Thinking Quotes (page 58)

To properly engage in magical thinking, I find you have to think of every possible ghastly scenario. That's the only way you outsmart fate. A. J. Jacobs
So if reality is all a spell, and you don't really want what you think you want... If you have no free will. You don't really know what you know. You don't really love who you only think you love. What do you have left to live for? Chuck Palahniuk
Do you think that I am a machine? That I can bear it? Do you think because I'm poor, plain, obsure, and little that I have no heart? That I'm without soul? I have as much heart as you and as much soul. And if God had given me as much beauty and wealth, I would make it as hard for you to leave me as it is now for me to leave you. Charlotte Bronte
Lao Tzu quote: "To know and yet (think) we do not know is the highest..."
To know and yet (think) we do not know is the highest (attainment); not to know (and yet think) we do know is a disease. Lao Tzu
Between birth and burial, we find ourselves in a comedy of mysteries. If you don't think life is mysterious, if you believe you have it all mapped out, you aren't paying attention or you've anesthetized yourself with booze or drugs, or with a comforting ideology. And if you don't think life's a comedy - well, friend, you might as well hurry along to that burial. The rest of us need people with whom we can laugh. -Odd Thomas -Odd Apocalypse by Dean Koontz pg 30 chapter 4 Dean Koontz
But soon," he cried, with sad and solemn enthusiasm, "I shall die, and what I now feel be no longer felt. Soon these burning miseries will be extinct. I shall ascend my funeral pyre triumphantly, and exult in the agony of the torturing flames. The light of that conflagration will fade away; my ashes will be swept into the sea by the winds. My spirit will sleep in peace, or if it thinks, it will not surely think thus. Farewell. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
That most Substance-addicted people are also addicted to thinking, meaning tehy have a compulsive and unhealthy relationship with their own thinking. That the cute Boston AA term for this is 'analysis paralysis.' ... That other people can often see things about you that you yourself canno see, even if those people are stupid ... That having a lot of money does not immunize people from suffering or fear. That trying to dance sober is a whole different kettle of fish. David Foster Wallace
I never think of stories as made things; I think of them as found things. As if you pull them out of the ground, and you just pick them up. Stephen King
I don't feel the slightest interest in the next world; I think it's here. And I think anything good that you're going to do, you should do for other people here and not so you can try to have a happy time in the next world. Katharine Hepburn
I will write things, he was thinking. I will write something meaningful and wonderful someday. I can do that. And I'll dedicate it to you because you're the first person who ever made me think I could. Anne Rice
The human mind is so limited it can only build an arbitrary heaven? and usually the physical comforts they endow it with are naively the kind that can be perceived as we humans perceive? nothing more. No: perhaps I will awake to find myself burning in hell. I think not. I think I will be snuffed out. Black is sleep; black is a fainting spell; and black is death, with no light, no waking. Sylvia Plath

And she liked me. She liked me. She liked me. She liked me. Or at least, I think she did. I think she did. Etc. Nick Hornby
It's hard for me to talk to her. All I can do when I look at her is think about the day when I won't be able to. So I spend all my time at school thinking about her, wishing I could see her right then, but when I get to her house, I don't know what to say. Nicholas Sparks
Woody Allen quote: "Don't think of death as an ending. Think of it as a really..."
Don't think of death as an ending. Think of it as a really effective way of cutting down your expenses. Woody Allen
Martin Luther quote: "It is better to think of church in the ale-house than to think..."
