Sometimes there is no happy choice, Sam, only one less grievous than the others. - Jon Snow ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
And all was black and still, and black and cold, and black and dead, and black. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Be careful you don't cut yourself. The edges are sharp enough to shave with.'
'Girls don't shave', Arya said.
'Maybe they should. Have you ever seen the septa's legs? ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Winter is coming, we know what's coming with it. We can learn to live with the wildlings, or we can add them to the army of the dead. ~ Jon Snow
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Snow
You are your mother's trueborn son of Lannister."
"Am I?" the dwarf replied, sardonic. "Do tell my lord father. My mother died birthing me, and he's never been sure."
"I don't even know who my mother was," Jon said.
"Some woman, no doubt. Most of them are." He favored Jon with a rueful grin. "Remember this, boy. All dwarfs may be bastards, yet not all bastards need be dwarfs."
And with that he turned and sauntered back into the feast, whistling a tune.
When he opened the door, the light from within threw his shadow clear across the yard, and for just a moment Tyrion Lannister stood tall as a king. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Tell Robb that I'm going to command the Night's Watch and keep him safe, so he might as well take up needlework with the girls and have Mikken melt down his sword for horseshoes.
- Jon Snow ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Remember this, boy. All dwarfs may be bastards, yet not all bastards need be dwarfs ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
You know nothing, Jon Snow, Ygritte used to say, but he had learned. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
I don't know what message to send to Bran. Help him Tyrion."
"What help could I give him? I am no maester, to ease his pain. I have no spell to give him back his legs."
"You gave me help when I needed it" Jon Snow said.
"I gave you nothing," Tyrion said. "Words."
"Then give your words to Bran too. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Hunter scored a total beauty in the third," Hollis says from his stool. "I almost came in my pants."

"Don't be crude in front of the baby," I say immediately.

"Bro, you brought a baby to a bar. Go throw glass stones in your own house." When everyone snickers, Hollis is visibly confused. "What?"

"That's not the phrase," Hannah says helpfully.

"Sure it is."

"It's really not."

Hollis waves a hand. "You know nothing, Jon Snow. ~ Elle Kennedy
Jon Snow quotes by Elle Kennedy
Jon:'What are you doing up there? Why aren't you at the feast?'
Tyrion: 'Too hot, too noisy, and I'd drunk too much wine', the dwarf told him. 'I learned long ago that it is considered rude to vomit on your brother. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Every man must die, Jon Snow. But first he must live. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
I know people like Jon Snow a lot. ~ Richard Madden
Jon Snow quotes by Richard Madden
Sometimes I dream about it, I'm walking down this long empty hall. My voice echoes all around, but no one answers, so I walk faster, opening doors, shouting names. I don't even know who I'm looking for. Most nights it's my father, but sometimes it's Robb instead, or my little sister Arya, or my uncle. Even the ravens are gone from the rookery, and the stables are full of bones. That always scares me. I start to run then, throwing open doors, climbing the tower three steps at a time, screaming for someone, for anyone. And then I find myself in front of the door to the crypts. It's black inside, and I can see the steps spiraling down. Somehow I know I have to go down there, but I don't want to. I'm afraid of what might be waiting for me. The old Kings of Winter are down there, sitting on their thrones with stone wolves at their feet and iron swords across their laps, but it's not them I'm afraid of. I scream that I'm not a Stark, that this isn't my place, but it's no good, I have to go anyway, so I start down, feeling the walls as I descend, with no torch to light the way. It gets darker and darker, until I want to scream" -Jon Snow ~ George R.R. Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R.R. Martin
Jon. Snow. Is. A. Huge. Deal. ~ Claire Contreras
Jon Snow quotes by Claire Contreras
You make us look bad', complained Toad.
'You looked bad before I ever met you', Jon told him. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
They say, 'You know nothing, Jon Snow. ~ Kevin Hearne
Jon Snow quotes by Kevin Hearne
Free folk and kneelers are more alike than not, Jon Snow. Men are men and women women, no matter which side of the Wall we were born on. Good men and bad, heroes and villains, men of honor, liars, cravens, brutes ... we have plenty, as do you. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
I know nothing, Ygritte, he [Jon Snow] thought, and perhaps I never will (465). ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
I don't ever want t' leave this cave, Jon Snow. Not ever ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
She walked fast, to keep ahead of her fear, and it felt as though Syrio Forel walked beside her, and Yoren, and Jaqen H'ghar, and Jon Snow. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Not so fast. I still have to shower."
"Why? Because you just worked out? Because you're still a little hot and sweaty and you have this masculine musk going on?"
He knows nothing. He is Jon Snow ~ R.S. Grey
Jon Snow quotes by R.S. Grey
Jon Snow, you know nothing. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
My whole day is built around meetings that can be achieved around bike rides. My contract actually offers me a free car from my home to my office and back, but I suppose I am addicted to cycling. ~ Jon Snow
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Snow
I know I want you," he heard himself say, all his vows and his honor all forgotten. She stood before him naked as her name day, and he was as hard as the rock around them. He had been in her half a hundred times by now, but always beneath furs, with others all around them. He had never seeen how beautiful she was. Her legs were skinny and well muscled, the hair at the juncture of her thighs a brighter red than that on her head. Does that make it even luckier? He pulled her close.

"I love the smell of you," he said. "I love your red hair. I love your mouth, and the way you kiss me. I love your smile. I love your teats." He kissed them, one and then the other. "I love your skinny legs, and what's between them." He knelt to kiss her there, lightly on her mound at first, but Ygritte moved her legs apart a little, and he saw the pink inside and kissed that as well, and tasted her.

She gave a little gasp. "If you love me all so much, why are you still dressed?" she whispered. "You know nothing, Jon Snow. Noth---oh. Oh. OHHH."

Afterward, she was almost shy, or as shy as Ygritte ever got. "The thing you did," she said, when they lay together on their piled clothes. "With your...mouth." She hesistated. "Is that...is it what lordss do to their ladies, down in the south?"

"I don't think so." No one had ever told Jon just what lords did with their ladies. "I only...wanted to kiss you there, that's all. You seemed to like it."

"Aye. ~ George R.R. Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R.R. Martin
At Halloween a lot of young people were wearing Bush masks mocked up as an incarnation of the Devil. ~ Jon Snow
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Snow
Everything Syrio Forel had ever taught her vanished in a heartbeat. In that instant of sudden terror, the only lesson Arya could remember was the one Jon Snow had given her, the very first.
She stuck him with the pointy end, driving the blade upward with a wild, hysterical strength. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
I don't know whether we think in moving images or whether we think in still images. I have a suspicion that on our hard drive, our series within our brains, [exist] still photographs of very important moments in our lives ... That we think in terms of still images and that what the photography is doing is making direct contact with the human hard drive and recording for all time a sense of what happened. ~ Jon Snow
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Snow
Or been driven away," their father said, looking at the sixth pup. His fur was white, where the rest of the litter was grey. His eyes were as red as the blood of the ragged man who had died that morning. Bran thought it curious that this pup alone would have opened his eyes while the others were still blind. "An albino," Theon Greyjoy said with wry amusement. "This one will die even faster than the others." Jon Snow gave his father's ward a long, chilling look. "I think not, Greyjoy," he said. "This one belongs to me. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
He could help you, He can do sums, and he knows how to read and write. I know Chett can't read, and Clydas has weak eyes. Sam read every book in his father's library. He'd be good with the ravens too. Animals seem to like him. Ghost took to him straight off. There's a lot he could do, besides fighting. The Night's Watch needs every man. Why kill one, to no end? Make use of him instead. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
The pale pink light of dawn sparkled on branch and leaf and stone. Every blade of grass was carved from emerald, every drip of water turned to diamond. Flowers and mushrooms alike wore coats of glass. Even the mud puddles had a bright brown sheen. Through the shimmering greenery, the black tents of his brothers were encased in a fine glaze of ice. So there is magic beyond the Wall after all. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
By the time Jon Snow signed the parchment the Braavosi drew up, both of them were half-drunk and quite unhappy. Jon thought that a good sign. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Maester Luwin taught you well, Jon Snow. Your mind is as deft as your blade, it would seem. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Different roads sometimes leads to the same castle. Who knows? ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Bastard children were born from lust and lies, men said; their nature was wanton and treacherous. - Jon Snow ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Who are you?" he would ask her every day. "No one," she would answer, she who had been Arya of House Stark, Arya Underfoot, Arya Horseface. She had been Arry and Weasel too, and Squab and Salty, Nan the cupbearer, a grey mouse, a sheep, the ghost of Harrenhal ... but not for true, not in her heart of hearts. In there she was Arya of Winterfell, the daughter of Lord Eddard Stark and Lady Catelyn, who had once had brothers named Robb and Bran and Rickon, a sister named Sansa, a direwolf called Nymeria, a half brother named Jon Snow. In there she was someone ... but that was not the answer he wanted. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
She yearned to see her mother again, and Robb and Bran and Rickon ... but it was Jon Snow she thought of most. She wished somehow they could come to the Wall before Winterfell, so Jon might muss up her hair and call her "little sister." She'd tell him, "I missed you," and he'd say it too at the very same moment, the way they always used to say things together. She would have liked that. She would have liked that better than anything. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Sam's no different from the rest of us. There was no place for him in this world, so he's come here. We're not gonna hurt him in the training yard anymore. Never again, no matter what Throne says. He's our brother now, and we're going to protect him."
Jon Snow ~ George R.R. Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R.R. Martin
But if that's not enough, then consider this: if the Night's Watch are truly brothers, then Lord Commander Mormont was our father. He lived and died for the Watch and he was betrayed by his own men, stabbed in the back by cowards. He deserved far better. ~ Jon Snow
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Snow
The only way to do my job without optimism would be as a cynic, and that's not my nature. ~ Jon Snow
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Snow
You know nothing, Jon Snow. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Jon wanted nothing more. No, he had to tell himself, those days are gone. The realization twisted in his belly like a knife. They had chosen him to rule. The Wall was his, and their lives were his as well. A lord may love the men that he commands, he could hear his lord father saying, but he cannot be a friend to them. One day he may need to sit in judgement on them, or send them forth to die. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
And when I told you the tale o' Bael the Bard and how he plucked the rose o' Winterfell, I thought you'd know to pluck me then for certain, but you didn't. You know nothing, Jon Snow. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
The day before last, Jon had made the mistake of wishing he had hot water for a bath.
"Cold is better," she had said at once, "if you've got someone to warm you up after. The river's only part ice yet, go on."
Jon laughed. "You'd freeze me to death."
"Are all crows afraid of gooseprickles? A little ice won't kill you. I'll jump in with you to t'prove it so."
"And ride the rest of the day with wet clothes frozen to our skins?" he objected.
"Jon Snow, you know nothing. You don't go in with clothes."
"I don't go in at all," he said firmly, just before he heard Tormund Thunderfist bellowing for him (he hadn't, but nevermind). ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
The only time a man can be brave is when he is afraid. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
I'm as embarrassed as hell about it. I purged myself of my shame by buying the Beatles 'all you need is love', one of the most evocative singles of all time. ~ Jon Snow
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Snow
All that weeping makes me want to slap her," he complained, "and I can scarce sleep for her sobbing." You would weep as well if you had a son and lost him, Sam almost said. He could not blame Gilly for her grief. Instead, he blamed Jon Snow and wondered when Jon's heart had turned to stone. Once he asked Maester Aemon that very question, when Gilly was down at the canal fetching water for them. "When you raised him up to be the lord commander," the old man answered. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
We will fight a battle, and then we will rest. Alive or dead, we'll rest. - Jon Snow ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Shadows." The world seemed darker when he said it.
"Every man who walks the earth casts a shadow on the world. Some are thin and weak, others long and dark. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Jon Snow, you know nothing. You don't go in with clothes. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
He might as well wish for another thousand men, and maybe a dragon or three. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
You know nothing, Jon Snow!" "Who ~ Claire Contreras
Jon Snow quotes by Claire Contreras
Orell had been slain by the turncloak crow Jon Snow, and his hate for his killer had been so strong that Varamyr found himself hating the beastling boy as well. He had known what Snow was the moment he saw that great white direwolf stalking silent at his side. One skinchanger can always sense another. Mance should have let me take the direwolf. There would be a second life worthy of a king. He could have done it, he did not doubt. The gift was strong in Snow, but the youth was untaught, still fighting his nature when he should have gloried in it. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Desmond ushered the man inside. He was stooped and ugly, with an unkempt beard and unwashed clothes, yet Father greeted him pleasantly and asked his name.
"Yoren, as it please m'lord. My pardons for the hour." He bowed to Arya. "And this must be your son. He has your look."
"I'm a girl," Arya said, exasperated. If the old man was down from the Wall, he must have come by way of Winterfell. "Do you know my brothers?" she asked excitedly. "Robb and Bran are at Winterfell, and Jon's on the Wall. Jon Snow, he's in the Night's Watch too, you must know him, he has a direwolf, a white one with red eyes. Is Jon a ranger yet? I'm Arya Stark." The old man in his smelly black clothes was looking at her oddly, but Arya could not seem to stop talking. "When you ride back to the Wall, would you bring Jon a letter if I wrote one?" She wished Jon were here right now. He'd believe her about the dungeons and the fat man with the forked beard and the wizard in the steel cap. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Samwell Tarly looked at him for a long moment, and his round face seemed to cave in on itself. He sat down on the frost-covered ground and began to cry, huge choking sobs that made his whole body shake. Jon Snow could only stand and watch. Like the snowfall on the barrowlands, it seemed the tears would never end.
It was Ghost who knew what to do. Silent as shadow, the pale direwolf moved closer and began to lick the warm tears off Samwell Tarly's face. The fat boy cried out, startled... and somehow, in a heartbeat, his sobs turned to laughter. Jon Snow laughed with him. Afterward they sat on the frozen ground, huddled in their cloaks with Ghost between them. Jon told the story of how he and Robb had found the pups newborn in the late summer snows. It seemed a thousand years ago now. Before long he found himself talking of Winterfell.
"Sometimes I dream about it," he said. "I'm walking down this long empty hall. My voice echoes all around, but no one answers, so I walk faster, opening doors, shouting names. I don't even know who I'm looking for. Most nights it's my father, but sometimes it's Robb instead, or my little sister Arya, or my uncle." The thought of Benjen Stark saddened him; his uncle was still missing. The Old Bear had sent out rangers in search of him. Ser Jaremy Rykker had led two sweeps, and Quorin Halfhand had gone forth from the Shadow Tower, but they'd found nothing aside from a few blazes in the trees that his uncle had left to mark his way. In the ~ George R.R. Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R.R. Martin
We all must choose," she proclaimed. "Man or woman, young or old, lord or peasant, our choices are the same." Her voice made Jon Snow think of anise and nutmeg and cloves. She stood at the king's side on a wooden scaffold raised above the pit. "We choose light or we choose darkness. We choose good or we choose evil. We choose the true god or the false. ~ George R R Martin
Jon Snow quotes by George R R Martin
Dandelion wine. The words were summer on the tongue. The wine was summer caught and stoppered ... sealed away for opening on a January day with snow falling fast and the sun unseen for weeks ... ~ Ray Bradbury
Jon Snow quotes by Ray Bradbury
We judge others based on our love level. When we are full of love we have no room left for judgment. ~ Jon Scott
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Scott
The D-Day fortieth-anniversary project awakened my earliest memories. Between the ages of three and five I lived on an Army base in western South Dakota and spent a good deal of my time outdoors in a tiny helmet, shooting stick guns at imaginary German and Japanese soldiers. My father, Red Brokaw, then in his early thirties, was an all-purpose Mr. Fix-It and operator of snow-plows and ~ Tom Brokaw
Jon Snow quotes by Tom Brokaw
It's almost embarrassing to be out in public and someone comes up to you and says, 'My mother had the same thing you did.' What do you say? I don't know what to say to make them feel better about their situation. ~ Jon Lester
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Lester
There's something real in women's intuition. It's an accurate signpost for decision making, but it usually bumps up against man's logic. So we have to put ego aside and listen to them. ~ Jon Voight
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Voight
That's why Camilla and I got married," said Denniston as they drove off. "We both like Weather. Not this or that kind of weather, but just Weather. It's a useful taste if one lives in England."
"How ever did you learn to do that, Mr. Denniston?" said Jane. "I don't think I should ever learn to like rain and snow."
"It's the other way around," said Denniston. "Everyone begins as a child by liking Weather. You learn the art of disliking it as you grow up. Haven't you ever noticed it on a snowy day? The grown-ups are all going about with long faces, but look at the children--and the dogs? They know what snow's made for. ~ C.S. Lewis
Jon Snow quotes by C.S. Lewis
I relate to most of the characters I play, because I do feel like an outsider. ~ Jon Heder
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Heder
What's with her?" says the painter.
"She's mad because she's a woman," Jon says. This is something I haven't heard for years, not since high school. Once it was a shaming thing to say, and crushing to have it said about you, by a man. It implied oddness, deformity, sexual malfunction.
I go to the living room doorway. "I'm not mad because I'm a woman," I say. "I'm mad because you're an asshole. ~ Margaret Atwood
Jon Snow quotes by Margaret Atwood
I'm not a cheater. I've never cheated in my life. ~ Jon Hamm
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Hamm
The more he told me about himself, the more leverage I had for manipulation," he told Bob's researcher. "I just kept fueling the fire; the more fuel I added to the fire, the bigger payoff for me. I was the puppet master pulling the strings." Eventually ~ Jon Ronson
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Ronson
Mindfulness has been called the heart of Buddhist meditation. ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Kabat-Zinn
It's not that God, the environment, and other people cannot help us to be happy or find satisfaction. It's just that our happiness, satisfaction, and our understanding, even of God, will be no deeper than our capacity to know ourselves inwardly, to encounter the world from the deep comfort that comes from being at home in one's own skin, from an intimate familiarity with the ways of one's own mind and body. ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Kabat-Zinn
You can love someone as many ways as water falls from the sky. Sometimes it falls with thunder and lightning; other times it falls silently. Sometimes it falls as cool snow, and other times hard balls of ice beat down. If you want the water, you don't get to choose how it falls. ~ Anonymous
Jon Snow quotes by Anonymous
One snowy April night, I felt so lonely. I was drinking warm amaretto with Bleecker and reading, lying on the floor as the snow came down, listening to old scratchy albums, like Nick and I used to ~ Gillian Flynn
Jon Snow quotes by Gillian Flynn
His hands were tingling and he was sweating under falling snowflakes. ~ David Rangel
Jon Snow quotes by David Rangel
There are always waves on the water. Sometimes they are big, sometimes they are small, and sometimes they are almost imperceptible. The water's waves are churned up by the winds, which come and go and vary in direction and intensity, just as do the winds of stress and change in our lives, which stir up the waves in our minds. ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Kabat-Zinn
All day, the colours had been those of dusk, mist moving like a water creature across the great flanks of mountains possessed of ocean shadows and depths. Briefly visible above the vapour, Kanchenjunga was a far peak whittled out of ice, gathering the last of the night, a plume of snow blown high by the storms at its summit.
Sai, sitting on the veranda, was reading an article about giant squid in an old National Geographic. Every now and then she looked up at Kanchenjunga, observed its wizard phosphorescence with a shiver. The judge sat at the far corner with his chessboard, playing against himself. Stuffed under his chair where she felt safe was Mutt the dog, snoring gently in her sleep. A single bald lightbulb dangled on a wire above. It was cold, but inside the house, it was still colder, the dark, the freeze, contained by stone walls several feet deep. ~ Kiran Desai
Jon Snow quotes by Kiran Desai
The majority of boys think the highest form of creativity is weeing a pattern into snow. ~ Beth Garrod
Jon Snow quotes by Beth Garrod
The whole climate is changing: the winds, the ocean currents, the storm patterns, snow packs, snowmelt, flooding, droughts. Temperature is just a bit of it. ~ John Holdren
Jon Snow quotes by John Holdren
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, but usually fiction is just better. ~ Jon Weisman
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Weisman
Tumblr has a big community of bears and bear chasers. All my favorites on Tumblr and all the fan mail I get is all like, "We want to tickle you! What size shoe are you?" They're all like really big, heavyset, bearded guys who are like, "I want to ride your face like a motorcycle!" ~ Jon Gabrus
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Gabrus
It was a beautiful letdown, the day I knew, that all the riches this world had to offer me, will never do. ~ Jon Foreman
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Foreman
It was hard to imagine the icy water thawed and re-sealing, or the sky returning to a lively blue. She had a sense of contraction, of huddling against the weather. Later, it figured in her mind as Stalinist classicism, the wind tunnel of the vast and inhuman Karl-Marx-Allee, and the shapes of people in padded jackets bending against the cruel air. A scene from Eisenstein, perhaps, with a gelid lens and the special effects of monumental vision, swollen by an aerial view and historical misery. Black outlines on white snow, impersonality, extinguishment. Exaggeration of this kind was irresistible. In that early, fierce cold, Berliners coped better. ~ Gail Jones
Jon Snow quotes by Gail Jones
The Eskimos have thirty words for describing different kinds of snow, and modern Russian has about the same number of expressions to describe giving a bribe to a state official. ~ Victor Pelevin
Jon Snow quotes by Victor Pelevin
Feeling his heart swell in his chest, Baltsaros looked fiercely at Jon, and the dark-haired man frowned at him. "What is it?" asked Jon, his voice alarmed. Baltsaros licked his lips and swallowed. "I'm just so very glad you're alive, Jon. So very glad," he said softly. "You are my everything. ~ Bey Deckard
Jon Snow quotes by Bey Deckard
And then a strange calm fell over her and the snow and limbs were no longer obstacles. In this moment she became a part of the forest and avoided pitfalls and roots with ease. She felt free as the howling winds and the birds of prey that trailed them. ~ Jennifer Silverwood
Jon Snow quotes by Jennifer Silverwood
1. Society needs laws. While anarchy can often turn a humdrum weekend into something unforgettable, eventually the mob must be kept from stealing the conch and killing Piggy. And while it would be nice if that "something" was simple human decency, anybody who has witnessed the "50% Off Wedding Dress Sale" at Filene's Basement knows we need a backup plan - preferably in writing. On the other hand, too many laws can result in outright tyranny, particularly if one of those laws is "Kneel before Zod." Somewhere between these two extremes lies the legislative sweet-spot that produces just the right amount of laws for a well-adjusted society - more than zero, less than fascism. ~ Jon Stewart
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Stewart
Here's the thing about global warming that I didn't realize: it would all happen at once. ~ Jon Stewart
Jon Snow quotes by Jon Stewart
[L]et us not overlook the further great fact, that not only does science underlie sculpture, painting, music, poetry, but that science is itself poetic. The current opinion that science and poetry are opposed is a delusion. ... On the contrary science opens up realms of poetry where to the unscientific all is a blank. Those engaged in scientific researches constantly show us that they realize not less vividly, but more vividly, than others, the poetry of their subjects. Whoever will dip into Hugh Miller's works on geology, or read Mr. Lewes's "Seaside Studies," will perceive that science excites poetry rather than extinguishes it. And whoever will contemplate the life of Goethe will see that the poet and the man of science can co-exist in equal activity. Is it not, indeed, an absurd and almost a sacrilegious belief that the more a man studies Nature the less he reveres it? Think you that a drop of water, which to the vulgar eye is but a drop of water, loses anything in the eye of the physicist who knows that its elements are held together by a force which, if suddenly liberated, would produce a flash of lightning? Think you that what is carelessly looked upon by the uninitiated as a mere snow-flake, does not suggest higher associations to one who has seen through a microscope the wondrously varied and elegant forms of snow-crystals? Think you that the rounded rock marked with parallel scratches calls up as much poetry in an ignorant mind as in the mind of a geologist, who kno ~ Herbert Spencer
Jon Snow quotes by Herbert Spencer
Stop rolling down hill like a snow ball headed for hell. ~ Merle Haggard
Jon Snow quotes by Merle Haggard
As hardware doubles its density every 18-24 months, courtesy of Moore's Law, and as software eats the world, technology will replace a broad swathe of jobs outright - from burger-flippers to diagnosticians - and atomize many others from full-time positions into gigs performed by many fungible workers. Tech, in short, will eat jobs. ~ Jon Evans
