Why Quotes (page 139)

That he'll never let you down. That boy's got a heart the size of Kentucky, and he loves you. That's important. Take it from someone who knows. My mom used to tell me that whatever you do, marry someone who loves you more than you love him. And I listened to her. Why do you think Henry and I get along so well? I'm not saying that I don't love him, because I do. But if I ever left Henry or something, God forbid, ever happened to me, I don't think he'll be able to go on. And that guy would risk... Nicholas Sparks
When a man sleeps, he is steeped and lost in a limp toneless happiness: awake he is restless, tortured by his body and the illusion of existence. Why have men spent the centuries seeking to overcome the awakened body? Put it to sleep, that is a better way. Let it serve only to turn the sleeping soul over, to change the blood-stream and thus make possible a deeper and more refined sleep. Flann O'Brien
Odd that the brain could function on its own, without acquainting him with its purposes, its reasons. But the brain was an organ, like the spleen, heart, kidneys. And they went about their private activities. So why not the brain? Philip K. Dick
The Sims is an escapist vehicle for people who want to escape to where they already are, which is why I thought this game was made precisely for me. Chuck Klosterman
Diana Wynne Jones quote: "That's why I love spiders. 'If at first you don't succeed,..."
That's why I love spiders. 'If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again. Diana Wynne Jones
I don't believe in the god of the Christians who gave his son in order to save mankind. That's a myth. But why should it have arisen if it didn't express some deep-seated intuition in men? I don't know what I believe, because it's instinctive, and how can you describe instinct with words? I have an instinct that the power that rules us, human beings, animals and things, is a dark and cruel power and that everything has to be paid for, a power that demands an eye for an eye and a tooth for a... W. Somerset Maugham
Sherman Alexie quote: "Do you know why the Indian rain dances always worked? Because..."
Do you know why the Indian rain dances always worked? Because the Indians would keep dancing until it rained. Sherman Alexie
There is little consolation in the fact that millions of people are unhappier than we are. Why should other people's misery make us happier or more content? Azar Nafisi
Stanislaw Lec quote: "We understand everything; that is why we understand nothing."
We understand everything; that is why we understand nothing. Stanislaw Lec
Ah! These commercial interests -- spoiling the finest life under the sun. Why must the sea be used for trade -- and for war as well?...It would have been so much nicer just to sail about, with here and there a port and a bit of land to stretch one's legs on, buy a few books and get a change of cooking for a while. Joseph Conrad
We even make ourselves up, fusing what we are with what we wish into what we must become. I'm not sure why it must be so, but it is. Robert Fulghum
Joyce Carol Oates quote: "Writing is a consequence of having been 'haunted' by material...."
Writing is a consequence of having been 'haunted' by material. Why this is, no one knows. Joyce Carol Oates
Oh Christ, the exhaustion of not knowing anything. It's so tiring and hard on the nerves. It really takes it out of you, not knowing anything. You're given comedy and miss all the jokes. Every hour you get weaker. Sometimes, as I sit alone in my flat in London and stare at the window, I think how dismal it is, how heavy, to watch the rain and not know why it falls. Martin Amis
I can see why people find him [Hugo Chvez] charming. He's very ebullient, as they say. I've heard him make a speech, though, and he has a vice that's always very well worth noticing because it's always a bad sign: he doesn't know when to sit down. He's worse than Castro was. He won't shut up. Then he told me that he didn't think the United States landed on the moon and didn't believe in the existence of Osama bin Laden. He thought all of this was all a put-up job. He's a wacko. Christopher Hitchens
Stephen King quote: "on why he writes the things he writes:"Because I have the..."
on why he writes the things he writes:"Because I have the heart of a small boy... and I keep it in a jar on my desk. Stephen King
