That's exactly what I'll do, I thought to myself. After dinner, I'm going to ask Big
Brother to teach me how to read this map. With Aunt Baba still in Tianjin, there's
obviously nobody looking out for me. I'll just have to find my own way. ~ Adeline Yen Mah
Aunt Baba quotes by Adeline Yen Mah
A story is like a life cycle, Violet. You will be released only when the story concludes. Birth to death. - Baba ~ Anna Day
Aunt Baba quotes by Anna Day
She danced the dance so well, so well indeed, so perfectly, that Anisya Fyodorovna, who handed her at once the kerchief she needed in the dance, had tears in her eyes, though she laughed as she watched that slender and graceful little countess, reared in silk and velvet, belonging to another world than hers, who was yet able to understand all that was in Anisya and her father and her mother and her aunt and every Russian soul. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Aunt Baba quotes by Leo Tolstoy
You'd think that would have been forgotten long ago. But no, no sooner has a little grass grown over it than some clumsy camel comes along and rakes it all up again."
Caroline giggled. She was probably imagining Aunt Glenda as a camel.
"This is not a TV series, Maddy," said Lady Arista sharply.
"Thank goodness, no, it isn't," said Great-aunt Maddy. "If it were, I'd have lost track of the plot ages ago. ~ Kerstin Gier
Aunt Baba quotes by Kerstin Gier
to the Piazzale Loreto and machine-gunned them to death. I saw . . ." He broke down. "Tullio was one of them." Uncle Albert and his father looked gut-shot. Aunt Greta said, "That's not true! You must have seen someone else." Pino, crying, said, "It was him. Tullio was so brave. Yelling at the men who were about to shoot him, calling them cowards . . . and . . . oh God, it was . . . horrible." He went to his father and hugged him while Uncle Albert held Aunt Greta, who had turned hysterical. "I hate them," she said. "My own people and I hate them." When she'd calmed down, Uncle Albert said, "I have to go tell his mother." "She ~ Mark T. Sullivan
Aunt Baba quotes by Mark T. Sullivan
I was very grateful to have heard it again. Because I guess we all forget sometimes. And I think everyone is special in their own way. I really do. ~ Stephen Chbosky
Aunt Baba quotes by Stephen Chbosky
Growing up, I wanted to be a sports commentator. Then my aunt introduced me to the fashion industry, and everything sort of fell into place. ~ Olivia Palermo
Aunt Baba quotes by Olivia Palermo
But then the Nazis arrested Uncle Richard and Aunt Roszi too. They spent six weeks in prison. To get out, they gave the Nazis everything they possessed: real estate, bank accounts, bonds, dishes, silver. Then they left immediately, heading east. Russia swallowed them. My mother waited and prayed for word of them, but none came. ~ Edith Hahn Beer
Aunt Baba quotes by Edith Hahn Beer
Aunt Caroline opened the door, wiping her hands on her G.R.I.T.S. apron. Girls Raised in the South. ~ Kami Garcia
Aunt Baba quotes by Kami Garcia
You're pleased?" Rosalie, watching her face closely, sat back and smiled. "Or should I say, thrilled? Good! And not completely surprised, I daresay." "Not . . . completely." I just didn't believe it. I chose not to believe it, because . . . because it would have ruined everything. . . . "We were afraid you might find it early days, after Tien and all. But the Baba said he meant to steal a march on all his rivals, your da told Hugo. ~ Lois McMaster Bujold
Aunt Baba quotes by Lois McMaster Bujold
Evil habits, in which men indulge, are the chief cause of disease in the physical as well as the mental state. ~ Sathya Sai Baba
Aunt Baba quotes by Sathya Sai Baba
My aunt could not have been the lone romantic who gave up everything for sex. Women in the old China did not choose. Some man had commanded her to lie with him and be his secret evil. ~ Maxine Hong Kingston
Aunt Baba quotes by Maxine Hong Kingston
There were angry clouds building up behind the moutains, black-gray clouds, great clumps of them colored just like cotton balls after Aunt Ruth cleaned off her eye makeup from a big night out, all gunky with mascara and eye shadow. (p 378) ~ Emily M. Danforth
Aunt Baba quotes by Emily M. Danforth
Always wise aunts come in many guises. There are maiden aunts, dowager aunts, and that delightful creature, the eccentric aunt. I fear I fall into the latter category. ~ Sara Sheridan
Aunt Baba quotes by Sara Sheridan
Aunt-Sister said Charleston had a case of the grandeurs. Up till I was eight or so, I thought the grandeurs was a shitting sickness. ~ Sue Monk Kidd
Aunt Baba quotes by Sue Monk Kidd
Then she broke down and cried onto the flowery wrapping paper. Melanie put her arms around the poor, thin body. What is Aunt Margaret made of? Birdbones and tissue paper. spun glass and straw. ~ Angela Carter
Aunt Baba quotes by Angela Carter
How did you do it?" I brought the teacup to my mouth for another sip. "How did you guide Sophie's soul? I thought you were a reaper."
"He's both," Nash said from behind me, and I turned just as he followed my father through the front door, pulling his long sleeves down one at a time. He and my dad had just loaded Aunt Val's white silk couch into the back of my uncle's truck, so he wouldn't have to deal with the bloodstains when he and Sohie got back from the hospital. "Tod is very talented."
Tod brushed the curl back from his face and scowled.
Harmony spoke up from the kitchen as the oven door squealed open. "Both my boys are talented."
"Both?" I repeated, sure I'd heard her wrong.
Nash sighed and slid onto the chair his mother had vacated, then gestured toward the reaper with one hand. "Kaylee, meet my brother, Tod. ~ Rachel Vincent
Aunt Baba quotes by Rachel Vincent
Maybe I should have got some chili-slaw dogs from Shorty's. Everybody loves those."
"Buddy," Lars said, dropping his shoes to the deck with a thump, "sit yourself down and stop fussing. You're reminding me of my Aunt Glynna with all this temperature takin' and foil tuckin'. This food is fine. ~ Mary Jane Hathaway
Aunt Baba quotes by Mary Jane Hathaway
This, as it happened, had fallen to his sister's share instead, and Lucilla stood opposite to her looking at her, attentive and polite, and unresponsive. If Harry had only not been such a fool ten years ago! for Mrs Woodburn began to think now with Aunt Jemima, that Lucilla did not marry because she was too comfortable, and, without any of the bother, could have everything her own way. ~ Mrs. Oliphant
Aunt Baba quotes by Mrs. Oliphant
Braith opened her eyes and screamed at what hovered above her, "Gods! Death comes for me!"
The horrifying face of death curled its lip at her and growled, "Well, that's charmin'." Death sat back in its chair, hands resting on its knees. "This face is not me fault, ya know?" Death looked off, thought a moment. Its finger traced one of the deep gouges across its jaw. "This one actually is kind of me fault." She pointed at the other side of her face, where part of her chin was missing. "And this one. A bit of barney at the pub."
...
"That was not death," he whispered. "That was our Great-Aunt Brigida."
"Brigida? Brigida the Foul?" He nodded. "I thought she was dead."
Addolgar shook his head and whispered, "She just won't die. ~ G.A. Aiken
Aunt Baba quotes by G.A. Aiken
He was the one who'd come back to life not fifteen minutes ago. Whenever he got sick at home, Aunt Elizabeth and Tabitha made a tremendous fuss with hot water bottles and tinctures and sweets and kisses. It only stood to reason that they should all make an extra-tremendous fuss now. After all, when you rose from the grave in England, people tended to make whole religions out of you. ~ Catherynne M. Valente
Aunt Baba quotes by Catherynne M. Valente
Aunt Fostalina says when she first came to America she went to school during the day and worked nights at Eliot's hotels, cleaning hotel rooms together with people from countries like Senegal, Cameroon, Tibet, the Philippines, Ethiopia, and so on. It was like the damn United Nations there, she likes to say. ~ NoViolet Bulawayo
Aunt Baba quotes by NoViolet Bulawayo
People abuse their own friends and family, but it is only after performing many meritorious acts that one gets a human birth. ~ Sathya Sai Baba
Aunt Baba quotes by Sathya Sai Baba
I felt like I was an outsider. I think what happened to me made me develop this street sense of watching people and working out what made them tick, wondering whether I could trust them or not. I went to a lot of schools along the coast in California, made few friends and stayed with aunts, uncles and grandparents while my folks tried to make ends meet. It was tough. We had no money. ~ Tobey Maguire
Aunt Baba quotes by Tobey Maguire
Everything was so beautiful in this magical moment before sunrise. The wild blue irises around the pond, the violet shadows in the curves of the dunes, the white, filmy mist hanging over the buttercup valley across the pond, the cloth of gold and silver thtat was called a field of daisies, thye cool, delicious gulf breeze, the blue of far lands beyond the harbour, plumes of purple and mauve smoke going up on the still, golden air from the chimneys of Stovepipe Town where the fishermen rose early. And Teddy lying at her feet, his slim brown hands clasped behind his head. Again she felt thye magnetic attraction of his personality. Felt it so strongly that she dared not meet his eyes. Yet she was admitting to herself with a secret cadour which would have horrified Aunt Elizabeth that she wanted to run her fingers through his sleek black hair- feel his arms about her- press her face against his dark tender ne- feel his lips on her lips-
Teddy took one of his hands from under his head and put it over hers. ~ L.M. Montgomery
Aunt Baba quotes by L.M. Montgomery
My Aunt Minnie would always be punctual and never hold up production, but who would pay to see my Aunt Minnie? ~ Billy Wilder
Aunt Baba quotes by Billy Wilder
I remember, when I went away to college at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, my aunt sent me a book with the rules of being a Southern Belle. One of the rules was to never wear white after Labor Day. Fashion has a lot to do with confidence and making up your own rules. ~ Kourtney Kardashian
Aunt Baba quotes by Kourtney Kardashian
Forgiveness is Truth itself. It is Righteousness, it is the Veda. It is the supreme virtue in this world ... ~ Sathya Sai Baba
Aunt Baba quotes by Sathya Sai Baba
Her eyes were distant, and she seemed to be listening to that voice that first told her the story, a mother, sister, or aunt. Then her voice, like her singing, cut through the crickets and crackling fire. ~ Shannon Hale
Aunt Baba quotes by Shannon Hale
When I learned of Aunt Dimity's death, I was stunned. Not because she was dead, but because I had never known she'd been alive. ~ Nancy Atherton
Aunt Baba quotes by Nancy Atherton
The Lachrymose Leeches,' Aunt Josephine said, 'are quite different from regular leeches. They each have six rows of very sharp teeth ad one very sharp nose - they can smell even the smallest bit of food from far far away. The Lachrymose Leeches are usually quite harmless, preying only on small fish. But if they smell food on a human they will swarm around him ~ Lemony Snicket
Aunt Baba quotes by Lemony Snicket
Man seeks to change the foods available in nature to suit his tastes, thereby putting an end to the very essence of life contained in them. ~ Sai Baba
Aunt Baba quotes by Sai Baba
As a rule, you see, I'm not lugged into Family Rows. On the occasions when Aunt is calling Aunt like mastodons bellowing across premieval swamps and Uncle James's letter about Cousin Mabel's peculiar behaviour is being shot round the family circle ('Please read this carefully and send it on Jane') the clan has a tendency to ignore me. It's one of the advantages I get from being a bachelor - and, according to my nearest and dearest, practically a half-witted bachelor at that. ~ P.G. Wodehouse
Aunt Baba quotes by P.G. Wodehouse
Human society needs essntially fellow-feeling and unity. When these two are present, humanness will flourish. ~ Sathya Sai Baba
Aunt Baba quotes by Sathya Sai Baba
But there's this thing in her voice, like what my mom called "doublespeak." Saying one thing and meaning another. Aunt Nora told me it was leftover from English rule. She said, "That's the only good thing to ever come of colonialism, Kevin. The Irish can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you look forward to the trip. ~ Brian Malloy
Aunt Baba quotes by Brian Malloy
I think I'm a fan of people who were brave, my aunt, my grandmother, those are my heroes. ~ George Eads
Aunt Baba quotes by George Eads
A True Wise Man Surrenders Every Thing Freely To God While Alive.
A Foolish Man Surrenders Every Thing Forcefully At The Time Of Death. ~ Baba Tunde Ojo-Olubiyo
Aunt Baba quotes by Baba Tunde Ojo-Olubiyo
Aunt Alexandra was fanatical on the subject of my attire. I could not possibly hope to be a lady if I wore breeches, when I said I could do nothing in a dress, she said I wasn't supposed to do things that required pants. Aunt Alexandra's vision of my deportment involved playing with small stoves, tea sets, and wearing the Add-A-Pearl necklace she gave me when I was born; furthermore, I should be a ray of sunshine in my father's life. I suggested that one could be a ray of sunshine in pants as well, but Aunty said that one had to behave like a sunbeam, that I was born good but had grown progressively worse every year. ~ Harper Lee
Aunt Baba quotes by Harper Lee
I insist on group singing of the names of the Lord. ~ Sathya Sai Baba
Aunt Baba quotes by Sathya Sai Baba
seemed to her that such a one abdicated all claim to enjoy the fruits of those friendly relations with people of good position which prudent parents cultivate and store up for their children's benefit, for my great-aunt had actually ceased to 'see' the son of a lawyer we had known because he had married a 'Highness' and had thereby stepped down - in her eyes - from the respectable position of a lawyer's son to that of those adventurers, upstart footmen or stable-boys mostly, to whom we read that queens have sometimes shewn their favours. ~ Marcel Proust
Aunt Baba quotes by Marcel Proust
I'd rather be the cool aunt than the authoritative aunt. ~ Solange Knowles
Aunt Baba quotes by Solange Knowles
