Worldly Quotes (page 547)

All he had ever prayed for was the ability to catch outfield flies, in answer to which God had bestowed upon him a penis that was bigger than anybody else's. What kind of world came up with such idiotic bargains? Haruki Murakami
And do you know, do you know that mankind can live without the Englishman, it can live without Germany, it can live only too well without the Russian man, it can live without science, without bread, and it only cannot live without beauty, for then there would be nothing at all to do in the world! The whole secret is here, the whole of history is here. Science itself would not stand for a minute without beauty Fyodor Dostoevsky
Freedom continues to be the thing I prize most in the world. Of course, this has led me to drink wines I did not like, to do things I should not have done and which I will not do again; it has left scars on my body and on my soul, it has meant hurting certain people, although I have since asked their forgiveness, when I realized that I could do absolutely anything except force another person to follow me in my madness, in my lust for life. I don’t regret the painful times; I bear my scars... Paulo Coelho
Though the details differ across the world, no known culture lacks some version of the time-consuming, wealth consuming, hostility provoking rituals, the anti-factual, counter-productive fantasies of religion. Richard Dawkins
For the existing world is not a dream, and cannot with impunity be treated as a dream; neither is it a disease; but it is the ground on which you stand, it is the mother of whom you were born. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Paulo Coelho quote: "Considering the way the world is, one happy day is almost a..."
Considering the way the world is, one happy day is almost a miracle. Paulo Coelho
Jeffrey Eugenides quote: "The world, a tired performer, offers us another half-assed..."
The world, a tired performer, offers us another half-assed season. Jeffrey Eugenides
This is the material, by the way, that has kept me virtually anonymous in America for the past 15 years. Gee, I wonder why we're hated the world over? Look at these fat Americans in the front row - 'Why doesn't he just hit fruit with a hammer?' Folks, I could have done that, walked around being a millionaire and franchising myself but no, I had to have this weird thing about trying to illuminate the collective unconscious and help humanity. Fucking moron. Bill Hicks
Ella Wheeler Wilcox quote: "laugh and the world laughs with you. weep and weep alone"
laugh and the world laughs with you. weep and weep alone Ella Wheeler Wilcox
In the night's in their thousands to dream the dreams of a child's imaginings, worlds rich or fearful such as might offer themselves but never the one to be. Cormac McCarthy
Cormac McCarthy quote: "Each the others world entire."
Each the others world entire. Cormac McCarthy
Don't you think it's strange that life, described as so rich and full, a camel-trail of adventure, should shrink to this coin-sized world? A head on one side, a story on the other. Someone you loved and what happened. That's all there is when you dig in your pockets. The most significant thing is someone else's face. What else is embossed on your hands but her? Jeanette Winterson
Richard Bach quote: "Live never to be ashamed if anything you do or say is..."
Live never to be ashamed if anything you do or say is published around the world. Richard Bach
We were all brought up to want things and maybe the world isn't big enough for all that wanting. I don't know. I don't know anything John Updike
He saw clearly how plain and simple - how narrow, even - it all was; but clearly, too, how much it all meant to him, and the special value of some such anchorage in one's existence. He did not at all want to abandon the new life and its splendid spaces, to turn his back on sun and air and all they offered him and creep home and stay there; the upper world was all too strong, it called to him still, even down there, and he knew he must return to the larger stage. But it was good to think he... Kenneth Grahame
