Which Quotes (page 595)

For the existing world is not a dream, and cannot with impunity be treated as a dream; neither is it a disease; but it is the ground on which you stand, it is the mother of whom you were born. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Jane Austen quote: "I certainly have not the talent which some people possess, of..."
I certainly have not the talent which some people possess, of conversing easily with those I have never seen before. Jane Austen
Cites and Thrones and Powers. Stand in Time's eye. Which daily die; But, as new buds put forth. To glad new men, Out of the spend and unconsidered Earth, The cities will rise again Rudyard Kipling
The most worthless of mankind are not afraid to condemn in others the same disorders which they allow in themselves; and can readily discover some nice difference in age, character, or station, to justify the partial distinction. Edward Gibbon
George Orwell quote: "His answer to every problem, every setback, was "I will work..."
His answer to every problem, every setback, was "I will work harder!"-which he had adopted as his personal motto. George Orwell
Louisa May Alcott quote: "Wouldn't it be fun if all the castles in the air which we make..."
Wouldn't it be fun if all the castles in the air which we make could come true and we could live in them? Louisa May Alcott
Joseph Conrad quote: "for there is nothing mysterious to a seaman unless it be the..."

We were little animals, which is not to imply that by the end of the week we were tearing our tank tops off; just that, metaphorically speaking, we had begun to sniff each other's bottoms, and we did not find the odor entirely repellent. Nick Hornby
And there was a voice, a high clear, female voice, which said "Ow", and then, very quietly, it said "Fuck", and then it said "Ow", once more. Neil Gaiman
Stephen King quote: "Art should be a place of hope, not doubt. And your doubts..."
Art should be a place of hope, not doubt. And your doubts rise from inexperience, which is not a dishonorable thing. Stephen King
I cannot believe that our factory system is the best mode by which men may get clothing. The condition of the operatives is becoming every day more like that of the English; and it cannot be wondered at, since, as far as I have heard or observed, the principal object is, not that mankind may be well and honestly clad, but, unquestionably, that corporations may be enriched. In the long run men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at... Henry David Thoreau
As for the river, it just kept moving, as river do--as rivers do. Under the logs, the body of the young Canadian moved with the river, which jostled him to and fro--to and fro. If, at this moment in time Twisted River also appeared restless, even impatient, maybe the river itself wanted the boy's body to move on, too, move on, too. John Irving
And that is enough to raise your thoughts to what may happen when the redeemed soul, beyond all hope and nearly beyond belief, learns at last that she has pleased Him whom she was created to please. There will be no room for vanity then. She will be free from the miserable illusion that it is her doing. With no taint of what we should now call self-approval she will most innocently rejoice in the thing that God has made her to be, and the moment which heals her old inferiority complex forever... C. S. Lewis
He feared that principle, active principle, had been wanting; that they had never been properly taught to govern their inclinations and tempers by that sense of duty which can alone suffice. They had been instructed theoretically in their religion, but never required to bring it into daily practice. Jane Austen

Jack Kerouac
