Willfulness Quotes (page 312)

Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "Our own humble and meek ones, fasters and keepers of silence,..."

All good things require effort. That which is worth having will cost part of your physical being, your intellectual power, and your soul power—‘Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.’ (Matt. 7:7.) But you have to seek, you have to knock. On the other hand, sin thrusts itself upon you. It walks beside you, it tempts you, it entices, it allures. You do not have to put forth effort. … Evil seeks you, and it requires effort and fortitude... David O. McKay
Life is not governed by will or intention. Life is a question of nerves, and fibres, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams. Oscar Wilde
When people are insulting you, there is nothing so good for them as not to say a word -- just to look at them and think. When you will not fly into a passion people know you are stronger than they are, because you are strong enough to hold in your rage, and they are not, and they say stupid things they wished they hadn't said afterward. There's nothing so strong as rage, except what makes you hold it in -- that's stronger. It's a good thing not to answer your enemies. Frances Hodgson Burnett
There are all different kinds of freedom, and the kind that is most precious you will not hear much talked about in the great outside world of winning and achieving and displaying.

That is real freedom. The alternative is unconsciousness, the default setting,... David Foster Wallace
Suzanne Collins quote: "But the words are easy and soothing, promising tomorrow will..."

People will want you to behave a certain way, to make a certain choice because it reinforces the way they see the world...But you have to do what's right for you. Jennifer Weiner
Even if I overcompensate, nobody will ever want me. Not Seth. Not my folks. You can’t kiss someone who has no lips. Oh, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me. I’ll be anybody you want me to be Chuck Palahniuk
How beautiful you are! You are more beautiful in anger than in repose. I don't ask you for your love; give me yourself and your hatred; give me yourself and that pretty rage; give me yourself and that enchanting scorn; it will be enough for me. Charles Dickens
Katniss, I don't think President Snow will kill Peeta. If he does, he won't have any way to hurt you."So, what do you think they'll do to him?" I ask."Whatever it takes to break you. Suzanne Collins
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "We may get to know the world however we choose, it will always..."
We may get to know the world however we choose, it will always keep a day and night aspect. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Our system requires a continuous supply of highly capable people who are so disgruntled with their jobs that they are willing to chew off their own arms to escape their bosses. Scott Adams
I don't know if I have the strength to care for Yukiko and the children, I thought. No more visions can help me, weaving special dreams just for me. As far as the eye can see, the void is simply that? a void. I've been in that void before and forced myself to adjust. And now, finally, I end up where I began and I'd better get used to it. No one will weave dreams for me? it is my turn to weave dreams for others. That's what I have to do. Such dreams may have no power, but if my own life... Haruki Murakami
What will you do?"Oh, hell, I'll write a novel about writing the screenplay and making the movie."What are you going to call it?"Hollywood."Hollywood?"Yes..."And here it is. (Hollywood, pg. 239) Charles Bukowski
The way I feel about you will never change. Of course I love you—and there's nothing you can do about it!” “That's all I needed to hear. Stephenie Meyer
