Wanted Quotes (page 109)

He remained annoyed with himself until he realized that not knowing what he wanted was actually quite natural. We can never know what to want, because, living only one life, we can never compare it with our previous lives nor perfect it in our lives to come. Milan Kundera
Erich Maria Remarque quote: "I want to think and at the same time that's the last thing in..."
I want to think and at the same time that's the last thing in the world I want to do. Erich Maria Remarque
I want to be a more serious-minded Christian, more detached from this world, more ready for heaven than I have ever been in my whole life. I want an ear that is sharp to know the voice of the enemy, whether it comes from religion, politics, or philosophy ... I would rather stand and have everybody my enemy than to go along with the crowd to destruction. Do you feel that way? Aiden Wilson Tozer
He liked the fact that the cars were indistinguishable from each other. He wanted such a car because he thought it was a platonic replica, weightless for all its size, less an object than an idea. But he knew this wasn't true. This was something he said for effect and he didn't believe it for an instant. He believed it for an instant but only just. He wanted the car because it was not only oversized but aggressively and contemptuously so, metastasizingly so, a tremendous mutant thing that... Don DeLillo
Usually the recipe for a bestseller is to give people what they want. My challenge is and was: Give them what they do not expect. Be severe with them. The world of media is full of easy answers, wash-and-wear philosophies, instant ecstacies, what-me-worry Epiphanies. Probably readers want a little more. Umberto Eco
James Baldwin quote: "I was guilty and irritated and full of love and pain. I wanted..."
I was guilty and irritated and full of love and pain. I wanted to kick him and I wanted to take him in my arms. James Baldwin
I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell truths. I tell what ought to be truth. Tennessee Williams
There is no comparison between us. What Kao keeps in view is the spiritual mechanism. In making sure of the essential, he forgets the homely details; intent on the inward qualities, he loses sight of the external. He sees what he wants to see, and not what he does not want to see. He looks at the things he ought to look at, and neglects those that need not be looked at. So clever a judge of horses is Kao, that he has it in him to judge something better than horses. J. D. Salinger
Emily Dickinson quote: "The Heart wants what it wants - or else it does not care"
The Heart wants what it wants - or else it does not care Emily Dickinson
If you want to make a documentary you should automatically go to the fiction, and if you want to nourish your fiction you have to come back to reality. Jean-Luc Godard
Charles M. Schulz quote: "I want to know about life! I want some real..."
I want to know about life! I want some real answers..." "Five." "Five?!" "I thought that was a pretty good answer! Charles M. Schulz
...It was one of the great livery-stableman's most masterly intuitions to have discovered that Americans want to get away from amusement even more quickly than they want to get to it. Edith Wharton
When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, 'I am going to produce a work of art.' I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing. George Orwell
I've excluded happiness as one of those possibilities we seek for ourselves. Oh, I still want it, but that's beside the point. Contentment - they say it's the ultimate, but I can't even wish for that. I don't even want the desire to be content. I can only hope for silence. Jhonen Vasquez
Ronald Reagan quote: "I do not want to go back to the past; I want to go back to the..."
I do not want to go back to the past; I want to go back to the past way of facing the future. Ronald Reagan
