Ways Quotes (page 192)

When a man sleeps, he is steeped and lost in a limp toneless happiness: awake he is restless, tortured by his body and the illusion of existence. Why have men spent the centuries seeking to overcome the awakened body? Put it to sleep, that is a better way. Let it serve only to turn the sleeping soul over, to change the blood-stream and thus make possible a deeper and more refined sleep. Flann O'Brien
I told her, Don't touch me that way. Don't come at me with that sour-cream smile. Come at me as if I were worth your life - the life we make together. Take me like a turtle whose shell must be cracked, whose heart is ice, who needs your heat. Love me like a warrior, sweat up to your earlobes and all your hope between your teeth. Love me so I know I am at least as important as anything you have ever wanted. Dorothy Allison

Think't the best voyage that e'er you made like an irregular crab which, though’t goes backward, thinks that it goes right, because it goes its own way. John Webster
It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking. Isaac Asimov
Living apart and at peace with myself, I came to realize more vividly the meaning of the doctrine of acceptance. To refrain from giving advice, to refrain from meddling in the affairs of others, to refrain even though the motives be the highest, from tampering with anothers way of life-so simple, yet so difficult for an active spirit. Hands Off. Henry Miller
The task we all face as human beings ... is to find and become who we are. The task teachers face is to find their own way of teaching, one that manifests who they are. Derrick Jensen
William Allingham quote: "Round the world and home again, that's the sailor's way!"
Round the world and home again, that's the sailor's way! William Allingham
The pleasure in complete domination over another person (or other animate creature) is the very essence of the sadistic drive. Another way of formulating the same thought is to say that the aim of sadism is to transform man into a thing, something animate into something inanimate, since by complete and absolute control the living loses one essential quality of life - freedom. Erich Fromm
Publilius Syrus quote: "You should not live one way in private, another in public."
You should not live one way in private, another in public. Publilius Syrus
Antoine de Saint-Exupery quote: "That's the way they are. You must not hold it against them...."
That's the way they are. You must not hold it against them. Children should be very understanding of grown-ups. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The way to achieve happiness is to try for perfection that is impossible to achieve, and spend the rest of your life trying to achieve it. Winston Churchill
Life got in the way -- two years in the army, work, marriage, family responsibilities, the need to earn more and more money, all the muck that bogs us down when we don't have the balls to stand up for ourselves -- but I had never lost my interest in books. Paul Auster
I know a lot of people think therapy is about sitting around staring at your own navel - but it's staring at your own navel with a goal. And the goal is to one day to see the world in a better way and treat your loved ones with more kindness and have more to give. Hugh Laurie
Fran Lebowitz quote: "I believe in talking behind peoples' backs. That way, they..."
I believe in talking behind peoples' backs. That way, they hear it more than once. Fran Lebowitz
