Whose Quotes (page 34)

She began to study with a teacher of teachers, whom they brought for that purpose from the city of Mompox, and who died unexpectedly two weeks later, and she continued for several years with the best musician at the seminary, whose gravedigger’s breath distorted her arpeggios. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I myself feel that our country, for whose Constitution I foughtin a just war, might as well have been invaded by Martians andbody snatchers. Sometimes I wish it had been. What has happened,though, is that it has been taken over by means of the sleaziest,low-comedy, Keystone Cops-style coup d'etat imaginable. Kurt Vonnegut
Henry David Thoreau quote: "That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest."
That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest. Henry David Thoreau
William Shakespeare quote: "But I am constant as the Northern Star, Of whose true fixed..."
But I am constant as the Northern Star, Of whose true fixed and resting quality. There is no fellow in the firmament. William Shakespeare
Commonsense has trampled down many a gentle genius whose eyes had delighted in a too early moonbeam of some too early truth; commonsense has back-kicked dirt at the loveliest of queer paintings because a blue tree seemed madness to its well-meaning hoof; commonsense has prompted ugly but strong nations to crush their fair but frail neighbors the moment a gap in history offered a chance that it would have been ridiculous not to exploit. Vladimir Nabokov
If I had a large amount of money I should certainly found a hospital for those whose grip upon the world is so tenuous that they can be severely offended by words and phrases and yet remain all unoffended by the injustice, violence and oppression that howls daily about our ears. Stephen Fry
His soul swayed in a vertigo of moral indecision. He had only to snap the thread of a rash vow made to a villainous society, and all his life could be as open and sunny as the square beneath him. He had, on the other other hand, only to keep his antiquated honour, and be delivered inch by inch into the power of this great enemy of mankind, whose very intellect was a torture-chamber. Whenever he looked down into the square he saw the comfortable policeman, a pillar of common sense and common... Gilbert K. Chesterton
My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, Shakes so my single state of man. That function is smothered in surmise, And nothing is but what is not. William Shakespeare
She smashes her knuckles into winter. As autumn's wind fades into black. She is the saint of all the sinners, the one whose fallen through the cracks...(i. Viva la Gloria!) Billie Joe Armstrong
What do you want with these special Jewish pains? I feel as close to the wretched victims of the rubber plantations in Putamayo and the blacks of Africa with whose bodies the Europeans play bal? I have no special corner in my heart for the ghetto: I am at home in the entire world, where there are clouds and birds and human tears. Rosa Luxemburg
I see young men, my townsmen, whose misfortune it is to have inherited farms, houses, barns, cattle, and farming tools; for these are more easily acquired than got rid of. Better if they had been born in the open pasture and suckled by a wolf, that they might have seen with clearer eyes what field they were called to labor in. Who made them serfs of the soil? Why should they eat their sixty acres, when man is condemned to eat only his peck of dirt? Why should they begin digging their graves... Henry David Thoreau
John Keats quote: "Here lies one whose name was writ on water."
Here lies one whose name was writ on water. John Keats
It is far better to endure patiently a smart which nobody feels but yourself, than to commit a hasty action whose evil consequences will extend to all connected with you. Charlotte Bronte
Ma? is an inextricable tangle of culture and biology. And not being simple, he is not simply good; he ha? a kind of hell within him from which rise everlastingly the impulses which threaten his civilization. He has the faculty of imagining for himself more in the way of pleasure and satisfaction than he can possibly achieve. Everything that he gains he pays for in more than equal coin; compromise and the compounding with defeat constitute his best way of getting through the world. His best... Lionel Trilling

[Moses] dedicated himself to the will of God, but not to the God whose will it was. Charles R. Swindoll
