Wells Quotes (page 228)

I have a special pair of poop shoes under my desk. Whenever I need to drop a deuce, I slip them on and scurry to the restroom, and no one ever knows it's me. Like, if I'm wearing Louboutins that day, and my producer sees Earth shoes in the stall....well, you get the idea. It was truly a lightbulb moment when that came to me. Oprah Winfrey
There are moments when I wish I could roll back the clock and take all the sadness away, but I have the feeling that if I did, the joy would be gone as well. Nicholas Sparks
I know girls who pine for it. They like to play dress-up and pretend being Vor ladies of old, rescued from menace by romantic Vor youths. For some reason they never play 'dying in childbirth', or 'vomiting your guts out from the red dysentery', or 'weaving till you go blind and crippled from arthritis and dye poisoning', or 'infanticide'. Well, they do die romantically of disease sometimes, but somehow it's always an illness that makes you interestingly pale and everyone sorry and doesn't... Lois McMaster Bujold
Karl Pilkington quote: "A block of blood should not have the word "cake" after..."
A block of blood should not have the word "cake" after it...they might as well say "shite gateau Karl Pilkington
Mark Helprin quote: "He felt as if he were paying for the privilege of music with..."
He felt as if he were paying for the privilege of music with portions of his life and body. But it was well worth it. Mark Helprin
David Foster Wallace quote: "For reasons that are not well understood, war's codes are..."
For reasons that are not well understood, war's codes are safer for most of us than love's. David Foster Wallace
Dr Urbino did not agree: in his opinion a Liberal president was exactly the same as a Conservative president, but not as well dressed. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
It's all very well to put the government in the hands of the perfect man, but what do you do when the perfect man gets a bellyache? David Eddings
I kissed him hard. The few people in the bar must have been thinking that all they were seeing was just a kiss. They didn't know that this kiss stood for my whole life - and his life, as well. The life of anyone who has waited, dreamed, and searched for their true path. The moment of that kiss contained every happy moment I had ever lived. Paulo Coelho
Oh well, maybe the only beauty left in cities is in the oil slicks on the road and maybe there isn't any beauty left in the people who live in these places. Rita Mae Brown
I will have nothing to do with a God who cares only occasionally. I need a God who is with us always, everywhere, in the deepest depths as well as the highest heights. It is when things go wrong, when good things do not happen, when our prayers seem to have been lost, that God is most present. We do not need the sheltering wings when things go smoothly. We are closest to God in the darkness, stumbling along blindly. Madeleine L'Engle
Consider the cattle, grazing as they pass you by. They do not know what is meant by yesterday or today, they leap about, eat, rest, digest, leap about again, and so from morn till night and from day to day, fettered to the moment and its pleasure or displeasure, and thus neither melancholy nor bored. [...] A human being may well ask an animal: 'Why do you not speak to me of your happiness but only stand and gaze at me?' The animal would like to answer, and say, 'The reason is I always forget... Friedrich Nietzsche
M. F. K. Fisher quote: "A writing cook and a cooking writer must be bold at the desk..."
A writing cook and a cooking writer must be bold at the desk as well as the stove. M. F. K. Fisher
If I should go before the rest of you. Break not a flower nor inscribe a stone, Nor when I'm gone speak in a Sunday voice But be the usual selves that I have known. Weep if you must, Parting is hell, But life goes on, So sing as well. Joyce Grenfell
Writers say two things that strike me as nonsense. One is that you must follow an absolute schedule everyday. If you're not writing well, why continue it? I just don't think this grinding away is useful. Edmund White
