Than Quotes (page 172)

Edna O'Brien quote: "She said the reason that love is so painful is that it always..."
She said the reason that love is so painful is that it always amounts to two people wanting more than two people can give. Edna O'Brien
Amy Tan quote: "Don't think too much. That makes you believe you have more..."
Don't think too much. That makes you believe you have more choices than you do. Then you mind becomes confused. Amy Tan
Blot your misdeeds out (if you are particularly conscientious), by a good deed, as soon as you can; just as we did a correct sum at school on the slate, where an incorrect one was only half rubbed out. It was better than wetting our sponge with our tears; both less loss of time where tears had to be waited for, and a better effect at last. Elizabeth Gaskell
Nick Hornby quote: "Books are, let's face it, better than everything else."
Books are, let's face it, better than everything else. Nick Hornby
No, look, there's a blue box. It's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. It can go anywhere in time and space and sometimes even where it's meant to go. And when it turns up, there's a bloke in it called The Doctor and there will be stuff wrong and he will do his best to sort it out and he will probably succeed 'cause he's awesome. Now sit down, shut up, and watch 'Blink'. Neil Gaiman
We are all prone to brood on the evil done us. That brooding becomes as a gnawing and destructive canker. Is there a virtue more in need of application in our time than the virtue of forgiving and forgetting? There are those who would look upon this as a sign of weakness. Is it? I submit that it takes neither strength nor intelligence to brood in anger over wrongs suffered, to go through life with a spirit of vindictiveness, to dissipate one’s abilities in planning retribution. There is no... Gordon B. Hinckley
It's my conviction that slight shifts in imagination have more impact on living than major efforts at change... deep changes in life follow movements in imagination. Thomas Moore
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. Not its attainment, nor its final definition, but its pursuit. I believe in the journey, not the arrival; in conversation, not monologues; in multiple questions rather than any single answer. I believe in the struggle to remake ourselves and challenge each other in the spirit of eternal forgiveness, in the awareness that none of us knows for sure what happiness truly is, but each of us knows the imperative to keep searching. I believe in the possibility... Andrew Sullivan
Stephenie Meyer quote: "Let's face it, I'm hotter than you." -Jacob Black"
Let's face it, I'm hotter than you." -Jacob Black Stephenie Meyer
Michel de Montaigne quote: "When I play with my cat, how do I know that she is not playing..."
When I play with my cat, how do I know that she is not playing with me rather than I with her? Michel de Montaigne
To rush headlong into the comforting darkness of selfhood as a reborn human being, or even as beast, an unhappy ghost, a denizen of hell. Anything rather than the burning brightness of unmitigated Reality. Aldous Huxley
For a moment a phrase tried to take shape in my mouth and my lips parted like a dumb man’s, as though there was more struggling upon them than a wisp of startled air. But they made no sound, and what I had almost remembered was uncommunicable forever F. Scott Fitzgerald
The standards for horror fiction should be no less than those for 'serious literary' fiction in which originality of concept, depth of characters, and attentiveness to language are vitally important. Joyce Carol Oates
My head don't work any more and it's hard for me to understand how anybody could care if he lived or died or was dying or cared about anything but whether or not there was liquor left in the bottle and so I said what I said without thinking. In some ways I'm no better than the others, in some ways worse because I'm less alive. Maybe it's being alive that makes them lie, and being almost not alive that makes me sort of accidentally truthful--I don't know but--anyway--we've been friends...And... Tennessee Williams
Why do grown-ups think it's easier for children to bear secrets than the truth? Don't they know about the horror stories we imagine to explain the secrets? Cornelia Funke
