Worldly Quotes (page 578)

How many of us have a love so true it spans eternity? A purity of need so clear it can remain strong in the face of all that the world throws at us? Thisis Karen Ann McNeil, the woman who fell to Earth, the woman for whom the people in her life never gave up waiting. Doug Coupland

Lawrence Ferlinghetti quote: "I have seen giraffes in junglejimstheir necks like lovewound..."
I have seen giraffes in junglejimstheir necks like lovewound around the iron circumstances of the world. Lawrence Ferlinghetti
It was this feminine conspiracy which made Southern society so pleasant. Women knew that a land where men were contented, uncontradicted ans safe in possession of unpunctured vanity was likely to be a very pleasant place for women to live. So, from the cradle to the grave, women strove to make men pleased with themselves, and the satisfied men repaid lavishly with gallantry and adoration. In fact, men willingly gave ladies everything in the world except credit for having intelligence. Margaret Mitchell
What is termed Sin is an essential element of progress. Without it the world would stagnate, or grow old, or become colourless. Oscar Wilde
Dwight L. Moody quote: "There’s not a denomination in the world that didn’t spring..."
There’s not a denomination in the world that didn’t spring from a revival. Dwight L. Moody
I am always sorry for the Puritan, for he guided his life against desire and against nature. He found what he thought was comfort, for he believed the spirit's safety was in negation, but he has never given the world one minute's joy or produced one symbol of the beautiful order of nature. He sought peace in bondage and his spirit became a prisoner. Robert Henri
I am in great terror of your understanding by which you penetrate into my world; and then I stand revealed and I have shared my kingdom with you. Anais Nin
There is no such thing as death. Life existed before we were born and will continue to exist after we leave this world. Same with love, it existed before and will go on forever. Paulo Coelho
J. D. Salinger's Holden Caulfield is a literary descendant of Huck Finn: more educated and sophisticated, the son of affluent New Yorkers, but like Huck a youthful runaway from a world of adult hypocrisy, venality and, to use one of his own favourite words, phoniness. What particularly appals Holden is the eagerness of his peers to adopt that corrupt grownup behaviour. David Lodge
Usually the recipe for a bestseller is to give people what they want. My challenge is and was: Give them what they do not expect. Be severe with them. The world of media is full of easy answers, wash-and-wear philosophies, instant ecstacies, what-me-worry Epiphanies. Probably readers want a little more. Umberto Eco
Nina Simone quote: "This is the world you have made yourself, now you have to live..."
This is the world you have made yourself, now you have to live in it. Nina Simone
The rain beat softly upon the shingles, inviting them to drowsiness and sleep. But they dared not yield. The rain was over; and the sun was turning the glistening world into a palace of gems. Kate Chopin
Who knew what evil lurked in the hearts of men? A copper, that's who. (...)You saw how close men lived to the beast. You realized that people like Carcer were not mad. They were incredibily sane. They were simply men without a shield. They'd looked at the world and realized that all the rules didn't have to apply to them, not if they didn't want them to. They weren't fooled by all the little stories. They shook hands with the beast. Terry Prachett
Horace Walpole quote: "The world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those..."
The world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel. Horace Walpole
