Xp Quotes

I know how fiction matters to me, because if I want to express myself, I have to make up a story. Some people call it imagination. To me, it's not imagination. It's just a way of watching Picture Quote #1

I'm not expecting you to make me your priority, I was just hoping you'd be there when I needed you around me Picture Quote #1

Give a girl an education and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without further expense to anybody Picture Quote #1

Masterpieces are not single and solitary births; they are the outcome of many years of thinking in common, of thinking by the body of the people, so that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice Picture Quote #1

The act of writing. Is the act of trying to understand why my opinion is what it is. And ultimately, I think that's the same experience the reader has when they pick up one of my books Picture Quote #1

If you have embraced a creed which appears to be free from the ordinary dirtiness of politics - a creed from which you yourself cannot expect to draw any material advantage - surely that proves that you are in the right? Picture Quote #1

Even as one heat another heat expels, or as one nail by strength drives out another, so the remembrance of my former love is by a newer object quite forgotten Picture Quote #1

The most important training, though, is to experience life as a writer, questioning everything, inventing multiple explanations for everything. If you do that, all the other things will come; if you don't, there's no hope for you Picture Quote #1

We are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into imagination and will. Incredible. The Life Force experimenting with forms. You for one. Me for another. The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts Picture Quote #1

Oft expectation fails, and most oft where most it promises; and oft it hits where hope is coldest; and despair most sits Picture Quote #1

Men go into marriage with virtually no expectations whatsoever. Ten years later, the men are delightfully surprised to find out that it's actually kind of nice, and the women have sort of had to take a nose dive from what they thought it was going to be Picture Quote #1

For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise Picture Quote #1

The Creator has not thought proper to mark those in the forehead who are of stuff to make good generals. We are first, therefore, to seek them blindfold, and then let them learn the trade at the expense of great losses Picture Quote #1

I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours Picture Quote #1

The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live Picture Quote #1

Opportunity is often difficult to recognize; we usually expect it to beckon us with beepers and billboards Picture Quote #1

Experience has taught me this, that we undo ourselves by impatience. Misfortunes have their life and their limits, their sickness and their health Picture Quote #1

Nobody can have the consolations of religion or philosophy unless he has first experienced their desolations Picture Quote #1

Every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind is written large in his works Picture Quote #1

I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past Picture Quote #1

If you take a look at history, you will find that the understanding of what is good and evil has always existed before the individual religions. The religions were only invented by people afterwards, in order to express this idea Picture Quote #1

Oft expectation fails and most oft there Where most it promises, and oft it hits Where hope is coldest and despair most fits Picture Quote #1

Here at this site, Solyndra expects to make enough solar panels each year to generate 500 megawatts of electricity. And over the lifetime of this expanded facility, that could be like replacing as many as eight coal fired power plants Picture Quote #1

I think there are a whole host of things that are civil rights, and then there are other things - such as traditional marriage - that, I think, express a community's concern and regard for a particular institution Picture Quote #1

In fact, the best thing we could do on taxes for all Americans is to simplify the individual tax code. This will be a tough job, but members of both parties have expressed an interest in doing this, and I am prepared to join them Picture Quote #1

It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations Picture Quote #1

We can choose a future where we export more products and outsource fewer jobs. After a decade that was defined by what we bought and borrowed, we're getting back to basics, and doing what America has always done best: We're making things again Picture Quote #1

We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times. And then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That's not leadership. That's not going to happen Picture Quote #1

I am giddy, expectation whirls me round. The imaginary relish is so sweet that it enchants my sense Picture Quote #1

Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every airborne particle in its tissue Picture Quote #1
