Oh, I'm developing a beautiful character! It droops a bit under cold and frost, but it does grow fast when the sun shines.
That's the way with everybody. I don't agree with the theory that adversity and sorrow and disappointment develop moral strength. The happy people are the ones who are bubbling over with kindliness. ~ Jean Webster
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Jean Webster
I look forward all day to evening, and then I put an "engaged" on the door and get into my nice red bath robe and furry slippers and pile all the cushions behind me on the couch, and light the brass student lamp at my elbow, and read and read and read. One book isn't enough. I have four going at once. Just now, they're Tennyson's poems and "Vanity Fair" and Kipling's "Plain Tales" and - don't laugh - "Little Women." I find that I am the only girl in college who wasn't brought up on "Little Women." I haven't told anybody though (that would stamp me as queer). I just quietly went and bought it with $1.12 of my last month's allowance; and the next time somebody mentions pickled limes, I'll know what she is talking about! ~ Jean Webster
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Jean Webster
I have an evening dress, pink mull over silk (I'm perfectly beautiful in that), and a blue church dress, and a dinner dress of red veiling with Oriental trimming (makes me look like a Gipsy), and another of rose-coloured challis, and a grey street suit, and an every-day dress for classes. That wouldn't be an awfully big wardrobe for Julia Rutledge Pendleton, perhaps, but for Jerusha Abbott - Oh, my! ~ Jean Webster
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Jean Webster
I believe absolutely in my own free will and my own power to accomplish - and that is the belief that moves mountains. ~ Jean Webster
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Jean Webster
What do you think is my favourite book? Just now, I mean; I change every three days. "Wuthering Heights." Emily Bronte was quite young when she wrote it, and had never been outside of Haworth churchyard. She had never known any men in her life; how could she imagine a man like Heathcliff?
I couldn't do it, and I'm quite young and never outside the John Grier Asylum - I've had every chance in the world. Sometimes a dreadful fear comes over me that I'm not a genius. Will you be awfully disappointed, Daddy, if I don't turn out to be a great author? ~ Jean Webster
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Jean Webster
Is it snowing where you are? All the world that I see from my tower is draped in white and the flakes are coming down as big as pop-corns. It's late afternoon - the sun is just setting (a cold yellow colour) behind some colder violet hills, and I am up in my window seat using the last light to write to you. ~ Jean Webster
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Jean Webster
The Letters of Miss Jerusha Abbott to Mr. Daddy-Long-Legs Smith 215 ~ Jean Webster
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Jean Webster
Where do you think my new novel is? In the waste basket. I can see myself that it's no good on earth, and when a loving author realizes this, what would be the judgment of a critical public? ~ Jean Webster
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Jean Webster
This is an extra letter in the middle of the month because I'm rather lonely tonight. It's awfully stormy; the snow is beating against my tower. All the lights are out on the campus, but I drank black coffee and I can't go to sleep.
I had a supper party this evening consisting of Sallie and Julia and Leonora Fenton - and sardines and toasted muffins and salad and fudge and coffee. Julia said she'd had a good time, but Sallie stayed to help wash the dishes. ~ Jean Webster
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Jean Webster
Behold me - a Sophomore! I came up last Friday, sorry to leave Lock Willow, but glad to see the campus again. It is a pleasant sensation to come back to something familiar. I am beginning to feel at home in college, and in command of the situation; I am beginning, in fact, to feel at home in the world - as though I really belonged to it and had not just crept in on sufferance. ~ Jean Webster
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Jean Webster
Do you want to know something? I have three pairs of kid gloves. I've had kid mittens before from the Christmas tree, but never real kid gloves with five fingers. I take them out and try them on every little while. It's all I can do not to wear them to classes. ~ Jean Webster
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Jean Webster
We often pray for purity, unselfishness, for the highest qualities of character, and forget that these things cannot be given, but must be earned. ~ Lyman Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Lyman Abbott
I don't think my religious convictions should be held against me. ~ Tony Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Tony Abbott
Did you ever stop to think that even if I am a monster, I might be your soulmate anyway? ~ Julie Johnson
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Julie Johnson
It was always just trying to move to the next limit. I didn't think about making the major leagues - every kid has that dream, I had it, but when I was in Little League I just wanted to make the junior high team. When I was in junior high, I wanted to make the Varsity team. ~ Jim Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Jim Abbott
I feel a shaking in me, and it's the ground. It's like the ground is shaking and I will slip through.
Then, in a flash, his hands reach out and, like in a movie, really, the coffee cup falls to the cement steps with a sharp crack, and he grabs my arms and his face is filled with everything that is urgent and loving and meaningful in the world.
I feel so powerful, like a god, thunderbolt in hand.
And my thunderbolt hit. ~ Megan Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Megan Abbott
What can I do? his gaze on me was intense, like I was some sort of love guru or something. I almost laughed out loud at how unqualified I was for that position. ~ Katrina Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Katrina Abbott
All faults or defects, from the slightest misconduct to the most flagitious crime, Pantocyclus attributed to some deviation from perfect Regularity in the bodily figure, caused perhaps (if not congenital) by some collision in a crowd; by neglect to take exercise, or by taking too much of it; or even by a sudden change of temperature, resulting in a shrinkage or expansion in some too susceptible part of the frame. Therefore, concluded that illustrious Philosopher, neither good conduct nor bad conduct is a fit subject, in any sober estimation, for either praise or blame. For why should you praise, for example, the integrity of a Square who faithfully defends the interests of his client, when you ought in reality rather to admire the exact precision of his right angles? Or again, why blame a lying, thievish Isosceles when you ought rather to deplore the incurable inequality of his sides?

Theoretically, this doctrine is unquestionable; but it has practical drawbacks. In dealing with an Isosceles, if a rascal pleads that he cannot help stealing because of his unevenness, you reply that for that very reason, because he cannot help being a nuisance to his neighbours, you, the Magistrate, cannot help sentencing him to be consumed - and there's an end of the matter. But in little domestic difficulties, where the penalty of consumption, or death, is out of the question, this theory of Configuration sometimes comes in awkwardly; and I must confess that occasionally when one o ~ Edwin A. Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Edwin A. Abbott
There are going to be more moments in your life that you regret not doing than there will be moments you regret doing. So do them, and please, don't hold back. ~ Sophie Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Sophie Abbott
If we hadn't controlled the Senate, I would never have had to eat that particular shit sandwich," Abbott told Peter Hartcher. "Getting control of the Senate was a curse. It allowed us to do things that we would not normally have been able to get away with and I think it tempted us to chance our arm in ways which ultimately did us significant political damage." In the end, he decided to stay in cabinet. He didn't bitch and moan to the press gallery. He went back to work. ~ David Marr
Jerusha Abbott quotes by David Marr
We are looking at what more we can do. As well as a strong security response we need a strong humanitarian one. ~ Tony Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Tony Abbott
There is nudity, of course striptease is an essential component of burlesque but it's much more complex and intelligent than a display of nudity for nudity itself. And its often laugh-out-loud funny. ~ Karen Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Karen Abbott
There's a Harvard man on the wrong side of every question. ~ Abbott Lawrence Lowell
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Abbott Lawrence Lowell
He looked like he could tie a knot in a fire poker, eat it, and crap it out straight. ~ Megan Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Megan Abbott
The city yawns and stretches. A lazy Sunday morning opens its eyes. Cesar's always loved it down here. The water flowing beneath him. The city surrounding the ancient river. A bright green canopy of trees far off in the distance. Cesar's always appreciated the beauty. He's always thought it was a perfect juxtaposition of urban and God. ~ Daniel Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Daniel  Abbott
I am in favour of the notion of Australia as an immigrant society. ~ Tony Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Tony Abbott
We were doomed from the start. A lost cause. A losing battle. And yet, in that narrow instant, I didn't give a single fuck. ~ Julie Johnson
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Julie Johnson
It's not at all uncommon for a writer to get a ton of publicity for one book and then not get as much for the next one. I don't worry about that because I try to worry about the one single part of the job I can control: the writing of the book. If I do that well, I feel, good tidings generally will follow and readers will stick with me. ~ Jeff Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Jeff Abbott
Service makes men competent. ~ Lyman Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Lyman Abbott
Putting labels on people is so counter-productive. Most of us on some issues could be considered conservative, on other issues could be considered progressive, on other issues might be thought of as being moderate, on other issues might be thought of as being rather forthright. ~ Tony Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Tony Abbott
We will act to build a better world. We always have, we always will. We will act to lend a helping hand, not just here but wherever we humanly can. ~ Tony Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Tony Abbott
There are 101 websites out there for debate - this was a blatant last attempt to get someone to stand against Gordon Brown. ~ Diane Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Diane Abbott
We accept that sometimes in difficult circumstances, difficult things happen. ~ Tony Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Tony Abbott
They founded a society based not upon currency and commodities but on the elementary notion that if you failed to raise enough to eat, you would go hungry. ~ Shirley Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Shirley Abbott
Where'd that world go, that world when you're a kid, and now I can't remember noticing anything, not the smell of the leaves or the sharp curl of dried maple on your ankles, walking? I live in cars now, and my own bedroom, the windows sealed shut, my mouth to my phone, hand slick around its neon jelly case, face closed to the world, heart closed to everything. ~ Megan Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Megan Abbott
I escaped one time. In 1971 I was in the free world for six weeks. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
I want to make it clear that I do not judge or condemn any woman who has had an abortion, but every abortion is a tragedy and up to 100,000 abortions a year is this generation's legacy of unutterable shame. ~ Tony Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Tony Abbott
Voluntary paid maternity leave: yes; compulsory paid maternity leave: over this Government's dead body, frankly. It just won't happen. ~ Tony Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Tony Abbott
When you are challenging the young, they can come back at you with language of tremendous power and they are no respecters of sacred cows, you know, the young. There's nothing politically correct about the average young Australian when it comes to use of language. ~ Tony Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Tony Abbott
War is science of destruction. ~ John Stevens Cabot Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by John Stevens Cabot Abbott
In the beginning of the war, Southern women wanted their men to leave - in droves, and as quickly as possible. They were the Confederate Army's most persuasive and effective recruitment officers, shaming anyone who shirked his duty to fight. ~ Karen Abbott
Jerusha Abbott quotes by Karen Abbott
