Thing Quotes (page 839)

And He [God] and you are two things of such a kind that if you really get into any kind of touch with Him you will, in fact, be humble--delightedly humble, feeling the infinite relief of having for once got rid of all the silly nonsense about your own dignity which has made you restless and unhappy all your life. C. S. Lewis
The will of God is always a bigger thing than we bargain for, but we must believe that whatever it involves, it is good, acceptable and perfect. Jim Elliot
Jeffrey Eugenides quote: "Two things mania did were to keep you up all night and to..."
Two things mania did were to keep you up all night and to enable nonstop sex: pretty much the definition of college. Jeffrey Eugenides
Find a way to say yes to things. Say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learn something new. Yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. Even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new, and make a difference. Yes lets you stand out in a crowd, be the optimist, see the glass full, be the one everyone comes to. Yes is what keeps us... Eric Schmidt
Then he skipped out, and saw Sid just starting up the outside stairway that led to the back rooms on the second floor. Clods were handy and the air was full of them in a twinkling. They raged around Sid like a hail-storm; and before Aunt Polly could collect her surprised faculties and sally to the rescue, six or seven clods had taken personal effect, and Tom was over the fence and gone. There was a gate, but as a general thing he was too crowded for time to make use of it. His soul was at... Mark Twain
Gabriel Garcia Marquez quote: "The only thing worse than bad health is a bad name."
The only thing worse than bad health is a bad name. Gabriel Garcia Marquez

The first thing that distinguishes a writer is that he is most alive when alone. Martin Amis
Mignon McLaughlin quote: "Character is what emerges from all the little things you were..."
Character is what emerges from all the little things you were too busy to do yesterday, but did anyway. Mignon McLaughlin
I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together. I'm not sure where that is but I know what it is like. It's like Tiffany's. Audrey Hepburn
To a Young Poet. Time cannot break the bird's wing from the bird. Bird and wing together. Go down, one feather. No thing that ever flew, Not the lark, not you, Can die as others do. Edna St. Vincent Millay
History is not made by great dreams, but by the petty wants of all respectable, moderately thievish and selfish people, that is, of everyone. All our ideas, loves, plans, heroic ideals, all these lofty things are worthless. Karel Capek
I think that scientific persons of the future will scoff at scientific persons of the present. They will scoff because scientific persons of the present thought so many important things were superstitious. Kurt Vonnegut
I took comfort, as a kid, in knowing that things had always been as awful and as wonderful as they were now, that the world was always on the edge of total destruction. Michael Chabon
Your suns and worlds are not within my ken, I merely watch the plaguey state of men. The little god of earth remains the same queer sprite. As on the first day, or in primal light. His life would be less difficult, poor thing, Without your gift of heavenly glimmering; He calls it Reason, using light celestial. Just to outdo the beasts in being bestial. To me he seems, with deference to Your Grace, One of those crickets, jumping round the place, Who takes his flying leaps, with legs so long,... Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
But by the time Madeleine reached the age that Alwyn had been then, she realized that her sister's iconoclasm and liberationist commitments had just been part of a trend. Alwyn had done the things she had done and voiced the political opinions she'd voiced because all her friends were acting and talking the same way. Jeffrey Eugenides
