Sometime Quotes (page 145)

I can’t believe THAT!” said Alice. Can’t you?” said the Queen in a pitying tone. “Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes.” Alice laughed. “There’s no use trying,” she said, “one can’t believe impossible things.” I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why sometimes I believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast! Lewis Carroll
I wonder, sometimes, whether men and women in fact are capable of learning from history - whether we progress from one stage to the next in an upward course or whether we just ride the cycles of boom and bust, war and peace, ascent and decline. Barack Obama
In all this welter of women I still hadn't got one for myself, not that I was trying too hard, but sometimes I felt lonely to see everybody paired off and having a good time and all I did was curl up in my sleeping bag in the rosebushes and sigh and say bah. For me it was just red wine in my mouth and a pile of firewood Jack Kerouac
It was considered at the time a striking proof of virtue in the young king that he was sorry for his father's death; but, as common subjects have that virtue too, sometimes, we will say no more about it. Charles Dickens
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "I talk to myself everyone once in a while. Give myself very..."
I talk to myself everyone once in a while. Give myself very good advice. Sometimes I even take it. Laurell K. Hamilton
God's viewpoint is sometimes different from ours - so different that we could not even guess at it unless He had given us a Book which tells us such things....In the Bible I learn that God values us not for our strenght or our brains but simply because He has made us. Corrie Ten Boom
Orson Scott Card quote: "As long as you keep getting born, it's all right to die sometimes"
As long as you keep getting born, it's all right to die sometimes Orson Scott Card
There are times when personal experience keeps us from reaching the mountain top and so we let it go because the weight of it is too heavy. And sometimes the mountain top is difficult to reach with all our resources, factual and confessional, so we are just there, collectively grasping, feeling the limitations of knowledge, longing together, yearning for a way to reach that highest point. Even this yearning is a way to know. Bell Hooks
The Photograph is violent: not because it shows violent tings, but because on each occasion (i)it fills the sight by force(i), and because in it nothing can be refused or transformed (that we can sometimes call it mild does not contradict its violence: many say that sugar is mild, but to me sugar is violent, and I call it so). Roland Barthes
It is an anxious, sometimes a dangerous thing to be a doll. Dolls cannot choose; they can only be chosen; they cannot 'do'; they can only be done by. Rumer Godden
What's prayer? It's shooting shafts into the dark. What mark they strike, if any, who's to say? It's reaching for a hand you cannot touch. The silence is so fathomless that prayers like plummets vanish into the sea. You beg. You whimper. You load God down with empty praise. You tell him sins that he already knows full well. You seek to change his changeless will. Yet Godric prays the way he breathes, for else his heart would wither in his breast. prayer is the wind that fills his sail. Else... Frederick Buechner
The truth is sometimes a poor competitor in the market place of ideas? complicated, unsatisfying, full of dilemmas, always vulnerable to misinterpretation and abuse. George F. Kennan
It is sometimes the minor, not the major, characters in a novel who hold the author's affection longest. It may be that one loses affection for the major characters because they suck off so much energy as one pushes them through their lives. Larry McMurtry
He has the memory of a convict, the balls of a fireman, and the eyesight of a housebreaker. When there is crime to fight, Landsman tears around Sitka like a man with his pant leg caught on a rocket. It's like there's a film score playing behind him, heavy on the castanets. The problem comes in the hours when he isn't working, when his thoughts start blowing out the open window of his brain like pages from the blotter. Sometimes it takes a heavy paperweight to pin them down. Michael Chabon
Bill Bennett quote: "They say God never gives us more than we can handle, but..."
They say God never gives us more than we can handle, but sometimes I think God has overestimated what I can take. Bill Bennett
