Thinks Quotes (page 715)

I'm a very controversial figure in the Christian world. I don't believe if you're gay or you have a drink or you dance, you're going to hell. I don't think that's the kind of God we have. The Pat Robertsons and Jerry Falwells of the world are scary. I want to be a Christian like Christ - loving and accepting of other people. Kristin Chenoweth
I do not accept any absolute formulas for living. No preconceived code can see ahead to everything that can happen in a man's life. As we live, we grow and our beliefs change. They must change. So I think we should live with this constant discovery. We should be open to this adventure in heightened awareness of living. We should stake our whole existence on our willingness to explore and experience. Martin Buber
But when a man suspects any wrong it sometimes happens that if he be already involved in the matter he insensibly strives to cover up his suspicions even from himself. And much this way it was with me. I said nothing and tried to think nothing. Herman Melville
People want pretty much the same things: They wanted to be happy. Most young people seemed to think that those things lay somewhere in the future, while most older people believed they lay in the past. Nicholas Sparks
Sam Levenson quote: "It's simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say..."
It's simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and say the opposite. Sam Levenson
If the reader thinks he is done, now, and that this book has no moral to it, he is in error. The moral of it is this: If you are of any account, stay at home and make your way by faithful diligence; but if you are "no account," go away from home, and then you will *have* to work, whether you want to or not. Thus you become a blessing to your friends by ceasing to be a nuisance to them - if the people you go among suffer by the operation. Mark Twain
Brian Aldiss quote: "There are two kinds of writer: those that make you think, and..."
There are two kinds of writer: those that make you think, and those that make you wonder. Brian Aldiss
David McCullough quote: "I think that we need history as much as we need bread or water..."
I think that we need history as much as we need bread or water or love. David McCullough
It was all so very businesslike that one watched it fascinated. It was pork-making by machinery, pork-making by applied mathematics. And yet somehow the most matter-of-fact person could not help thinking of the hogs; they were so innocent, they came so very trustingly; and they were so very human in their protests - and so perfectly within their rights! They had done nothing to deserve it; and it was adding insult to injury, as the thing was done here, swinging them up in this... Upton Sinclair
Sylvia Plath quote: "I am sure there are things that can't be cured by a good bath..."
I am sure there are things that can't be cured by a good bath but I can't think of one. Sylvia Plath
Peter S. Beagle quote: "A rhinoceros is as ugly as a human being, and it too is going..."
A rhinoceros is as ugly as a human being, and it too is going to die, but at least it never thinks that it is beautiful. Peter S. Beagle
A lot of young girls think that the opposite of fake is rudeness. And just as ugly as fake is, so is saying whatever is on your mind because it's the truth. Tyra Banks
Although I didn't think so at the time, things were a lot simpler in 1969. All you had to do to express yourself was throw rocks at riot police. But with today's sophistication, who's in a position to throw rocks? Who's going to brave what tear gas? C'mon, that's the way it is. Everything is rigged, tied into that massive capital web, and beyond this web there's another web. Nobody's going anywhere. You throw a rock and it'll come right back at you. Haruki Murakami
People always think that happiness is a faraway thing? something complicated and hard to get. Yet, what little things can make it up. Betty Smith
I think that in all descriptions of the good life here on earth we must assume a certain basis of animal vitality and animal instinct; without this, life becomes tame and uninteresting. Civilization should be something added to this, not substituted for it; the ascetic saint and the detached sage fail in this respect to be complete human beings. A small number of them may enrich a community; but a world composed of them would die of boredom. Bertrand Russell
