Text Quotes
I had concocted the gunpowder myself from niter, sulfur, charcoal, and a happy heart. When working with explosives, I've found that attitude is everything (Xp Quotes)
I had found by experience that putting things down on paper helped to clear the mind in precisely the same way, as Mrs. Mullet had taught me, that an eggshell clarifies the consommé or the coffee, which, of course, is a simple matter of chemistry. The albumin contained in the eggshell has the property of collecting and binding the rubbish that floats in the dark liquid, which can then be removed and discarded in a single reeking clot: a perfect description of the writing process (Xp Quotes)
The ideal American type is perfectly expressed by the Protestant, individualist, anti-conformist, and this is the type that is in the process of disappearing. In reality there are few left (Xp Quotes)
Lord, how excellent are Thy ways, and how devious and dark are the ways of man. Show us how to die, that we may rise again to newness of life. Rend the veil of our self-life from the top down as Thou didst rend the veil of the Temple. We would draw near in full assurance of faith. We would dwell with Thee in daily experience here on this earth so that we may be accustomed to the glory when we enter Thy heaven to dwell with Thee there. In Jesus' name, Amen (Xp Quotes)
Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only what you are expecting to give - which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and cannot help giving (Xp Quotes)
I would much rather explain to the police why an intruder in my home has a hole in the chest, than to have them explain to my loved ones why I was raped and murdered! (Xp Quotes)
I hate to admit it, but governmental deviousness is usually better explained by incompetence, vanity, and the need to protect one's job at all costs (Xp Quotes)
He was one of those people whose ideas are too lively to be confined in their brains and spill out into the world to the consternation of passers-by. He talked to himself and the expression on his face changed constantly. Within the space of a single moment he looked surprized, insulted, resolute, and angry - emotions which were presumably the consequences of the energetic conversation he was holding with the ideal people inside his head (Xp Quotes)
He was so clean and healthy and pleased about everything that he positively shone - which is only to be expected in a fairy or an angel, but is somewhat disconcerting in an attorney (Xp Quotes)
Well, each interpretation of an event, setting or character is unique to each of those who read it because they clothe the author's description with the memory of their own experiences. Every character they read is actually a complex amalgam of people they've met, read or seen before - far more real than it can ever be just from the text on the page. Because every reader's experiences are different, each book is unique for each reader (Xp Quotes)
My food dish is not full. My water is missing a sip. My litter box has two clumps in it. You come here expecting to sit down? Think again (Xp Quotes)
…any cat he spoke to would stay quite still with an expression of faint surprise on its face as if it had never heard such good sense in all its life nor ever expected to again (Xp Quotes)
You listen not for the purpose of judging, criticizing or analyzing. You listen only to help the other person to express himself and find some relief from his suffering (Xp Quotes)
It is easy to see the flaws of others, hard to see one's own. One exposes flaws of others, yet hides one's own flaws (Xp Quotes)
Faith, hope, love, and insight are the highest achievements of human effort. They are found given by experience (Xp Quotes)
One of the main functions of organized religion is to protect people against a direct experience of God (Xp Quotes)
A true symbol appears only when there is a need to express what thought cannot think or what is only divined or felt (Xp Quotes)
We can't expect our gay friends to always be single, celibate, and arriving early with the nacho fixin's. And we really need to let these people get married, already (Xp Quotes)
If you're going to expend energy being mad about Photoshop, you'll also have to be mad about earrings. No one's ears are that sparkly! (Xp Quotes)
In my limited experience, shows are like children. You can teach them manners and dress them in little sailor suits, but in the end, they're going to be who they're going to be (Xp Quotes)
You are not in a movie, you are a real person — don't expect other people to treat you like you're always the star (Xp Quotes)
I am hurt... in ways you cannot see, and that I cannot explain, even to myself, but only know that they are there, and a part of me, as much as my hands and eyes and breath are a part of me (Xp Quotes)
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires (Xp Quotes)
It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed (Xp Quotes)
Of children as of procreation - the pleasure momentary, the posture ridiculous, the expense damnable (Xp Quotes)
I expect you'll be becoming a schoolmaster, sir. That's what most of the gentlemen does, sir, that gets sent down for indecent behaviour (Xp Quotes)
Expect nothing and you don't need the courage to hope, nor the strength to withstand disappointment when nothing comes (Xp Quotes)
Orion is above the horizon now, and near it Jupiter, brighter than it will ever be... But I expect you can see it too. Some of our stars are the same (Xp Quotes)
When your goal is to gain experience, perspective, and knowledge, failure is no longer a possibility (Xp Quotes)
The energy you'll expend focusing on someone else's life is better spent working on your own. Just be your own idol (Xp Quotes)
