I think I’ve been wishing for celebrity for so long that I’ve got used to being someone who’s petitioning the establishment for acceptance... my whole schtick, my whole identity, is so wrapped up in being a petitioner that I don’t really know how to react now that petition has been granted (Granted Quotes)
Awareness requires a rupture with the world we take for granted; then old categories of experience are called into question and revised (Granted Quotes)

The man who has received a benefit ought always to remember it, but he who has granted it ought to forget the fact at once (Granted Quotes)
Granted, not really a joke, but how often do you get a mic in your hand? You know? So. I am sorry but don’t anybody trip on my soap box on the way out. Don’t anybody trip over that. And the chip on my shoulder’s a little heavy. I have back problems now (Granted Quotes)

A favor tardily bestowed is no favor; for a favor quickly granted is a more agreeable favor (Granted Quotes)

Punctuationally speaking, wonder is a period at the end of a statement we’ve long taken for granted, suddenly looking up and seeing the sinuous curve of a tall black hat on its head, and realizing it was a question mark all along (Granted Quotes)
Surely it is a sin to reject the few gifts we are given. Be happy in the flash of time granted to us or hurt forever (Granted Quotes)
Most great works of the imagination were meant to make you feel like a stranger in your own home. The best fiction always forced us to question what we took for granted. It questioned traditions and expectations when they seemed to immutable (Granted Quotes)
Funny how we take it for granted that we know all there is to know about another person, just because we see them frequently or because of some strong emotional tie (Granted Quotes)
An entire life spent reading would have fulfilled my every desire; I already knew that at the age of seven. The texture of the world is painful, inadequate; unalterable, or so it seems to me. Really, I believe that an entire life spent reading would have suited me best. Such a life has not been granted me (Granted Quotes)
That did it. I’d gone through a lot in the past few days. Everyone I met seemed to want a piece of me: djinn, magicians, humans... it made no difference.I’d been summoned, manhandled, shot at, captured, constricted, bossed about and generally taken for granted. And now, to cap it all, this bloke is joining in too, when all I’d been doing was quietly trying to kill him (Granted Quotes)
Friendship is a simple thing, and yet complicated; friendship is on the surface, something natural, something taken for granted, and yet underneath one could find worlds (Granted Quotes)
The tension of opposites: Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted. A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle (Granted Quotes)
Our entire society is based on discontent. People wanting more and more and more. Being constantly dissatisfied with their homes, their bodies, their décor, their clothes, everything – taking it for granted that that’s the whole point of life. Never to be satisfied. If you are perfectly happy with what you got, especially if what you got isn’t even all the spectacular then you’re dangerous. You’re breaking all the rules. You’re undermining the sacred economy. You’re challenging every assumption that society is built on (Granted Quotes)
Always sleep with one eye open. Never take anything for granted. Your best friends might just be your enemies (Granted Quotes)
I’ve always assumed he’d be around to be, you know, yelled at and taken for granted. And of course I was wrong. Nobody’s going to put up with that forever (Granted Quotes)
I had wanted to live forever as a gypsy girl; I had wanted to live forever as a child, tumbling down a rabbit hole. I had been granted both wishes, only to find immortality was not what it had promised to be; instead of a passport to the future, it was a yoke that bound me to the past (Granted Quotes)
So much of liberalism in its classical sense is taken for granted in the west today and even disrespected. We take freedom for granted, and because of this we don’t understand how incredibly vulnerable it is (Granted Quotes)
You proclaim that one should die for the highest virtues, because you take it for granted that nobody’s been living for them, not even for a single hour (Granted Quotes)
In my small way, I preserved and catalogued, and dipped into the vast ocean of learning that awaited, knowing all the time that the life of one man was insufficient for even the smallest part of the wonders that lay within. It is cruel that we are granted the desire to know, but denied the time to do so properly. We all die frustrated; it is the greatest lesson we have to learn (Granted Quotes)
If a guy is taking his girl for granted, he really deserves a slap, with a baseball bat (Granted Quotes)
For something to be great, there has to be some kind of trial or some type of struggle that actually makes it special or valuable to you. Otherwise, anything could be easily taken for granted (Granted Quotes)
Listen to me: everything you think you know, every relationship you’ve ever taken for granted, every plan or possibility you’ve ever hatched, every conceit or endeavor you’ve ever concocted, can be stripped from you in an instant. Sooner or later, it will happen. So prepare yourself. Be ready not to be ready. Be ready to be brought to your knees and beaten to dust. Because no stable foundation, no act of will, no force of cautious habit will save you from this fact: nothing is indestructible (Granted Quotes)
