Lynda Barry quote: "The thing I call ‘my mind’ seems to be kind of like a landlord..."
The thing I call ‘my mind’ seems to be kind of like a landlord that doesn’t really know its tenants. Lynda Barry
This is the sort of thing we should say by the fireside in the winter-time, as we lie on soft couches after a good meal, drinking sweet wine and crunching chickpeas: "Of what country are you, and how old are you, good sir? And how old were you when the Mede came? Herodotus
I miss you when you’re not there. When you’re happy, it makes me happy. But I could say the same thing about Charlie, Jacob. You’re family. I love you, but I’m not in love with you. Stephenie Meyer
Richard Russo quote: "His carefully calculated sincerity is almost entirely..."
His carefully calculated sincerity is almost entirely indistinguishable from the real thing. Richard Russo
The blossom is out in full now, it’s plum tree, it looks like apple blossom but it’s white. It’s the whitest, frothiest blossomest blossom that ever could be, and I can see it. Things are both more trivial than they ever were and more important than they ever were, and the difference between the trivial and the important doesn’t seem to matter. But the now-ness of everything is absolutely wondrous. Dennis Potter
The Holy Ghost causes out feelings to be more tender. We feel more charitable and compassionate. We are calmer. We have a greater capacity to love. People want to be around us because our very countenances radiate the influence of the Spirit. We are more godly in character. As a result, we are more sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Ghost and thus able to comprehend spiritual things. Ezra Taft Benson
There are only two things you can do when you're dressed like Barbie Does Bondage; you can be embarrassed or you can be aggressive. Guess what my choice was. Laurell K. Hamilton
It is to me a most affecting thing to hear myself prayed for, in particular as I do every day in the week, and disposes me to bear with more composure, some disagreeable circumstances that attend my situation. Abigail Adams
I know one thing for certain; it is much harder to tell whether you are lost than whether you were lost, for, on many occasions, where you are going is exactly where you are. On the other hand, if you often find that where you've been is not at all where you should have gone, and, since it's much more difficult to find your way back from someplace you've never left, I suggest you go there immediately and then decide. Norton Juster
In general, lives seem to veer abruptly from one thing to another, to jostle and bump, to squirm. A person heads in one direction, turns sharply in mid-course, stalls, drifts, starts up again. Nothing is ever known, and inevitably we come to a place quite different from the one we set out for. Paul Auster
Jodi Picoult quote: "I do know that there are some things, though, that occur..."
I do know that there are some things, though, that occur without a direct line of antecedents. Jodi Picoult
The people who keep asking if they can't lead a decent life without Christ, don't know what life is about; if they did they would know that 'a decent life' is mere machinery compared with the thing we men are really made for. C. S. Lewis
Louisa May Alcott quote: "Now and then, in this workaday world, things do happen in the..."
Now and then, in this workaday world, things do happen in the delightful storybook fashion, and what a comfort that is. Louisa May Alcott
The occurrence of an event is not the same thing as knowing what it is that one has lived through. Most people had not lived -- nor could it, for that matter, be said that they had died-- through any of their terrible events. They had simply been stunned by the hammer. They passed their lives thereafter in a kind of limbo of denied and unexamined pain. The great question that faced him this morning was whether or not had had ever, really, been present at his life. James Baldwin
Charles M. Schulz quote: "It's a mistake to try to avoid the unpleasant things in..."
It's a mistake to try to avoid the unpleasant things in life... But I'm beginning to consider it... Charles M. Schulz
