Scratching Quotes

Business is never so healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching around for what it gets Picture Quote #1

There's a whining at the threshold - there's a scratching at the floor - to work! To work! In Heaven's name! The wolf is at the door! Picture Quote #1

Philosophy hasn't made any progress? - If somebody scratches the spot where he has an itch, do we have to see some progress? Isn't genuine scratching otherwise, or genuine itching itching? And can't this reaction to an irritation continue in the same way for a long time before a cure for the itching is discovered? Picture Quote #1

This is how sad my life is: I got a scar from scratching my chicken pox too much. That's my big scar story. I really have no major scars Picture Quote #1

Many of my friends and family are scratching it out somewhere decidedly south of the ever widening gap between the haves and have nots, looking at losing their homes, colleges they can’t afford and healthcare they can’t avail themselves of Picture Quote #1

The first four months of writing the book, my mental image is scratching with my hands through granite. My other image is pushing a train up the mountain, and it’s icy, and I’m in bare feet Picture Quote #1

When once the itch of literature comes over a man, nothing can cure it but the scratching of a pen. But if you have not a pen, I suppose you must scratch any way you can Picture Quote #1

Writing stories is my way of scratching that itch: my escape from the claustrophobia of individuality. It lets me, at least for a while, live more than one life, walk more than one path. Reading, of course, can do the same Picture Quote #1

When we weren’t scratching each other’s eyes out, we were making each other laugh harder than anyone else could Picture Quote #1

... if it isn’t literally true that my wanting is causally responsible for my reaching, and my itching is causally responsible for my scratching, and my believing is causally responsible for my saying... If none of that is literally true, then practically everything I believe about anything is false and it’s the end of the world Picture Quote #1

My neediness is not a hole to be filled but something beneath the skin scratching to get out Picture Quote #1

I was still owed an explanation, I thought, but so what? What good was it going to do me? It wouldn’t have made me any happier. It was like scratching when you have chicken pox. You think it’s going to help, but the itch moves over, and then moves over again. My itch suddenly felt miles away, and I couldn’t have reached it with the longest arms in the world. Realizing that made me scared that I was going to be itchy forever, and I didn’t want that Picture Quote #1

The vast majority of terrestrial species are in fact microbes, and scientists have only begun scratching the surface of the microbial realm. It is entirely possible that examples of life as we don’t know it have so far been overlooked Picture Quote #1

My kids love vinyl, I had to teach them how to put the needle on the records. Now they’re worried about scratching the records, but it’s incredible! Picture Quote #1

When I get off a flight, I’m not trying to sit there and let them take pictures of me. I’m tired. I’m scratching my eyes. I just don’t like taking pictures in general Picture Quote #1

Life is a lone wolf, scratching out a living with teeth and claws and a heart of stone Picture Quote #1

Books don’t offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw Picture Quote #1

Petting, scratching, and cuddling a dog could be as soothing to the mind and heart as deep meditation and almost as good for the soul as prayer Picture Quote #1

Now before we get into anything, ladies, no scratching, no spitting and no tattling to mummy Picture Quote #1

He loved the scratching of pencil against paper when he was focused: it meant something was happening Picture Quote #1

She let him finish, scratching his head with the tips of her fingers, and without his having revealed that he was weeping from love, she recognized immediately the oldest sobs in the history of man Picture Quote #1

England has the most sordid literary scene I've ever seen. They all meet in the same pub. This guy's writing a foreword for this person. They all have to give radio programs, they have to do all this just to scrape by. They're all scratching each other's backs Picture Quote #1

Each in the most hidden sack kept the lost jewels of memory, intense love, secret nights and permanent kisses, the fragment of public or private happiness. A few, the wolves, collected thighs, other men loved the dawn scratching mountain ranges or ice floes, locomotives, numbers. For me happiness was to share singing, praising, cursing, crying with a thousand eyes. I ask forgiveness for my bad ways: my life had no use on earth Picture Quote #1
