Up Quotes (page 150)

If you were looking aside and mentally adding up the hours until the execution of a young killer, all that registered was something dark flashing by. But if you happened to be gazing directly at the window in question and you happened as well to be feeling unprecedentedly calm, four-tenths of a second was more than enough time to identify the falling object as your husband of forty-seven years. Jonathan Franzen
Salman Rushdie quote: "When you throw everything up in the air anything becomes..."
When you throw everything up in the air anything becomes possible. Salman Rushdie
The stores along Hollywood Boulevard were already beginning to fill up with overpriced Christmas junk, and the daily papers were beginning to scream about how terrible- it would be if you didn't get your Christmas shopping done early. Raymond Chandler
He saw Kathleen sitting in the middle of a long white table alone. Immediately things changed. As he walked toward her the people shrank back against the walls till they were only murals; the white table lengthened and became an altar where the priestess sat alone. Vitality welled up in him and he could have stood a long time across the table from her, looking and smiling. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Milan Kundera quote: "a man who loses his privacy loses everything...a man who gives..."
a man who loses his privacy loses everything...a man who gives it up of his own free will is a monster Milan Kundera
Until you divest yourself of the notion that you are a collection of needs, an empty vessel that someone else must fill up, there will be no safe place to harbor yourself, no safe shore to reach. As long as you think mostly of getting, you will have nothing real to give. Merle Shain
Janet Evanovich quote: "There are some men who enter a woman's life and screw it up..."
There are some men who enter a woman's life and screw it up forever. Janet Evanovich
I marveled at how mixed up people got when it came to love. I myself, for instance. It seemed like I was now thinking of Zach forty minutes out of every hour, Zach, who was an impossibility. That's what I told myself five hundred times: impossibility. I can tell you this much: the word is a great big log throw on the fires of love. Sue Monk Kidd
Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lives of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. Robert Kennedy
She was hearing everything that went on in his heart, like a person who can trace a map with his fingertip and conjure up vivid, living scenery. Haruki Murakami
Chelsea Handler quote: "I look hot and, most of all, skinny. I love the day after..."
I look hot and, most of all, skinny. I love the day after throwing up. I felt like a feather. Chelsea Handler
...I blink back the threat of tears, swiped at my nose and narrowed my eyes. "Listen to me, you two bags of monkey shit, "I yelled. "I am not in a good mood. My car keeps stalling. The day before yesterday I threw up on Joe Morelli. I was called a fat cow by my ex-husband. And if that isn't enough...my hair is ORANGE! ORANGE, FOR CHRISSAKE! And now you have the gall to force yourself into my home and threaten my hamster. Well, you have gone too far. You have crossed the line! Janet Evanovich
America is not so much a nightmare as a non-dream. The American non-dream is precisely a move to wipe the dream out of existence. The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set up by the non-dreamers. William S. Burroughs
TEA I like pouring your tea, lifting the heavy pot, and tipping it up, so the fragrant liquid streams in your china cup. Or when you’re away, or at work, I like to think of your cupped hands as you sip, as you sip, of the faint half-smile of your lips. I like the questions – sugar? – milk? – and the answers I don’t know by heart, yet, for I see your soul in your eyes, and I forget. Jasmine, Gunpowder, Assam, Earl Grey, Ceylon, I love tea’s names. Which tea would you like? I say but it’s... Carol Ann Duffy
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "It's a great freedom to give up on love, and get on with..."
It's a great freedom to give up on love, and get on with everything else. Barbara Kingsolver
