While Quotes

The difference between the men and the boys in politics is, and always has been, that the boys want to be something, while the men want to do something Picture Quote #1

I grew up playing war. We threw dirt and rocks at each other. We’d lead attacks. We’d break up into squads. It became a neighborhood thing for a while, our neighborhood against the other neighborhood. There was always a war breaking out somewhere Picture Quote #1

It took us years to get into the mess that we got ourselves in at the end of 2008, and it’s going to take a while to get us out. We lost eight million jobs, we saw a financial system near collapse, we have a continuing housing crisis that we’re making progress on dealing with Picture Quote #1

I’ve had a few arguments with people, but I never carry a grudge. You know why? While you’re carrying a grudge, they’re out dancing Picture Quote #1

What it was at the time was literally a plea for, to get the pressure off for a while, to give her space to breathe. She was very unhappy. She was feeling pretty claustrophobic Picture Quote #1

It does no harm just once in a while to acknowledge that the whole country isn’t in flames, that there are people in the country besides politicians, entertainers, and criminals Picture Quote #1

The poet is in command of his fantasy, while it is exactly the mark of the neurotic that he is possessed by his fantasy Picture Quote #1

Scandal is great entertainment because it allows people to feel contempt, a moral emotion that gives feeling of moral superiority while asking nothing in return Picture Quote #1

While there are practical and sometimes moral reasons for the decomposition of the family, it coincides neither with what most people in society say they desire nor, especially in the case of children, with their best interests Picture Quote #1

Anytime I see someone blocking the aisle in the supermarket while talking on a phone, I want to ram that person with my shopping cart Picture Quote #1

Rarity gives a charm; so early fruits and winter roses are the most prized; and coyness sets off an extravagant mistress, while the door always open tempts no suitor Picture Quote #1

There’s people who watch shows while they’re preparing their dinners, and they don’t want to focus, and they don’t want to be challenged, and whatever. And then there’s people who want to really sit down and get into a character in a world, and feel like they’re expanding, or they have complex relationships, or whatever Picture Quote #1

I do like my hair. It took a while to come around to the fact that it was quite a unique value point Picture Quote #1

Be willing to step outside your comfort zone once in a while; take the risks in life that seem worth taking. The ride might not be as predictable if you’d just planted your feet and stayed put, but it will be a heck of a lot more interesting Picture Quote #1

If you’re lucky enough to still have grandparents, visit them, cherish them and celebrate them while you can Picture Quote #1

I work in a business environment forty hours a week, and writing is what I do to unwind. It allows me to transport myself to a happy place where I can indulge my hopes, beliefs, aspirations and fantasies. It also allows me to live and breathe a topic for eighteen months while I’m researching and writing Picture Quote #1

You have so many layers, that you can peel away a few, and everyone’s so shocked or impressed that you’re baring your soul, while to you it’s nothing, because you know you’ve twenty more layers to go Picture Quote #1

Our spirits have their own private way of understanding each other, of becoming intimate, while our external persons are still trapped in the commerce of ordinary words, in the slavery of social rules. Souls have their own needs and their own ambitions, which the body ignores when it sees that it’s impossible to satisfy them or achieve them Picture Quote #1

This is the woman’s century, the first chance for the mother of the world to rise to her full place... and the world waits while she powders her nose 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

There seemed to be three choices: to give up trying to love anyone, to stop being selfish, or to learn to love a person while continuing to be selfish Picture Quote #1

Effective listening is more than simply avoiding the bad habit of interrupting others while they are speaking or finishing their sentences. It’s being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently for your chance to respond Picture Quote #1

The world is a den of thieves, and night is falling. Evil breaks its chains and runs through the world like a mad dog. The poison affects us all. No one escapes. Therefore let us be happy while we are happy. Let us be kind, generous, affectionate and good. It is necessary and not at all shameful to take pleasure in the little world Picture Quote #1

Meanwhile, life keeps moving forward. The truth is, there’s no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Picture Quote #1

Her nudity is her armor. It blinded the drooling fools. They couldn’t see anything else while they saw her body Picture Quote #1

My mother used to talk about passages and, once in a while, about ordeals. We all have them; we are all shaped by them. She thought the key was to find the healing in the hurt Picture Quote #1

There are spiders living comfortably in my house while the wind howls outside. They aren’t bothering anybody. If I were a fly, I’d have second thoughts, but I’m not, so I don’t Picture Quote #1

Exile is strangely compelling to think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted. And while it is true that literature and history contain heroic, romantic, glorious, even triumphant episodes in an exile’s life, these are no more than efforts meant to overcome the crippling sorrow of estrangement Picture Quote #1
