Workings Quotes (page 241)

He might dance down the street on his way to work, gaze into the eyes of a complete stranger and speak of love at first sight, or defend an apparently absurd idea. Warriors of light allow themselves days like these. He is not afraid to weep over ancient sorrows or feel joy at new discoveries. When he feels that the moment has arrived, he drops everything and goes off on some long-dreamed-of adventure. When he realises that he can do no more, he abandons the fight, but never blames himself for... Paulo Coelho
What a fate: to be condemned to work for a firm where the slightest negligence at once gave rise to the gravest suspicion! Were all the employees nothing but a bunch of scoundrels, was there not among them one single loyal devoted man who, had he wasted only an hour or so of the firm's time in the morning, was so tormented by conscience as to be driven out of his mind and actually incapable of leaving his bed? Franz Kafka
Conversion is not the smooth, easy-going process some men seem to think... It is wounding work, this breaking of the hearts, but without wounding there is no saving... Where there is grafting there will always be a cutting, the graft must be let in with a wound; to stick it onto the outside or to tie it on with a string would be of no use. Heart must be set to heart and back to back or there will be no sap from root to branch. And this, I say, must be done by a wound, by a cut. John Bunyan
John Burroughs quote: "For anything worth having one must pay the price; and the..."
For anything worth having one must pay the price; and the price is always work, patience, love, self-sacrifice. John Burroughs
They're around back," she calls down when Julie and I get out. "Planning their strategy." "Good for them," I say, confident that no strategy that isn't grounded in chaos theory is likely to work against a man like me. Richard Russo
By a man's finger-nails, by his coat-sleeve, by his boots, by his trouser-knees, by the callosities of his forefinger and thumb, by his expression, by his shirt-cuff? By each of these things a man's calling is plainly revealed. That all united should fail to enlighten the competent inquirer in any case is almost inconceivable. You know that a conjurer gets no credit when once he has explained his trick; and if I show you too much of my method of working, you will come to the conclusion that I... Arthur Conan Doyle
The pounding music, the cheers, the admiration work their way into my blood, and I can’t suppress my excitement. Cinna has given me a great advantage. No one will forget me. Not my look, not my name. Katniss. The girl who was on fire. Suzanne Collins
Jim Rohn quote: "Success Recipe: 2 cups faith, 2 cups love, 1 cup hard work, 1..."
Success Recipe: 2 cups faith, 2 cups love, 1 cup hard work, 1 cup persistence, 1 tbsp vision and a dash of swagger. Jim Rohn
Vladimir Nabokov quote: "Dostoevski's The Double is his best work though an obvious and..."
Dostoevski's The Double is his best work though an obvious and shameless imitation of Gogol's "Nose. Vladimir Nabokov
E. B. White quote: "It is a miracle that New York works at all. The whole thing is..."
It is a miracle that New York works at all. The whole thing is implausible. E. B. White
...in our time art is encrusted with a noisy, opaque, logorrhea of theory that prevents a work from coming into direct, media free, non-interpreted contact with its viewer (its reader, its listener) Milan Kundera
Here were these two, bandying little phrases, drawing purses, looking at cards, and both unconscious of how inarticulate all their real feelings were. Neither was wise enough to be sure of the working of the mind of the other. He could not tell how his luring succeeded. She could not realized that she was drifting, until he secured her address. Now she felt that she had yielded something - he, that he had gained a victory. Already he took control in directing the conversation. His words were... Theodore Dreiser
John Updike quote: "Death is easily fooled. If the churches don't work, a filter..."
Death is easily fooled. If the churches don't work, a filter will do. John Updike
Helen Gurley Brown quote: "The only thing that separates successful people from the ones..."
The only thing that separates successful people from the ones who aren't is the willingness to work very, very hard. Helen Gurley Brown
I seemed to hold two lives - the life of thought, and that of reality; and, provided the former was nourished with a sufficiency of the strange necromantic joys of fancy, the privileges of the latter might remain limited to daily bread, hourly work, and a roof of shelter. Charlotte Bronte
