Thing Quotes (page 745)

Come to us Father, in the watches of the night. Come to us as you always came, bringing to us the invincible sustenance of your strength, the limitless treasure of your bounty, the tremendous structure of your life that will shape all lost and broken things on earth again into a golden pattern of exultancy and joy. Thomas Wolfe
I thence invoke my thy aid to my adventurous song, That with no middle flight intends to soar above the Aonian mount, while it pursues Things unattempted yet in prose or rhyme. John Milton
The second surprise came on the heels of the first when she noted the only thing keeping her from rolling off the bed was the arm that Shawn had banded around her. He’d sprawled himself in the middle of the mattress, shoving her to the outer edge. But, she thought, at least he was considerate enough to see that she stayed there and didn’t fall on her face. Nora Roberts
With the wise man, what he has does not cease to be enjoyable because some one else has something else. Envy, in fact, is one form of vice, partly moral, partly intellectual, which consists in seeing things never in themselves but only in their relations Bertrand Russell
I repeat, I repeat with emphasis: all "direct" persons and men of action are active just because they are stupid and limited. How explain that? I will tell you: in consequence of their limitation they take immediate and secondary causes for primary ones, and in that way persuade themselves more quickly and easily than other people do that they have found an infallible foundation for their activity, and their minds are at ease and you know that is the chief thing. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Charles Dickens quote: "How slight a thing will disturb the equanimity of our frail..."
How slight a thing will disturb the equanimity of our frail minds! Charles Dickens
Douglas Adams quote: "He didn't know why he had become president of the galaxy,..."
He didn't know why he had become president of the galaxy, except that it seemed a fun thing to be. Douglas Adams
It's just a feeling I have. What you see with your eyes is not necessarily real. My enemy is, among other things, the me inside me. Haruki Murakami
You know, it's a funny thing. The only Romance language Felipe doesn't happen to speak is Italian. But I go ahead and say it to him anyway, just as we're about to jump. I say: 'Attraversiamo.'Let's cross over. Elizabeth Gilbert
Alan Moore quote: "With so much chaos, someone will do something stupid. And when..."
With so much chaos, someone will do something stupid. And when they do, things will turn nasty Alan Moore
People are strange: They are constantly angered by trivial things, but on a major matter like totally wasting their lives, they hardly seem to notice. Charles Bukowski
Love - true love - is a precious thing. It is painful, uncomfortable, makes fools of us all, but it is what breathes meaning and color and purpose into our lives. Kate Mosse
But that's how it is when you start wanting to have things. Now, I just look at them, and when I go away I carry them in my head. Then my hands are always free, because I don't have to carry a suitcase. Tove Jansson
Salman Rushdie quote: "It is all for love. Which is a wonderful and dashing matter...."
It is all for love. Which is a wonderful and dashing matter. But which can also be a very foolish thing. Salman Rushdie
I tell you, Mr. Okada, a cold beer at the end of the day is the best thing life has to offer. Some choosy people say that a too cold beer doesn’t taste good, but I couldn’t disagree more. The first beer should be so cold you can’t even taste it. The second one should be a little less chilled, but I want that first one to be like ice. I want it to be so cold my temples throb with pain. This is my own personal preference of course. Haruki Murakami
