Thing Quotes (page 868)

My friend Terry says that when you need to make a decision, in your work or otherwise, and you don’t know what to do, just do one thing or the other, because the worst that can happen is that you will have made a terrible mistake. Anne Lamott
The life of the individual has meaning only insofar as it aids in making the life of every living thing nobler and more beautiful. Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value, to which all other values are subordinate. Albert Einstein
Ursula K. Le Guin quote: "The first thing I can remember clearly is writing the way into..."
The first thing I can remember clearly is writing the way into the secret room. Ursula K. Le Guin
I think we are well-advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind's door at 4 a. m. of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends. We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget. We forget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed, forget... Joan Didion
When a man asserts his independence and feels that now at last he's on his own. When you felt like that, then the very air seemed too crowded to breathe; a complete fulness seemed to be excluding you from a place which, nevertheless, you were unable to leave.

It became not a load but a medium, a sort of splendour as of eatable, drinkable, breathable gold, which fed and carried you and not only poured... C. S. Lewis
But she wasn’t around, and that’s the thing when your parents die, you feel like instead of going in to every fight with backup, you are going into every fight alone. Mitch Albom
The intelligible forms of ancient poets, The fair humanities of old religion, The Power, the Beauty, and the Majesty. That had their haunts in dale or piny mountain, Or forest, by slow stream, or pebbly spring, Or chasms and watery depths; all these have vanished; They live no longer in the faith of reason; But still the heart doth need a language; still. Doth the old instinct bring back the old names; Spirits or gods that used to share this earth. With man as with their friend; and at this... Samuel Taylor Coleridge
IT was the most horrible, the most repellent thing she had ever seen, far more nauseating then anything she had ever imagined with her consious mind, or that had ever tormented her in her most terrible nightmares. Madeleine L'Engle
Morality is not a large, constructed *thing* you have or have not, but simply a capacity. Something you carry with you in your brain and in your hands. Barbara Kingsolver
Warren Buffett quote: "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minuted to..."
It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minuted to ruin it. If you think about that you'll do things differently. Warren Buffett
George Will quote: "Football combines two of the worst things in American life. It..."
Football combines two of the worst things in American life. It is violence punctuated by committee meetings. George Will
Robert Kennedy quote: "The purpose of life is to contribute in some way to making..."
The purpose of life is to contribute in some way to making things better. Robert Kennedy
They say that there are moments that open up your life like a walnut cracked, that change your point of view so that you never look at things the same way again. Jodi Picoult
Quick now, here, now, always-A condition of complete simplicity(Costing not less than everything)And all shall be well and. All manner of thing shall be well. When the tongues of flame are in-folded. Into the crowned knot of fire. And the fire and the rose are one. T. S. Eliot
Thomas Wolfe quote: "I have to see a thing a thousand times before I see it once."
I have to see a thing a thousand times before I see it once. Thomas Wolfe
