rare QUOTES

1 " We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has only happened once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it. "

― Nicholas Sparks , The Notebook (The Notebook, #1)

2 " I will find you," he whispered in my ear. " I promise. If I must endure two hundred years of purgatory, two hundred years without you - then that is my punishment, which I have earned for my crimes. For I have lied, and killed, and stolen; betrayed and broken trust. But there is the one thing that shall lie in the balance. When I shall stand before God, I shall have one thing to say, to weigh against the rest." His voice dropped, nearly to a whisper, and his arms tightened around me.Lord, ye gave me a rare woman, and God! I loved her well. "

3 " Poets often describe love as an emotion that we can't control, one that overwhelms logic and common sense. That's what it was like for me. I didn't plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if oyu planned on fallin gin love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has happened only once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it. "

― Nicholas Sparks , The Notebook (The Notebook, #1)

4 " Nobody sees anybody truly but all through the flaws of their own egos. That is the way we all see ...each other in life. Vanity, fear, desire, competition-- all such distortions within our own egos-- condition our vision of those in relation to us. Add to those distortions to our own egos the corresponding distortions in the egos of others, and you see how cloudy the glass must become through which we look at each other. That's how it is in all living relationships except when there is that rare case of two people who love intensely enough to burn through all those layers of opacity and see each other's naked hearts. "

― Tennessee Williams

5 " No, it's not that. It's not what you're thinking. I was serious when I said 'all of it'. I can remember every moment we were together, and in eachof them there was something wonderful. I can't really pick any one time that meant more than any other. The entire summer was perfect, the kind of summer everyone should have. How could I pick one moment over another? Poets often describe love as an emotion that we can't control, one that overwhelms logic and common sense. That's what it was like for me. I didn't plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if you planned on falling in love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created.

6 " Love.Not the kind you see in the movies or hear about on the radio.The real kind.The kind that gets beaten down and bloody, yet perseveres.The kind that hopes even when hope seems foolish.The kind that can forgives. The kind that believes in healing. The kind that can sit in silence and feel renewed.The real kind of love.It's rare and we have it.. "

7 " Not that she didn't love almost every boy she'd ever met, and not that every boy in the world didn't totally love her. It was impossible not to. But she wanted someone to love her and shower her with attention the way only a boy who was completely in love with her could. The rare sort of love. True love. The kind of love she'd never had. "

― Cecily von Ziegesar , I Like It Like That (Gossip Girl, #5)

8 " You know what the secret is? It's so simple. We love one another. We're nice to one another. Do you know how rare that is? - Carmen "

― , The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Sisterhood, #1)

9 " Dante laughed. " No cold soup, no goat cheese. I'll make a mental note. And no Gottfried Curse." " And for you it's no food at all. No sleep. And no tunnels." " I'm low maintenance." " Is that what you are? Because I've been trying to figure it out all semester." " And what have you concluded?" " A mutant. A rare disease. A creature from the inferno. Dante." " And what if you found out you were right?" he asked. " What if it meant that I could hurt you?" " I would say that I'm not scared. Everyone has the ability to hurt. It's the choice that matters. "

10 " One of the best ways to influence people is to make them feel important. Most people enjoy those rare moments when others make them feel important. It is one of the deepest human desires. "

― , The Light in the Heart

11 " I have stitched life into me like a rare organ "

12 " In the end things must be as they are and have always been--the great things remain for the great, the abysses for the profound, the delicacies and thrills for the refined, and, to sum up shortly, everything rare for the rare. "

― Friedrich Nietzsche , Beyond Good and Evil

13 " Amy, Dan, and Nellie were sitting at a table in a conference room, examining reproductions of Franklin documents-some so rare, the librarians told her, the only copies existed in Paris. " Yeah, here's a rare grocery list," Dan muttered. " Wow. "

14 " Madness is something rare in individuals — but in groups, parties, peoples, and ages, it is the rule. "

― Friedrich Nietzsche , Beyond Good and Evil

15 " A philosopher knows that in reality he knows very little. That is why he constantly strives to achieve true insight. Socrates was one of these rare people. He knew that he knew nothing about life and about the world. And now comes the important part: it troubled him that he knew so little. "

― Jostein Gaarder , Sophie's World

16 " Yet I'm sure there's something more to be read in a man. People dare not -- they dare not turn the page. The laws of mimicry -- I call them the laws of fear. People are afraid to find themselves alone, and don't find themselves at all. I hate this moral agoraphobia -- it's the worst kind of cowardice. You can't create something without being alone. But who's trying to create here? What seems different in yourself: that's the one rare thing you possess, the one thing which gives each of us his worth; and that's just what we try to suppress. We imitate. And we claim to love life. "

― André Gide , The Immoralist

17 " I felt lonely and content at the same time. I believe that is a rare kind of happiness. "

― Stephen King , Bag of Bones

18 " If I'd written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people - including me - would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism. "

― Hunter S. Thompson , Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72

19 " Truth and integrity must be so rare these days that it confuses people when they hear it. "

― Donna Lynn Hope

20 " It is rare for people to be asked the question which puts them squarely in front of themselves "

― Arthur Miller , The Crucible
