F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find you're..."
I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Anxiety, the next gumption trap, is sort of the opposite of ego. You're so sure you'll do everything wrong you're afraid to do anything at all. Often this, rather than "laziness" is the real reason you find it hard to get started Robert M. Pirsig
Mrs General had no opinions. Her way of forming a mind was to prevent it from forming opinions. She had a little circular set of mental grooves or rails on which she started little trains of other people's opinions, which never overtook one another, and never got anywhere. Charles Dickens
The paradise offered by the culture industry is the same old drudgery. Both escape and elopement are pre-designed to lead back to the starting point. Pleasure promotes the resignation which it ought to help to forget. Theodor Adorno
You think wars get started because some duke gets shot, or someone cuts off one’s ear, or someone’s sited their missiles in the wrong place. It’s not like that. That’s just well, just reasons, which haven’t got anything to do with it. What really causes wars is two sides that can’t stand the sight of one another and the pressure builds up and up and then anything will cause it. Anything at all. Terry Prachett
Once upon a time, there was a prostitute called Maria. Wait a minute. "Once upon a time" is how all the best children's stories begin, and "prostitute" is a word for adults. How can I start a book with this apparent contradiction? But since, at every moment of our lives, we all have one foot in a fairy tale and the other in the abyss, let's keep that beginning. Paulo Coelho
You are always naked when you start writing; you are always as if you had never written anything before; you are always a beginner. Shakespeare wrote without knowing he would become Shakespeare Erica Jong
I'm not a child, Dad. And I'm not grounded anymore, remember?' 'Oh yes, you are. Starting now.' 'For what?' 'Because I said so.' 'Do I need to remind you that I'm a legal adult, Charlie?' 'This is my house, you follow my rules!' My glare turned icy. ' If that's hoe you want it. Do you want my to move out tonight? Or can I have a few days to pack?' Charlie's face went bright red. I instantly felt horrible for playing the move-out card. I took a deep breath and tried to make my tone more... Stephenie Meyer
Mother Teresa quote: "When you have nothing left but God, you have more than enough..."
When you have nothing left but God, you have more than enough to start over again. Mother Teresa
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "Where every day doesn't start with an alarm clock and end with..."
Where every day doesn't start with an alarm clock and end with the television. Chuck Palahniuk
I have my own theory about why decline happens at companies like IBM or Microsoft. The company does a great job, innovates and becomes a monopoly or close to it in some field, and then the quality of the product becomes less important. The company starts valuing the great salesmen, because they’re the ones who can move the needle on revenues, not the product engineers and designers. So the salespeople end up running the company. Walter Isaacson
Jodi Picoult quote: "No one gets to start where they left off; it just doesn't work..."
No one gets to start where they left off; it just doesn't work that way. Jodi Picoult
Jim Morrison quote: "Lying on stained, wretched sheets with a bleeding virgin. We..."
Lying on stained, wretched sheets with a bleeding virgin. We could plan a murder. Or start a religion. Jim Morrison
Laura Ingalls Wilder quote: "We'd never get anything fixed to suit us if we waited for..."
We'd never get anything fixed to suit us if we waited for things to suit us before we started. Laura Ingalls Wilder
she clutched her purse and was completely composed, gracefully accepting people’s sympathies, but when they started to shovel the dirt over old dick’s coffin she began to weep, and her grief was strong enough to chase the sparrows from the trees. Alice Hoffman
