Wrongly Quotes (page 105)

George Orwell quote: "Hitherto, the rights and wrongs had seemed so beautifully simple."
Hitherto, the rights and wrongs had seemed so beautifully simple. George Orwell
When any person harms you, or speaks badly of you, remember that he acts or speaks from a supposition of its being his duty. Now, it is not possible that he should follow what appears right to you, but what appears so to himself. Therefore, if he judges from a wrong appearance, he is the person hurt, since he too is the person deceived. For if anyone should suppose a true proposition to be false, the proposition is not hurt, but he who is deceived about it. Setting out, then, from these... Epictetus
I tended to be hard on the egos of a certain kind of men. The ones who normally swept women off their feet had never moved me much, because I'd always felt that if they swept me off my feet they'd practiced on a lot of women before me, and would practice more with women after me. I'd rarely been wrong on that. ~Anita Blake Laurell K. Hamilton
Jodi Picoult quote: "Sometimes you can see things happen right in front of your..."
Sometimes you can see things happen right in front of your eyes and still jump to the wrong conclusions. Jodi Picoult
V. S. Naipaul quote: "It isn't that there's no right and wrong here. There's no right."
It isn't that there's no right and wrong here. There's no right. V. S. Naipaul
BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT, IS THAT THE IDEA? “That’s about the size of it, master. A good god line, that. Don’t give ’em too much and tell ’em to be happy with it. Jam tomorrow, see.” THIS IS WRONG. Death hesitated. I MEAN…IT’S RIGHT TO BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT. BUT YOU’VE GOT TO HAVE SOMETHING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT HAVING. THERE’S NO POINT IN BEING HAPPY ABOUT HAVING NOTHING. Terry Prachett
Jane Austen quote: "If one scheme of happiness fails, human nature turns to..."
If one scheme of happiness fails, human nature turns to another; if the first calculation is wrong, we make a second better. Jane Austen
Robert Louis Stevenson quote: "Some day...after I am dead, you may perhaps come to learn the..."
Some day...after I am dead, you may perhaps come to learn the right and wrong of this. I cannot tell you. Robert Louis Stevenson
We’re all good when it suits us, he used to say: that doesn’t count. It’s when you want so badly to do something wrong—when you’re about to make a fortune from a dishonest deal, or kiss the lovely lips of your neighbor’s wife, or tell a lie to get yourself out of terrible trouble—that’s when you need the rules. Your integrity is like a sword, he would say: you shouldn’t wave it until you’re about to put it to the test. Ken Follet
Philip Larkin quote: "It never worked for me. Something to do with violence A long..."
It never worked for me. Something to do with violence A long way back, and wrong rewards, And arrogant eternity. Philip Larkin
Solitude favors the original, the daringly and otherworldly beautiful, the poem. But it also favors the wrongful, the extreme, the absurd, and the forbidden. Thomas Mann
Nora Roberts quote: "When you could dissect something and find all the answers, you..."
When you could dissect something and find all the answers, you could find all the wrong ones Nora Roberts
I still felt as a wanderer on the face of the earth, but i experienced firmer trust in myself and my own powers and less withering dread of oppression. The gaping wound of my wrongs, too, was now quite healed, and the flame of resentment extinguished Charlotte Bronte
I didn't start running because somebody asked me to become a runner. Just like I didn't become a novelist because someone asked me to. One day, out of the blue, I wanted to write a novel. And one day, out of the blue, I started to run-simply because I wanted to. I've always done whatever I felt like doing in life. People may try to stop me, and convince me I'm wrong, but I won't change. Haruki Murakami
But secondly you say 'society must exact vengeance, and society must punish'. Wrong on both counts. Vengeance comes from the individual and punishment from God. Victor Hugo
