Sometime Quotes (page 150)

Dean Koontz quote: "People sometimes speak in code, often without realizing they..."
People sometimes speak in code, often without realizing they are doing so, as much a mystery to themselves as others. Dean Koontz
The difference between him and the other boys at such a time was that they knew it was make-believe, while to hime make-believe and true were exactly the same thing. This sometimes troubled them, as when they had to make-believe that they had had their dinners. J. M. Barrie
I also say "Boy" a lot. Partly because I have a lousy vocabulary and partly because I act quite young for my age sometimes. I was sixteen then, and I'm seventeen now, and some times I act like I'm about thirteen. It's really ironical, because I'm six foot two and a half and I have gray hair. J. D. Salinger
But when fall comes, kicking summer out on it's treacherous ass as it always does one day sometime after the midpoint of September, it stays awhile like an old friend that you have missed. Stephen King
This philistinism of interpretation is more rife in literature than in any other art. For decades now, literary critics have understood it to be their task to translate the elements of the poem or play or novel or story into something else. Sometimes a writer will be so uneasy before the naked power of his art that he will install within the work itself - albeit with a little shyness, a touch of the good taste of irony - the clear and explicit interpretation of it. Thomas Mann is an example... Susan Sontag
Alfred Lord Tennyson quote: "And sometimes through the mirror blue. The knights come riding..."
And sometimes through the mirror blue. The knights come riding two and two. Alfred Lord Tennyson
Every thing was a friend, or bore her thoughts to a friend; and though there had been sometimes much of suffering to her- though her motives had been often misunderstood, her feelings disregarded, and her comprehension under-valued; though she had known the pains of tyranny, of ridicule, and neglect, yet almost every recurrence of either had led to something consolatory... and the whole was now so blended together, so harmonised by distance, that every former affliction had its charm. Jane Austen
Jane Austen quote: "I cannot say that I regret my comparative insignificance,..."
...I cannot say that I regret my comparative insignificance, Importance may sometimes be purchased too dearly. Jane Austen
Elizabeth Gilbert quote: "when you set out in the world to help yourself,sometimes you..."
when you set out in the world to help yourself,sometimes you end up helping Tutti. Elizabeth Gilbert
Fear is strange soil. Mainly it grows obedience like corn, which grows in rows and makes weeding easy. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground. Terry Prachett
There's a saying that all roads lead to Ankh-Morpork. And it's wrong. All roads lead away from Ankh-Morpork, but sometimes people just walk along them the wrong way. Terry Prachett
The friends of Galtieri, Saddam Hussein, Mullah Omar and Milosevic make unconvincing defenders of humanitarian values, and it can be seen that their inept and sometimes inane arguments lack either the principles or the seriousness that are required in such debates. Christopher Hitchens
Don't misunderstand me. I am not scoffing at goodness, which is far more difficult to explain than evil, and far more complicated. But sometimes it's hard to put up with. Margaret Atwood
If this thing's hushed up it'll be a simple denial to Jem of the way I've tried to raise him. Sometimes I think I'm a total failure as a parent, but I'm all they've got. Before Jem looks at anyone else he looks at me, and I've tried to live so I can look squarely back at him.. if I connived at something like this, frankly I couldn't meet his eye, and the day I can't do that I'll know I've lost him. I don't want to lose him and Scout, because they're all I've got. Harper Lee
Taylor Swift quote: "Real love still happens sometimes. It's not just something we..."
Real love still happens sometimes. It's not just something we make up when you're nine. I have to believe that. You do too. Taylor Swift
