Than Quotes (page 144)

A human being is primarily a bag for putting food into; the other functions and faculties may be more godlike, but in point of time they come afterwards. A man dies and is buried, and all his words and actions are forgotten, but the food he has eaten lives after him in the sound or rotten bones of his children. I think it could be plausibly argued that changes of diet are more important than changes of dynasty or even of religion....Yet it is curious how seldom the all-importance of food is... George Orwell

The only thing he likes better than a nice juicy homicide is a sirloin steak smothered with onions. Richard Brautigan
Most people have some appreciation of mathematics, just as most people can enjoy a pleasant tune; and there are probably more people really interested in mathematics than in music. Appearances suggest the contrary, but there are easy explanations. Music can be used to stimulate mass emotion, while mathematics cannot; and musical incapacity is recognized (no doubt rightly) as mildly discreditable, whereas most people are so frightened of the name of mathematics that they are ready, quite... G. H. Hardy
S. E. Hinton quote: "If you have two friends in your lifetime, you're lucky. If you..."
If you have two friends in your lifetime, you're lucky. If you have one good friend, you're more than lucky. S. E. Hinton
Billy Pilgrim had a theory about diaries. Women were more likely than men to think that their lives had sufficient meaning to require recording on a daily basis. It was not for the most part a God-is-leading-me-on-a-wondrous-journey kind of meaning, but more an I've-gotta-be-me-but-nobody-cares sentimentalism that passed for meaning, and they usually stopped keeping a diary by the time they hit thirty, because by then they didn't want to ponder the meaning of life anymore because it scared... Dean Koontz
Is there a more pitiable spectacle than that of a wife contending with others for that charm in her husband's sight which no philters and no prayers can renew when once it has fled forever? Women are so unwise. Love is like a bird's song beautiful and eloquent when heard in forest freedom, harsh and worthless in repetition when sung from behind prison bars. You cannot secure love by vigilance, by environment, by captivity. What use is it to keep the person of a man beside you if his soul be... Ouida
In the meantime: (1) be direct; (2) remember that, being smarter than men, women respond to courtesy and kindness; (3) if you want to know what kind of a wife someone will make, observe her around her father and mother; (4) as to who gets out of the elevator first, I just can't help you. David Mamet
I have not yet spoken my last word about women. I believe that if a woman succeeds in withdrawing from the mass, or rather raising herself from above the mass, she grows ceaselessly and more than a man. Arthur Schopenhauer
You are mistaken, Mr. Darcy, if you suppose that the mode of your declaration affected me in any other way, than as it spared the concern which I might have felt in refusing you, had you behaved in a more gentlemanlike manner." (Elizabeth Bennett) Jane Austen
Paulo Coelho quote: "The adrenaline and stress of an adventure are better than a..."
The adrenaline and stress of an adventure are better than a thousand peaceful days. Paulo Coelho
George R. R. Martin quote: "Some allies are more dangerous than enemies."
Some allies are more dangerous than enemies. George R. R. Martin
In all my travels, I've never seen a country's population more determined to forgive, and to build and succeed than in Rwanda. Rick Warren
Jane Austen quote: "I must learn to be content with being happier than I deserve."
I must learn to be content with being happier than I deserve. Jane Austen
Roald Dahl quote: "You is getting nosier than a parker."
You is getting nosier than a parker. Roald Dahl
Homer quote: "Men grow tired of sleep, love, singing and dancing, sooner..."
Men grow tired of sleep, love, singing and dancing, sooner than war. Homer
