Worldly Quotes (page 493)

I was thanking him for...well, for something I'm not sure I can explain even now. For showing me that something besides cruelty could be found in the world, I suppose. Arthur Golden
The only funny part about Colonial Dunsboro is maybe it's too authentic, but for all the wrong reasons. This whole crowd of losers and nutcases who hide out here because they can't make it in the real world, in real jobs? isn't this why we left England in the first place? To establish our own alternate reality. Weren't the Pilgrims pretty much the crackpots of their time? For sure, instead of just wanting to believe something different about God's love, the losers I work with want to find... Chuck Palahniuk
Then when dusk began to settle he would retrace his steps, back to his own world. And on the way home, a loneliness would always claim his heart. He could never quite get a grip on what it was. It just seemed that whatever lay waiting "out there" was all too vast, too overwhelming for him to possibly ever make a dent in. Haruki Murakami
Then they, too, lay down on mattresses stuffed with straw, hearing the music of the flies to buzz them to sleep, holding each other's hands as they dozed, thinking of the miracles by which love works its will in the world. Orson Scott Card
Alfred de Vigny quote: "The loveliest Muse in the world does not feed her owner; these..."

The Mississippi River towns are comely, clean, well built, and pleasing to the eye, and cheering to the spirit. The Mississippi Valley is as reposeful as a dreamland, nothing worldly about it . . . nothing to hang a fret or a worry upon. Mark Twain
You can't argue with the fools in the world. It's better to let them have their way, then trick them when they're not paying attention. Terry Goodkind

Gregory Bateson quote: "The major problems in the world are the result of the..."
The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between how nature works and the way people think Gregory Bateson
Blue as the evening sky, blue as cranesbill flowers, blue as the lips of drowned men and the heart of a blaze burning with too hot a flame. Yes, sometimes it was hot in this world, too. Hot and cold, light and dark, terrible and beautiful, it was everything all at once. It wasn't true that you felt nothing in the land of Death. You felt and heard and smelled and saw, but your heart remained strangely calm, as if it were resting before the dance began again. Peace. Was that the word? Cornelia Funke
If you sat around there long enough and heard all the phonies applauding and all, you got to hate everybody in the world, I swear you did. J. D. Salinger
Whenever I put the headset on now," he'd continued, "I really do understand what I find there. When those kids sing about 'She loves you,' yeah well, you know, she does, she's any number of people, all over the world, back through time, different colors, sizes, ages, shapes, distances from death, but she loves. And the 'you' is everybody. And herself. Oedipa, the human voice, you know, it's a flipping miracle." His eyes brimming, reflecting the color of beer."Baby," she said, helpless,... Thomas Pynchon
Simplicity has no name is free of desires. Being free of desires it is tranquil. And the world will be at peace of it's own accord. Lao Tzu

Marcel Proust
William Bennett quote: "A falsehood can run around the world while the truth is still..."
A falsehood can run around the world while the truth is still putting its shoes on. William Bennett
