Ways Quotes (page 187)

This is the kind of life I've had. Drunk, and in charge of a bicycle, as an Irish police report once put it. Drunk with life, that is, and not knowing where off to next. But you're on your way before dawn. And the trip? Exactly one half terror, exactly one half exhilaration. Ray Bradbury
Stephenie Meyer quote: "After all, how many ways can one heart be mangled and still be..."
After all, how many ways can one heart be mangled and still be expected to keep beating? Stephenie Meyer
Alice Hoffman quote: "He fell in love with the way she closed her eyes, long before..."
He fell in love with the way she closed her eyes, long before he fell in love with her. Alice Hoffman
According to one influential wing of modern secular society there are few more disreputable fates than to end up being 'like everyone else' for 'everyone else' is a category that comprises the mediocre and the conformist, the boring and the suburban. The goal of all right-thinking people should be to mark themselves off from the crowd and 'stand out' in whatever way their talents allow. Alain de Botton
Let me claim that Africa and I kept company for a while and then parted ways as if we were both party to relations with a failed outcome. Or say I was afflicted with Africa like a bout of a rare disease from which I have not managed a full recovery. Barbara Kingsolver
Alice Hoffman quote: "Another world must surely exist somewhere one where she would..."
Another world must surely exist somewhere one where she would be known in some deep way that was far beyond words. Alice Hoffman
There are two ways of persuading men of the truths of our religion; one by the power of reason, the other by the authority of the speaker. We do not use the latter but the former. We do not say: 'You must believe that because Scripture, which says it, is divine,' but we say that it must be believed for such and such a reason. But these are feeble arguments, because reason can be bent in any direction. Blaise Pascal
Piers Anthony quote: "Be what you are; it is better that way.--Dolph"
Be what you are; it is better that way.--Dolph Piers Anthony
What sickens me about left-wing people, especially the intellectuals, is their utter ignorance of the way things actually happen. George Orwell
the very notion of personality, which is what we are trying to get at here, seems to have very limited application to me and quite possibly to everyone else. Self is another dodgy concept, since I am, when I subject this 'I' to careful inspection, not much more than a flickering of affinities, habits, memories, and predilections that could go either way- towards neediness or independence for example courage or cowardice. Barbara Ehrenreich
Luca’s grandfather (who I hope is known as Nonno Spaghetti) gave him his first sky-blue Lazio jersey when the boy was just a toddler. Luca, likewise, will be a Lazio fan until he dies. “We can change our wives,” he said. “We can change our jobs, our nationalities and even our religions, but we can never change our team.” By the way, the word for “fan” in Italian is tifoso. Derived from the word for typhus. In other words—one who is mightily fevered. Elizabeth Gilbert
Barry Unsworth quote: "A little bit of kindness goes a long way with women."
A little bit of kindness goes a long way with women. Barry Unsworth
Identity is a prison you can never escape, but the way to redeem your past is not to run from it, but to try to understand it, and use it as a foundation to grow. Jay-Z
Jodi Picoult quote: "You can be strapped to the most stable chair and still feel..."
You can be strapped to the most stable chair and still feel the world give way beneath you. Jodi Picoult
Maybe that’s what it all comes down to. Love, not as a surge of passion, but as a choice to commit to something, someone, no matter what obstacles or temptations stand in the way. And maybe making that choice, again and again, day in and day out, year after year, says more about love than never having a choice to make at all Emily Giffin
