Thing Quotes (page 335)

As was usual with him, he began with the least important thing and worked around and in toward the center where the meaning was. Flannery O'Connor
Going public was a difficult decision, and I had misgivings. My subjective experience was now an objective fact in the wider world. It didn't belong to just me anymore - though I quickly learned that it hadn't belonged to just me in the first place. More than a million Americans and their families were going through the same thing; some openly, some in secret due to concerns of being misunderstood and marginalized. Michael J. Fox
Take me home," she said, and the words hit me like a whip. I think I shook my head. "Take me home." There were levels of pain there, and subtlety, and an amazing cruelty. And I knew then that I'd never been hated, ever, as deeply or thoroughly as this wasted little girl hated me now, hated me for the way I'd looked, then looked away, beside Rubin's all-beer refrigerator. So--if that's the word--I did one of those things you do and never find out why, even though something in you knows you... William Gibson
Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort. There must be the will to produce a superior thing. John Ruskin
When I was young, I believed in three things: Marxism, the redemptive power of cinema, and dynamite. Now I just believe in dynamite. Sergio Leone
The best order of things, as I see it, is the one that includes me; to hell with the most perfect of worlds, if I'm not part of it. Denis Diderot
There were times when he sat watching the boy sleep that he would begin to sob uncontrollably but it wasn't about death. He wasn't sure what it was about but he thought it was about beauty or goodness. Things that he'd no longer any way to think about at all. Cormac McCarthy
Can I? Yeah. You bet I can. There's a million things in this world can't do. Couldn't hit a curve ball, even back in high school. Can't fix a leaky faucet. Can't roller-skate or make an F-chord on the guitar that sounds like anything but shit. I have tried twice to be married and couldn't do it either time. But if you want me to take you away, to scare you or involve you or make you cry or grin, yeah. I can. I can bring it to you and keep bringing it until you holler uncle. I am able. I CAN. Stephen King
Neal Stephenson quote: " you should not believe a thing only because you like to..."
... you should not believe a thing only because you like to believe it. We call that 'Diax's Rake' ... Neal Stephenson
Being sensible that I am unable to do any thing without God's help, I do humbly entreat Him, by His grace, to enable me to keep these Resolutions, so far as they are agreeable to His will, for Christ's sake. Jonathan Edwards
Milan Kundera quote: "Is goodwill so fragile, so precarious a thing, then? (Of..."
Is goodwill so fragile, so precarious a thing, then? (Of course, dear fellow, of course) Milan Kundera
William Shakespeare quote: "Is love a tender thing? It is too rough, Too rude, too..."
Is love a tender thing? It is too rough, Too rude, too boist'rous; and it pricks like thorn. William Shakespeare
To feel that your hours are filled to overflowing, that you can barely steal minutes enough for sleep, that the welfare of many is entrusted to you, that the world looks on and approves, that some good is always being done to others -- above all things some good to your country; -- that is happiness. Anthony Trollope
Henry David Thoreau quote: "Even the best things are not equal to their fame."
Even the best things are not equal to their fame. Henry David Thoreau
People have to be secure in order to transfer their money to you. Never forget that. How you make them secure is to not come at them from above (action, yang) telling them how marvelous the product is and how marvelous you are. Instead, work on their comfort zone first, keeping silent for the most part, leading things along effortlessly by asking questions (nonaction, yin). When you do get to talk, be sure to tell them that everything is cozy, safe, and secure. People need to hear that. ... Stuart Wilde
