Those Quotes (page 126)

This made me reflect, how vain an attempt it is for a man to endeavor to do himself honor among those who are out of all degree of equality or comparison with him. Jonathan Swift
I am a born antinomian. I am one of those who are made for exceptions, not for laws. But while I see that there is nothing wrong in what one does, I see that there is something wrong in what one becomes. Oscar Wilde
We have all become wayfarers and travellers marching on and on .... Yet, for those who can adapt themselves to this continuous journeying, there is no regret and they would not have it otherwise. A reture to the dull uneventful past is unthinkable. Jawaharlal Nehru
Rick Warren quote: "The purpose of influence is to speak up for those who don't..."
The purpose of influence is to speak up for those who don't have any influence. Rick Warren
If I am missed it will appear. I may be discovered by those who want to see me. I shall not be in any doubtful, or distant, or unapproachable region. Jane Austen
Thomas M. Disch quote: "All children... feel a demonic sympathy with those things that..."
All children... feel a demonic sympathy with those things that cause disorder in the grown-up world. Thomas M. Disch
I want to be with you as much as possible, Ronnie. You're smart and funny and you're honest. I trust you. I trust us. Yeah, I'm leaving and you're going back home. But neither of those things changes the way I feel about you. And my feelings aren't going to change simply because I'm going to Vanderbilt. I love you more than I've ever loved anyone. Nicholas Sparks
What I didn't say was that each time I picked up a German dictionary or a German book, the very sight of those dense, black, barbed-wire letters made my mind shut like a clam. Sylvia Plath
Paulo Coelho quote: "For those that were never wounded by love, they will never be..."
For those that were never wounded by love, they will never be able to say: “I lived”. Because they haven’t. Paulo Coelho
I learned to look more upon the bright side of my condition, and less upon the dark side, and to consider what I enjoyed, rather than what I wanted : and this gave me sometimes such secret comforts, that I cannot express them ; and which I take notice of here, to put those discontented people in mind of it, who cannot enjoy comfortably what God has given them, because they see and covet something that he has not given them. All our discontents about what we want appeared to me to spring from... Daniel Defoe
Distance... is like futurity. A dim vastness is spread before our souls; the perceptions of our mind are as obscure as those of our vision... But alas! when we have attained our object, when the distant 'there' becomes the present 'here,' all is changed; we are as poor and circumscribed as ever, and our souls still languish for unattainable happiness. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
This is what rituals are for. We do spiritual ceremonies as human beings in order to create a safe resting place for our most complicated feelings of joy or trauma, so that we don't have to haul those feelings around with us forever, weighing us down. Elizabeth Gilbert
He had been contemptuous of those who wrecked. You did not have to like it because you understood it. He could beat anything, he thought, because no thing could hurt him if he did not care. All right. Now he would not care for death. One thing he had always dreaded was the pain. He could stand pain as well as any man, until it went on too long, and wore him out, but here he had something that had hurt frightfully and just when he had felt it breaking him, the pain had stopped. Ernest Hemingway
Anne Perry quote: "The men who cannot laugh at themselves frighten me even more..."
The men who cannot laugh at themselves frighten me even more than those who laugh at everything. Anne Perry
Against my will, I am sent to bid you come into dinner. Fair Beatrice, thank you for your pains. Beatrice: I took no more pains for those thanks than you take pains to thank me. If it had been painful, I would not have come. Benedick: You take pleasure then in the message? Beatrice: Yea, just so much as you may take upon a knife's point. You have no stomach, signor? Fare you well. Benedick: Ha! "Against my will I am sent to bid you come into dinner." There's a double meaning in that. William Shakespeare
