Two Things Quotes (page 9)

In my life I have found two things of priceless worth - learning and loving. Nothing else - not fame, not power, not achievement for its own sake - can possible have the same lasting value.

So then, what do you believe in? Sex and death. Two things that come once in my lifetime. But at least after death you're not nauseous. Woody Allen
Coco Chanel quote: "A girl should be two things: who and what she wants."
A girl should be two things: who and what she wants. Coco Chanel
These two things are almost all I want, but unfortunately, neither one is my strong suit. I am very strong on blame, and wish this were one of God's values, but trust, surrender? Letting go, forgiveness? Maybe just after a period of prayer, but then when the mood passes and real life rears its ugly head again? Not so much. I hate this, the fact that life is usually Chutes and Ladders, with no guaranteed gains. I cannot will myself into having these qualities, so I have to pray for them... Anne Lamott
When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the dark movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman, and a ride home. I was wishing I looked like Paul Newman - he looks tough and I don't - but I guess my own looks aren't so bad. S. E. Hinton
I don’t trust compliments. I’ve been getting them for years. Sometimes I deserve them, sometimes I didn’t. But generally when people give you compliments there’s one of two things wrong with them. Either they’re false, or what’s worse is they’re sincere. They really mean the compliment. And then they’re offering you their loyalty. And I’m kind of a stingy… Well, I don’t necessarily want to give all that loyalty back. So either way, let’s skip the compliments. Norman Mailer
I like being on my own better than I like anything else, but I can't give up love. Maybe it's the tension between longing and aloneness that I need. My own funicular railway, holding in balance the two things most likely to destroy me. Jeanette Winterson
Seamus Heaney quote: "Anyone with gumption and a sharp mind will take the measure of..."
Anyone with gumption and a sharp mind will take the measure of two things: what's said and what's done. Seamus Heaney
I was always either so unreasonably and pointlessly happy that no one place could seem to contain me, or so melancholy, so sick and silly with sadness that there was no place I could stomach the thought of entering. I hated it here. And I have never been as happy as when I was here. And these two things together confront me with the beak and claws of the True. David Foster Wallace
The terror of society, which is the basis of morals, the terror of God, which is the secret of religion-these are the two things that govern us. Oscar Wilde
Good writers have two things in common: they prefer to be understood rather than admired; and they do not write for knowing and over-acute readers. Friedrich Nietzsche
[Simone Weil's] life is almost a perfect blend of the Comic and the Terrible, which two things may be opposite sides of the same coin. In my own experience, everything funny I have written is more terrible than it is funny, or only funny because it is terrible, or only terrible because it is funny. Flannery O'Connor
If you're crazy, there's two things you can do to make yourself feel better: One is to get yourself cured. The other is to make everyone you have to deal with crazy. Alan Dean Foster
There is for a man two things in life that are very important, head and shoulders above everything else. Find work you like, and find someone to live with you like. Very few people get both. Cormac McCarthy
