Thing Quotes (page 309)

The world is a great mart, my Holly, where all things are for sale to whom who bids the highest in the currency of our desires. H. Rider Haggard
Tom Robbins quote: "Existence can be rearranged. A man can be many things. I am..."
Existence can be rearranged. A man can be many things. I am special and free. And the world is round round round. Tom Robbins
Hospitality is gold in this City; you have to be clever to figure out how to be welcoming and defensive at the same time. When to love something and when to quit. If you don't know how, you can end up out of control or controlled by some outside thing like that hard case last winter. Toni Morrison
Putting things off is the biggest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future. The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow, and loses today. You are arranging what lies in Fortune's control, and abandoning what lies in yours. What are you looking at? To what goal are you straining? The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately. Lucius Annaeus Seneca
A sensible man will remember that the eyes may be confused in two ways - by a change from light to darkness or from darkness to light; and he will recognise that the same thing happens to the soul. Plato
Ernest Hemingway quote: "Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman, he thought. But..."
Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman, he thought. But that was the thing that I was born for. Ernest Hemingway
Well, coming out of the courthouse that night Miss Gates was-she goin' down the steps in front of us, you musta not seen her- she was talking with Miss Stephen Crawford. I heard her say it's time somebody taught 'em a lesson, they were gettin' way above themselves, an' the next thing they think they can do is marry us. Jem, how can you hate Hitler so bad an' then turn around and be ugly about folks right at home- Harper Lee
Neil Gaiman quote: "The man Jack was, above all things, a professional, or so he..."
The man Jack was, above all things, a professional, or so he told himself, Neil Gaiman
I didn't relate well to people my age. Maybe the truth was that I didn't relate well to people, period. Even my mother, who I was closer to than anyone else on the planet, was never in harmony with me, never on exactly the same page. Sometimes I wondered if I was seeing the same things through my eyes that the rest of the world was seeing through theirs. Maybe there was a glitch in my brain. Stephenie Meyer
Jack Kerouac quote: "The beauty of things must be that they end."
The beauty of things must be that they end. Jack Kerouac
Charles M. Schulz quote: "Bob Dylan will be thirty years old this month..."That's the..."
Bob Dylan will be thirty years old this month..."That's the most depressing thing I've ever heard. Charles M. Schulz
Herman Hesse quote: "If a man has nothing to eat, fasting is the smartest thing he..."
If a man has nothing to eat, fasting is the smartest thing he can do. Herman Hesse
Power rules the world, not opinion, but it is opinion that exploits power. It is power that makes opinion. To be easygoing can be a fine thing according to our opinion. Why? Because anyone who wants to dance the tightrope will be alone, and I can get together a stronger body of people to say there is nothing fine about it. Blaise Pascal
Isn't it absolutely essential to keep a fierce Left and fierce Right, both on their toes and each terrified of the other? That's how we get things done. C. S. Lewis
I am astonished, disappointed, pleased with myself. I am distressed, depressed, rapturous. I am all these things at once, and cannot add up the sum. I am incapable of determining ultimate worth or worthlessness; I have no judgment about myself and my life. There is nothing I am quite sure about. I have no definite convictions - not about anything, really. I know only that I was born and exist, and it seems to me that I have been carried along. I exist on the foundation or something I do not... Carl Jung
