Thing Quotes (page 785)

He would slay a dragon, if there were such a thing, just to see that smile. He knew he would never want anyone else for as long as he lived. He would rather spend the rest of his life alone than with someone else. There could be no one else. Terry Goodkind
Long before morning I knew that what I was seeking to discover was a thing I'd always known. That all courage was a form of constancy. That it is always himself that the coward abandoned first. After this all other betrayals come easily. Cormac McCarthy

No qualifications, no exceptions. Jose Rizal
A great writer picks up on those things that matter. It’s almost like their radar is attuned to the most significant moments. Alain de Botton
I can promise you none of these things. No sphere of usefulness; you are not needed there at all. No scope of your talents; only forgiveness for having perverted them. No atmosphere of inquiry, for I will bring you to the land not of questions but of answers, and you shall see the face of God. (pg 40) C. S. Lewis
What an incorrigible nonentity one must be to play only one role in life, to occupy only one place in society, to always mean one and the same thing! Boris Pasternak
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "There is no great and no small. To the Soul that maketh all:..."
