Turn Quotes

It was something... the way a person’s life picked up speed, the way a life was like a bullet aimed at one final target, impossible to slow or turn aside, and like the bullet, you were ignorant of what you were going to hit, would never know anything except the rush and the impact Picture Quote #1

This boy has negative charisma. He walks into a room and the oxygen starts to evaporate. I guess that’s why girls sleep with him. They find his awfulness transfixing. He’s like a lousy 1970’s disaster movie that they can’t bring themselves to turn off, even though it is making their life worse every minute they leave it on Picture Quote #1

I do not understand how anyone can live without some small place of enchantment to turn to Picture Quote #1

One is seduced and battered in turn. The result is presumably wisdom. Wisdom! We are clinging to life like lizards. Why is it so difficult to assemble those things that really matter in life and to dwell among them only? I am referring to certain landscapes, persons, beasts, books, rooms, meteorological conditions, fruits. In fact, I insist on it. A letter is like a poem, it leaps into life and shows very clearly the marks, perhaps I should say thumbprints, of an unwilling or unready composer Picture Quote #1

I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance Picture Quote #1

The essence of capitalism is to turn nature into commodities and commodities into capital. The live green earth is transformed into dead gold bricks, with luxury items for the few and toxic slag heaps for the many. The glittering mansion overlooks a vast sprawl of shanty towns, wherein a desperate, demoralized humanity is kept in line with drugs, television, and armed force Picture Quote #1

Sad words are just another beauty. A sad story means, this storyteller is alive. The next thing you know something fine will happen to her, something marvelous, and then she will turn around and smile Picture Quote #1

And wonder, dread and war have lingered in that land where loss and love in turn have held the upper hand Picture Quote #1

When I was a girl I would look out my bedroom window at the caterpillars; I envied them so much. No matter what they were before, no matter what happened to them, they could just hide away and turn into these beautiful creatures that could fly away completely untouched Picture Quote #1

If, in our world, there is any chance of becoming the person you haven’t yet become... will I know how to seize that chance, turn my life into a garden that will be completely different from my forebears’? Picture Quote #1

Governments will rise, and governments will fall, and man will do evil to man, and all we can do is turn our hearts to good Picture Quote #1

Sometimes when you least expect it, the tables turn and that scary feeling that has taken hold of you for so long somehow turns into hope Picture Quote #1

If you are faced with a mountain, you have several options. You can climb it and cross to the other side. You can go around it. You can dig under it. You can fly over it. You can blow it up. You can ignore it and pretend it’s not there. You can turn around and go back the way you came. Or you can stay on the mountain and make it your home Picture Quote #1

I listened, vaguely knowing now that I had committed some awful wrong that I could not undo, that I had uttered words I could not recall even though I ached to nullify them, kill them, turn back time to the moment before I had talked so that I could have another chance to save myself Picture Quote #1

There are many things I don’t know, but quite a few I do. I know you can’t be lost if you know where you are. I know that life is full of precious and fragile things, and not all of them are pretty. I know that the sun follows the moon and makes days, one after another. Time passes. The world turns, and we turn with it, and though we can never go back to the beginning, sometimes, we can start again Picture Quote #1

There’s something about seeing an adult you knew in childhood that makes them marginally vulnerable to you, and vice versa. There’s also something comforting in thinking that if they made it this far, relatively unscathed, then maybe you didn’t turn out half bad either Picture Quote #1

I thought about how unlikely it was I would ever meet any guy,fall in love, get married, have babies. Especially since I was going to spend the rest of my life in the cellar, where, in the not too distant future, I’d turn into a toadstool. I hoped I’d be the poisonous variety Picture Quote #1

If you look at a dancer in silence, his or her body will be the music. If you turn the music on, that body will become an extension of what you’re hearing Picture Quote #1

Even the most straightforward of paths could turn out to be more complicated than it seemd at first Picture Quote #1

It takes a year, nephew... a full turn of the calendar, to get over losing someone Picture Quote #1

I am like a machine being driven to excessive rotations: the bearings are incandescing and, in a minute, melted metal will begin to drip and everything will turn to nothing. Quick: get cold water, logic. I am pouring it over myself by the bucketload but the logic sizzles on the hot bearings and dissipates elusive white steam into the air Picture Quote #1

Cheap liquor is a magic potion that can turn you into a puppet cowboy before it kills you Picture Quote #1

It seems to me there’s this tyranny that’s not accidental or incidental, to make women feel compelled to look like somebody they’re not. I think the effort is being made to get us to turn our time and attention to this instead of important political issues Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to turn any of this into poetry / but / you’re so beautiful / flowers turn their heads to smell you Picture Quote #1

Maybe, in the final analysis, they saw me as something I wasn’t and I tried to turn them into something they could never be. I loved them all but maybe I never understood any of them. I don’t think they understood me Picture Quote #1

People’s souls are like gardens. You can’t turn your back on someone because his garden’s full of weeds. You have to give him water and lots of sunshine Picture Quote #1

We do not read in order to turn great works of fiction into simplistic replicas of our own realities, we read for the pure, sensual, and unadulterated pleasure of reading. And if we do so, our reward is the discovery of the many hidden layers within these works that do not merely reflect reality but reveal a spectrum of truths, thus intrinsically going against the grain of totalitarian mindsets Picture Quote #1

Each of us must turn inward and destroy in himself all that he thinks he ought to destroy in others Picture Quote #1

I will turn human anatomy into roses and stars and sea. I will dissect the beloveds body in metaphor Picture Quote #1

My enemies are everywhere. And sometimes, those we least suspect turn out to be our biggest threats Picture Quote #1
