Where Quotes (page 308)

I wonder if I don't give too much of myself to writing: I am always half where I am; the other half is feeding the furnace, kick-starting the heat of creativity. I am making love with someone but at the same time I'm noticing how this graceful hand across my belly might just fit in with the memory of lilacs in Albuquerque in 1974. Natalie Goldberg
Oswald Chambers quote: "Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate..."
Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way. Oswald Chambers
Chaos can be one means of arriving at a definable possibility, but if we look back at the works of Blake's youth chaos must be understood as something impossible, as a poetic violence and not as a calculated order. The chaos of the mind cannot constitute a reply to the providence of the universe. All it can be is an awakening in the night, where all that can be heard is anguished poetry let loose. Georges Bataille
Piece by piece, I fed my wardrobe to the night wind, and flutteringly, like a loved one’s ashes, the gray scraps were ferried off, to settle here, there, exactly where I would never know, in the dark heart of New York. Sylvia Plath
I think we should sometimes read stories where everything's different from our world, don't you agree? There's nothing's like it for teaching us to wonder why trees are green and not red, and why we have five fingers rather than six.'--spoken by The Bluejay, aka Mo the Bookbinder, from 'Inkdeath Cornelia Funke
Toni Morrison quote: "Say make me, remake me. You are free to do it and I am free to..."
Say make me, remake me. You are free to do it and I am free to let you because look, look. Look where your hands are. Now. Toni Morrison
You always knew where you stood with Quiezovercoatl. It was generally with a lot of people on top of a great stepped pyramid with someone in an elegant feathered headdress chipping an exquisite obsidian knife for your very own personal use. Terry Prachett
For the first time in longer than I can remember, I feel peaceful. Not happy. Not sad. Not anxious. Not horny. Just all the higher parts of my brain closing up shop. The cerebral cortex. The cerebellum. That's where my problem is. I'm now simplifying myself. Somewhere balanced in the perfect middle between happiness and sadness. Because sponges never have a bad day. Chuck Palahniuk
An army of principles will penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot. Neither the Channel nor the Rhine will arrest its progress. It will march on the horizon of the world and it will conquer. Thomas Paine
Nicholas Sparks quote: "That's my sweetheart in there. Wherever she is, that's where..."
That's my sweetheart in there. Wherever she is, that's where my home is. Nicholas Sparks
Charles Dickens quote: "Then tell Wind and Fire where to stop," returned madame; "but..."
Then tell Wind and Fire where to stop," returned madame; "but don't tell me. Charles Dickens
I rejoice that there are owls. Let them do the idiotic and maniacal hooting for men. It is a sound admirably suited to swamps and twilight woods which no day illustrates, suggesting a vast and undeveloped nature which men have not recognized. They represent the stark twilight and unsatisfied thoughts which all have. All day the sun has shown on the surface of some savage swamp, where the double spruce stands hung with usnea lichens, and small hawks circulate above, and the chickadee lisps... Henry David Thoreau
Back then I was still appalled that God would set down his barefoot boy and girl dollies into an Eden where, presumably, He had just turned loose elephantiasis and microes that eat the human cornea. Now I understand, God is not just rooting fo the dollies. Barbara Kingsolver
Tony Hillerman quote: "From where we stand the rain seems random. If we could stand..."
From where we stand the rain seems random. If we could stand somewhere else, we would see the order in it. Tony Hillerman
My books piled up before me for my use waiting in space where I placed them, they haven't disappeared, time's left its remnants and qualities for me to use -- my words piled up, my texts, my manuscripts, my loves. Allen Ginsberg
