Way Quotes (page 495)

I don't wish to denigrate a sport that is enjoyed by millions, some of them awake and facing the right way, but it is an odd game. It is the only sport that incorporates meal breaks. It is the only sport that shares its name with an insect. It is the only sport in which spectators burn as many calories as players - more if they are moderately restless. It is the only competitive activity of any type, other than perhaps baking, in which you can dress in white from head to toe and be as clean... Bill Bryson

You asked me if I wanted to strangle you. No, I wanted to fit you, not just in the obvious ways but in so many indentations. Jeanette Winterson
Were all first loves like that? Somehow she doubted it; even now it struck her as being more real than anything she'd ever known. Sometimes it saddened her to think that she'd never experience that kind of feeling again, but then life had a way of stamping out that intensity of passion; she'd learned all too well that love wasn't always enough.

It's amazing the way one can take a step ten and a half miles long and still always land in a cowpat. Diana Wynne Jones
To cut off the confusion and accept an answer just because it's too scary not to have an answer is a good way to get the wrong answer. Janet Jackson
Nobody will stop you from creating. Do it tonight. Do it tomorrow. That is the way to make your soul grow- whether there is a market for it or not! The kick of creation is the act of creating, not anything that happens afterward. Kurt Vonnegut
Nora Roberts quote: "When something comes easy, you usually let it go the same way."
When something comes easy, you usually let it go the same way. Nora Roberts
How strange it (the earthquake) must all have seemed to them, here where they lived so safely always! They thought such a dreadful thing could happen to others, but not to them. That is the way! William Dean Howells
Isn't it terrible the way some unworthy folks are loved, while others that deserve it far more, you'd think, never get much affection? L. M. Montgomery
If thou must love me, let it be for nought. Except for love's sake only. Do not say'I love her for her smile ... her look ... her way. Of speaking gently, ... for a trick of thought. That falls in well with mine, and certes brought. A sense of pleasant ease on such a day'For these things in themselves, Beloved, may. Be changed, or change for thee,--and love, so wrought, May be unwrought so. Neither love me for. Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry, A creature might forget to weep, who...

Again, on such a view, the body would really be a hallucination. And any theory of hallucination breaks down on the fact (and if it is invention, it is the oldest invention that ever entered the mind of man) that on three separate occasions this hallucination was... C. S. Lewis
