Taking Quotes (page 80)

Murray said, I dont trust anybodys nostalgia but my own. Nostalgia is a product of dissatisfaction and rage. Its a settling of grievances between the present and the past. The more powerful the nostalgia, the closer you come to violence. War is the form nostalgia takes when men are hard-pressed to say something good about their country. Don DeLillo
Don’t become mesmerize by the pictures that have appeared if they are not what you want. Take responsibility for them, make light of them if you can, and let them go. Then think new thoughts of what you want, feel them, and be grateful that it is done. Rhonda Byrne
Orson Scott Card quote: "A duel is just two murders who agree to take turns trying to..."
A duel is just two murders who agree to take turns trying to kill each other. Orson Scott Card
If we take habitual drunkards as a class, their heads and hearts will bear an advantageous comparison with those of any other class. Abraham Lincoln
I'd seen this happen several times before, in different institutions, but it was no less remarkable on each occasion: the words were like the flow of water over coals, taking away crackling heat and leaving only a steaming whisper, a perhaps momentary but nonetheless effective remission from deep-burning fire. Caleb Carr
The art of one's own time tends to be formidable . . . because we have to learn how and where to take hold of it, what response is being asked of us, before we can get involved. It's truly new, and therefore truly a bit frightening. Ursula K. Le Guin

I'd take it manfully, and be respected if I couldn't be loved Louisa May Alcott

J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "I warn you, if you bore me, I shall take my revenge."
I warn you, if you bore me, I shall take my revenge. J. R. R. Tolkien
The natural inclination of a child is to take pleasure in the use of the mind no less than of the body. The child's primary business is learning. It is also the primary entertainment. To retain that orientation into adulthood, so that consciousness is not a burden but a joy, is the mark of the successfully developed human being. Nathaniel Branden
John Steinbeck quote: "It takes great courage to back truth unacceptable to our..."
It takes great courage to back truth unacceptable to our times. There's a punishment for it and it's usually crucifixion. John Steinbeck
If I cannot give my children a perfect mother I can at least give them more of the one they've got--and make that one more loving. I will be available. I will take time to listen, time to play, time to be home when they arrive from school, time to counsel and encouerage. Ruth Graham
John Steinbeck quote: "Somehow they felt they were living in a moment when history..."
Somehow they felt they were living in a moment when history pauses and takes stock and changes course. John Steinbeck
If we have never had the experience of taking our commonplace religious shoes off our commonplace religious feet, and getting rid of all the undue familiarity with which we approach God, it is questionable whether we have ever stood in his presence. Oswald Chambers
There are three ways that men get what they want: by planning, by working, and by praying. Any great military operation takes careful planning or thinking. Then you must have well trained troops to carry it out: that's working. But between the plan and the operation there is always an unknown. That unknown spells defeat or victory; success or failure. It is the reaction of the actors to the ordeal when it actually comes. Some people call that getting the breaks. I call it God. God has His... George S. Patton
