Than Quotes (page 602)

So I am nineteen years old and don’t usually know what I’m doing, snap my thoughts out of the printed page, get my looks from other eyes, do not overtake dotards and cripples in the street for fear I will depress them with my agility, love watching children and animals at play but wouldn’t mind seeing a beggar kicked or a little girl run over because it’s all experience, dislike myself and sneer at a world less nice and less intelligent than me. I take it this is fairly routine? Martin Amis
Few things are sadder than encountering a person who knows exactly what he should do, yet cannot muster enough energy to do it. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Do you have any idea how many lives we must have gone through before we even got the first idea that there is more to life than eating, or fighting, or power in the Flock? A thousand lives, Jon, ten thousand! Richard Bach
Once you left Easterly, you saw the world was full of these people: ticket sellers, snack bar clerks. They assumed they were better than you just because they knew their own routines. Wally Lamb
Then my mother shocked me. She said, "All those things you want from your relationship, Liz? I have always wanted those things, too." In that moment, it was as if my strong mother reached across the table, opened her fist and finally showed me the handful of bullets she'd had to bite over the decades in order to stay happily married (and she is happily married, all considerations weighed) to my father... Continuing with this unprecedented string of intimacies, my mother said, "You have to... Elizabeth Gilbert
Fathering imposed an obligation that was more than your money, your body, or your time, a presence neither physical nor measurable by clocks: open-ended, eternal, and invisible, like the commitment of gravity to the stars. Michael Chabon
David Foster Wallace quote: "There's more to life than sitting there interfacing, it might..."
There's more to life than sitting there interfacing, it might bea newsflash to you. David Foster Wallace
To be quite candid? and what I am going to say now is something I have never said before, and I hope that it provokes a salutary chill? I know more than I can express in words, and the little I can express would not have been expressed, had I not known more. Vladimir Nabokov
Emiliano Zapata quote: "I would rather die standing than live on my knees"
I would rather die standing than live on my knees Emiliano Zapata
Jodi Picoult quote: "I loved Alex so much that it was easier to let him hurt me..."
I loved Alex so much that it was easier to let him hurt me than to watch him hurt himself. Jodi Picoult
Rosenfeld went to work for the Herald Tribune after his graduation from Syracuse University and has always been an editor, never a reporter. He was inclined to worry that too many reporters on the metropolitan staff were incompetent, and thought even the best reporters could be saved from self-destruction only by the skills of an editor. His natural distrust of reporters was particularly acute on the Watergate story, where the risks were very great, and he was in the uncomfortable position of... Carl Bernstein
Perplext in faith, but pure in deeds, At last he beat his music out. There lives more faith in honest doubt, Believe me, than in half the creeds. He fought his doubts and gather'd strength, He would not make his judgment blind, He faced the spectres of the mind. And laid them: thus he came at length. To find a stronger faith his own; And Power was with him in the night, Which makes the darkness and the light, And dwells not in the light alone, Alfred Lord Tennyson
We're even more dazed than usual. Here we sit, empty, bewildered, contented. We have nothing to talk about, because nothing happens to us anymore, we're too poor, maybe life is sick of us. Why not? Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Ayn Rand quote: "To me-the foulest man on earth, more contemptible than a..."
To me-the foulest man on earth, more contemptible than a criminal, is the man who rejects men for being too good. Ayn Rand
Steve Jobs thus became the greatest business executive of our era, the one most certain to be remembered a century from now. History will place him in the pantheon right next to Edison and Ford. More than anyone else of this time, he made products that were completely innovative, combining the power of poetry and processors. With a ferocity that could make working with him as unsettling as it was inspiring, he also built the world's most creative company. And he was able to infuse into its... Walter Isaacson
