Would Be Quotes (page 159)

The voice of the light remains ever so faint; images quiet as ancient constellations float across the domw of my dawning mind. They are indistinct fragments that never merge into a sensate picture. There would be a landscape I have not seen before, unfamiliar melodic echoes, whisperings in a chaos of tongues. Haruki Murakami
I hate solitude, but i'm afraid if intimacy. The substance of my life is a private conversation with myself which to turn into a dialogue would be equivalent to self-destruction. The company which I need is the company which a pub or a cafe will provide. I have never wanted a communion of souls. It's already hard enough to tell the truth to oneself. Iris Murdoch
If more politicians knew poetry, and more poets knew politics, I am convinced the world would be a little better place in which to live. John F. Kennedy
He had the air of a spy in a melodrama, missing nothing, liking nothing, looking forward to the great day when everything would be turned upside down. Kurt Vonnegut
In a word, God paints in many colors; but he never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white. In a sense our age has realized this fact, and expressed it in our sullen costume. For if it were really true that white was a blank and colorless thing, negative and non-committal, then white would be used instead of black and grey for the funereal dress of this pessimistic period. Which is not the case. Meanwhile I could not find my chalk. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Sometimes she did not know what she feared, what she desired: whether she feared or desired what had been or what would be, and precisely what she desired, she did not know. Leo Tolstoy
I was oppressed with a sense of vague discontent and dissatisfaction with my own life, which was passing so quickly and uninterestingly, and I kept thinking it would be a good thing if I could tear my heart out of my breast, that heart which had grown so weary of life. Anton Chekhov
Epictetus quote: "If you would be a reader, read; if a writer, write."
If you would be a reader, read; if a writer, write. Epictetus
If it weren't for the people, the god-damn people' said Finnerty, 'always getting tangled up in the machinery. If it weren't for them, the world would be an engineer's paradise. Kurt Vonnegut
Anne Rice quote: "Heaven would be Hell in no time if every cruel, selfish,..."
Heaven would be Hell in no time if every cruel, selfish, vicious soul went to Heaven. Anne Rice
Jane Austen quote: "If this man had not twelve thousand a year, he would be a very..."
If this man had not twelve thousand a year, he would be a very stupid fellow. Jane Austen
That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on. Margaret Atwood
because wherever I sat—on the deck of a ship or at a street caf in Paris or Bangkok—I would be sitting under the same glass bell jar, stewing in my own sour air. Sylvia Plath
GWENDOLENEven men of the noblest possible moral character are extremely susceptible to the influence of the physical charms of others. Modern, no less then Ancient History, supplies us with many most painful examples of what I refer to. If it were not so, indeed, History would be quite unreadable. Oscar Wilde
C. S. Lewis quote: "Do you not know how bashful friendship is? Friends - comrades..."
Do you not know how bashful friendship is? Friends - comrades - do not look at each other. Friendship would be ashamed... C. S. Lewis
