That's what gets me through the day. Knowing that I could do it. That I'm strong enough to do it and I can get it done. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
His terror became his companion. When it seemed to diminish, or grow easier to bear, he forced himself to remember the details of what he had said and done so that his fears returned, redoubled. His previous life, which had been without fear, he now dismissed as an illusion since he had come to believe that only in fear could the truth be found. When he woke from sleep without anxiety, he asked himself, What is wrong? What is missing? And then his door opened slowly, and a child put its head around and gazed at him: there are wheels, Ned thought, wheels within wheels. The curtains were now always closed, for the sun horrified him: he was reminded of a film he had seen some time before, and how the brightness of the noonday light had struck the water where a man, in danger of drowning, was struggling for his life. ~ Peter Ackroyd
Ned quotes by Peter Ackroyd
What's a triumph is that you woke up this morning and decided to live. That's a triumph. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
I waste at least an hour every day lying in bed. Then I waste time pacing. I waste time thinking. I waste time being quiet and not saying anything because I'm afraid I'll stutter. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
Wherever Cool is, anyway, I missed it, and now I'm stuck observing these machinations or sex and status and dancing and parties and people sucking at each other under the bleacher seating like some kind of freak, when I'm not the freak; Rich is the freak. Clearly. When I grow up, that had better be understood and I had better be compensated, or I'm going to shoot myself in the head. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
We tend to have things a little bit easier than girls. And we tend to assume therefore that the world was built for us, and that we're, you know, the culmination of everything that came before us. And then we get told that having a little bit of this attitude is called balls, and that balls are good, and we kind of take it from there ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
The party line is that some of the most profound truths about us are things that we stop saying in the middle, but i think they do it to make us feel important ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
I'm fine. Well, I'm not fine - I'm here."
"Is there something wrong with that?"
"Absolutely. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
The people are Anchors," I say.
"People don't make good Anchors, though, Craig. They change. The people here are going to change. The patients are going to leave. You can't rely on them. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
I sit on the damn iron seat when I must. Does that mean I don't have the same hungers as other men? A bit of wine now and again, a girl squealing in bed, the feel of a horse between my legs? Seven hells, Ned, I want to hit someone. ~ George R R Martin
Ned quotes by George R R Martin
Maybe it is possible to make new things out of the broken things. I ~ Ned Hayes
Ned quotes by Ned Hayes
I was with her when she died," Ned reminded the king. "She wanted to come home, to rest beside Brandon and Father." He could hear her still at times. Promise me, she had cried, in a room that smelled of blood and roses. Promise me, Ned. The fever had taken her strength and her voice had been faint as a whisper, but when he gave her his word, the fear had gone out of his sister's eyes. Ned remembered the way she smiled then, how tightly her fingers had clutched his as she gave up her hold on life, the rose petals spilling from her palm, dead and black. After that he remembered nothing. They had found him still holding her body, silent with grief. The little crannogman, Howland Reed, had taken her hand from his. ~ George R R Martin
Ned quotes by George R R Martin
People have always asked me why I'm drawn to material about kids, and for me, it's - I remember being at that age and feeling completely and utterly powerless. You know, there's so many things you wanna do and so many things you're told you can't do. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
I have outlived that care that curries public favour or dreads the public frown ... let the hand of law strike me down if it will, but I ask that my story be heard and considered. ~ Ned Kelly
Ned quotes by Ned Kelly
Quiet descended, a silence so consuming that even the drafty corridors ceased whistling. Bog wasn't certain where to look, so he solved the problem by plucking out his eyes and sticking them in a drawer. ~ A. Lee Martinez
Ned quotes by A. Lee Martinez
It's a huge thing, this Shift, just as big as I imagined. My brain doesn't want to think anymore; all of a sudden it wants to do. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
You are blessed with a good mind. You just have to have confidence in it and talk when people call on you. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
Rooster here has missed Ned a few times himself, horse and all,' said the captain. 'I reckon his is on his way now to missing him again.'

Rooster was holding a bottle with a little whiskey in it. He said, 'You keep on thinking that.' He drained off the whiskey in about three swallows and tapped the cork back in and tossed the bottle up in the air. He pulled his revolver and fired at it twice and missed. The bottle fell and rolled and Rooster shot at it two or three more times and broke it on the ground. He got out his sack of cartridges and reloaded his pistol. He said, 'The Chinaman is running them cheap shells in on me again.'

LaBoeuf said, 'I thought maybe the sun was in your eyes. That is to say, your eye.'

Rooster swung the cylinder back in his revolver and said, 'Eyes, is it? I'll show you eyes!' He jerked the sack of corn dodgers free from his saddle baggage. He got one of the dodgers out and flung it in the air and fired at it and missed. Then he flung another one up and he hit it. The corn dodger exploded. He was pleased with himself and he got a fresh bottle of whiskey from his baggage and treated himself to a drink.

LaBoeuf pulled one of his revolvers and got two dodgers out of the sack and tossed them both up. He fired very rapidly but he only hit one. Captain Finch tried it with two and missed both of them. Then he tried with one and made a successful shot. Rooster shot at two and hit one. They drank whiskey and used up ~ Charles Portis
Ned quotes by Charles Portis
Yet was a powerful word, Ned decided. Very powerful indeed. ~ Kelly Barnhill
Ned quotes by Kelly Barnhill
I want to see the writers strike because the writers, god bless them, are the only true commies we have in Hollywood. ~ Ned Beatty
Ned quotes by Ned Beatty
So why am I depressed? That's the million-dollar question, baby, the Tootsie Roll question; not even the owl knows the answer to that one. I don't know either. All I know is the chronology. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
The hardest of all the arts to speak of is music, because music has no meaning to speak of. ~ Ned Rorem
Ned quotes by Ned Rorem
You can know someone all your life, like your parents or family, but I'll tell you this, Ned. There's an expression on their face, or a tone in their voice, or a way they walk, that you've never ever seen before.
Like they've kept it hidden. Until their brother dies. Or their son. I remember those days and they were like these strangers and I wanted to say, Who are you people? ~ Melina Marchetta
Ned quotes by Melina Marchetta
It always impresses me when a person of small stature has command. ~ Ned Beatty
Ned quotes by Ned Beatty
When we got together we would start projects: an alarm clock torn apart and distributed over a wall, a stop-motion video of Lego people having sex, a Web site for pictures of toilets. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
The same piece of music alters at each hearing. But oh, the need to repeat and repeat and repeat unchanged the sexual experience. ~ Ned Rorem
Ned quotes by Ned Rorem
Let's have some precision in language here: terrorism means deadly violence -- for a political and/or economical purpose -- carried out against people and other living things, and is usually conducted by governments against their own citizens (as at Kent State, or in Vietnam, or in Poland, or in most of Latin America right now), or by corporate entities such as J. Paul Getty, Exxon, Mobil Oil, etc etc., against the land and all creatures that depend upon the land for life and livelihood. A bulldozer ripping up a hillside to strip mine for coal is committing terrorism; the damnation of a flowing river followed by the drowning of Cherokee graves, of forest and farmland, is an act of terrorism.
Sabotage, on the other hand, means the use of force against inanimate property, such as machinery, which is being used (e.g.) to deprive human beings of their rightful work (as in the case of Ned Ludd and his mates); sabotage (le sabot dropped in a spinning jenny) -- for whatever purpose -- has never meant and has never implied the use of violence against living creatures. ~ Edward Abbey
Ned quotes by Edward Abbey
And to think," Ned said huskily, "only this afternoon I thought I'd lost you to another guy. ~ Carolyn Keene
Ned quotes by Carolyn Keene
The beautiful are shyer than the ugly, for they move in a world that does not ask for beauty. ~ Ned Rorem
Ned quotes by Ned Rorem
My arms sometimes move on their own in big flapping motions, as if I might take off, and my hands spin like a hummingbird's wings. ~ Ned Hayes
Ned quotes by Ned Hayes
Classic means standard as opposed to Romantic: form before meaning as opposed to meaning before form. It grows from inside out, while Romantic grows from outside in. ~ Ned Rorem
Ned quotes by Ned Rorem
I was still looking at the floor of the forest, and I was seeing again the pattern of the leaves moving across the light in the sky, and across my skin. ~ Ned Hayes
Ned quotes by Ned Hayes
You couldn't truly love anything if you didn't hate at least something. Indeed, perhaps you couldn't truly love anything if you didn't hate almost everything. ~ Ned Beauman
Ned quotes by Ned Beauman
Look at these oafs, Ned. My wife insisted I take these two to squire for me, and they're worse than useless. Can't even put a man's armor on him properly. Squires, they say. I say they're swineherds dressed up in silk." Ned only needed a glance to understand the difficulty. "The boys are not at fault," he told the king. "You're too fat for your armor, Robert. ~ George R R Martin
Ned quotes by George R R Martin
So now live for real, Craig. Live. Live. Live. Live. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
Up next is Noelle.
'Hey, girl!'
'Don't you dare start calling me that. This is very nice of you to do. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
Cherokee's American, Ned. It don't get more American than that. ~ Loren D. Estleman
Ned quotes by Loren D. Estleman
Who hasn't thought about killing themselves, as a kid? How can you grow up in this world and not think about it? It's an option taken by a lot of successful people: Ernest Hemingway, Socrates, Jesus. Even before high school, I thought that it would be a cool thing to do if I ever got really famous. If I kept making my maps, for instance, and some art collector came across them and decided to make them worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, if I killed myself at the height of that, they'd be worth millions of dollars, and I wouldn't be responsible for them anymore. I'd have left behind something that spoke for itself. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
A doctor comes into 22. She has long, dark hair and a pudgy face and bright green eyes. "Hey." "I'm Dr. Data." "Dr. Data?" "Yes." Huh. I want to ask her if she's an android, but that wouldn't be very respectful; and besides, I'm not up to it. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
No matter how far back Ned searched in the brittle yellowed pages, always he found the gold yielding before the coal. ~ George R R Martin
Ned quotes by George R R Martin
If asked to list my ten favorite American fiction writers, Gail Godwin would be among them. In this, her latest ... she evokes in a short book the long married life of two artists. Evenings at Five is a strong tale of love-after-death. ~ Ned Rorem
Ned quotes by Ned Rorem
No," mom says, looking at me in the eyes. "What's a triumph is that you woke up this morning and decided to LIVE. THAT'S a triumph. that's what you did today. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
It's not evil that's ruining the earth, but mediocrity. The crime is not that Nero played while Rome burned, but that he played badly. ~ Ned Rorem
Ned quotes by Ned Rorem
At forty feet, the sky is entirely black, but now starlight bleeds faintly down into the forest from between rushing gray clouds. ~ Ned Hayes
Ned quotes by Ned Hayes
How can you live without stars? What keeps you from thinking about yourself all the time? ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
Love is the sweetest, dearest Ned, but it cannot change a man's nature. ~ George R R Martin
Ned quotes by George R R Martin
I just want to not be me. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
I believe that God's glory comes to us through many things, through almost everything, because matter itself is a thin veil over God's rich glory spilling through, like light through every crack. ~ Ned Hayes
Ned quotes by Ned Hayes
They take away your options and all you can do is live, and it's just like Humble said: I'm not afraid of dying; I'm afraid of living. I was afraid before, but I'm afraid even more now that I'm a public joke. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
I have made more mistakes than you can possibly imagine," Ned said, "but that was not one of them. ~ George R R Martin
Ned quotes by George R R Martin
I'm waiting for her to say "Craig, what you need to do is X" and for the Shift to occur. I want there to be a Shift so bad. I want to feel my brain slide back into the slot it was meant to be in, rest there the way it did before the fall of last year, back when I was young, and witty, and my teachers said I had incredible promise, and I had incredible promise, and I spoke up in class because I was excited and smart about the world. I want the Shift so bad. I'm waiting for the phrase that will invoke it. It'll be like a miracle within my life. But is Dr. Minerva a miracle worker? No. She's a thin, tan lady from Greece with red lipstick. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
Something deep in my guts, below my heart, has made a shift to the left and settled in a more comfortable place. It's not the Shift, but it's a shift. I picture Nia with her gorgeous face and little body and black hair and pouty lips and Aaron's hands all over her but also with her pot smoking and the pimples on her forehead and making fun of people all the time and the way she's always so proud of how she's dressed. And I picture her fading. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
No, don't, don't cut my hair, Ned loves my hair. ~ George R R Martin
Ned quotes by George R R Martin
Some secrets are safer kept hidden. Some secrets are too dangerous to share with those you love and Trust
Ned Stark ~ George R R Martin
Ned quotes by George R R Martin
See, when you mess something up, you learn for the next time. It's when people compliment you that you're in trouble. That means they expect you to keep it up. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
They're sort of ancillary anyway, friends. I mean, they're important - everybody knows that; the TV tells you so - but they come and go. You lose one friend, you pick up another. All you have to do is talk to people, and this was back when I could talk to anybody. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
I didn't want to be part of some trend. I wasn't doing this for a fashion statement ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
Ned: I figured it was time for a picnic by the menagerie.
Jenny: And you brought me? Why not take the woman you're marrying?
Ned: She's grown up with the Duke of Ware. Lions seem less ferocious. ~ Courtney Milan
Ned quotes by Courtney Milan
Inspiration could be called inhaling the memory of an act never experienced. ~ Ned Rorem
Ned quotes by Ned Rorem
You deserve them because you chose them. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
A person's relationship with food is one of their most important relationships. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
Nia, it wasn't about you." "Are you sure?" I look down, and the answer is right there in my chest and it's resounding. "Yes. I have bigger problems than you. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
The Great don't innovate, they fertilize seeds planted by lackeys, they leave to others the inhaling of the flowers whose roots they've manured. A deceptive memory may be the key to their originality. ~ Ned Rorem
Ned quotes by Ned Rorem
What he hates about whisky hangovers, he thinks now, is the synthesis they achieve between the spiritual and the gastric, as if your soul needs to throw up or your stomach has realised life is meaningless. ~ Ned Beauman
Ned quotes by Ned Beauman
'Game of Thrones' cares about children. Children are heirs. There's no hemming and hawing about how they're desensitized to violence or they cost too much to send to college. They're a blessing - in many ways the only blessing - and even the evil ones have parents who love them. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
Jimmy may have only a few sentences in his repertoire, but he knows to keep going when pretty girls pay attention to him. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
Life's not about feeling better, it's about getting the job done. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
My brother,' Mortin says as Leidan shuffles away. 'So much potential, wasted.' He takes a swig of beer. I wonder whose potential he really thinks is wasted. I look through his upturned drink at the walls and ceiling. Things look sadder when glimpsed through alcohol. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
Under the sanctuary are the catacombs where the dead wait for resurrection. The living do not venture there. The caverns here underneath the Sanctuary are illuminated only by dim shafts of light from the sanctuary. The walls are etched with flowers of frost, but at least I am out of the wind. Dark bays line the hall in front of me, a vast rabbit warren, each hold filled to the brim with the scent of the past. ~ Ned Hayes
Ned quotes by Ned Hayes
So far as musical pedagogy is concerned -
And by extension of musical creation -
Nadia Boulanger is the most influential person who ever lived ~ Ned Rorem
Ned quotes by Ned Rorem
I do not wish to give the order full force without giving timely warning but I am a widow's son outlawed and must be obeyed. ~ Ned Kelly
Ned quotes by Ned Kelly
Quarrels in France strengthen a love affair, in America they end it. ~ Ned Rorem
Ned quotes by Ned Rorem
The light filtered through the trees, rays of sunlight splitting around the vast trunks, the branches above us fluttering in a faint wind, and the green needles of Douglas Firs shimmering silver underneath in the breeze. ~ Ned Hayes
Ned quotes by Ned Hayes
Most of us assume we are seeing the world the way it really is. ~ Ned Herrmann
Ned quotes by Ned Herrmann
If there is a next life, I hope it's in the past; I don't think the future will be any more handleable.
I think it's a little harsh how the END button is red. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
I do not pretend that I have led a blameless life, or that one fault justifies another, but the public in judging a case like mine should remember that the darkest life may now have a bright side ~ Ned Kelly
Ned quotes by Ned Kelly
Do you even know who the enemy is?" "I think ... it's me". ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
Loeser's favourite book in Blimk's shop, where he spent most of his afternoons, was still Dames! And how to Lay them. He referred to it constantly, like a psalter, with an inexhaustible excitement at the notion that it was possible to seduce a woman just by following a rigorous system of instructions. The problem was, there wasn't much in it that he felt he could put to practical use. 'Want to impress a dame with morning after the night before? Run to the kitchen while she's still snoozing fit to bust, and come back with what I like to call the Egg Majestique. That's one of every type of egg on a tray: a soft-boiled egg, a hard-boiled egg, an egg over easy, an egg sunny side up, a poached egg, a devilled egg, a pickled egg, a coddled egg, a scrambled egg, a one-egg omelette, and a shot of egg nog for the hangover. No dame will be able to believe you know so many ways to cook eggs. Egg protein is good for the manly function, and after you've pulled off the Egg Majestique, you'll probably need it, if you know what I mean.' This sounded pretty authoritative to Loeser but he just wasn't quite sure. ~ Ned Beauman
Ned quotes by Ned Beauman
Intelligence is silence, truth is being invisible. But what a racket I make in declaring this. ~ Ned Rorem
Ned quotes by Ned Rorem
Where are you supposed to put your arms when you dance? It's like the Universal Question. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
After much deliberation and research, we have defi ned employee engagement as: The degree to which a person commits to an organization and the impact that commitment has on how profoundly they perform and their length of tenure . It is important to note that engagement is not an on/off switch. It is a continuum, and we will have employees who fall in various places on the continuum. The key to engagement is to move employees further along that continuum over time, as seen in Figure 1.7 . ~ Anonymous
Ned quotes by Anonymous
Up through and including Lincoln, American politicians nursed a fantasy of repatriating blacks to Africa. ~ Ned Sublette
Ned quotes by Ned Sublette
Deep down I believe my year was a special year: it produced me. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
Summer's Coming"

"I wish we had acted sooner."

"The struggle for a sustainable future is not just a battle between people and ideologies, it is the struggle in our hearts and minds that is revealed in the choices we make every day. ~ Ned Tillman
Ned quotes by Ned Tillman
A working brain is probably a lot like a map, where anybody can get from one place to another on the freeways. It's the nonworking brains that get blocked, that have dead ends, that are under construction like mine. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
When you're turning the crankset, you're riding the bike. When you're coasting, you're just along for the ride. ~ Ned Overend
Ned quotes by Ned Overend
What does it do?" said Loeser.
"You feel as if you're being sucked down this fathomless, gloomy tunnel. Or to put it another way, it's as if all the different weights and cares of the world have been lifted from your shoulders to he replaced by a single, much larger sort of consolidated weight. Your limbs stop working and you can't really talk. If you take enough then it can last for hours and hours, but it seems like even longer because time slows down." Hildkraut smiled wistfully. "It's fantastic." At their feet, somebody groaned softly as if in enthusiastic assent. "And it makes Wagner sound really good. ~ Ned Beauman
Ned quotes by Ned Beauman
I can smell the sex on her. I hope she smells the love on me. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
I'm done with those; regrets are an excuse for people who have failed. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
You all right, man?'
This should be my name. I could be like a super hero: You All Right Man.
Ah ... ' I stumble.
Don't bug Craig,' Ronny is like. 'He's in the Craig zone. He's Craig-ing out. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
I'm not doing well in terms of being a functional human. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
Ah well, I suppose it has come to this ... Such is life! ~ Ned Kelly
Ned quotes by Ned Kelly
Trees do not require you to make certain sounds to be understood. They are simply present and ready for you to climb at any time. Trees are easier. ~ Ned Hayes
Ned quotes by Ned Hayes
The good, the bad, the virgin, and the harlot: no one is spared, all go rose-spattered with plague lesions. I see no sense, no judgment before doom strikes. Death takes us all with the black malady or the sweating sickness, or the white blindness or the winter croup, or the crops failing or bitter water in our mouths. ~ Ned Hayes
Ned quotes by Ned Hayes
"It's an old habit of mine, Wal'r," said the Captain, "any time these fifty year. When you see Ned Cuttle bite his nails, Wal'r, then you may know that Ned Cuttle's aground." ~ Charles Dickens
Ned quotes by Charles Dickens
Life is not cured, Mr. Gilner." Dr. Mahmoud leans in. "Life is managed. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
I wasn't gifted. Mom was wrong. I was just smart and I worked hard. I had fooled myself into thinking that was something important to the rest of the world. Other people were complicit in this ruse. Nobody had told me I was common. ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
Do you know about lock picking?"
"I'm sure it's like sex."
"I'm sure it's not like sex."
"How would you know? Everything's like sex. It's the universal metaphor. To pick a lock, let me guess, you have to go slow at first, but then you have to pull off some fancy moves, and you have to stay concentrated, and you have to stick something in something, right? ~ Ned Vizzini
Ned quotes by Ned Vizzini
Until I was 16, I read nothing but science fiction. I loved William Gibson and I still do. But my favourite book when I was growing up, for a long time, was 'Snow Crash' by Neal Stephenson, which I must have read about a dozen times when I was a teenager. ~ Ned Beauman
Ned quotes by Ned Beauman
I'm very finicky about when I'm in the right mood to write. So most days, I find some excuse not to do anything. ~ Ned Beauman
