Would Quotes (page 399)

The Church has done many difficult things, and from these achievements one would not wish to detract. But all the easy things the Church has had to do have been done. From now on it is high adventure! Neal A. Maxwell
Oliver Cromwell quote: "Do not trust to the cheering, for those very persons would..."
Do not trust to the cheering, for those very persons would shout as much if you and I were going to be hanged. Oliver Cromwell
I have been writing my heart out all my life, but only getting a living out of it now, and the attacks are coming in thick. A lot of people are mad and jealous and bitter and I only hope they also can be heard by an expanding publishing program the size of Russia's. Because it's not a question of the merit of art, but a question of spontaneity and sincerity and joy I say. I would like everybody in the world to tell his full life confession and tell it HIS OWN WAY and then we'd have something... Jack Kerouac
She was also, by the standards of other people, lost. She would not see it like that. She knew where she was, it was just that everywhere else didn't. Terry Prachett
I would never have named them in thefirst place as they are not the ones I hold responsible. It's the organization that's to blame, the high officials are the ones to blame. Franz Kafka
If you looked down to the bottom of my soul, you would understand fully the source of my longing and? pity me. Even the open, transparent lake has its unknown depths, which no divers know. Hans Christian Andersen
Soren Kierkegaard quote: "I would rather be a swineherd, understood by the swine, than a..."
I would rather be a swineherd, understood by the swine, than a poet misunderstood by men. Soren Kierkegaard
Like most others, I was a seeker, a mover, a malcontent, and at times a stupid hell-raiser. I was never idle long enough to do much thinking, but I felt somehow that some of us were making real progress, that we had taken an honest road, and that the best of us would inevitably make it over the top. At the same time, I shared a dark suspicion that the life we were leading was a lost cause, that we were all actors, kidding ourselves along on a senseless odyssey. It was the tension between... Hunter S. Thompson
Anne Sexton quote: "Now I am going back And I have ripped my hand From your..."
Now I am going back And I have ripped my hand From your hand as I said I would And I have made it this far ... Anne Sexton
His own faith, however, was not lacking in virtues since it consisted in acknowledging obscurely that he would be granted much without ever deserving anything. Albert Camus
Nell's husband has short-man syndrome. Eddie is one of those deadly dull people who is so upbeat that I suspect he would subconsciously like to go through the neighborhood, house by house, with a machine gun. He seems oblivious to the effect that his long, rambling monologues have on people - he doesn't notice the blank faces, the fingers flexing like those of people buried alive, the ocular tics. You could write down his words verbatim, show them to him, and he'd probably say, 'I know... Anne Lamott
In fact, were it given to our human eye to see into the consciences of others, we would judge a man much more surely from what he dreams than from what he thinks. There is will in the thought, there is none in the dream. Even in the gigantic and the ideal, the dream, which is completely spontaneous, takes and keeps the form of our mind. Nothing springs more directly and more sincerely from our innermost souls than our unreflected and indefinite aspirations, much more than in ideas, which are... Victor Hugo
Larry McMurtry quote: "Only a rank degenerate would drive 1,500 miles across Texas..."
Only a rank degenerate would drive 1,500 miles across Texas without eating a chicken fried steak. Larry McMurtry
Rita Mae Brown quote: "If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done."
If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done. Rita Mae Brown
When my friend Melot set the trap, I think I knew it. I turned to death full face, as I had turned to love with my whole body. I would let death enter me as you had entered me. You had crept along my blood vessels through the wound, and the blood that circulates returns to the heart. You circulated me, you made me blush like a girl in the hoop of your hands. You were in my arteries and my lymph, you were the colour just under my skin, and if I cut myself, it was you I bled. Red Isolde, alive... Jeanette Winterson
