Too Quotes (page 38)

And, what's more, this 'precious' body, the very same that is hooted and honked at, demeaned both in daily life as well as in ever existing form of media, harrassed, molested, raped, and, if all that wasn't enough, is forever poked and prodded and weighed and constantly wrong for eating too much, eating too little, a million details which all point to the solitary girl, to EVERY solitary girl, and say: Destroy yourself. Emilie Autumn
Elizabeth Smart quote: "I feel helpless, hopeless, too low to call out, too weak to..."
I feel helpless, hopeless, too low to call out, too weak to think. Impotent tears dribble down. Elizabeth Smart
In Coetzee's eyes, we human beings will never abandon politics because politics is too convenient and too attractive as a theatre in which to give play to our baser emotions. J. M. Coetzee
Commonsense has trampled down many a gentle genius whose eyes had delighted in a too early moonbeam of some too early truth; commonsense has back-kicked dirt at the loveliest of queer paintings because a blue tree seemed madness to its well-meaning hoof; commonsense has prompted ugly but strong nations to crush their fair but frail neighbors the moment a gap in history offered a chance that it would have been ridiculous not to exploit. Vladimir Nabokov
In a word, I was too cowardly to do what I knew to be right, as I had been too cowardly to avoid doing what I knew to be wrong. Charles Dickens
Woe betide him, and her too, when it comes to things of consequence, when they are placed in circumstances requiring fortitude and strength of mind, if she have not resolution enough to resist idle interference ... It is the worst evil of too yielding and indecisive a character, that no influence over it can be depended on. You are never sure of a good impression being durable; everybody may sway it. Let those who would be happy be firm. Jane Austen
We are working well when we use ourselves as the fellow creatures of the plants, animals, materials, and other people we are working with. Such work is unifying, healing. It brings us home from pride and from despair, and places us responsible within the human estate. It defines us as we are: not too good to work with our bodies, but too good to work poorly or joylessly or selfishly or alone. (pg. 134, The Body and the Earth) Wendell Berry
The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent. George Orwell
You have a right to experiment with your life. You will make mistakes. And they are right too. No, I think there was too rigid a pattern. You came out of an education and are supposed to know your vocation. Your vocation is fixed, and maybe ten years later you find you are not a teacher anymore or you're not a painter anymore. It may happen. It has happened. I mean Gauguin decided at a certain point he wasn't a banker anymore; he was a painter. And so he walked away from banking. I think we... Anais Nin
Judith Guest quote: "Everything seems excessive, now, and too intense, too important."
Everything seems excessive, now, and too intense, too important. Judith Guest
William Shakespeare quote: "Better 3 hours too soon than a minute too late."
Better 3 hours too soon than a minute too late. William Shakespeare
Mitch Albom quote: "It is never too late or too soon, the old man had said. It is..."
It is never too late or too soon, the old man had said. It is when it is supposed to be. Mitch Albom
Neil Gaiman quote: "Some things are too big to be seen; some emotions are too huge..."
Some things are too big to be seen; some emotions are too huge to be felt. Neil Gaiman
Nothing, not even the best and noblest, can go on as it now is. Nothing, not even what is lowest and most bestial, will not be raised again if it submits to death. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. Flesh and blood cannot come to the Mountains [heaven]. Not because they are too rank, but because they are too weak. What is a Lizard compared with a stallion? Lust is a poor, weak, whimpering whispering thing compared with that richness and energy of desire which will arise... C. S. Lewis
Don DeLillo quote: "He thinks he's happy but it's just a nerve cell in his brain..."
He thinks he's happy but it's just a nerve cell in his brain that's getting too much stimulation or too little stimulation. Don DeLillo
