Us Quotes (page 464)

You see parents as kind or unkind or happy or miserable or drunk or sober or great or near-great or failed the way you see a table square or a Montclair lip-read. Kids today...you kids today somehow don't know how to feel, much less love, to say nothing of respect. We're just bodies to you. We're just bodies and shoulders and scarred knees and big bellies and empty wallets and flasks to you. I'm not saying something clich like you take us for granted so much as I'm saying you cannot...imagine... David Foster Wallace
We lost them in the vastness of their dresses and found them again, squeezed the pulp of their bodies and inhaled the perfume of their exertion. A few of us grew brave enough to insert our legs between theirs and to press our agony against them. Jeffrey Eugenides
Aiden Wilson Tozer quote: "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most..."
What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. Aiden Wilson Tozer
It is not necessarily at home that we best encounter our true selves. The furniture insists that we cannot change because it does not; the domestic setting keeps us tethered to the person we are in ordinary life, who may not be who we essentially are. Alain de Botton
Of course some of us had some geography in school and had studied maps, but a school map is a terribly uncommunicative thing. Robertson Davies
And do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time. Winston Churchill
William Shakespeare quote: "When our actions do not, our fears do make us traitors"
When our actions do not, our fears do make us traitors William Shakespeare
I am happy the world is breaking up for us, yet it's newness trembles me. To get you I must love the only home, the only people I know. Toni Morrison
Stephen Greenblatt quote: "Through reading literature we can make ghosts speak to us, and..."
Through reading literature we can make ghosts speak to us, and we can speak back to them. Stephen Greenblatt
Jodi Picoult quote: "That's what love is. It's some power greater than you and me,..."
That's what love is. It's some power greater than you and me, that draws us to one special person Jodi Picoult
I thought about the current contamination of beaches, raw sewage spilling into oceans and streams, the hole in the ozone, forests being stripped, the toxic-waste dumps, the merry plunder of mankind added to the drought and the famine that nature dishes up annually as a matter of course. It's hard to know what's actually going to get us first. Sometimes I think we should just blow the whole planet and get it over with. It's the suspense that's killing me. Sue Grafton
Philip Pullman quote: "Men and women are moved by tides much fiercer than you can..."
Men and women are moved by tides much fiercer than you can imagine, and they sweep us all up into the current. Philip Pullman
Jerzy Kosinski quote: "As a boy I got the idea that death was an animal which lay..."
As a boy I got the idea that death was an animal which lay curled inside waiting to swallow us. Jerzy Kosinski
Virginia Woolf quote: "The people we are most fond of are not good for us when we are..."
The people we are most fond of are not good for us when we are ill. Virginia Woolf
Lydia screamed. The car began to swerve all over the street. "YOU SON-OF-A-BITCH! I'LL KILL YOU!" She crossed the double yellow line at high speed, directly into oncoming traffic. Horns sounded and cars scattered. We drove on against the flow of traffic, cars approaching us peeling off to the left and right. Then just as abruptly Lydia swerved back across the double line into the lane we had just vacated. Where are the police? I thought. Why is it that when Lydia does something the police... Charles Bukowski
