Very Quotes (page 276)

In the art of literature there are two contending parties. Those who aim to tell stories that are more or less well thought out, and those who aim at beautiful language, beauty of form. This contest may last a very long time; each side has a fifty-fifty chance. Only the poet can rightfully demand that verse be beautiful and nothing but. Paul Gauguin
Your criticism sounds to me as if you have read too many critical books and are too smart in an artificial, destructive, and very limited way. Flannery O'Connor
Human beings look separate because you see them walking about separately. But then we are so made that we can see only the present moment. If we could see the past, then of course it would look different. For there was a time when every man was part of his mother, and (earlier still) part of his father as well, and when they were part of his grandparents. If you could see humanity spread out in time, as God sees it, it would look like one single growing thing--rather like a very complicated... C. S. Lewis
It is very little to me to have the right to vote, to own property, etc., if I may not keep my body, and its uses, in my absolute right Alice Stone Blackwell
Oh, a very sorry people, yes, Did I find here. Oh, they had no music, And they had no beer. And, oh, everywhere. Where they tried to perch. Belonged to Castle Sugar, Incorporated, Or the Catholic church. Kurt Vonnegut
Can you understand? Someone, somewhere, can you understand me a little, love me a little? For all my despair, for all my ideals, for all that - I love life. But it is hard, and I have so much - so very much to learn. Sylvia Plath
His question reminded me of how easy he had been to deceive, so easy that he seemed to me almost a conniver at his wife's unfaithfulness, as the man who leaves loose banknotes in a hotel bedroom connives at theft, and I hated him for the very quality which had once helped my love. Graham Greene
There are beautiful sounds in rock. Very lazy, dreamlike noises. You can forget about the lyrics in most songs. Just dig the noise, and you've got your sound...We're musical primitives. Andy Warhol
I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their good intellects. A man cannot be too careful in his choice of enemies. I have not got one who is a fool. They are all men of some intellectual power, and consequently they all appreciate me. Is that very vain of me? I think that it is rather vain. Oscar Wilde
I hate diversity workshops. “Real change comes from having enough comfort to be really honest and say something very uncomfortable. Michelle Obama
William Shakespeare quote: "Which dreams, indeed, are ambition, for the very substance of..."
Which dreams, indeed, are ambition, for the very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream. William Shakespeare
Dear lou, we learned so much. I realize we wont be able to talk for some time, And I understand that as I do you. The long distance thing was the hardest, And we did as well as we could. We were together during a very tumultuous time in our lives. I will always have your back and be curious about you, About your career, Your whereabouts. Alanis Morissette
Consciousness and HealingTo proceed very far through the desert, you must be willing to meet existential suffering and work it through. In order to do this, the attitude toward pain has to change. This happens when we accept the fact that everything that happens to us has been designed for our spiritual growth. M. Scott Peck
You wanted to look at life for yourself - but you were not allowed; you were punished for your wish. You were ground in the very mill of the conventional. Henry James
She did not shut it properly because she knew that it is very silly to shut oneself into a wardrobe, even if it is not a magic one. C. S. Lewis
