Timely Quotes (page 525)

I think that perhaps we always fall in love the very first instant we see the man of our dreams, even though, at the time, reason may be telling us otherwise, and we may fight against that instinct, hoping against hope that we won't win, until there comes a point when we allow ourselves to be vanquished by our feelings.

Marvelous wonders don't have to happen of a sudden, the way they do in the Arabian Nights. They can also take a long time, like crystals growing, or minds changing, or leaves turning. The trick is to keep an eye peeled, so they don't slip by unappreciated. Ken Kesey

They got no family. They don't belong no place. They come to a ranch an' work up a stake, and the first thing you know they're poundin' their tail on some other ranch.

Bring me my chariot of fire. I will not cease from mental fight. Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand'Til we... William Blake
At this moment, many people have stopped living. They do not become angry, nor cry out; they merely wait for time to pass. They did not accept the challenges of life, so life no longer challenges them Paulo Coelho
Wallace Stegner quote: "Youth hasn't got anything to do with chronological age. It's..."
Youth hasn't got anything to do with chronological age. It's times of hope and happiness. Wallace Stegner
The thing to do when one feels sure that he has said or done the right thing and is condemned, is to stand still and keep quiet. If he is right, time will show it. Booker T. Washington
The most dangerous part of lending books lies in the returning. At such times, friendships hang by a thread. I look for agony, ecstasy, for tears, transfiguration, trembling hands, a broken voice - but what the borrower usually says is, "I enjoyed it." I enjoyed it - as if that were what books were for. Anatole Broyard

Child, that is why all the rest are now a horror to her. That is what happens to those who pluck and eat fruits at the wrong time and in the wrong way. Oh, the fruit is good, but they loath it ever after. C. S. Lewis
George Orwell quote: "You wanted a good time; "they," meaning the Party, wanted to..."
You wanted a good time; "they," meaning the Party, wanted to stop you having it; you broke the rules as best you could. George Orwell
Tonight’s December thirty-first, Something is about to burst. The clock is crouching, dark and small, Like a time bomb in the hall. Hark, it's midnight, children dear. Duck! Here comes another year! Ogden Nash
You will have a wife, and children of your own, and they will want to be driven to different places at the same time. No matter how kind they are, one day they will complain about visiting your mother, and you will get tired of it too...You will miss one day, and another, and then she will have to drag herself onto a bus just to get herself a bag of lozenges. Jhumpa Lahiri
Sue Monk Kidd quote: "People start out one way, and by the time life gets through..."
