A man's character, she reflected with surprise, consists a good deal more of the way people feel and behave towards him than of the way he himself feels and behaves. ~ Celia Fremlin
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Fremlin
Infatuation means, 'A love that it is inconvenient to go on with. ~ Celia Fremlin
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Fremlin
The only really satisfactory confidante for your troubles is someone who enjoys them, and this inevitably cuts out anyone who actually loves you. ~ Celia Fremlin
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Fremlin
Love isn't relevant once things are really bad. They say love makes the world go round-but it doesn't, you know. Love is a luxury, and you indulge in it when things are OK. As soon as they are bad-really bad-there just isn't a place for it anymore-no place where there could be room for it ~ Celia Fremlin
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Fremlin
They give her tractors and things to play with instead of dolls, just to prove that girls are exactly the same as boys.
Mind you, they're a bit illogical, it seems to me, because they have never forced me to play with dolls, which I would have thought would have proved the point just as effectively. ~ Celia Fremlin
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Fremlin
Troubles, even the dullest, are always mildly interesting at the first hearing ... ~ Celia Fremlin
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Fremlin
Neve: 'Have I told you how much I hate you lately?'
Celia: 'All the time and right back at you. ~ Sarra Manning
Celia Fremlin quotes by Sarra Manning
Speaking of shooting, my lady," Mr. Pinter said as he came around the table, "I looked over your pistol as you requested. Everything seems to be in order."
Removing it from his coat pocket, he handed it to her, a hint of humor in his gaze. As several pair of male eyes fixed on her, she colored. To hide her embarrassment, she made a great show of examining her gun. He'd cleaned it thoroughly, which she grudgingly admitted was rather nice of him.
"What a cunning little weapon," the viscount said and reached for it. "May I?"
She handed him the pistol.
"How tiny it is," he exclaimed.
"It's a lady's pocket pistol," she told him as he examined it.
Oliver frowned at her. "When did you acquire a pocket pistol, Celia?"
"A little while ago," she said blithely.
Gabe grinned. "You may not know this, Basto, but my sister is something of a sharpshooter. I daresay she has a bigger collection of guns than Oliver."
"Not bigger," she said. "Finer perhaps, but I'm choosy about my firearms."
"She has beaten us all at some time or another at target shooting," the duke said dryly. "The lady could probably hit a fly at fifty paces."
"Don't be silly," she said with a grin. "A beetle perhaps, but not a fly." The minute the words were out of her mouth, she could have kicked herself. Females did not boast of their shooting-not if they wanted to snag husbands.
"You should come shooting with us," Oliver said. "Why not?"
The last thing she n ~ Sabrina Jeffries
Celia Fremlin quotes by Sabrina Jeffries
Chloe thought madly about tiny FM radios that she could hide in her ear and pull her hair over to hide, about getting very badly drunk or stoned, about getting one of the loopier Wiccans at school to put her into a trance before the reading. Anything that could get her through it with her sanity intact and a straight face. ~ Celia Thomson
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Thomson
If you stand up to the human race you lose something called their 'goodwill'; if you kowtow to them you gain ... their permission to continue kowtowing. ~ Celia Green
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Green
What struck Celia most about young children was the intensity of their passions, life too new to be modulated, perspective a possession not yet acquired. ~ Myla Goldberg
Celia Fremlin quotes by Myla Goldberg
Religious feeling; but in Miss Brooke's case, religion alone would have determined it; and Celia mildly acquiesced in all her sister's sentiments, only infusing them with that common-sense which is able to accept momentous doctrines without any eccentric agitation. Dorothea knew many passages of Pascal's Pensees and of Jeremy Taylor by heart; and to her the destinies of mankind, seen by the light of Christianity, made the solicitudes of feminine fashion appear an occupation for Bedlam. She could not reconcile the anxieties of a spiritual life involving eternal consequences, with a keen interest in gimp and artificial protrusions ~ George Eliot
Celia Fremlin quotes by George Eliot
I think it would be funny to have one of those family decals showing a really skinny teenage girl barfing into a little chalk-outline bag (the bulimic in the family) or the dad figure dressed in the woman's underwear that he truly enjoys slipping into when no one's looking. Or the wife figure smiling with her exaggerated curly hair and tennis skirt, clutching a racket in one hand and a bottle of Stoli' in the other. ~ Celia Rivenbark
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Rivenbark
Celia endeavors to be as helpful as she can, which consists mainly of fetching cups of tea and finding new and creative ways to assure people everything will be fine. ~ Erin Morgenstern
Celia Fremlin quotes by Erin Morgenstern
She was all that I knew, all that was dear. I'd loved her and she'd loved me. Now I was alone in the world. How would I do without her? My thoughts echoed the landlady: What would become of me? ~ Celia Rees
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Rees

Celia Fremlin quotes by Richard Price
I begin to cry as my walls of my resolve break down. I don't know how long I can hold on. The pain is horrid and I curl into myself wrestling with a wish to die and a wish to live. Both have their perks. Only one will release me from this agony. ~ Celia Mcmahon
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Mcmahon
This is exactly what I meant by unfair, Abe. If I woulda brought a guy home and announced, 'He's staying with me in my room,' both you and Hank would've trussed him up and dragged him off Lawson land."

"Not the same thing, Celia."

Her gray eyes narrowed. "Why? Because you both have dicks? Or because you both are dicks? ~ Lorelei James
Celia Fremlin quotes by Lorelei James
She's always getting into trouble because she gets bored really really easily. [ ... ]
My mum says it's because Celia has an attention span the size of a sesame seed.
Celia's mum says it's because Celia's identity is unfurling itself slowly, like a tulip bud, and it's a breathtakingly beautiful thing to see. ~ Jaclyn Moriarty
Celia Fremlin quotes by Jaclyn Moriarty
If there was a way out of this mess, he'd find it. If there wasn't, I would run with him until we got far enough away to start over. ~ Celia Aaron
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Aaron
One of the greatest superstitions of our time is the belief that it has none. ~ Celia Green
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Green
A language you cannot speak yourself is not necessarily a god-awful mess, Celia says, transcribing a line of symbols into her notebook. ~ Erin Morgenstern
Celia Fremlin quotes by Erin Morgenstern
[Reverend James] Dobson says that the [Spongebob Squarepants] video would be watched by millions of elementary school students and includes a reference to being 'tolerant of differences.' The nerve! Who does Spongebob think he is? Jesus Christ? Tolerance will not be, uh, tolerated. Oh, and tolerance is quite possibly closesly connected to gay-ance. ~ Celia Rivenbark
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Rivenbark
I love living on that stage. Without that, I'd die. ~ Celia Cruz
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Cruz
Is something going on?" - Celia
"No!" Aaron and Jasper said at the same time.
"Sure, that's not suspicious or anything. ~ Holly Black
Celia Fremlin quotes by Holly Black
Just as I had done, my father sleeps off and on for days. Sometimes I sit by the bed in Marta's house and stare at him until I feel like it isn't a dream anymore. Sometimes Jimmi joins me and sometimes, when I'm alone I weep and I am not sure why. Maybe it's because of everything I had been through to get to this point or maybe it was for everything I had lost. Part of me thinks that I should be glad for all of the things I had gained.
But the hero doesn't get the reward. The hero pays the price. As it is in every story. ~ Celia Mcmahon
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Mcmahon
I'm a bit of a fraud, really, as I didn't study acting at a drama school. ~ Celia Imrie
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Imrie
Flying daggers don't kill people, Chloe thought, leaping sidewise at the last minute to avoid one, grabbing the pedestrian rail. People kill people. ~ Celia Thomson
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Thomson
If it was cancer he was dying of, there'd be telethons."

"People don't understand AIDS," I said.

"They understand it just fine," Celia said. "They just think that he deserves it because of how he got it. ~ Taylor Jenkins Reid
Celia Fremlin quotes by Taylor Jenkins Reid
That society exists to frustrate the individual may be seen from its attitude to work. It is only morally acceptable if you do not want to do it. If you do want to, it becomes a personal pleasure. ~ Celia Green
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Green
How are you managing to keep everyone from aging?" Celia asks after a while.
"Very carefully," Marco answers. ~ Erin Morgenstern
Celia Fremlin quotes by Erin Morgenstern
I had to start watching [The Real Housewives of New Jersey] every week because, well, my IQ was just too high. I mean seriously up there. What can I tell you? After watching every episode, I am now officially as dumb as that brown, particle-like stuff you find outside and don't want to track inside the house. Rhymes with "wirt", I think. ~ Celia Rivenbark
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Rivenbark
Foreign, eh?" Hetty frowned. "Then I am glad Mr. Pinter is looking into his background. You have to be careful with foreigners."
"Right. I wouldn't want to rush into marriage with a stranger," Celia said tartly. "Oh, wait, yes, I would. My grandmother has dictated that I must."
Hetty stifled a smile. "Sarcasm does not become you, dear girl."
"Draconian ultimatums don't become you, Gran."
"Complain if you must, but I still mean to see you married by year's end. ~ Sabrina Jeffries
Celia Fremlin quotes by Sabrina Jeffries
Do you remember all of your audiences?" Marco asks.
"Not all of them," Celia says. "But I remember the people who look at me the way you do."
"What way might that be?"
"As though they cannot decide if they are afraid of me or they want to kiss me."
" I am not afraid of you," Marco says. ~ Erin Morgenstern
Celia Fremlin quotes by Erin Morgenstern
us. The little shit really digs Celia here. Been seein' her ~ Kirk Alex
Celia Fremlin quotes by Kirk Alex
Don't remember me as too nice or beautiful or funny, because then you'll be disappointed. ~ Celia Johnson
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Johnson
I landed the role of Bravo 5, the only female fighter pilot in 'Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.' I did my bit and fired my guns, but I haven't a notion of which side I was on or who I was firing the guns at. ~ Celia Imrie
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Imrie
Scientists say that ... gender bending may keep fish from reproducing because, with so many in sexual limbo, there's just no real push to procreate.
Oh, if only deer, squirrels, and Kardashians would acquire this particular affliction. I'm just kidding. I don't really have anything against deer. Or squirrels. ~ Celia Rivenbark
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Rivenbark
I don't want just bits and pieces of you that I can steal away. I told you - you're worth more than being someone's secret."
"Yeah, well, it's not really a secret anymore," she declared.
"I know it isn't."
She groaned. "Then what, Corrado? What do you want?"
His strong hands cupped both of her cheeks as he leaned down toward her. He stared into her eyes, drinking in the devotion she - for some godforsaken reason - felt toward him. "I'm a greedy man, Celia. I want everything. ~ J.M. Darhower
Celia Fremlin quotes by J.M. Darhower
Why clone cats when there's perfectly good Russell Crowe lying around? ~ Celia Rivenbark
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Rivenbark
don't fear tomorrow, 'til today's done with you. ~ Celia Rees
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Rees
Celia and I are hoping for a new start in a our thus far tortuous path to Nirvana ~ Jaime Olmos
Celia Fremlin quotes by Jaime Olmos
While other girls swooned over The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, I worshipped Rudolf Nureyev and Isadora Duncan. ~ Celia Imrie
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Imrie
Because God knows, if He ever took Celia from me, I'd burn the world down around us all ~ J.M. Darhower
Celia Fremlin quotes by J.M. Darhower
Abel grabs my shoulders to steady me. "You can do this," he say. "I won't lie. Part of me was hoping you would abandon this but we've come this far. You're special, cousin. You're going to do great things. Just promise me that you won't love it someplace else and leave me here alone. ~ Celia Mcmahon
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Mcmahon
My path to a life of meaning may not have been straight or easy, but I am fortunate to have found my personal stepping stones, laid out before me like a masterpiece. There is not one stone, not one memory or one experience that I would have changed. I am grateful for the good and the bad, for I am the sum of all my experiences. ~ Celia Belt
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Belt
How are you going to keep the lions from attacking people?"
"Big fences? Signs that say, Don't Jog at Night by Yourself, Dumbass?"
"You really don't feel anything for the guy who was almost killed?" Brian asked quietly.
"Of course I do," Chloe sighed. "The poor shuck wasn't really doing anything wrong-- aside from buying a new condo recently built up against parkland, which merits some kind of punishment. But is hunting down and killing the cat the right answer?"
"The problem is that it's no longer afraid of humans, and now it has a taste of their blood. ~ Celia Thomson
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Thomson
Artists often collect. Sometimes compulsively. They hang on to things. They don't want to let go. Like paintings. I don't want to part with them. Some I won't sell at any price. I don't even let people see 'em. - We don't like change, and we're possesive. Maybe that's why we do it. We want to hang on to things, hang on to the one time. We don't want to let it go; we want to capture it and keep it forever. Or one person. How she was then. At that moment. That's what I want - to stop time, to have that power. ~ Celia Rees
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Rees
Humans, with the arrogance of a supposedly superior species (tell that to your cat!), expect domestic animals to fit into their lifestyle. They bring cats into their homes and expect them to follow a human timetable and human rules. ~ Celia Haddon
Celia Fremlin quotes by Celia Haddon
