Troubles Quotes (page 12)

Ernest Hemingway quote: "I didn't want to kiss you goodbye, that was the trouble; I..."
I didn't want to kiss you goodbye, that was the trouble; I wanted to kiss you goodnight. And there's a lot of difference. Ernest Hemingway
That was the trouble. The land is too big out there, and after a while it starts to swallow you up. I reached a point when I couldn't take it anymore. All that bloody silence and emptiness. You try to find your bearings in it, but it's too big, the dimensions are too monstrous, and eventually, I don't know how else to put it, eventually it just stops being there. There's no world, no land, no nothing. It comes down to that, Fogg, in the end it's all a figment. The only place you exist is in... Paul Auster
From the beginning I've searched out those writers unafraid to stir up the emotions, who entrust me with their darkest passions, their most indestructible yearnings, and their most soul-killing doubts.

I trust them to show me the dangers I will encounter on the road as I stagger on my own troubled passage through the complicated life of books that try to teach me how to die. Pat Conroy
Charles Bukowski quote: "The trouble with these people is that their cities have never..."
The trouble with these people is that their cities have never been bombed and their mothers have never been told to shut up. Charles Bukowski
To hell with God damned "L'Amour." It always causes far more trouble than it is worth. Don't run after it. Don't court it. Keep it waiting off stage until you're good and ready for it and even then treat it with the suspicious disdain that it deserves... Noel Coward
L. M. Montgomery quote: "I feel sorry now myself,” admitted Davy, “but the trouble is I..."

Michael Cunningham quote: "One of the troubles with love is, you can't talk about it..."
One of the troubles with love is, you can't talk about it without feeling like you keep cueing old songs. Michael Cunningham
Give me priests who are fat and corrupt and cynical,(...) the sort who like to sit on soft satin cushions, nibble sweetmeats, and diddle little boys. It's the ones who believe in gods who make the trouble. (Tyrion) George R. R. Martin
Globalization makes it impossible for modern societies to collapse in isolation, as did Easter Island and the Greenland Norse in the past. Any society in turmoil today, no matter how remote ... can cause trouble for prosperous societies on other continents and is also subject to their influence (whether helpful or destabilizing). For the first time in history, we face the risk of a global decline. But we also are the first to enjoy the opportunity of learning quickly from developments in... Jared Diamond
An armchair is always an armchair, to the modern child, never a ship, never a desert island. The pattern on the wall are patterns; not characters whose faces change at dusk... The trouble is, the children have no imagination. They are sweet, and have carefree, honest eyes; but they have not any magic in their day. The magic has all gone... Daphne du Maurier
"If you ever find you need help again, you know, if you're in trouble, need a hand out of a corner..."Yeah?"Please don't hesitate to get lost. Douglas Adams
Pain is the body's way of telling the brain it's in trouble. Similarly, confusion is the brain's way of telling the body, 'All right, buddy, drop that book. Stephen Colbert

Epictetus quote: "It is better to die of hunger having lived without grief and..."
It is better to die of hunger having lived without grief and fear, than to live with a troubled spirit, amid abundance Epictetus
Paradoxically, a saint like [Albert] Schweitzer can give one a lot more trouble than King Leopold II, villain of unmitigated guilt, because along with doing good and saving African lives Schweitzer also managed to announce that the African was indeed his brother, but only his junior brother. Chinua Achebe
