Willingly Quotes (page 699)

A blade of grass is a commonplace on Earth; it would be a miracle on Mars. Our descendants on Mars will know the value of a patch of green. And if a blade of grass is priceless, what is the value of a human being? Carl Sagan
you should not run for president because tactically you can win. The questions you have to ask are why you're running for president and what will you do when you are president. You shouldn't run until you know the answers to those questions. Joe Biden
If after hearing my songs just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend or perhaps to strike a loved one it will all have been worth the while. Tom Lehrer
Dean Koontz quote: "If you're still, and if you don't hope too much, peace will..."
If you're still, and if you don't hope too much, peace will come to you. It's a grace. But you have to choose happiness. Dean Koontz
Give me a book, a drink, and a beautiful woman. Then throw me in the sea. Ha-ha. The book will spoil the effect of the drink, the beautiful woman, and the sea. Naguib Mahfouz
The novel as a form is usually seen to be moral if its readers consider freedom, individuality, democracy, privacy, social connection, tolerance and hope to be morally good, but it is not considered moral if the highest values of a society are adherence to rules and traditional mores, the maintenance of hierarchical relationships, and absolute ideas of right and wrong. Any society based on the latter will find novels inherently immoral and subversive. Jane Smiley
The proverb says that 'The answer to a fool is silence'. Observation, however, indicates that almost any other answer will have the same effect in the long run. Idries Shah
in times like the present, men should utter nothing for which they would not willingly be responsible through time and eternity. Abraham Lincoln
In a very real sense not one of us is qualified, but it seems that God continually chooses the most unqualified to do his work, to bear his glory. If we are qualified, we tend to think that we have done the job ourselves. If we are forced to accept our evident lack of qualification, then there's no danger that we will confuse God's work with our own, or God's glory with our own. Madeleine L'Engle
Stephen King quote: "Give me what I want and I will go away"
Give me what I want and I will go away Stephen King
C. S. Lewis quote: "No net less wide than a man's whole heart, nor less fine of..."
No net less wide than a man's whole heart, nor less fine of mesh than love, will hold the sacred Fish. C. S. Lewis
Miaow Consider me. I sit here like Tiberius, inscrutable and grand. I will let "I dare not" wait upon "I would" and bear the twangling of your small guitar because you are my owl and foster me with milk. Why wet my paw? Just keep me in a bag and no one knows the truth. I am familiar with witches and stand a better chance in hell than you for I can dance on hot bricks, leap your height and land on all fours. I am the servant of the Living God. I worship in my way. Look into these slit green... Mark Haddon
The older I grow the less Christ's teaching says to me. I am sometimes very conscious that I am following the path of a leader who died when He was less than half as old as I am now. I see and feel things He never saw or felt. I know things He seems never to have known. Everybody wants a Christ for himself and those who think like him. Very well, am I at fault for wanting a Christ who will show me how to be an old man? All Christ's teaching is put forward with the dogmatism, the certainty,... Robertson Davies
Jodi Picoult quote: "a story will tell itself, when it’s ready"
a story will tell itself, when it’s ready Jodi Picoult
The chief problem about death, incidentally, is the fear that there may be no afterlife - a depressing thought, particularly for those who bothered to shave. Also, there is the fear that there is an afterlife but no one will know where it's being held. On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done as easily laying down. Woody Allen
