Start Quotes (page 116)

I am not concerned with simply surviving. I am very concerned about improving. I start each day by examining yesterday's work and looking for areas where I can improve. I am always trying to draw the characters better, and trying to design each panel somewhat in the manner a painter would treat his canvas. Charles M. Schulz

Yeah,' I said and started smoking another cigarette. Unless I inform you otherwise, I'm always smoking another cigarette. Martin Amis
Stephenie Meyer quote: "I’ve chosen my life — now I want to start living it."
I’ve chosen my life — now I want to start living it. Stephenie Meyer
We start off with high hopes, then we bottle it. We realise that we’re all going to die, without really finding out the big answers. We develop all those long-winded ideas which just interpret the reality of our lives in different ways, without really extending our body of worthwhile knowledge, about the big things, the real things. Basically, we live a short disappointing life; and then we die. We fill up our lives with shite, things like careers and relationships to delude ourselves that it... Irvine Welsh
Art Garfunkel quote: "Everything worth doing starts with being scared."
Everything worth doing starts with being scared. Art Garfunkel
There are ten thousand people in the United States in a persistent vegetative state. Just enough to start a small town. Think of them as veggie-burghers. George Carlin
Our starting point is not the individual: We do not subscribe to the view that one should feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, or clothe the naked? Our objectives are different: We must have a healthy people in order to prevail in the world. Joseph Goebbels
Charles Dickens quote: "We'll start to forget a place once we left it"
We'll start to forget a place once we left it Charles Dickens
Jeanette Winterson quote: "There’s no story that’s the start of itself."
There’s no story that’s the start of itself. Jeanette Winterson
Life is a stream On which we strew Petal by petal the flower of our heart; The end lost in dream, They float past our view, We only watch their glad, early start. Freighted with hope, Crimsoned with joy, We scatter the leaves of our opening rose; Their widening scope, Their distant employ, We never shall know. And the stream as it flows Sweeps them away, Each one is gone Ever beyond into infinite ways. We alone stay While years hurry on, The flower fared forth, though its fragrance still stays. Amy Lowell
The sad truth is, if you push hard enough, and if you’re so stubborn that you must have things your way, God will sometimes allow you to undertake a project without His blessing or at the wrong time. The problem with that, of course, is when you start something in your own strength and in your own timing, you’re going to have to finish it and maintain it in your own strength. Joel Osteen
Harlan Ellison quote: "Don't start an argument with somebody who has a microphone..."
Don't start an argument with somebody who has a microphone when you don't. They'll make you look like chopped liver. Harlan Ellison
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "If you're ever in a big hotel lobby, and they start to play..."
If you're ever in a big hotel lobby, and they start to play "The Blue Danube Waltz," get the hell out. Don't think. Run. Chuck Palahniuk
Too many writers start with a good idea and carry it through the first chapters, then fall apart because they had no idea where the top of the mountain was in the first place. Leon Uris
I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be your... C. S. Lewis
