Too Quotes (page 272)

A critique does not consist in saying that things aren't good the way they are. It consists in seeing on just what type of assumptions, of familiar notions, of established and unexamined ways of thinking the accepted practices are based... To do criticism is to make harder those acts which are now too easy. Michel Foucault
And I can imagine Farmer saying he doesn't care if no one else is willing to follow their example. He's still going to make these hikes, he'd insist, because if you say that seven hours is too long to walk for two families of patients, you're saying that their lives matter less than some others', and the idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that's wrong with the world. Tracy Kidder
My father used to say: Every bird is one bird, and every book is one book, and every bird and every book is one thing too, under the words and the feathers." He finished with a flourish, as though the meaning of this was self-evident. Clive Barker

I hate all those flirty-birty games that women make up. Life's too short. If you ever find a man you love, don't waste time hanging your head and simpering. Go right up to him and say, 'I love you. How about getting married? Betty Smith
Slow down you're doing fine. You can't be everything you want to be. Before your time. Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight. Too bad but it's the life you lead. You're so ahead of yourself. That you forfeit what you need. Though you can see when you're wrong Billy Joel
I-I am going to be a storm-a flame-I need to fight whole armies alone; I have ten hearts; I have a hundred arms; I feel too strong to war with mortals-BRING ME GIANTS! Edmond Rostand
I would traverse not once more, but often the hell of my inner being. One day I would be a better hand at the game. One day I would learn how to laugh. Pablo was waiting for me, and Mozart too. Herman Hesse
Her curiosity was too much for her. She felt almost as if she could hear the books whispering on the other side of the half-open door. They were promising her a thousand unknown stories, a thousand doors into worlds she had never seen before. Cornelia Funke
We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much. Ronald Reagan
PANDARUSYou are such a woman! A man knows not at what ward youlie. CRESSIDAUpon my back, to defend my belly; upon my wit, to defendmy wiles; upon my secrecy, to defend mine honesty; my mask, todefend my beauty; and you, to defend all these; and at all thesewards I lie at, at a thousand watches. PANDARUSSay one of your watches. CRESSIDANay, I'll watch you for that; and that's one of thechiefest of them too. If I cannot ward what I would not have hit, I can watch you for telling how I took the... William Shakespeare
J. D. Salinger quote: "If I were God, I certainly wouldn't want people to love me..."
If I were God, I certainly wouldn't want people to love me sentimentally. It's too unreliable. J. D. Salinger
Let Pirelli's / Miracle Elixir / Activate your roots, sir... Keep it off your boots, sir- / Eats right through. Yes, get Pirelli's! / Use a bottle of it! / Ladies seem to love it... Flies do, too! Stephen Sondheim
Corrie Ten Boom quote: "Some knowledge is too heavy...you cannot bear it...your Father..."
Some knowledge is too heavy...you cannot bear it...your Father will carry it until you are able. Corrie Ten Boom
Here and there, human nature may be great in times of trial, but generally speaking it is its weakness and not its strength that appears in a sick chamber; it is selfishness and impatience rather than generosity and fortitude, that one hears of. There is so little real friendship in the world!? and unfortunately' (speaking low and tremulously) 'there are so many who forget to think seriously till it is almost too late. Jane Austen
