Turning Quotes (page 94)

TINA: Oh, Rick, Rick, I’m scared. What’s happened to us? I can’t seem to find us any more. I reach out and reach out and we’re just not there. I’m frightened. I’m a frightened child (Looks out the window) I hate this rain. Sometimes I see me dead in it. RICK (quietly): My darling, isn’t that a line from ‘A Farewell To Arms’? TINA (turns, furious): Get out of here. Get out! Get out of here before I jump out of this window. Zooey took a parting look at the page he had been reading, then closed... J. D. Salinger
Well, that was life. Gladness and pain... hope and fear... and change. Always change! You could not help it. You had to let the old go and take the new to your heart... learn to love it and then let it go in turn. L. M. Montgomery

Our planet is being turned into a filthy and evil-smelling imperialist barrack. Leon Trotsky
He's back in Maine now. She did say he badgered her with questions. Of course, she didn't have the answer until she spoke to me and found out you were here." Gennie frowned at the sea and said nothing. "She wondered if you were following Macintosh in the papers. It took me over two hours to figure why she would have asked that. Gennie turned back with a speculative look which Serena met blandly. "Perhaps I'm not following you," she said, automatically guarding Grant's secret. Serena took the... Nora Roberts
Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths, or the turning inwards in prayer for five short minutes. Etty Hillesum
Whenever A is oppressing B, it is clear to people of good will that B ought to be independent, but then it always turns out that there is another group C, which is anxious to be independent of B. The question is how large must a minority be before it deserves autonomy. George Orwell
I am resolutely opposed to all innovation, all change, but I am determined to understand what’s happening. Because I don’t choose just to sit and let the juggernaut roll over me. Many people seem to think that if you talk about something recent, you’re in favor of it. The exact opposite is true in my case. Anything I talk about is almost certainly something I’m resolutely against. And it seems to me the best way to oppose it is to understand it. And then you know where to turn off the buttons. Marshall McLuhan
William Shakespeare quote: "Good with out evil is like light with out darkness which in..."
Good with out evil is like light with out darkness which in turn is like righteousness whith out hope. William Shakespeare

Listen, nothing's better than being useful. Tell me how, at the present moment, I can be most of of use. I know it's not for you to decide that, but I'm only asking for your opinion. You tell me, and what you say I swear I'll do! Well, what is the great thought?" "Well, to turn stones into bread. That's a great thought." "The greatest? Yes, really, you have suggested quite a new path. Tell me, is it the greatest?" "It's very great, my dear boy, very great, but it's not the greatest. It's... Fyodor Dostoevsky
Maman used to say that you can always find something to be happy about. In my prison, when the sky turned red and a new day slipped into my cell, I found out that she was right. Albert Camus
Solitude, competitiveness and grief are the unavoidable lot of a writer only when there is no organization or network to which he can turn. Toni Morrison
Men and women who turn their lives over to God will find out that he can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He will deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their souls, raise up friends, and pour our peace. Whoever will lose his life in God will find he has eternal life. Ezra Taft Benson
It is curious that people tend to regard government as a quasi-divine, selfless, Santa Claus organization. Government was constructed neither for ability nor for the exercise of loving care; government was built for the use of force and for necessarily demagogic appeals for votes. If individuals do not know their own interests in many cases, they are free to turn to private experts for guidance. It is absurd to say that they will be served better by a coercive, demagogic apparatus. Murray Rothbard
Jodi Picoult quote: "As it turns out, you can function while your heart is being..."
As it turns out, you can function while your heart is being torn to shreds. Jodi Picoult
