Them Quotes (page 345)

He had lived (without being aware of it) on those spiritual truths that he had sucked in with his mother's milk, but he had thought, not merely without recognition of these truths, but studiously ignoring them. Leo Tolstoy
there was not much distinction between losing a friend and a lover: it was all about intimacy. One moment, you had someone to share your biggest triumph, and fatal flaws with; the next minute, you had to keep them bottled inside. Jodi Picoult
Sherman Alexie quote: "You have to love somebody that much to also hate them that..."
You have to love somebody that much to also hate them that much, too. (191) Sherman Alexie
Cheating is easy. There's no swank to infidelity. To borrow against the trust someone has placed in you costs nothing at first. You get away with it, you take a little more and a little more until there is no more to draw on. Oddly, your hands should be full with all that taking but when you open them there's nothing there. Jeanette Winterson
A monkey was carrying two handfuls of peas. One little pea dropped out. He tried to pick it up, and split twenty. He tried to pick up the twenty, and split them all. Then he lost his temper, scattered the peas in all directions and ran away Leo Tolstoy
My Faith is in the Younger Generation, the Modern Generation, out of them will come my workers. They will work out the whole problem, like Lions. Swami Vivekananda
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "Children can be your heartache. But that doesn't matter, you..."
Children can be your heartache. But that doesn't matter, you have to go on and have them . . . it works out. Barbara Kingsolver
Then I could not help wondering what the watching gods thought of us, with our clever masks and our jokes. What we think of crickets, perhaps, whose singing we hear with pleasure, though some of us smash them with our heels when they venture into sight. Gene Wolfe
They think they're normal, because they all do the same thing. Well, I'm going to pretend that I have drunk from the same well as them. Paulo Coelho
I think your mythology would call them fallen angels. War and hate are their business, and one of their chief weapons is un-Naming - making people not know who they are. If someone knows who he is, really knows, then he doesn't need to hate. That's why we still need Namers, because there are places throughout the universe like your planet Earth. When everyone is really and truly Named, then the Echthroi will be vanquished. Madeleine L'Engle
Tennessee Williams quote: "All pretty girls are a trap, a pretty trap, and men expect..."
All pretty girls are a trap, a pretty trap, and men expect them to be. Tennessee Williams
Sleep occupies a third of our life. It is the consolation to the woes of our days or the woe of their pleasures; but I have never found that sleep was a rest. After a swoon of a few minutes a new life begins, freed from conditions of time and space, and doubtless like the life which awaits us after death. Who knows whether there does not exist a link between these two existences, and whether it is not possible for the soul now to bind them together? Gerard De Nerval
Orson Scott Card quote: "Human beings are free except when humanity needs them."
Human beings are free except when humanity needs them. Orson Scott Card
Although the human heart is selfish and arrogant, so many struggle against their selfishness and learn humility; because of them, as long as there is life, there is hope that beauty lost can be rediscovered, that what has been reviled can be redeemed. Dean Koontz
Robert James Waller quote: "The old dreams were good dreams; the didn't work out, but I'm..."
The old dreams were good dreams; the didn't work out, but I'm glad I had them. - "The Bridges of Madison County" Robert James Waller
