Wants Quotes (page 581)

I took the other road, all right, but only because it was the easy road for me, the way I wanted to go. If I've encountered some unnecessary resistance that's because most of the traffic is going the other way. Edward Abbey
Anyway, if the Cetagandans really wanted to assassinate you, they'd hardly do it here. They'd slip something subtle under your skin that wouldn't go off for six months, and then would drop you mysteriously and untraceably in your tracks Lois McMaster Bujold
What are the five products you want to focus on? Get rid of the rest, because they’re dragging you down. They’re turning you into Microsoft. They’re causing you to turn out products that are adequate but not great. Walter Isaacson

Who's they?" He wanted to know. "Who, specifically, do you think is trying to murder you?"Every one of them," Yossarian told him."Every one of whom?"Every one of whom do you think?"I haven't any idea."Then how do you know they aren't?"Because..." Clevinger sputtered, and turned speechless with frustration. Clevinger really thought he was right, but Yossarian had proof, because strangers he didn't know shot at him with cannons every time he flew up into the air to drop bombs on them, and it... Joseph Heller
Craig Ferguson quote: "At CBS, I’m in your house. I’m mindful of that. When I do..."
At CBS, I’m in your house. I’m mindful of that. When I do standup, you’re in my home and I can say what I want to. Craig Ferguson
I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. Graham Chapman
Stephen Colbert quote: "Look, PETA! If God hadn't wanted us to eat animals, he..."

Chris: I don't know why it is, but every time I reach out for something I want, I have to pull back because other people will suffer. Arthur Miller
The deeper reality is that I’m not sure if what I do is real. I usually believe that I’m certain about how I feel, but that seems naive. How do we know how we feel?…There is almost certainly a constructed schism between (a) how I feel, and (b) how I think I feel. There’s probably a third level, too—how I want to think I feel. Chuck Klosterman
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "People ask without wanting to know."
People ask without wanting to know. Barbara Kingsolver
The humans live in time but our Enemy destines them to eternity. He therefore, I believe, wants them to attend chiefly to two things, to eternity itself, and to that point of time which they call the Present. For the Present is the point at which time touches eternity. Of the present moment, and of it only, humans have an experience analogous to the experience which our Enemy has of reality of whole; in it alone freedom and actuality are offered to them. C. S. Lewis
As he paid the hansom and followed his wife's long train into the house he took refuge in the comforting platitude that the first six months were always the most difficult in marriage. 'After that I suppose we shall have pretty nearly finished rubbing off each other’s angles,' he reflected; but the worst of it was that May's pressure was already bearing on the very angles whose sharpness he most wanted to keep Edith Wharton
When you are inquisitive, Jane, you always make me smile. You open your eyes like an eager bird, and make every now and then a restless movement, as if answers in speech did not flow fast enough for you, and you wanted to read the tablet of one's heart. Charlotte Bronte
What he wanted was not just to hear about Hailsham, but to remember Hailsham, just like it had been his own childhood. He knew he was close to completing and so that's what he was doing: getting me to describe things to him, so they'd really sink in, so that maybe during those sleepless nights, with the drugs and the paint and the exhaustion, the line would blur between what were my memories and what were his. Kazuo Ishiguro
