World Quotes (page 445)

The worst part of writing fiction is the fear of wasting your life behind a keyboard. The idea that, dying, you'll realize you only lived on paper. Your only adventures were make-believe, and while the world fought and kissed, you sat in some dark room masturbating and making money. Chuck Palahniuk
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "He will not let you come barging in to his world like the..."
He will not let you come barging in to his world like the proverbial bull in the china shop. Laurell K. Hamilton
Dean Koontz quote: "In this world only the paranoid survive."
In this world only the paranoid survive. Dean Koontz
Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences... Susan B. Anthony
We didn't start the fire. It was always burning. Since the world's been turning. We didn't start the fire. No we didn't light it. But we tried to fight it Billy Joel
Sometimes we know in our bones what we really need to do, but we're afraid to do it. Taking a chance and stepping beyond the safety of the world we've always known is the only way to grow, though and without risk there is no reward. Wil Wheaton
The main thing is the YOU beneath the clothes and skin--the ability to do, the will to conquer, the determination to understand and know this great, wonderful, curious world. W. E. B. Du Bois
Love is a form of prejudice. You love what you need, you love what makes you feel good, you love what is convenient. How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you'll never meet them. All right, so we do the best we can. Granted. But we must still realize that love is just the result of a chance encounter. Most people make too much of it. On these grounds a good fuck is not to be entirely scorned. But... Charles Bukowski
Nelson Goodman quote: "We make versions, and true versions make worlds."
We make versions, and true versions make worlds. Nelson Goodman
The question is very understandable, but no one has found a satisfactory answer to it so far. Yes, why do they make still more gigantic planes, still heavier bombs and, at the same time, prefabricated houses for reconstruction? Why should millions be spent daily on the war and yet there's not a penny available for medical services, artists, or for poor people? Why do some people have to starve, while there are surpluses rotting in other parts of the world? Oh, why are people so crazy? Anne Frank
Make up a story... For our sake and yours forget your name in the street; tell us what the world has been to you in the dark places and in the light. Don't tell us what to believe, what to fear. Show us belief's wide skirt and the stitch that unravels fear's caul. Toni Morrison
Humanity takes itself too seriously. It is the world's original sin. If the cave-man had known how to laugh, History would have been different. Oscar Wilde
Dorothy Allison quote: "Fiction is the great liar that tells the truth about how the..."
Fiction is the great liar that tells the truth about how the world really lives. Dorothy Allison
Science has eliminated distance? Melquades proclaimed. ?In a short time, man will be able to see what is happening in any place in the world without leaving his own house. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Sin and grace, absence and presence, tragedy and comedy, they divide the world between them and where they meet head on, the Gospel happens. Frederick Buechner
