61 " It happens to everyone," she assured Princess Stephanie." It does?" Stephanie doubted it." Sure. Everyone's someone else sometimes. Everyone transforms. Maybe not in quite the same way as you, but that's sort of the point. The curse - if you will - it happens to everyone, but not to any two people in the same way. And no one likes it, no matter who's waiting inside. "
62 " For in the multitude of middle-aged men who go about their vocations in a daily course determined for them much in the same way as the tie of their cravats, there is always a good number who once meant to shape their own deeds and alter the world a little. The story of their coming to be shapen after the average and fit to be packed by the gross, is hardly ever told even in their consciousness; for perhaps their ardour in generous unpaid toil cooled as imperceptibly as the ardour of other youthful loves, till one day their earlier self walked like a ghost in its old home and made the new furniture ghastly. Nothing in the world more subtle than the process of their gradual change! In the beginning they inhaled it unknowingly: you and I may have sent some of our breath towards infecting them, when we uttered our conforming falsities or drew our silly conclusions: or perhaps it came with the vibrations from a woman's glance. "
― George Eliot , Middlemarch
63 " And how will this come to pass?' He paused and lowered his voice. ' In the same way all change comes to pass, I fear, And I am sorry it is so. It will come to pass by violence and upheaval, by flame and by fury, for no change comes calmly over the world. "
― Walter M. Miller Jr.
64 " It's all mirror, mirror on the wall because beauty is power, the same way money is power, the same way a gun is power. "
― Chuck Palahniuk , Invisible Monsters
65 " But there are people who take salt with their coffee. They say it gives a tang, a savour, which is peculiar and fascinating. In the same way there are certain places, surrounded by a halo of romance, to which the inevitable disillusionment you experience on seeing them gives a singular spice. You had expected something wholly beautiful and you get an impression which is infinitely more complicated than any that beauty can give you. It is the weakness in the character of a great man which may make him less admirable but certainly more interesting. Nothing had prepared me for Honolulu... "
― W. Somerset Maugham
66 " Believe in whatever if you want believe in " Jesus" the guy who probably doesn't exist.- If he is so powerful and magical as in the bible is said why he didn't save us with clapping hands or something like this and ... tadatada here we are saved?? He is alive and everything is alive!- How for god sake the bad people go in heaven??You kill and you go heaven why??You don't have a thing to communicate so you go in heaven to talk about your travel?- If the stuff about " Jesus" are true logically we should have the ability to go out of the body, which will mean that there is soul, which can't be hold by any thing which will go as far as I know (...Please don't say " Oh, oh I don't like that Idea.." <--- it's logical, if you think in the same way you will find that what is it, believe or not... " To go outside of the body and the body to be without a body the soul to be outside..." <--- you said soul exist didn't you??So now you complain, under soul there are a lot stuff to be put concluded which will mean to be put in the logical order. "
67 " If another soul took over your beloved’s body, would you still feel the same way about him or her? "
― Brownell Landrum , Repercussions: DUET stories Volume IV - Adult Version
68 " Age in itself gives substance — what has lasted becomes a thing worth keeping. An older poem's increasing strangeness of language is part of its beauty, in the same way that the cracks and darkening of an old painting become part of its luminosity in the viewer’s mind. "
― Jane Hirshfield , Nine Gates: Entering the Mind of Poetry
69 " I'm the same way about the bookshop. You know, I walk around and I feel the whole world is in there, the most important stories of all time. "
― Caroline Kepnes , You (You, #1)
70 " It gets very hard to predict the future once you have smarter-than-human things around. In the same way that it gets very hard for a chimp to predict what is going to happen because there are smarter-than-chimp things around. That’s what the Singularity is: it’s the point past which you expect you can’t see. "
― Nate Soares
71 " There the old Eskimo hunters she had known in her childhood thought the riches of life were intelligence, fearlessness, and love. A man with these gifts was rich and was a great spirit who was admired in the same way that the gussaks admired a man with money and goods. "
― Jean Craighead George , Julie of the Wolves (Julie of the Wolves, #1)
72 " Right now, in every big city ghetto, tens of thousands of yesterday's and today's school dropouts are keeping body and soul together by some form of hustling in the same way I did. "
― Malcolm X , The Autobiography of Malcolm X
73 " I send this message to humankind to accentuate on the goodness of all living beings WHO form an important part of humanity.--Thank you for thinking of me, dear friend. For being concerned about my personal welfare the same way I feel about yours.Thank you for the smile of friendship you always sent my way, the wind has blown it to my direction.The world may proclaim your greatness, but it is your inner character dear great HUMANKIND that touched my soul for we are partners in making this universe a better place to live in. "
― Princess Maleiha Bajunaid Candao
74 " We can learn to work and speak when we are afraid in the same way we have learned to work and speak when we are tired. "
― Audre Lorde , Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches
75 " It's easy to equate longing with love. It's the same way it was with your mother. You worked to earn her love. You loved and were not appreciated. You learned that love was Work and Wanting and Giving and Longing. This is what you learned love was and you are still trying to find it by that old definition. But that is not what love is. "
― Kate McGahan
76 " So unsirious work... I behave nice because I want people to behave in the same way with me. "
― Deyth Banger
77 " In the same way that the picturesque designers were always careful to include some reminder of our mortality in their gardens -- a ruin, sometimes even a dead tree -- the act of leaving parts of the garden untended, and calling attention to its margins, seems to undermine any pretense to perfect power or wisdom on the part of the gardener. The margins of our gardens can be tropes too, but figures of irony rather than transcendence -- antidotes, in fact, to our hubris. It may be in the margins of our gardens that we can discover fresh ways to bring our aesthetics and our ethics about the land into some meaningful alignment. "
― Michael Pollan , Second Nature: A Gardener's Education
78 " Wildlife is and should be useless in the same way art, music, poetry and even sports are useless. They are useless in the sense that they do nothing more than raise our spirits, make us laugh or cry, frighten, disturb and delight us. They connect us not just to what’s weird, different, other, but to a world where we humans do not matter nearly as much as we like to think.And that should be enough. "
79 " You [demagogues] are like the fishers for eels; in still waters they catch nothing, but if they thoroughly stir up the slime, their fishing is good; in the same way it's only in troublous times that you line your pockets. "
― Aristophanes , The Knights
80 " I guess it's the same way trees grow around the very vines that are killing them, so they're strangled and sustained all at once. After a long time, even pain can be a comfort. "
― Lauren Oliver , Rooms
