Taking Quotes (page 156)

I do not teach truth as such; I do not transform myself into a diaphanous mouthpiece of eternal pedagogy: I settle accounts , however I can, on a certain number of problems; with you and with me or me, and through you, me and me, with a certain number of authorities represented here. I understand that the place I am now occupying will not be left out of the exhibit or withdrawn form the scene. Nor do I intend to withhold even that which I shall call, to save time, an autobiographical... Jacques Derrida
And when she talks of Carrie White her face takes on an odd pinched look that is more like Lovecraft out of Arkham than Kerouac out of Southern Cal. Stephen King
Louisa May Alcott quote: "It takes two flints to make a fire."
It takes two flints to make a fire. Louisa May Alcott
John Ruskin quote: "You should read books like you take medicine, by advice, and..."
You should read books like you take medicine, by advice, and not by advertisement. John Ruskin
Toward the end of their relationship she'd told him once, "I wish I could give you what you're looking for, but I don't know what it is. There's a part of you that you keep closed off from everyone, including me. Its as if I'm not the one you're really with. Your mind is on someone else." He tried to deny it, but she didn't believe him. "I'm a woman - I know these things. When you look at me sometimes, I know you're seeing someone else. Its like you keep waiting for her to pop out of thin air... Nicholas Sparks
Harper Lee quote: "I know now what he was trying to do, but Atticus was only a..."
I know now what he was trying to do, but Atticus was only a man. It takes awoman to do that kind of work. Harper Lee
My, how foolish I am! You know what I've always thought? I've always thought a body would have to be sick and dying before they saw the Lord. And I imagined that when He came it would be like looking at the Baptist window: pretty as colored glass with the sun pouring through, such a shine you don't know it's getting dark. And it's been a comfort: to think of that shine taking away all the spooky feeling. But I'll wager it never happens. I'll wager at the very end a body realizes the Lord has... Truman Capote
Most people, in fact, will not take the trouble in finding out the truth, but are much more inclined to accept the first story they hear. Thucydides
There are periods of despondency and suffering which take possession of me. But I don't want anything but my own way. That is wanting a good deal, of course, when you have to trample upon the lives, the hearts, the prejudices of others- Kate Chopin
Virginia C. Andrews quote: "Maybe thats because we take criticism best from those we love..."
Maybe thats because we take criticism best from those we love and those who love us-Ethan Virginia C. Andrews
Elizabeth Gilbert quote: "You take whatever works from wherever you can find it, and you..."
You take whatever works from wherever you can find it, and you keep moving toward the light. Elizabeth Gilbert
Bram Stoker quote: "I do not, as you know, take sufficient interest in dress to be..."
I do not, as you know, take sufficient interest in dress to be able to describe the new fashions. Dress is a bore. Bram Stoker
There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life. Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat; And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures. William Shakespeare
This was why I was here. This was why I would take whatever reception waited for me when I got back. Because, underneath all the anger and the sarcasm, Jacob was in pain. Right now, it was very clear in his eyes. I didn't know how to help him, but I knew I had to try. It was more than that I owed him. It was because his pain hurt me, too. Jacob had become a part of me, and there was no changing that now. Stephenie Meyer
We all take such pains to over-educate ourselves. In the wild struggle for existence, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our place. The thoroughly well-informed man - that is the modern ideal. And the mind of the thoroughly well-informed man is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-a-brac shop, all monsters and dust, with everything priced above its proper value. Oscar Wilde
