Wants Quotes (page 329)

I cry intermittently, like a summer rain. I don't feel racked by the crying; in fact, it hydrates me. Then rage wells up in me, and I want to take a crowbar to all the cars in the neighborhood. Anne Lamott
when we badly want a thing, we go to hunting for good and righteous reasons for it; we give it that fine name to comfort our consciences, whereas we privately know we are only hunting for plausible ones. Mark Twain
The element of truth behind all this, which people are so ready to disavow, is that men are not gentle creatures who want to be loved, and who at the most can defend themselves if they are attacked; they are, on the contrary, creatures among whose instinctual endowments is to be reckoned a powerful share of aggressiveness. Sigmund Freud
I want to live. I take them up like the male and female paper dolls and bang them together at the hips like chips of flint as if to strike sparks from them, I say. Do what you are going to do, and I will tell about it. Sharon Olds

We live on a planet that has a more or less infinite capacity to surprise. What reasoning person could possibly want it any other way? Bill Bryson
J. K. Rowling quote: "How do you want to be remembered? ~As someone who did the best..."
How do you want to be remembered? ~As someone who did the best she could with the talent she had. J. K. Rowling
I do not have an act. I just do Eartha Kitt... I want to be whoever Eartha Kitt is until the gods take me wherever they take me. Eartha Kitt

Ian Mcewan quote: "And it interests him less to have the world reinvented; he..."
And it interests him less to have the world reinvented; he wants it explained. Ian Mcewan
Keep me preoccupied. Keep me busy, busy, busy. So I won't have to think. I don't want to think. Because it only brings me pain. I just keep running away from. My problems. Keep me busy. Give me a million things to do. So I can keep running away from myself. Henry Rollins
Nothing seems crueler--or more ironic--than these upper crusters who never pay a dime for their high-priced shrinks or reflexology sessions to call those who just want that tumor removed from their uterus a bunch of commies. Well, the revolution is at hand and let's hope all those uninsured commies give the rich such a headache that a whole bottle of Advil won't be enough to take the pain way. Michael Moore
Annie Dillard quote: "We still & always want waking."
We still & always want waking. Annie Dillard
