What If Quotes (page 73)

What am I going to do? I take a deep breath. My arms rise slightly—as if recalling the black-and-white wings Cinna gave me—then come to rest at my sides. “I’m going to be the Mockingjay. Suzanne Collins

If he had known how many men in history have had to use a hill to die one it would not have cheered him any for, in the moment he was passing through, men are not impressed by what has happened to the other men in similar circumstances any more than a widow of one day is helped by the knowledge that other loved husbands have died. Ernest Hemingway

If flying-saucer creatures or angels or whatever were to come here in a hundred years, say, and find us gone like the dinosaurs, what might be a good message for humanity to leave for them, maybe carved in great big letters on a Grand Canyon wall? Here is this old poop's suggestion: WE PROBABLY COULD HAVE SAVED OURSELVES, BUT WERE TOO DAMNED LAZY TO TRY VERY HARD... Kurt Vonnegut
If we know exactly where we're going, exactly how to get there, and exactly what we'll see along the way, we won't learn anything. M. Scott Peck
If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planed for you? Not much. Jim Rohn
Jane Austen quote: "If I could not be persuaded into doing what I thought wrong, I..."
If I could not be persuaded into doing what I thought wrong, I will never be tricked into it. Jane Austen
What we ask is to be human individuals, however peculiar and unexpected. It is no good saying: "You are a little girl and therefore you ought to like dolls"; if the answer is, "But I don't," there is no more to be said. Dorothy L. Sayers
Albert Camus quote: "What did it matter if he existed for two or for twenty years?..."
What did it matter if he existed for two or for twenty years? Happiness was the fact that he had existed. Albert Camus

What use, after all, is man, if not to teach God His lessons? Peter Shaffer
Soren Kierkegaard quote: "What is existence for but to be laughed at if men in their..."
What is existence for but to be laughed at if men in their twenties have already attained the utmost? Soren Kierkegaard
