Than Quotes (page 513)

Authority seems to be nothing other than the vanishing-point of textuality. And Nature is authority whose textual origins have been forgotten. Barbara Johnson
Jeanette Winterson quote: "It takes much longer to leave the psychic place than the..."
It takes much longer to leave the psychic place than the physical place." (p.120) Jeanette Winterson
Christopher Hitchens quote: "Evolution is, as well as smarter than we are, infinitely more..."
Evolution is, as well as smarter than we are, infinitely more callous and cruel, and also capricious. Christopher Hitchens
As much as I want you and want to be with you and part of you, I can't tear myself away from the realness of my responsibilities. If you force me, physically or mentally, to go with you, as I said earlier, I cannot fight that. I don't have the strength, given my feelings for you. In spite of what I said about not taking the road away from you, I'd go because of my own selfish wanting of you. But please don't make me. Don't make me give this up, my responsibilities. I cannot do that and live... Robert James Waller
The human mind is generally far more eager to praise and dispraise than to describe and define. It wants to make every distinction a distinction of value; hence those fatal critics who can never point out the differing quality of two poets without putting them in an order of preference as if they were candidates for a prize. C. S. Lewis
Franklin D. Roosevelt quote: "We and all others who believe in freedom as deeply as we do,..."
We and all others who believe in freedom as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees. Franklin D. Roosevelt
Drink up, boys, drink up and don’t worry, if we finish this bottle we’ll go down and buy another one. Of course, it won’t be the same as the one we’ve got now, but it’ll still be better than nothing. Ah, what a shame they don’t make Los Suicidas mezcal anymore, what a shame that time pases, don’t you think? what a shame that we die, and get old, and everything good goes galloping away from us. Roberto Bolano
John Maynard Keynes quote: "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."
Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. John Maynard Keynes
Marquis de Sade quote: "Can we become other than what we are?"
Can we become other than what we are? Marquis de Sade
Howard Schultz quote: "My passion. My commitment. This is the most important thing in..."
My passion. My commitment. This is the most important thing in my life other than my family. Howard Schultz
I don't see how being married could be any worse than listening to you talk for twenty years, but that still ain't much of a recommendation for it. Larry McMurtry
I'm as big as snob as they come, but money is a terrible barometer of a person's worth. The standard I used is what a person is choosing to do with his life. So for me a struggling musician (someone dedicated to their craft, not some slacker) is much better than some lame investment banker. And the fact that she lied seemed like she was ashamed. She dismissed my anger as if I were overreacting. Harvey Pekar
Somehow I should have been able to say how strong and resilient you were, what a patient and abiding and bonding force, the softness that proved in the long run stronger than what it seemed to yield to...You are at once a lasting presence and an unhealed wound. Wallace Stegner
I was going to rise, do some typing and coffee drinking in the kitchen all day since at that time work, work was my dominant thought, not love- not the pain which impels me to write this even while I don't want to, the pain which won't be eased by writing of this but heightened, but which will be redeemed, and if only it were a dignified pain and could be placed somewhere other than this black gutter of shame and loss and noisemaking folly in the night... /The Subterraneans Jack Kerouac
I refused to believe that love could take any other form than mine: I measured love by the extent of my jealousy, and by that standard of course she could not love me at all. Graham Greene
