Surely Quotes (page 62)

Woe betide him, and her too, when it comes to things of consequence, when they are placed in circumstances requiring fortitude and strength of mind, if she have not resolution enough to resist idle interference ... It is the worst evil of too yielding and indecisive a character, that no influence over it can be depended on. You are never sure of a good impression being durable; everybody may sway it. Let those who would be happy be firm. Jane Austen

Unless the object of the singer’s affection is a vampire, surely what Hart means is unphotogenic. Only vampires are unphotographable, but affectionate ‘-enic’ rhymes are hard to come by. Stephen Sondheim
I told myself that if I didn't care, this wouldn't have hurt so much - surely that proved I was alive and human and all those touchy-feely things, for once and for all. But that wasn't a relief, not when I felt like a skyscraper with dynamite on every floor. Jodi Picoult
When he thought of her, it rather amazed him, that he had let that girl with her violin go. Now, of course, he saw that her self-effacing proposal was quite irrelevant. All she had needed was the certainty of his love, and his reassurance that there was no hurry when a lifetime lay ahead of them. Love and patience- if only he had had them both at once- would surely have seen them both through. Ian Mcewan
Be sure it is not for nothing that the Landlord has knit our hearts so closely to time and place? to one friend rather than another and one shire more that all the land. C. S. Lewis
Suzanne Collins quote: "They're a little strange, but I'm pretty sure neither of them..."
They're a little strange, but I'm pretty sure neither of them is going to try to make me uncomfortable by stripping naked. Suzanne Collins
Her one drink had Cecelia giggling and talking and she was explaining that animals had souls too. Nobody challenged her opinion. It was possible, we knew. What we weren't sure of was if we had any. Charles Bukowski
A time will come when a politician who has wilfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own. H. G. Wells
If she did experience sex--or something close to it--in high school, I'm sure it would have been less out of sexual desire or love than literary curiosity. Haruki Murakami
Alice Hoffman quote: "When all is said and done, the weather and love are the two..."
When all is said and done, the weather and love are the two elements about which one can never be sure. Alice Hoffman
J. K. Rowling quote: "Well, I’m sure you’ll find someone somewhere who’ll have you."
Well, I’m sure you’ll find someone somewhere who’ll have you. J. K. Rowling
Douglas Adams quote: "Just believe everything I tell you, and it will all be very,..."
Just believe everything I tell you, and it will all be very, very simple.'Ah, well, I'm not sure I believe that. Douglas Adams
There are no buts, my son. True there are degrees of honor? but one man can have only one code. Do what you like. It's your choice. Some things a man must decide for himself. Sometimes you have to adapt to circumstances. But for the love of God guard yourself and your conscience? no one else will? and know that a bad decision at the right time can destroy you far more surely than any bullet! James Clavell
