Thing Quotes (page 608)

Carlo is safe because I don't really love him that much. If he stopped wanting me around one day, it wouldn't be so terrible. I wouldn't die. Hallie, I realize how that sounds. I feel small and ridiculous and hemmed in on every side by the need to be safe. All I want is to be like you, to walk into a country of chickens and land mines and call that home, and have it be home. How do you just charge ahead, always doing the right thing, even if you have to do it alone with people staring? Barbara Kingsolver
We bury things so deep we no longer remember there was anything to bury. Our bodies remember. Our neurotic states remember. But we don't. Jeanette Winterson
We have one of those conversations where every thing clicks, meshes, corresponds, locks, where even our pauses, even our punctuation marks, seem to be nodding in agreement. Nick Hornby
Practicality is a difficult thing to find; it does not drop down from heaven. And for the last two hundred years we have been divorced from all practical life. Ideas, if you like, are fermenting, and desire for good exists, though it’s in a childish form, and honesty you may find, although there are crowds of brigands. Anyway, there’s no practicality. Practicality goes well shod. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Anthony Kiedis quote: "I'm still a little bent, a little crooked, but all things..."
I'm still a little bent, a little crooked, but all things considered, I can't complain. Anthony Kiedis
I cannot believe they haven't yet come up with a better screening process than the mammogram. If a man had to put his special parts inside a clamp to test him for anything, I think they would come up with a new plan before the doctor finished saying, "Put that thing there so I can crush it. Ellen DeGeneres
We asked him many questions concerning all these things, to which he answered very willingly; we made no inquiries after monsters, than which nothing is more common; for everywhere one may hear of ravenous dogs and wolves, and cruel men-eaters, but it is not so easy to find states that are well and wisely governed. Thomas More
L. M. Montgomery quote: "Why is it that the nicest things never are healthy?"
Why is it that the nicest things never are healthy? L. M. Montgomery
When you know to laugh and when to look upon things as too absurd to take seriously, the other person is ashamed to carry through even if he was serious about it. Eleanor Roosevelt
Nobody knew what form of intimidation Mr. Radley employed to keep Boo out of sight, but Jem figured that Mr. Radley kept him chained to the bed most of the time. Atticus said no, it wasn't that sort of thing, that there were other ways of making people into ghosts. Harper Lee
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "Loving humility is marvelously strong, the strongest of all..."
Loving humility is marvelously strong, the strongest of all things, and there is nothing like it. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Bob Dylan quote: "When are you gonna wake up and strengthened the things that..."
When are you gonna wake up and strengthened the things that remain. Bob Dylan
Wilkie Collins quote: "In all my experience along the dirtiest ways of this dirty..."
In all my experience along the dirtiest ways of this dirty little world, I have nver met with such a thing as a trifle yet. Wilkie Collins
The true test of any scholar's work is not what his contemporaries say, but what happens to his work in the next 25 or 50 years. And the thing that I will really be proud of is if some of the work I have done is still cited in the text books long after I am gone. Milton Friedman
You do not need to belong to the cat for a long time to realize the main thing that cats like to do is to wrap theirselves up in mystery, perhaps only except for a hobby of jumbling up everything that is in order. And if the cat can, and usually so, make a great mystery of where it was when you were searching for it even if a moment ago it was sitting by your side, do not have any doubts: its ancestors had a great pleasure to surround its origin by mystery. Cleveland Amory
