You don't get the good shots sitting on your ass in the bad weather- Mark Johnson ~ Alan Place
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Alan Place
It tastes of the most bitter poison . . I've never tasted something so disgusting." - Mark Blackthorn ~ Cassandra Clare
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Cassandra Clare
It has been many years since I have eaten freely at my choice, fair one, and a plate of strawberries is all that I desire." - Mark Blackthorn ~ Cassandra Clare
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Cassandra Clare
According to this new evidence, most of our thinking (including our moral judgment) is not a pristinely rational process in the traditional sense, and therefore reasoning is not a bloodless, emotionless, purely formal logical process. Instead, we need an intact and functioning emotional apparatus in order for our reason to have any possibility of operating appropriately in a given situation. ~ Mark Johnson
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Johnson
Consider just a few of the expressions that fall under the umbrella ARGUMENT IS WAR, collected by the linguist George Lakoff and the philosopher Mark Johnson.
Your claims are indefensible. He attacked every weak point in my argument. His criticisms were right on target. I demolished his argument. I've never won an argument with her. You don't agree? Okay, shoot! If you use that strategy, he'll wipe you out. She shot down all of my arguments.
Or the many variations of LOVE IS A JOURNEY:
Our relationship has hit a dead-end street. It's stalled; we can't keep going the way we've been going. Look how far we've come. It's been a long, bumpy road. We can't turn back now. We're at a crossroads. We may have to go our separate ways. The relationship isn't going anywhere. We're spinning our wheels. Our relationship is off the track. Our marriage is on the rocks. I'm thinking of bailing out. ~ Steven Pinker
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Steven Pinker
I believe it is the mark of a great leader to question the decisions that came before him. ~ Marissa Meyer
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Marissa Meyer
Learning is indeed a lifelong process. And as Alison Gopnik and colleagues argued in another recent book, every time the infant learns something, his or her brain is changed in a way that helps it learn something else. In a review of this book, a prominent developmental expert, Mark Johnson, noted that the early years are crucial not because the window of opportunity closes but because what is learned at this time becomes the foundation for subsequent learning. Indeed, much of the self is learned by making new memories out of old ones. Just as learning is the process of creating memories, the memories created are dependent on things we've learned before. ~ Joseph E. LeDoux
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Joseph E. LeDoux
Yet hypotaxis (along with reason) has been declining for a century or more. Gone are those heady and incomprehensible sentences of Johnson, Dickens, and Austen, replaced with the cruel, brutalist parataxes of writers whose aim is to agitate and distress. The long sentence is now a ridiculed rarity, usually hidden away in the Terms and Conditions, its commas and colons, clauses and caveats languishing unread and unloved. ~ Mark Forsyth
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Forsyth
He could sleep in the ruins of cities lost for centuries. ~ Cassandra Clare
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Cassandra Clare
People are tagged with other labels that point to the lowest-status group they belong to, as in "woman doctor" or "black writer," but never "white lawyer" or male senator". Any category that lowers our status relative to others' can be used to mark us; to be privileged is to go through life with the relative ease of being unmarked. ~ Allan G. Johnson
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Allan G. Johnson
One person can make a difference. A huge difference. Consider what a solitary individual may accomplish: In 1645 one vote gave Oliver Cromwell control of England. In 1649 one vote cost Charles I of England his life, causing him to be executed. In 1776 one vote gave America the English language instead of the German language. In 1839 one vote elected Mark Morgan governor of Massachusetts. In 1845 one vote brought Texas into the Union. In 1868 one vote saved President Johnson from impeachment. In 1875 one vote changed France from a monarchy to a republic. In 1876 one vote gave Rutherford B. Hayes the United States presidency. In 1923 one vote gave Adolf Hitler control of the Nazi party. In 1941 one vote saved the Selective Service Agency just ~ David Jeremiah
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by David Jeremiah
Mark Vink is a not a typical ME/CFS patient. He is severely ill. It takes him twelve hours to recover from a walk from his bed to the bathroom. While he's not typical he may not be that uncommon, though. Some estimates suggest that about 25% of ME/CFS patients are home bound or bedridden. Few ever make it into research studies. ~ Cort Johnson
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Cort Johnson
Nothing incites to money-crimes like great poverty or great wealth.
- More Maxims of Mark, Johnson, 1927 ~ Mark Twain
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Twain
[Alon Johnson] Later wrote that, coming through a battered building near a well known and dangerous doorway. I heard something unfamiliar
the sound of excited voices somewhere in the distance. The significance of this babble seemed to escape the tired company, but to me it suggested a sudden and radical change in the situation. Important enough to risk being shot at by showing myself in the doorway. Nothing happened, so I stepped into the street, ... ~ Mark Zuehlke
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Zuehlke
Times were good. No, they were great. My company had just passed six figures in revenue, and it was headed to break the seven-figure mark. My team grew to almost twenty people, all of whom were passionate about the business and exceeded my expectations. Various local and national publications were calling me to secure an interview so that they could highlight me, a young entrepreneur with great potential. ~ Kevin D. Johnson
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Kevin D. Johnson
After a noticeable silence, he'd recently published a book of technically baffling poems, with line breaks so arbitrary and frequent as to be useless, arrhythmic. On the page they look like some of Charles Bukowski's skinny, chatty, muttering-stuttering antiverses. Impossibly, Mark's words make music, the faraway strains of an irresistible jazz. It's plain to any reader, within a few lines - well, go read the poems and see, Marcus Ahearn traffics with the ineffable. He makes the mind of the speaker present, in that here-and-now where the reader actually reads - that place. Such a rare thing. Samuel Beckett. Jean Follain, Ionesco - the composer Billy Strayhorn. Mark calls his process "psychic improvisation" and referred me to the painter Paul Klee; the term was Klee's. "You just get out a pen and a notebook and let your mind go long," he told me. ~ Denis Johnson
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Denis Johnson
want to ask you a question." He nodded. "Take me to the dance next weekend." He tilted his head to the side and frowned. "Lilly, that was not in the form of a question. A question is a request that ends with a question mark. What you just said was a statement. ~ Amber L. Johnson
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Amber L. Johnson
But they were hers now. The Damned were solidly hers. If she said, "Jump," they paused only to ask, "How high?" then did their best to hit that exact mark, no more and no less. Even Hollick's replacement, Private Nesbit, was hers. He had asked plenty of questions among her crew, watched her actions and plans unfolding in combat after combat, and had developed a solid level of faith in his CO.

After more than two years of open war, two and a half if one counted their preliminary strikes, and after enduring three to four times as many fights as any other crew, they had lost only one soldier from their Company. There was no doubt that Ia's Damned were the finest fighting force available to the war. Two things made them that way: Ia's trust in them to be the right people for the right job at the right point in time, and their trust in her to let them know what the right job was. ~ Jean Johnson
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Jean Johnson
When I see your scars, do I want to erase them? Absolutely. But not your physical scars. The real ones, beneath the surface. The ones that compel you to stay silent or force you to cringe. Those are the scars I want to obliterate." His finger circles the dip of a burn mark on her forearm. "This is a battle trophy and nothing to be ashamed of. Every one of your scars makes you more beautiful to me. ~ Laura Kreitzer
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Laura Kreitzer
If you're being smothered from someone on top of you, you've got to move, if you can't move, you better pray, and then find a pocket of air (this pocket of air will be hot and humid and almost not worth breathing, but it's all you got). ~ Mark Johnson
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Johnson
A metaphor is not merely a linguistic expression (a form of words) used for artistic or rhetorical purposes; instead, it is a process of human understanding by which we achieve meaningful experience that we can make sense of. A metaphor, in this "experiential" sense, is a process by which we understand and structure one domain of experience in terms of another domain of a different kind. ~ Mark Johnson
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Johnson
Some claim a place in the list of patriots, by an acrimonious and unremitting opposition to the court. This mark is by no means infallible. Patriotism is not necessarily included in rebellion. A man may hate his king, yet not love his country. ~ Samuel Johnson
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Samuel Johnson
Good breeding consists in having no particular mark of any profession, but a general elegance of manners. ~ Samuel Johnson
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Samuel Johnson
And when we make choices informed by a
depressive state of mind, they're more than likely to keep us stuck in our unhappiness. ~ J. Mark G. Williams
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by J. Mark G. Williams
As in the case of painters, who have undertaken to give us a beautiful and graceful figure, which may have some slight blemishes, we do not wish then to pass over such blemishes altogether, nor yet to mark them too prominently. The one would spoil the beauty, and the other destroy the likeness of the picture. ~ Plutarch
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Plutarch
Thoreau wrote, "Simplify! Simplify!" And, indeed, simplification is one mark of real genius. ~ Dan Ariely
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Dan Ariely
I may be running out of options, but running out isn't an option. ~ Mark Lawrence
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Lawrence
People frequently comment on the emptiness in one night stands, but emptiness here has always been just another word for darkness. Blind encounters writing sonnets no one can ever read. Desire and pain communicated in the vague language of sex.
None of which made sense to me until much later when I realized everything I thought I'd retained of my encounters added up to so very little, hardly enduring, just shadows of love outlining nothing at all. ~ Mark Z. Danielewski
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Z. Danielewski
It may not maek sense to you, now, but when you get older you'll udnerstnad that some times things have t o be done. Hard things. But everyone will hate the person who finally does them. But if they do them anyway, that's the mark of true honor. -Silver ~ Rhiannon Held
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Rhiannon Held
it is extraordinary how few Christians make any concerted effort to keep the commandment of sabbath rest. We have somehow twisted Jesus' pithy rebuke of the Pharisees, "The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath" (Mark 2:27) from a warning against legalism into a license for neglect. We seem to forget that in the very next breath Jesus asserts, "so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath" (v. 28), thus asserting his lordship over - not exemption from or indifference to - this very good gift from God to his image bearers. ~ Andy Crouch
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Andy Crouch
Increasingly constructive doubt is the sign of advancing civilization. We must put question marks along many of our inherited legal dogmas, since they are dangerously out of line with social facts. ~ Jerome Frank
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Jerome Frank
If the figure of discipline was the worker-prisoner, the figure of control is the debtor-addict. ~ Mark Fisher
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Fisher
It's nice being offered a lot of interesting films and being asked to take part in things that are quite curious. If you hunt and keep looking, there are some wonderful things that come out. ~ Mark Rylance
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Rylance
Man was made at the end of the week's work when God was tired. ~ Mark Twain
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Twain
Ours is the "land of the free" - nobody denies that - nobody challenges it. [Maybe it is because we won't let other people testify.] ~ Mark Twain
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Twain
His very person and appearance were such as to strike the attention of the most casual observer. In height he was rather over six feet, and so excessively lean that he seemed to be considerably taller. His eyes were sharp and piercing, save during those intervals of torpor to which I have alluded; and his thin, hawk-like nose gave his whole expression an air of alertness and decision. His chin, too, had the prominence and squareness which mark the man of determination. His hands were invariably blotted with ink and stained with chemicals, yet he was possessed of extraordinary delicacy of touch, as I frequently had occasion to observe when I watched him manipulating his fragile philosophical instruments. ~ Arthur Conan Doyle
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
I know I'm prejudiced, and I know I'm bigoted in a lot of different ways, ~ Mark Cuban
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Cuban
He would be a consul no doubt by and by, at some foreign port, of the language of which he was ignorant; though if ignorance of language were a qualification he might have been a consul at home. ~ Mark Twain
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Twain
Well,' Otto gave a sly smile, 'I just happened to come across this keycard last night, and it looked like it might come in handy.'

'That keycard was secured in the vault, Mr Malpense,' Ms Leon said sharply, 'a vault that is supposed to be impregnable, I might add.'

'Someone must have left the door open,' Otto replied, a look of false innocence on his face. 'That's the only explanation I can think of. ~ Mark Walden
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Walden
To the end of homicidal dictators with weird black bangs and puny square mustaches!" The ~ Mark T. Sullivan
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark T. Sullivan
You might get up at noon and work at home in your dressing gown, in a pigsty of a living room. You might check into a different hotel room every day and work on the bed. Your creative process and working habits might look like total chaos to an outsider, but if they work for you, that's all that matters. And there will be some method in the madness – patterns in your daily activities that are vital to your creativity. These are the things you need to do to keep your imagination alive – whether it's sitting at a desk by 6am, using the same pen, notebook or make of computer, hitch-hiking across America, putting rotten apples in your desk so that the scent wafts into your nostrils as you work, or sitting in your favourite café with a glass of absinthe. ~ Mark McGuinness
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark McGuinness
If the way you've been treating me is a mark of fondness, maybe you'd better take a fresh look at your interpersonal communication skills. ~ Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Each of us knows it all, and knows he knows it all - the rest, to a man, are fools and eluded. One man knows there is a hell, the next one knows there isn't; one man knows monarchy is best, the next one knows it isn't; one man knows high tariff is right, the next man knows it isn't; one man knows there are witches, the next one knows there aren't; one sect knows its religion is the only true one, there are sixty-four thousand five hundred million sects that know it isn't so. ~ Mark Twain
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Twain
He said that man's heart was the only bad heart in the animal kingdom; that man was the only animal capable of feeling malice, envy, vindictiveness, revengefulness, hatred, selfishness, the only animal that loves drunkenness, almost the only animal that could endure personal uncleanliness and a filthy habitation, the sole animal in whom was fully developed the base instinct called patriotism, the sole animal that robs, persecutes, oppresses and kills members of his own tribe, the sole animal that steals and enslaves the members of any tribe. ~ Mark Twain
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Twain
And one day she discovered that she was fierce, and strong, and full of fire, and that not even she could hold herself back because her passion burned brighter than her fears. ~ Mark Anthony
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Anthony
. . . While competency and insanity are not the same things and the standards of proof are different, they are undoubtedly first cousins. ~ Mark M. Bello
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark M. Bello
Super-heroes were created to represent the best in all of us. We should aspire to match their nobility, not their ability to shoot big chrome guns. ~ Mark Waid
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Waid
Don't go in fear of that which has been looked at again and again. Poets return to the MOON immemorially; it is deeply compelling and we probably won't ever get done with it. The challenge is to look at the familiar without the expected scaffolding of seeing, and the payoff is that such a gaze feels enormously rewarding; it wakes us up, when the old verities are dusted off, the tired approaches set aside. ~ Mark Doty
Chronicles Of Mark Johnson quotes by Mark Doty
Playing college soccer was going to be the top of my athletic feats. I wasn't going to the Olympics. I was a decent player, but it's because of hard work, not because I was Freddy Adu. I wouldn't have a medal from the Olympics if I wasn't in a chair. I wouldn't have gone to the Olympics and experienced the whole atmosphere. ~ Mark Zupan
