Than Quotes (page 287)

Nothing can be more readily disproved than the old saw, “You can’t keep a good man down.” Most human societies have been beautifully organized to keep good men down. John W. Gardner
I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. Alfred Lord Tennyson
To come to the end of a time of anxiety and fear! To feel the cloud that hung over us lift and disperse - that cloud that dulled the heart and made happiness no more than a memory! This at least is one joy that must have been known by almost every living creature. Richard Adams
Pain is nothing, just a warning signal from the body to the brain. Pain is no more the real thing than an X-ray photograph is the real thing. Biut of course he is wrong. J. M. Coetzee
If you had grown up with me, this is one of the things I would have tried to teach you: Marry a man who loves you more than you love him. Because I have both now, and when it is the other way around, there is no spell in the world that can even out the balance. Jodi Picoult
What was it that made this human love so much more desirable to me than the love of my own kind? Was it because it was exclusive and capricious? The souls offered love and acceptance to all. Did I crave a greater challenge?...Or was it simply better somehow? Because these humans hate with so much fury, was the other end of the spectrum that they could love with more heart and zeal and fire? Stephenie Meyer
C. S. Lewis quote: "Love is something more stern and splendid than mere kindness."
Love is something more stern and splendid than mere kindness. C. S. Lewis
Having waited my entire life to get an award for something, anything...I now get awards all the time for being mentally ill. It’s better than being bad at being insane, right? How tragic would it be to be runner-up for Bipolar Woman of the Year? Carrie Fisher
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "Are these things really better than the things I already have?..."
Are these things really better than the things I already have? Or am I just trained to be dissatisfied with what I have now? Chuck Palahniuk
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "Maybe you’re not willing to give up a lover who’s colder than..."
Maybe you’re not willing to give up a lover who’s colder than you are. Laurell K. Hamilton
Hope is not about proving anything. It’s about choosing to believe this one thing: that love is bigger than any grim, bleak shit anyone can throw at us. Anne Lamott
I don't pretend to be wise, but I am observing, and I see a great deal more than you'd imagine. I'm interested in other people's experiences and inconsistencies, and, though I can't explain, I remember and use them for my own benefit. Louisa May Alcott
Anne Rice quote: "The supernatural world has always been more real to me than..."
The supernatural world has always been more real to me than the real world. Anne Rice
However inadequate our ideas of causal efficacy may be, we are less wide of the mark when we say that our ideas and feelings have it, than the Automatists are when they say they haven’t it. As in the night all cats are gray, so in the darkness of metaphysical criticism all causes are obscure. But one has no right to pull the pall over the psychic half of the subject only . . . whilst in the same breath one dogmatizes about material causation as if Hume, Kant, and Lotze had never been born. William James
We all have to die a bit every now and then and usually it's so gradual that we end up more alive than ever. Infinitely old and infinitely alive. Roberto Bolano
