Ways Quotes (page 200)

There's an essential order you have to follow in everything. It's a way of showing respect, following everything in the correct order. Haruki Murakami
...to be born into this world exactly the way it is, into these exact circumstances, even if that meant not having a dad or an ozone layer, even if it included pets that would die and acne and seventh=grade dances and AIDS. Anne Lamott
Sylvia Day quote: "Romance isn't in my repertoire, Eva. But a thousand ways to..."
Romance isn't in my repertoire, Eva. But a thousand ways to make you come are. Let me show you. Sylvia Day
And overpowered by memory. Both men gave way to grief. Priam wept freely. For man - killing Hector, throbbing, crouching. Before Achilles' feet as Achilles wept himself, Now for his father, now for Patroclus once again. And their sobbing rose and fell throughout the house. Homer
The large, gaping flaws in the construction of the stories--mad wives in the attic, strange apparitions in Belgium--are a representation of the life she could not face; these gothic subterfuges represent the mind at a breaking point, frantic to find any way out. If the flaws are only to be attributed to the practicce of popular fiction of the time, we cannot then explain the large amount of genuine feeling that goes into them. They stand for the hidden wishes of an intolerable life. Elizabeth Hardwick
Emile M. Cioran quote: "Self-conscious rejection of the absolute is the best way to..."
Self-conscious rejection of the absolute is the best way to resist God; thus illusion, the substance of life, is saved. Emile M. Cioran
A lot is being said today about the influence that the myths and images of women have on all of us who are products of culture. I think it has been a peculiar confusion to the girl or woman who tries to write because she is peculiarly susceptible to language. She goes to poetry or fiction looking for her way of being in the world, since she too has been putting words and images together; she is looking eagerly for guides, maps, possibilities; and over and over in the ‘words’ masculine... Adrienne Rich
I hear Peeta's voice in my head. She has no idea. The effect she can have. Obviously meant to demean me. Right? But a tiny part of me wonders if this was a compliment. That he meant I was appealing in some way. It's weird, how much he's noticed me. Like the attention he's paid to my hunting. And apparently, I have not been as oblivious to him as I imagined, either. The flour. The wrestling. I have kept track of the boy with the bread. Suzanne Collins
Is this how you repay my goodness--with badness?” cried the boy. “Of course,” said the crocodile out of the corner of his mouth. “That is the way of the world. Alex Haley
Terry Prachett quote: "Fantasy - the ability to envisage the world in many different..."
Fantasy - the ability to envisage the world in many different ways - is one of the skills that makes us human. Terry Prachett
In my new freedom I remember thinking: If one knows what he wants to do, others will not only not stand in the way but will lend a hand from simple curiosity and amazement. Walker Percy
Tom looked more and more like a rabbi. As is the way of men of character in provincial towns, he tended to become a collection of mannerisms, a caricature of himself. Frank O'Connor
Condemning others as bad or sinful is a way to feel righteous. Such a feeling is a powerful mood alteration and can become highly addictive. John Bradshaw
Terry Prachett quote: "...logic is only a way of being ignorant by numbers."
...logic is only a way of being ignorant by numbers. Terry Prachett
. . . I know who we are, and how we got that way. We are writers. We danced with the words, as children, in what became familiar patterns. The words became our friends and our companions, and without even saying it aloud, a thought danced with them: I can do this. This is who I am. A. Whitney Brown
