Timing Quotes (page 499)

If you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you'll spend your life completely wasting your time. You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living, that is to go on doing thing you don't like doing, which is stupid. Alan Watts
When one does a thing, it appears good, otherwise one would not write it. Only later comes reflection, and one discards or accepts the thing. Time is the best censor, and patience a most excellent teacher. Frederic Chopin
Stephen King quote: "By the time he was done with the deer it had been dark three..."
By the time he was done with the deer it had been dark three hours and his bad leg was singing 'Ave Maria'. Stephen King
A poet is a blind optimist. The world is against him formany reasons. But thepoet persists. He believesthat he is on the right track, no matter what any of his fellow men say. In hiseternal search for truth, thepoet is alone. He tries to be timeless in a society built on time. Jack Kerouac
Even if times got bad, he would never again deny himself the possibility that the future might be happy even if the present was painful. He would allow himself dreams. Suzanne Collins
It's old, very old I think. Made up long ago in our hills. What my music teacher calls a mountain air. But the words are easy and soothing, promising tomorrow will be more hopeful than this awful piece of time we call today. Suzanne Collins
It has actually become very necessary in our time to rebut the theory that every firm and serious friendship is really homosexual. C. S. Lewis
A yet women -good women- frightened me because they eventually wanted your soul, and what was left of mine, I wanted to keep. Basically I craved prostitutes, base women, because they were deadly and hard and made no personal demands. Nothing was lost when they left. Yet at the same time I yearned for a gentle, good woman, despite the overwhelming price. Charles Bukowski
I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading; since, as you will agree, one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs ten others at the same time. Virginia Woolf
Thomas Merton quote: "Art enables us to find ourselves and loose ourselves at the..."
Art enables us to find ourselves and loose ourselves at the same time. Thomas Merton
Myths, whether in written or visual form, serve a vital role of asking unanswerable questions and providing unquestionable answers. Most of us, most of the time, have a low tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty. We want to reduce the cognitive dissonance of not knowing by filling the gaps with answers. Traditionally, religious myths have served that role, but today? the age of science? science fiction is our mythology. Michael Shermer
Terry Prachett quote: "Never trust a species that grins all the time. It’s up to..."
Never trust a species that grins all the time. It’s up to something. Terry Prachett
Books, for me, are a home. Books don't make a home - they are one, in the sense that just as you do with a door, you open a book, and you go inside. Inside there is a different kind of time and space. There is warmth there too - a hearth. I sit down with a book and I am warm. Jeanette Winterson
Woodrow Wilson quote: "We are citizens of the world. The tragedy of our times is that..."
We are citizens of the world. The tragedy of our times is that we do not know this. Woodrow Wilson
I can never see why people should be jealous. After all, youth isn't a matter of privilege, we all get the same share of it. Some people may be born at an easier time or be richer or more privileged than others, but that hasn't anything to do with being young. And being your is terrible sometimes. Don't you remember how terrible it could be? P. D. James
