Oscar Wilde quote: "Moderation is a fatal thing. Enough is as bad as a meal. More..."
Moderation is a fatal thing. Enough is as bad as a meal. More than enough is as good as a feast. Oscar Wilde
Let us not forget that the reasons for human actions are usually incalculably more complex and diverse than we tend to explain them later, and are seldom clearly manifest. Fyodor Dostoevsky
For any kind of reading I think better than leaving a blank still a blank, because the mind must receive a degree of enlargement and obtain a little strength by a slight exertion of its thinking powers; besides, even the productions that are only addressed to the imagination, raise the reader a little above the gross gratification of appetites, to which the mind has not given a shade of delicacy. Mary Wollstonecraft
Max—you have a bigger mission than finding the flock's parents. Focus on helping the whole world, not just your friends. I held my wings steady, coasting for a long, long way on a warm updraft. It was like floating on a cloud, the best feeling you can imagine. I wish you could try it with me. Maybe next time. You know, Voice, I thought finally, my friends are my world. James Patterson
Anne Bronte quote: "I would rather have your friendship than the love of any other..."
I would rather have your friendship than the love of any other woman in the world. Anne Bronte
The best part of a Mr. Goodbar is not the wrapper, is it? No, and the best part of a Coke is not the can. On those nights when you lie awake, either man or boy, wondering about yourself, peeling away one layer of oddness after another, you should remember and always be grateful that the woefully imperfect person that you are, with all your contradictions and unworthy desires, is not the best of you, any more than the wrapper is the best part of a Mr. Goodbar. -Odd Thomas - Odd Apocalypse by... Dean Koontz
Many have no desire to be in it, because their work does not interest them, providing them with neither challenge nor satisfaction, and has no other merit in their eyes than that it leads to a pay-packet at the end of the week. E. F. Schumacher
So Crake never remembered his dreams. It's Snowman that remembers them instead. Worse than remembers: he's immersed in them, he'd wading through them, he's stuck in them. Every moment he's lived in the past few months was dreamed first by Crake. No wonder Crake screamed so much. Margaret Atwood
Virginia C. Andrews quote: "Life offers more than one chance, Cathy, you know that."
Life offers more than one chance, Cathy, you know that. Virginia C. Andrews
Pat Conroy quote: "In Charleston, more than elsewhere, you get the feeling that..."
In Charleston, more than elsewhere, you get the feeling that the twentieth century is a vast, unconscionable mistake. Pat Conroy
Few things build a person up like affirmation. According to Webster’s New World Dictionary, Third College Edition (Simon and Schuster, 1991), the word affirm comes from ad firmare, which means “to make firm.” So when you affirm people, you make firm within them the things you see about them. Do that often enough, and the belief that solidifies within them will become stronger than the doubts they have about themselves. John C. Maxwell
Andrea Dworkin quote: "How can anyone love someone who is less than a full person,..."
How can anyone love someone who is less than a full person, unless love itself is domination per se? Andrea Dworkin
J. K. Rowling quote: "He didn’t know what he was going to — but it had to be better..."
He didn’t know what he was going to — but it had to be better than what he was leaving behind. J. K. Rowling
The knot of her hands and the pulses in her throat rejected any possibility that their meeting might be a casual one. But, of course, she could not explain, nor was her face of any more assistance than her tongue; in fact, as she herself knew, in moments of stress she could resemble a congested turkey. Patrick White
Nonsense wakes up the brain cells. And it helps develop a sense of humor, which is awfully important in this day and age. Humor has a tremendous place in this sordid world. It's more than just a matter of laughing. If you can see things out of whack, then you can see how things can be in whack. Dr. Seuss
