Taking Quotes (page 296)

He did not know, and perhaps this doctor did. And he could not take the chance of pitting his certain ignorance against this man's possible knowledge. He was trapped as his people were always trapped, and would be until, as he had said, they could be sure that the things in the books ere really in the books. John Steinbeck
Before taking her into the library, my wife told me she was an old friend in a marriage crisis. A fatuous lie; at her age there are no crises left in marriage, only acceptance and extraction. (General Villiers) Robert Ludlum
Not only was there no traffic but the rain came down in buckets and I had no shelter. I had to run under some pines to take cover; this did no good; I began crying and swearing and socking myself on the head for being such a damn fool. Jack Kerouac
Jack Kerouac quote: "Roaring dreams take place in a perfectly silent mind. Now that..."
Roaring dreams take place in a perfectly silent mind. Now that we know this, throw the raft away. Jack Kerouac
The lunatic is all ide fixe, and whatever he comes across confirms his lunacy. You can tell him by the liberties he takes with common sense, by his flashes of inspiration, and by the fact that sooner or later he brings up the Templars. Umberto Eco
Jack Kerouac quote: "What's in store for me in the direction I don't take?"
What's in store for me in the direction I don't take? Jack Kerouac
Where recyling takes place only in response to political pressures and exhortations, it need not meet the test of being incrementally worth its incremental costs. Accordingly, studies of government-imposed recycling programs in the United States have shown that what they salvage is usually worth less than the cost of salvaging it. Thomas Sowell
Death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed. Mitch Albom
Celine Dion quote: "What do you say to taking chances?"
What do you say to taking chances? Celine Dion
Tom Stoppard quote: "Life is a gamble, at terrible odds. If it were a bet you..."
Life is a gamble, at terrible odds. If it were a bet you wouldn’t take it. Tom Stoppard
Flannery O'Connor quote: "I can, with one eye squinted, take it all as a blessing."
I can, with one eye squinted, take it all as a blessing. Flannery O'Connor
Passion such as hers is all consent, asking little in return. I had merely to enter a room where she was to see her face take on that peaceful expression of one who is resting in bed. If I touched her, I had the impression that all the blood in her veins was turning to honey. Marguerite Yourcenar
To listen to critics, pro or con, and take their words to heart is to subcontract your self-esteem to strangers. (from Workbook) Sarah Brightman
Standing there at the stage door to the rest of your life. Time to dip your toe into the deep end. Try things. Say hi already. Laugh a lot. Mess up. Apologize. Mess up again. Hug people. Take chances. Trust yourself. Lose things. Get over it. Hold your friends close. Gather your strength. Gain wisdom and beautiful stories. Be brave, and you'll have the time of your life. Taylor Swift
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. Calvin Coolidge
