way- QUOTES

1 " Their fingers seemed to fit together in just the right way- effortlessly clasped,like perfect complements. "

2 " Regin the Radiant and Emmaline Troy: 'Alrighty then, have it your way- you're on your own... Now, if you come across a leech, no offense, remember your training.'

'None taken. And would that be the sword training where you fly past my defenses and swat me on the ass, chirping, 'Dead!'? Another swat. 'Dead!'? Yeah, I'll get right on that.'

'No, that would be the training where you sprint like hell whenever you hear that I'm looking for you to train. "

3 " When I throw back my head and howl
People (women mostly) say
But you've always done what you want,
You always get your way
- A perfectly vile and foul
Inversion of all that's been.
What the old ratbags mean
Is I've never done what I don't.

So the shit in the shuttered chateau
Who does his five hundred words
Then parts out the rest of the day
Between bathing and booze and birds
Is far off as ever, but so
Is that spectacled schoolteaching sod
(Six kids, and the wife in pod,
And her parents coming to stay)...

Life is an immobile, locked,
Three-handed struggle between
Your wants, the world's for you, and (worse)
The unbeatable slow machine
That brings what you'll get. Blocked,
They strain round a hollow stasis
Of havings-to, fear, faces.
Days sift down it constantly. Years.

--The Life with the Hole in It "

― Philip Larkin , Philip Larkin Poetry (Poet to Poet: An Essential Choice of Classic Verse)

4 " A wise man once told me- he’s a muslim by the way- that he has more in common with a jew than he does a fanatic of his own religion. He has more in common with a rational, reasonable-minded Christian or a Buddhist or Hindu than he does with a fanatic of his own religion. In fact, he has more in common with a ration, reasonable-minded atheist than he does with a fanatic of his own religion "

― Gregory David Roberts , Shantaram

5 " The fact about contemporaries is that they're doing the same thing on another railway line: one resents their distracting one, flashing past, the wrong way- something like that: from timidity, partly, one keeps one's eyes on one's own road. "

― Virginia Woolf , The Letters of Virginia Woolf: Volume Four, 1929-1931

6 " I did something the other day that not many have been taught.
I prayed for those who hurt me, to eventually find there way- not because they deserve it but because i deserve the growth. "

― Nikki Rowe

7 " They came and they went; they ached and pained. They laughed privately and cried to themselves as if heeding a way- off silent call. They were forever childish, sweet and convulsive. They heard sound the way dog heard sound. They were like the moon- they changed every eight days. "

8 " U r looking at me in a particular way- & I am not that. I am something else. What am I- I don't know. "

― Rabisha

9 " I was going to say he's aimless," the witch replied. " I know he's a bit old to be old to living at home with his mom, but he's had a difficult time holding a job. He's worked at Wendy's, Taco Bell, and Burger King, but it all ends the same way- he challenges his manager to combat, takes over the restaurant, and enslaves his coworkers. Then it's back to video games." - Morgan le Fay "

10 " There are times I have Doubted. Times I have lost my way- without my anchor I would probably be lost still. Yet I know there is a purpose in all of this-even if after almost a millennium, I still do not know exactly how God works. But I do know that you need to work out this anger, find your anchor, and- unlike the unmerciful servant in the story- learn to forgive in order to be forgiven. Even if God is the one you need to forgive. Even if it is yourself "

― Bree Despain , The Savage Grace (The Dark Divine, #3)

11 " Martha told me, " I don't know how you're going to talk about romance in your book, but you're going to have to because its truly part of all our lives down there-and in a big way- because its an incredibly sensuous environment. Think of how many times you've fallen in love down there, and how many times people have fallen in love with you. Its a place where we shine. We're the happiest in our lives. We're vibrant. We're just so full of life, and not only does that put you in the mood for love, it sets you up for it. People are really drawn to people who are shining, who feel so happy where they are and who they are and what they're doing and who they're doing it with. "

12 " The thanks of a weak one are but of little value," he muttered, " but you have them, for truly, in this past week, little but scraps have come my way- and for all my body is small, yet is my appetite unseemly great. "
