Would Be Quotes (page 168)

If man had his way, the plan of redemption would be an endless and bloody conflict. In reality, salvation was bought not by Jesus' fist, but by His nail-pierced hands; not by muscle but by love; not by vengeance but by forgiveness; not by force but by sacrifice. Jesus Christ our Lord surrendered in order that He might win; He destroyed His enemies by dying for them and conquered death by allowing death to conquer Him. Aiden Wilson Tozer
George R. R. Martin quote: "She would be no one if that was what it took. No one had no..."
She would be no one if that was what it took. No one had no holes inside her. George R. R. Martin
It was quiet in the cell. Rubashov heard only the creaking of his steps on the tiles. Six and a half steps to the door, whence they must come to fetch him, six and a half steps to the window, behind which night was falling. Soon it would be over. But when he asked himself, For what actually are you dying? he found no answer. Arthur Koestler
I'm not consciously hiding anything.' After Ruth said that she wondered whether it was true. Then again, who revealed everything - the irritation, the fears? How tiresome that would be. Amy Tan
Nobody gets everything in this life. You decide your priorities and you make your choices. I'd decided long ago that any cake I had would be eaten. Donald E. Westlake
She was like a bride-to-be who begins to feel her sickening qualms as the day approaches, and dares not speak her mind because so many preparations have been made on her behalf the happiness and convenience of so many good people would be put at risk. Ian Mcewan
There's no such thing as effortless beauty - you should know that. There's no effort which is not beautiful - lifting a heavy stone or loving you. Loving you is like lifting a heavy stone. It would be easier not to do it and I'm not quite sure why I am doing it. It takes all my strength and all my determination, and I said I wouldn't love someone again like this. Is there any sense in loving someone you can only wake up to by chance? Jeanette Winterson
one must submit, like a traveller who has to ascend a mountain: if the mountain was not there, the road would be both shorter and pleasanter; but there it is, and he must get over it. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I could see how you could do extreme things for the person you loved. Adam One said that when you loved a person, that love might not always get returned the way you wanted, but it was a good thing anyway because love went out all around you like an energy wave, and a creature you didn't know would be helped by it. Margaret Atwood
J. K. Rowling quote: "Snape was looking as though the first person to ask him for a..."
Snape was looking as though the first person to ask him for a Love Potion would be force-fed poison. J. K. Rowling
Sylvia Plath quote: "Perhaps, perhaps this would be the one to pull me out of my..."
Perhaps, perhaps this would be the one to pull me out of my plunge. Sylvia Plath
The powerless life raft, sloshing around the North Pacific, emits a vast, spreading plume of steam like that of an Iron Horse chugging full blast over the Continental Divide. Neither Hiro nor Eliot ever mentions, or even notices, the by-now-obvious fact that Fisheye is traveling with a small, self-contained nuclear power source.... As long as Fisheye refuses to notice this fact, it would be rude for them to bring it up. Neal Stephenson
Herman Melville quote: "I would be as free as air; and I'm down in the whole world's..."
I would be as free as air; and I'm down in the whole world's books. Herman Melville
Charles Dickens quote: "Did it ever strike you on such a morning as this that drowning..."
Did it ever strike you on such a morning as this that drowning would be happiness and peace? Charles Dickens
The whole bible is the working out of the relationship between God and man. God is not a dictator barking out orders and demanding silent obedience. Were it so, there would be no relationship at all. No real relationship goes just one way. There are always two active parties. We must have reverence and awe for God, and honor for the chain of tradition. But that doesn't mean we can't use new information to help us read the holy texts in new ways. A. J. Jacobs
