Specialization Quotes (page 10)

It is a mistake to confound strangeness with mystery. The most commonplace crime is often the most mysterious because it presents no new or special features from which deductions may be drawn. This murder would have been infinitely more difficult to unravel had the body of the victim been simply found lying in the roadway without any of those outr and sensational accompaniments which have rendered it remarkable. These strange details, far from making the case more difficult, have really had... Arthur Conan Doyle
Haruki Murakami quote: "I may not look it, but I can be a very patient guy. And..."
I may not look it, but I can be a very patient guy. And killing time is one of my specialities. Haruki Murakami
You've got to bear it in mind that nobody that ever lived is specially privileged; the axe can fall at any moment, on any neck, without any warning or any regard for justice. You've got to keep your mind off pitying your own rotten luck and setting up any kind of a howl about it. You've got to remember that things as bad as this and a hell of a lot worse have happened to millions of people before and that they've come through it and that you will too. James Agee
The recent Dictionary of Occupational Titles lists over twenty thousand specialized professions in America; being a millionaire is not one of them. Jerzy Kosinski
A wonderful realization will be the day you realize that you are unique in all the world. There is nothing that is an accident. You are a special combination for a purpose -- and don't let them tell you otherwise, even if they tell you that purpose is an illusion. (Live an illusion if you have to). You are that combination so that you can do what is essential for you to do. Don't ever believe that you have nothing to contribute. The world is an incredibly unfulfilled tapestry. And only you... Leo Buscaglia

It's real interesting to have a soul as a friend, and it makes me feel super special that I've managed it. Stephenie Meyer
What's so special about me?" There isn't anything specialabout you, at least, nothing I can put my finger on. And yet and here's the mystery of life - Ican't think of anything else. Paulo Coelho
J. D. Salinger quote: "Franny was staring at the little blotch of sunshine with a..."
Franny was staring at the little blotch of sunshine with a special intensity, as if she were considering lying down in it. J. D. Salinger
I am beginning to suspect all elaborate & special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the suposition that every child is an idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him come and go freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself... Helen Keller
There were plenty of women around who dressed smartly, and plenty more who dressed to impress, but this girl was different. Totally different. She wore her clothing with such utter naturalness and grace that she could have been a bird that had wrapped itself in a special wind as it made ready to fly off to another world. He had never seen a woman who wore her clothes with such apparent joy. And the clothes themselves looked as if, in being draped on her body, they had won new life for... Haruki Murakami
But as long as you know you're nobody special, you'll be a very decent sort of Horse, on the whole, and taking one thing with another. C. S. Lewis
In 1945, peace broke out. It was the end of the Joke. Joke warfare was banned at a special session of the Geneva Convention, and in 1950 the last remaining copy of the joke was laid to rest here in the Berkshire countryside, never to be told again. Graham Chapman
It was a moment he remembered for years after, as though a special small slice had been cut from the cake of time. If nothing fires between two people, such an instant simply falls back into the general wrack of memory. Stephen King
The first thing the boy Garion remembered was the kitchen at Faldor's farm. For all the rest of his life he had a special warm feeling for kitchens and those peculiar sounds and smells that seemed somehow to combine into a bustling seriousness that had to do with love and food and comfort and security and, above all, home. No matter how high Garion rose in life, he never forgot that all his memories began in that kitchen. David Eddings
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "Arterial-plaque specials that save minutes now can cost years,..."
Arterial-plaque specials that save minutes now can cost years, later on. Barbara Kingsolver
