Than Quotes (page 586)

On the next page she came to a spell "for the refreshment of the spirit". The pictures were fewer here but very beautiful. And what Lucy found herself reading was more like a story than a spell. It went on for three pages and before she had read to the bottom of the page she had forgotten that she was reading at all. She was living in the story as if it were real, and all the pictures were real too. When she had got to the third page and come to the end, she said, "That is the loveliest... C. S. Lewis
George R. R. Martin quote: "He had found over the years that silence sometimes yielded..."
He had found over the years that silence sometimes yielded more than questions. And so it was this time. George R. R. Martin
Roddy Doyle quote: "It’s the only thing sexier than a sexy woman. A sexy woman..."
It’s the only thing sexier than a sexy woman. A sexy woman cooking fuckin’ sausages. Roddy Doyle
Art too is just a way of living, and however one lives, one can, without knowing, prepare for it; in everything real one is closer to it, more its neighbor, than in the unreal half-artistic professions, which, while they pretend to be close to art, in practice deny and attack the existence of all art - as, for example, all of journalism does and almost all criticism and three quarters of what is called (and wants to be called) literature. Rainer Maria Rilke
Helen Keller quote: "Walkin in the dark with a friend is better than walking alone..."
Walkin in the dark with a friend is better than walking alone in the light. Helen Keller
Arthur Conan Doyle quote: "It is more than possible; it is probable."
It is more than possible; it is probable. Arthur Conan Doyle
Ayn Rand quote: "Never Consume more than you produce."
Never Consume more than you produce. Ayn Rand
You say that my way of thinking cannot be tolerated? What of it? The man who alters his way of thinking to suit othere is a fool. My way of thinking is the result of my reflections. It is part of my inner being, the way I am made. I do not contradict them, and would not even if I wished to. For my system, which you disapprove of is also my greatest comfort in life, the source of all my happiness -it means more to me than my life itself. Marquis de Sade
...those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say, Napoleonic times. Kurt Vonnegut
You don't need to be told some things. You can sometimes tell more by a man's silence and the set of his head than by what he says. Wendell Berry
...but I suddenly realized what small towns are. They are places where you grow up with the peculiar -- you live next to the strange and the unlikely for so long that everything and everyone become commonplace. My cousins were both small-towners and outsiders; they had not grown up with Own Meany, who was so strange to them that he inspired awe - yet they were no more likely to fall upon him, or to devise ways to torture him, than it was likely for a herd of cattle to attack a cat. John Irving
A genuine primary is a fight within the family of the party - and, like any family fight, is apt to be more bitter and leave more enduring wounds than battle with the November enemy. Theodore White
It was as though I had one map inside my head and it led to the man who was waiting for me. Someone who was alone? maybe even more alone? than I wa? Alice Hoffman
Then the wooden benches along the walls, where so many outcasts had slept, would be lit by a sort of slow, clocked lightning til the bulb steadied and fastened its tiny feral fury upon the center of the room like a single sullen and manic eye. To burn on there with a steady hate. Til morning wearied and dimmed it away to nothing more than some sort of little old lost gray child of a district-station moon, all its hatred spent. Nelson Algren
Nothing could be more absurd than moral lessons at such a moment! Oh, self-satisfied people: with what proud self-satisfaction such babblers are ready to utter their pronouncements! If they only knew to what degree I myself understand all the loathsomeness of my present condition, they wouldn't have the heart to teach me. Fyodor Dostoevsky
