Thing Quotes (page 768)

Unfailing faith is fortified through prayer. Your heartfelt pleadings are important to Him. Think of the intense and impassioned prayers of the Prophet Joseph Smith during his dreadful days of incarceration in Liberty Jail. The Lord responded by changing the Prophet’s perspective. He said, ‘Know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good. Russell M. Nelson
Sitting with her on Sunday evening? a wet Sunday evening? the very time of all others when if a friend is at hand the heart must be opened, and every thing tol? Jane Austen
As I looked at her there among the pumpkins I was overcome with the color and the intesity of my life. In these moments we are driven to try and hoard happiness by taking photographs, but I know better. The improtant thing was what the colors stood for, the taste of hard apples and the existence of Lena and the exact quality of the sun on the last warm day in October. A photograph would have flattened the scene into a happy moment, whereas what I felt was rapture. The fleeting certainty that... Barbara Kingsolver
Look at me, he said to her. His arms and legs jerked. Look at me. You got your wish. I have learned how to love. And it’s a terrible thing. I’m broken. My heart is broken. Help me. The old woman turned and hobbled away. Come back, thought Edward. Fix me Kate DiCamillo
John Lennon quote: "I put things down on sheets of paper and stuff them in my..."
I put things down on sheets of paper and stuff them in my pockets. When I have enough, I have a book. John Lennon
Nathaniel Hawthorne quote: "it is a curious subject of observation and inquiry, whether..."
it is a curious subject of observation and inquiry, whether hatred and love be not the same thing at bottom. Nathaniel Hawthorne
…it charms mere eyesight to believe The nearest thing not trees Is the sky, into which The trees reach, opening their luminous new leaves… and thought finds rest beneath a brightened tree In which, unseen, a warbler feeds and sings. His song’s Small shapely melody Comes down irregularly, as all light’s givings come.” Sabbaths 1999 III Wendell Berry
Charles Bukowski quote: "And I said to myself that he was the first thing that I had..."
And I said to myself that he was the first thing that I had ever missed in my life. Charles Bukowski
I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell truths. I tell what ought to be truth. Tennessee Williams
If you quietly accept and go along no matter what your feelings are, ultimately you internalize what you're saying, because it's too hard to believe one thing and say another. I can see it very strikingly in my own background. Go to any elite university and you are usually speaking to very disciplined people, people who have been selected for obedience. And that makes sense. If you've resisted the temptation to tell the teacher, "You're an asshole," which maybe he or she is, and if you don't... Noam Chomsky
Charlotte Bronte quote: "A little roving, solitary thing."
A little roving, solitary thing. Charlotte Bronte
Frederic Bastiat quote: "The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is, not to be..."
The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is, not to be skillfully attacked, but to be ineptly defended. Frederic Bastiat
Terry Prachett quote: "Child. That was a terrible thing to say to anyone who was..."
Child. That was a terrible thing to say to anyone who was almost thirteen. Terry Prachett
There is no comparison between us. What Kao keeps in view is the spiritual mechanism. In making sure of the essential, he forgets the homely details; intent on the inward qualities, he loses sight of the external. He sees what he wants to see, and not what he does not want to see. He looks at the things he ought to look at, and neglects those that need not be looked at. So clever a judge of horses is Kao, that he has it in him to judge something better than horses. J. D. Salinger
It was too much work to remember things you might not have again, and so one by one they opened up their hands and let them go. Ann Patchett
