Willingly Quotes (page 448)

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "What is uttered from the heart alone will win the heart of..."
What is uttered from the heart alone will win the heart of others to your own. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Mr. Wodehouse's idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in. Evelyn Waugh
Annie Dillard quote: "I do not so much write a book as sit up with it, as a dying..."
I do not so much write a book as sit up with it, as a dying friend. I hold its hand and hope it will get better. Annie Dillard
Every human being on the face of the earth has a steel plate in his head, but if you lie down now and then and get still as you can, it will slide open like elevator doors, letting in all the secret thoughts that have been standing around so patiently, pushing the button for a ride to the top. The real troubles in life happen when those hidden doors stay closed for too long. Sue Monk Kidd
Bad people...are in conflict with themselves; they desire one thing and will another, like the incontinent who choose harmful pleasures instead of what they themselves believe to be good. Aristotle
We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. Martin Luther King jr.
I didn't know what hate felt like, not the hate that comes after love. It's huge and desperate and it longs to be proved wrong. And every day it's proved right it grows a little more monstrous. If the love was passion, the hate will be obsession. A need to see the once-loved weak and cowed beneath pity. Disgust is close and dignity is far away. The hate is not only for the once loved, it's for yourself too; how could you ever have loved this? Jeanette Winterson
Homer quote: "There will be killing till the score is paid."
There will be killing till the score is paid. Homer
Anyone who does not acknowledge the darkness in his nature will succumb to it...the lamp of conviction needs to be shaded by doubt, or it burns with a blinding light. Philip Caputo
The things a man has heard and seen are threads of life, and if he pull them carefully from the confused distaff of memory, any who will can weave them into whatever garments of belief please them best. I too have woven my garment like another, but I shall try to keep warm in it, and shall be well content if it do not unbecome me. William Butler Yeats
I had neither kith nor kin in England, and was therefore as free as air -- or as free as an income of eleven shillings and sixpence a day will permit a man to be. Under such circumstances, I naturally gravitated to London, that great cesspool into which all the loungers and idlers of the Empire are irresistibly drained. Arthur Conan Doyle
Richard Bach quote: "I do not exist to impress the world. I exist to live my life..."
I do not exist to impress the world. I exist to live my life in a way that will make me happy. Richard Bach
Pablo Picasso quote: "If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... but..."
If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... but surely you will see the wildness! Pablo Picasso
Napoleon Bonaparte quote: "Let Him Sleep...For When He Wakes, He Will Move Mountains."
Let Him Sleep...For When He Wakes, He Will Move Mountains. Napoleon Bonaparte
It happened that a fire broke out backstage in a theater. The clown came out to inform the public. They thought it was a jest and applauded. He repeated his warning. They shouted even louder. So I think the world will come to an end amid the general applause from all the wits who believe that it is a joke. Soren Kierkegaard
