Unruly Quotes

No, women like you don't write. They carve onion sculptures and potato statues. They sit in dark corners and braid their hair in new shapes and twists in order to control the stiffness, the unruliness, the rebelliousness. Edwidge Danticat
BUSY old fool, unruly Sun, Why dost thou thus, Through windows, and through curtains, call on us? Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run ? Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide Late school-boys and sour prentices, Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride, Call country ants to harvest offices ; Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime, Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time. John Donne
I know it's trash: just another story made up to scare wicked females and correct unruly children. But it's all I have. I know I need something else. Something better. Like a story that shows how brazen women can take a good man down. I can hum to that. Toni Morrison
Erma Bombeck quote: "When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe..."
When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe playpen. When they're finished, I climb out. Erma Bombeck
I drew laughing, high-breasted girls aquaplaning without a care in the world, as a result of being amply protected against such national evils as bleeding gums, facial blemishes, unsightly hairs, and faulty or inadequate life insurance. I drew housewives who, until they reached for the right soap flakes, laid themselves wide open to straggly hair, poor posture, unruly children, disaffected husbands, rough (but slender) hands, untidy (but enormous) kitchens. J. D. Salinger
Edwidge Danticat quote: "When you write ,it's like braiding your hair. Taking a handful..."
When you write ,it's like braiding your hair. Taking a handful of coarse unruly strands and attempting to bring then unity. Edwidge Danticat
Ian Mcewan quote: "The novel is too capacious, inclusive, unruly, and personal..."
The novel is too capacious, inclusive, unruly, and personal for perfection. Too long, sometimes too much like life. Ian Mcewan
Diana Wynne Jones quote: "Busy old fool, unruly Sophie"
Busy old fool, unruly Sophie Diana Wynne Jones
In the United States today, there is a pervasive tendency to treat children as adults, and adults as children. The options of children are thus steadily expanded, while those of adults are progressively constricted. The result is unruly children and childish adults. Thomas Szasz
Not just Negroponte, who doesn't like to read, but even Birkerts, who thinks that history is ending, underestimates the instability of society and the unruly diversity of its members. The electronic apotheosis of mass culture has merely reconfirmed the elitism of literary reading, which was briefly obscured in the novel's heyday. I mourn the eclipse of the cultural authority that literature once possessed, and I rue the onset of an age so anxious that the pleasure of a text becomes difficult... Jonathan Franzen
My father always used to say, "Don't raise your voice. Improve your argument." Good sense does not always lie with the loudest shouters, nor can we say that a large, unruly crowd is always the best arbiter of what is right. Desmond Tutu
Edgar Lee Masters quote: "The tongue may be an unruly member--But silence poisons the soul."
The tongue may be an unruly member--But silence poisons the soul. Edgar Lee Masters
I have always found the Bright Young People extremely tedious. The gay life seems dull and stupid to the onlooker, but the moralist is unwise to judge it harshly. It is as absurd to be angry with the young things who lead it as with a litter of puppies scampering aimlessly around, rolling one another over and chasing their tails. It is well to bear with fortitude if they cause havoc in the flower beds or break a piece of china. Some of them will be drowned because their points are not up to... W. Somerset Maugham
In order to master the unruly torrent of life the learned man meditates, the poet quivers, and the political hero erects the fortress of his will. Jose Ortega y Gasset
Busy old fool, unruly Sun, why dost thou thus through windows and through curtains call on us? Must to thy motions lovers seasons run? John Donne
