Working It Quotes (page 8)

The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it's as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues. Terry Prachett
T. S. Eliot quote: "When a poet's mind is perfectly equipped for its work, it is..."
When a poet's mind is perfectly equipped for its work, it is constantly amalgamating disparate experiences. T. S. Eliot
I work it out. It is the act of reading itself I miss, the opportunity to retreat further and further from the wold until I have found some space, some air that isn't stale, that hasn't been breathed by my family a thousand times already. Nick Hornby
Religion promotes the hatred and spite against gays. From my point of view, I would ban religion completely. Organised religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into really hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate. Elton John
At some time in the recent past someone had decided to brighten the ancient corridors of the University by painting them, having some vague notion that Learning Should Be Fun. It hadn’t worked. It’s a fact known throughout the universes that no matter how carefully the colors are chosen, institutional decor ends up as either vomit green, unmentionable brown, nicotine yellow or surgical appliance pink. By some little-understood process of sympathetic resonance, corridors painted in those... Terry Prachett
One solution ... for the house of the future is to have a place called a ‘dirty room.’ This would be equipped with appliances for all cleaning problems, and into it would be dumped everything dirty. But in most American homes the way to have a dirty room is to have a small boy; that’s the way we worked it for a number of happy years. E. B. White
Robert Fulghum quote: "Above all, if what you've done is stupid, but it works, it..."
Above all, if what you've done is stupid, but it works, it ain't stupid. Robert Fulghum
He's a funny man, Dumbledore. I think he sort of wanted to give me a chance. I think he knows more or less everything that goes on here, you know. I reckon he had a pretty good idea we were going to try, and instead of stopping us, he just taught us enough to help. I don't think it was an accident he let me find out how the Mirror worked. It's almost like he thought I had the right to face Voldemort if I could... J. K. Rowling
Have faith to keep all the commandments of God, knowing that they are given to bless His children and bring them joy. [You] will encounter people who pick which commandments they will keep and ignore others that they choose to break. I call this the cafeteria approach to obedience. This practice of picking and choosing will not work. It will lead to misery. To prepare to meet God, one keeps all of His commandments. It takes faith to obey them, and keeping His commandments will strengthen that... Russell M. Nelson
Grandma Moses quote: "I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and..."
I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it. Grandma Moses
I never wear makeup when I'm not at work. It can make you forget what you look like, and I've grown to really love the way I look without it. Leighton Meester
When I first arrived in Los Angeles I became a little bogged down in the whole success thing. Now I'm at a place in my life and career where I just want to work. It's what I do and it makes me very happy. John Glover
The first time I read an excellent work, it is to me just as if I gained a new friend; and when I read over a book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting of an old one. George Gissing
H. R. Giger quote: "No, I didn't work it out upside down, I never turned it around."
No, I didn't work it out upside down, I never turned it around. H. R. Giger
A lot of what I've been learning in the last two years is due to therapy - about my sexuality, why things go wrong, why relationships haven't worked. It isn't anything to do with anybody else; it's to do with me. Boy George
