Tried Quotes (page 116)

I believe that you are sincere and good at heart. If you do not attain happiness, always remember that you are on the right road, and try not to leave it. Above all, avoid falsehood, every kind of falsehood, especially falseness to yourself. Watch over your own deceitfulness and look into it every hour, every minute. Avoid being scornful, both to others and to yourself. What seems to you bad within you will grow purer from the very fact of your observing it in yourself. Avoid fear, too,... Fyodor Dostoevsky

Dr. Seuss quote: "Oh the thinks you can think up if only you try!"
Oh the thinks you can think up if only you try! Dr. Seuss
The sad ones are those who waste their energy in trying to hold it back, for they can only feel bitterness in loss and no joy in gain. John Steinbeck
You have to try your hardest to be at the top of your game and improve every joke you can until the last possible second, and then you have to let it go. Tina Fey

Never listen to anybody who try to discourage you. Mariah Carey
Toward the end of their relationship she'd told him once, "I wish I could give you what you're looking for, but I don't know what it is. There's a part of you that you keep closed off from everyone, including me. Its as if I'm not the one you're really with. Your mind is on someone else." He tried to deny it, but she didn't believe him. "I'm a woman - I know these things. When you look at me sometimes, I know you're seeing someone else. Its like you keep waiting for her to pop out of thin air... Nicholas Sparks
Harper Lee quote: "I know now what he was trying to do, but Atticus was only a..."

Yes, of course, there's something fishy about describing people's feelings. You try hard to be accurate, but as soon as you start to define such and such a feeling, language lets you down. It's really a machine for making falsehoods. When we really speak the truth, words are insufficient. Almost everything except things like "pass the gravy" is a lie of a sort. And that eing the case, I shall shut up. Oh, and... pass the gravy. Iris Murdoch
This was why I was here. This was why I would take whatever reception waited for me when I got back. Because, underneath all the anger and the sarcasm, Jacob was in pain. Right now, it was very clear in his eyes. I didn't know how to help him, but I knew I had to try. It was more than that I owed him. It was because his pain hurt me, too. Jacob had become a part of me, and there was no changing that now. Stephenie Meyer
Leonard Cohen quote: "Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir, I..."
Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free!! Leonard Cohen
I remember one English teacher in the eighth grade, Florence Schrack, whose husband also taught at the high school. I thought what she said made sense, and she parsed sentences on the blackboard and gave me, I'd like to think, some sense of English grammar and that there is a grammar, that those commas serve a purpose and that a sentence has a logic, that you can break it down. I've tried not to forget those lessons, and to treat the English language with respect as a kind of intricate tool. John Updike
He saw merchants trading, princes hunting, mourners wailing for their dead, whores offering themselves, physicians trying to help the sick, priests determining the most suitable day for seeding, lovers loving, mothers nursing their children—and all of this was not worthy of one look from his eye, it all lied, it all stank, it all stank of lies, it all pretended to be meaningful and joyful and beautiful, and it all was just concealed putrefaction. The world tasted bitter. Life was torture Herman Hesse
John Sladek quote: "History is a bunk on which I am trying to awaken"
History is a bunk on which I am trying to awaken John Sladek
