one thing and using that as a stepping stone to achieve something else. Success comes as you have confidence in yourself. Self-confidence is built by succeeding, even if the success is small. It is the believing that makes it possible. Walter Knott
George Bernard Shaw quote: "Set me anything to do as a task, and it is inconceivable the..."
Set me anything to do as a task, and it is inconceivable the desire I have to do something else. George Bernard Shaw
