Ups Quotes (page 503)

That’s the thing with the young these days, isn’t it? They watch too many happy endings. Everything has to be wrapped up, with a smile and a tear and a wave. Everyone has learned, found love, seen the error of their ways, discovered the joys of monogamy, or fatherhood, or filial duty, or life itself. In my day, people got shot at the end of films, after learning only that life is hollow, dismal, brutish, and short. Nick Hornby
Jean Genet quote: "He already had one foot in the winter of heaven. He was going..."
He already had one foot in the winter of heaven. He was going to be whisked up. Jean Genet
If indeed it's a race. Then the chicks do the most. It isn't a brag. Or an estrogen boast. It's the women who've led me. With big open hearts. If not for their love. I'd have failed at the start. And it's not just the mothers. I speak of them ALLIt's a woman there first When somebody falls. The multi of tasking. That's easy to tease. I dare a great man. To try it all, PLEASE! So this is my shout out. My rallying cry. To women all over. I hold you up high. And though there are others. Who'll... Jamie Lee Curtis
Philip K. Dick quote: "I'd like to see you move up to the goat class, where I think..."
I'd like to see you move up to the goat class, where I think you belong. Philip K. Dick
Beautiful things grow to a certain height and then they fail and fade off, breathing out memories as they decay. And just as any period decays in our minds, the things of that period should decay too, and in that way they're preserved for a while in the few hearts like mine that react to them. Trying to preserve a century by keeping its relics up to date is like keeping a dying man alive by stimulants. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Maybe you don't like your job. Maybe you didn't get enough sleep. Nobody likes their job; nobody got enough sleep. Maybe you just had the worst day of your life. You know there's no escape and there's no excuse, so just suck up and be nice. Ani DiFranco

Daisaku Ikeda quote: "You must not for one instant give up the effort to build new..."
You must not for one instant give up the effort to build new lives for yourselves. Daisaku Ikeda
Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself...do not be disheartened by your imperfections, but always rise up with fresh courage. Saint Francis de Sales
It's just like when you've got some coffee that's too black, which means it's too strong. What do you do? You integrate it with cream, you make it weak. But if you pour too much cream in it, you won't even know you ever had coffee. It used to be hot, it becomes cool. It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it puts you to sleep. Malcolm X
C. S. Lewis quote: "Further up and further in!"
Further up and further in! C. S. Lewis
We split a bottle of Norman cider. Not everybody sells Norman cider by the bottle. "Has a European feel" Susan said."That sounds terrific" I said. "Can I have one?"Susan grinned at me. "How did you ever get to be so big without growing up?" she said."Iron self-control" I said. Robert B. Parker
The woman who creates and sustains a home, and under whose hands children grow up to be strong and pure men and women, is a creator second only to God. Helen Hunt Jackson
I was stuck in Port Ticonderoga, proud bastion of the common-and-garden variety button and of lower-priced long johns for the budget-minded shoppers. I would stagnate here, nothing would ever happen to me, I would end up an old-maid like Miss Violence, pitied and derided. This at the bottom was my fear. I wanted to be elsewhere, but I saw no way to get there. Once in a while, I found myself hoping that I would be abducted by white slavers, even though I didn't believe in them. At least it... Margaret Atwood
Pat Conroy quote: "I went up to the terrace again and looked out on the tawny,..."
I went up to the terrace again and looked out on the tawny, many-alleyed city. At night it looked carved from brown sugar. Pat Conroy
