What we can see depends heavily on what our culture has trained us to look for. ~ Nell Irvin Painter
Nell quotes by Nell Irvin Painter
You'll beat this. I know it doesn't feel like it, but you will. You're a survivor."
"I don't want to survive it."
"I know that, too," Nell had said. "And it's fair enough. But sometimes we don't have a choice ... ~ Kate Morton
Nell quotes by Kate Morton
They'd fallen into an easy routine, the three of them. Breakfast together in the morning, then Hughie would leave for work and she and Nell would get started in the house. Lil found she liked having a second shadow, enjoyed showing Nell things, explaining how they worked and why. Nell was a big one for asking why-why did the sun hide at night, why didn't the fire flames leap out of the gate, why didn't the river get bored and run the other way?-and Lil loved supplying answers, watching as understanding dawned on Nell's little face. For the first time in her life, Lil felt useful, needed, whole. ~ Kate Morton
Nell quotes by Kate Morton
And the black box in her arms whimpered itself to sleep with longing to be a normal person who is chosen, not a special person who is discovered. To be the kind of duck who gets included by wild swans ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
Dear, gentle, patient, noble Nell . . . . ~ Charles Dickens
Nell quotes by Charles Dickens
It wasn't supposed to. It was just supposed to stop you from hurting yourself." "It helps - " "No it doesn't. It just pushes it away temporarily. Just like the booze." "But I need - " "You need to let yourself feel. Feel it, own it. Then move on." "You make it sound so easy." Bitterness drips from each syllable. "It's not. It's the fucking hardest thing a person can do." I smooth a damp strand out of her face and away from my mouth. "It's the hardest fucking thing. It's why we drink and do drugs and fight. It's why I play music and build engines. ~ Jasinda Wilder
Nell quotes by Jasinda Wilder
Nell, I hate to be the one to have to tell you this. But your brother is hot. Like smokin' hot. Honestly, it's kind of impossible to have a vagina and not look." She ~ Kylie Scott
Nell quotes by Kylie Scott
If I can teach myself the art of loneliness, then perhaps the art of writing will come more easily to me. ~ Nell Stevens
Nell quotes by Nell Stevens
Science is a truth that is true no matter what, no matter when and for all time and science as the kind of gospel truth replaces the gospel, which was religion. ~ Nell Irvin Painter
Nell quotes by Nell Irvin Painter
Rich is not better. ~ Nell Carter
Nell quotes by Nell Carter
I'd say it's never a challenge to present white and heteronormative privilege. The hard thing is to write any other way. ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
It's a digital e-cigarette." "What's digital about it?" "You hold it in your fingers, like this." "I'm serious. Is it part of the Internet of things? Do they know when you're smoking it?" "I don't think so. I think they just mean it works on electricity. ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
In my old age, I was at last being permitted to make the discovery that lovemaking gets better and better with time, if it's with someone you care for. ~ Patricia Nell Warren
Nell quotes by Patricia Nell Warren
Nell had to reconstruct them, learning the language, which was extremely pithy and made heavy use of parentheses. Along the way, she proved what was a foregone conclusion, namely, that the system for processing this language was essentially a more complex version of the mechanical organ, hence a Turing machine in essence. ~ Neal Stephenson
Nell quotes by Neal Stephenson
You done a number on him, Colt. He needs a doctor, or he ain't gonna make it." "He tried to rape her, Split. Then he punched her." "To be fair," Nell puts in, "he only punched me after I put a knife to his throat." Split coughs a laugh. "You what? Girl, you crazy. ~ Jasinda Wilder
Nell quotes by Jasinda Wilder
It was a garden, a walled garden. Overgrown but with beautiful bones visible still. Someone had cared for this garden once. The remains of two paths snaked back and forth, intertwined like the lacing on an Irish dancing shoe. Fruit trees had been espaliered around the sides, and wires zigzagged from the top of one wall to the top of another. Hungry, wisteria branches had woven themselves around to form a sort of canopy.
Against the southern wall, an ancient and knobbled tree was growing. Cassandra went closer. It was the apple tree, she realized, the one whose bough had reached over the wall. She lifted her hand to touch one of the golden fruit. The tree was about sixteen feet high and shaped like the Japanese bonsai plant Nell had given Cassandra for her twelfth birthday. ~ Kate Morton
Nell quotes by Kate Morton
It wasn't the degree that counted but what you did with it; he believed that too many Americans wasted time and money on college simply for the sake of a fancy piece of paper. ~ Nell Freudenberger
Nell quotes by Nell Freudenberger
Research for fiction is a funny thing: you go looking for one piece of information, and find something altogether different. ~ Nell Freudenberger
Nell quotes by Nell Freudenberger
Emerson was not passionate about abolition. He wasn't a passionate person. He was a cool intellectual, and I think he probably was a little uncomfortable with passionate people, but he was against slavery. ~ Nell Irvin Painter
Nell quotes by Nell Irvin Painter
Nell and Fen had chased away my thoughts of suicide. But what had they left me with? Fierce desires, a great tide of feeling of which I could make little sense, an ache that seemed to have no name but want. I want. Intransitive. No object. It was the opposite of wanting to die. But it was scarcely more bearable. ~ Lily King
Nell quotes by Lily King
I stood transfixed, the silence ringing in my ears. From the field of wild grasses; cocksfoot, tufted hair, wild oat, tall fescue, reed canary and perennial rye, their subtle shades of green, ochre and pink softly patching and blending in rustling movement, suddenly rose a small flock of starlings that had been feeding quietly unseen among the tall waving stems, the swish of their glossy wings startlingly loud in the stillness of midday. Heat held me captive. ~ Nell Grey
Nell quotes by Nell Grey
In the end, what affects your life most deeply are things too simple to talk about. ~ Nell Blaine
Nell quotes by Nell Blaine
How many more times would I have embraced him that night, how many more times would I have kissed him, if I had known the name of that stranger lover who was already in Montreal, who had already bought his stadium ticket from a scalper for the 5,000 tomorrow.
That implacable lover who was going to turn Billy's eyes away from me forever. ~ Patricia Nell Warren
Nell quotes by Patricia Nell Warren
Case in point: Byrdie, the son growing effortlessly into lifelong boyhood. Still a schoolboy, soon to be an old boy, blithely accepting accidents as privileges - for instance, his natural immunity to HIV. (Byrdie liked studious, upper-class females. They were not exactly high risk.) Byrdie was the phoenix edition of Lee, adapted to the novel environment, and Lee was a useless relic. He had positioned himself all his life as a rebel against a hegemonic order no one was interested in questioning anymore. It had lost its power to crush and all its clumsy weapons that inspired active fear. Its dominance was equal, but separate. ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
Adopting big-business practices is one thing, and adopting agribusiness practices that would dilute the meaning of 'organic' is another. On the whole, I think we're doing a pretty good job of preserving the integrity of organic foods. ~ Nell Newman
Nell quotes by Nell Newman
In places like Germany or France the idea of black-white is not so much black-white but "our people and them," and "them" can be people from the near east like Turks or Muslims or North Africans, all of whom might well be considered white in the United States. ~ Nell Irvin Painter
Nell quotes by Nell Irvin Painter
I believe in the protection of the environment that supports us all. ~ Nell Newman
Nell quotes by Nell Newman
Mrs. Rahman. It was impossible to know whether Mokta ~ Nell Freudenberger
Nell quotes by Nell Freudenberger
There was no circumcision. Lee said circumcision was dreamed up by moralists and lotion salesmen to make hand jobs chafe, and Peggy deferred to his better judgement. ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
If her father was Thunder, then George was Smoke - and how could you argue with someone who began to disappear as soon as you opened your mouth? ~ Nell Freudenberger
Nell quotes by Nell Freudenberger
If you knew your ending, how would you live your beginning? ~ J. Nell Brown
Nell quotes by J. Nell Brown
If everyone else in the room is working on their next pitch, then fixating on the previous one puts you a step behind. This approach also applies to an overall career where it's better to focus on the next opportunity rather than ruminate on the missed chances and setbacks. ~ Nell Scovell
Nell quotes by Nell Scovell
Gwen smiled and asked hopefully, "Is there coffee again this morning?"
Silvan put his book down and glanced absently at Gwen. His gaze dropped to her cleavage, and a single white brow shot up. He blinked several times.
"There certainly is," Nell said, circling the table.
She stopped behind Gwen and draped a linen cloth over her shoulders, so it tumbled from her neck like a bib.
"Peel yer eyes off the lass's breasts," Nell said sweetly to Silvan.

Gwen turned twenty shades of red, sneaked a hand beneath the bib, and tugged at her bodice, trying to jiggle them back down a little. Mortified, she devoted her attention to eyeing the medieval dining ware-plates and goblets made of heavy silver, a fat spoon and broad knife, and heavy blue bowls.

"She's the one who fluffed them up," Silvan protested indignantly. "I didn't mean to look, but they were ... so ... there. Like trying not to see the sun in the sky."
Nell arched a brow and circled round the table again.
"I hardly think 'twas ye she fluffed 'em for, was it lass?" Gwen glanced up and gave an embarrassed shake of her head. ~ Karen Marie Moning
Nell quotes by Karen Marie Moning
Love is when you fry the other person's bacon even if you're a vegetarian. ~ Patricia Nell Warren
Nell quotes by Patricia Nell Warren
My niche will be to support the environment through the growth of organic agriculture. ~ Nell Newman
Nell quotes by Nell Newman
Once again she had the disorientating feeling that her past was still happening, unfolding in a parallel stream right alongside her present. ~ Nell Freudenberger
Nell quotes by Nell Freudenberger
I did a couple of movies when I was little. You have to be possessed to be an actress, and I was not possessed ... It was not my life's passion. ~ Nell Newman
Nell quotes by Nell Newman
Charlie Rose is too much of a ladies' man for my liking. He thinks a lot of himself with his bluer-than-blue eyes and charming smile. I'm sure in his day he's enchanted more women than we have horses."
Nell gave the mare a quick hug and kissed her neck. "Sorry again, Georgia." With a lighthearted chuckle, she stepped through the gate.
And came face-to-face with Charlie. ~ Caroline Fyffe
Nell quotes by Caroline Fyffe
Peggy had not forgotten the intellectual and social ambitions she had started life with only a decade before. Years so weary and routine laden, they seemed like a single year that had repeated itself. She wanted to be creative and self-reliant. ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
I have money, fame, a happy wife, our daughter Nell. ~ Robert M. Pirsig
Nell quotes by Robert M. Pirsig
You're a cis-het dude-bro on strike for better conditions. ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
It's dark because you're trying too hard," said Susila. "Dark because you want it to be light. Remember what you used to tell me when I was a little girl. 'Lightly, child, lightly. You've got to learn to do everything lightly. Think lightly, act lightly, feel lightly. Yes, feel lightly, even though you're feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.' I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig. Lightly, lightly - it was the best advice ever given me. Well, now I'm going to say the same thing to you, Lakshmi . . . Lightly, my darling, lightly. Even when it comes to dying. Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic. No rhetoric, no tremolos, no self-conscious persona putting on its celebrated imitation of Christ or Goethe or Little Nell. And, of course, no theology, no metaphysics. Just the fact of dying and the fact of the Clear Light. So throw away all your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That's why you must walk so lightly. Lightly, my darling. On tiptoes; and no luggage, not even a sponge bag. Completely unencumbered. ~ Aldous Huxley
Nell quotes by Aldous Huxley
I think about him all the time,' Honey whispered, taking a second drink and then passing the bottle to Nell. 'Everything reminds me of him. He's everything I'd say I don't want in a man, and yet I love him so much that I feel as if someone has scooped my heart out and put it back in the wrong way round,' she said, her little girl lost voice echoing around the quiet lobby. 'It hurts, right here.' She put her hand over her heart, and leaned her head on Tash's shoulder. 'In fact, it hurts everywhere. I ache so much that my bones feel too heavy to get out of the bed in the morning. ~ Kat French
Nell quotes by Kat French
Before science, before the eighteenth century, religion answered the questions, and so in the nineteenth century for instance there was a real jostling between science and religion over the truth and this is why Darwin was so controversial. ~ Nell Irvin Painter
Nell quotes by Nell Irvin Painter
I can't listen to music when I'm writing. I like music best in a car or on the train. ~ Nell Freudenberger
Nell quotes by Nell Freudenberger
So many men, so little parking. ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
I always sought out organic produce because to me it always tasted better; the quality was better - if you got it fresh. ~ Nell Newman
Nell quotes by Nell Newman
Love is love, Nell, in whatever form or shape it comes and those of us who have found it must not let anything get in the way. ~ Jane Green
Nell quotes by Jane Green
In America you make your plans and then they happen. ~ Nell Freudenberger
Nell quotes by Nell Freudenberger
What we should see is that there is none among us with nothing to give, and that giving is our purpose. ~ Nell Gavin
Nell quotes by Nell Gavin
Listening to your son after you've spent time with a girl will make you wonder when he became Jodie Foster in Nell. ~ Laurie Kilmartin
Nell quotes by Laurie Kilmartin
When the past is hard to explain, it's best to concentrate on the future. ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
His smile faded a little, growing softer, more intimate, like the look he'd showed her in bed this morning. 'You haven't learned yet when to lie.' Slowly, as if the words were being dragged from him, he added: 'I confess, Nell, I hope you never learn.' She found herself staring at him. Unsteadying thought: there was something hot in his eyes that wasn't purely want. It was too tender, too ... affectionate. ~ Meredith Duran
Nell quotes by Meredith Duran
Years later, when they were killed in a car crash on the Farm to Market Road, and the Nell-that-never-lived died with them, Olena, numbly rearranging the letters of her own name on the envelopes of the sympathy cards she received, discovered what the letters spelled: Olena; Alone. ~ Lorrie Moore
Nell quotes by Lorrie Moore
Books are all the dreams we would most like to have and like dreams they have the power to change consciousness. ~ Victor Nell
Nell quotes by Victor Nell
I'm not just falling in love with you, Nell. I'm falling into you. You're an ocean, and I'm falling in, drowning in the depths of who you are. Like you said, it's scary in a way, but it's also the most amazing thing I've ever experienced. You are the most amazing thing I've ever experienced. ~ Jasinda Wilder
Nell quotes by Jasinda Wilder
NELL. Because that's what an employer is going to have doubts about with a lady as I needn't tell you, whether she's got the guts to push through to a closing situation. They think we're too nice. They think we listen to the buyer's doubts. They think we consider his needs and his feelings. ~ Caryl Churchill
Nell quotes by Caryl Churchill
Drink to me! I just realized that I've slept with everyone at this table! ~Nell ~ Jennifer Crusie
Nell quotes by Jennifer Crusie
So the years passed and everyone grew old and Nell's husband died and Hilda grew to be a large, angry sort of woman very high up in local government. When Nell was eighty-four Hilda retired and they went to live at a sea-side place where Hilda had had meaningful holidays during the menopause with a woman called Audrey, now dead. ~ Jane Gardam
Nell quotes by Jane Gardam
It's so gratifying to see people face to face who get to meet the people who are giving them a fair price for their work. They can now provide medical support for their kids, give them better education and in general have a better standard of living. God knows they deserve it. ~ Nell Newman
Nell quotes by Nell Newman
Twee," the wallcreeper remarked. "Twee! ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
I know I could make a difference by supporting the right causes. ~ Nell Newman
Nell quotes by Nell Newman
Nell was not one for friends and had never hidden her distaste for most other humans, their neurotic compulsion for the acquisition of allies. ~ Kate Morton
Nell quotes by Kate Morton
She was young the way an actual young person is young. ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
I should have seen it coming." The words don't surprise me, but they piss me off. I pull away and glare down at her. "Don't you fucking dare, Nell Hawthorne. Don't you dare put this on yourself. You should never have to see shit like this coming." She backs away, stunned and afraid by the intensity I know is radiating off me. "Colton, I just meant he's always shown - " "Stop. Just stop right there. Granted, you should've never gotten involved with a douchetard like him, but that's no excuse for what he did. ~ Jasinda Wilder
Nell quotes by Jasinda Wilder
The most seductive sin, I suppose, is passing judgment on others, and the next must be acting out of one's anger when one has the power to hurt the ones who wound us. ~ Nell Gavin
Nell quotes by Nell Gavin
What Molly wanted was for Nell to stay home and make certain that everything remained the same. Nell raised her wrist and stared at the bare spot on her arm where the bracelet had been. But nothing ever stayed the same. It couldn't. Change was the way of the world. They'd both changed inexorably the day Michael had died. Were changing again at this very moment as Molly went off into the world. And maybe, just maybe, part of that process for her daughter entailed adapting to some change in her mother's life as well. ~ Charlotte Rains Dixon
Nell quotes by Charlotte Rains Dixon
My dad hates doing PR, so I volunteered to do this for him. ~ Nell Newman
Nell quotes by Nell Newman
If ka is a train - and it is, a vast, hurtling mono, maybe sane, maybe not - then this nasty little lycanthrope is its most vulnerable hostage, not tied to the tracks like little Nell but strapped to the thing's very headlight. ~ Stephen King
Nell quotes by Stephen King
Fairy tales, as Nell had said, are always complicated. ~ Nancy Atherton
Nell quotes by Nancy Atherton
When I first found out I had diabetes I denied it. ~ Nell Carter
Nell quotes by Nell Carter
I want to know how good at life I can be in a place where there are no distractions. ~ Nell Stevens
Nell quotes by Nell Stevens
It was possible to be struck dumb by all sorts of emotions, not only surprise, and as they drove back toward Pittsford, Amina thought that there ought to be a whole set of words to encompass all those different varieties of silence. ~ Nell Freudenberger
Nell quotes by Nell Freudenberger
Cultivating a generous spirit starts with mindfulness. Mindfulness, simply stated, means paying attention to what is actually happening; it's about what is really going on. ~ Nell Newman
Nell quotes by Nell Newman
I was a weirdo to want to be in show business. Most kids wanted to be teachers or nurses. ~ Nell Carter
Nell quotes by Nell Carter
Whatever I was writing at the time, I knew there was no market for it and never would be, because there's never a market for true art, so my main concern was always to have a job that didn't require me to write or think. ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
The biggest problem was convincing my father that organic food was worth eating. All he could think of was the nut loaf with yeast gravy that my mother made in the Seventies. ~ Nell Newman
Nell quotes by Nell Newman
I grew up shopping from farm stands. Dad taught me how to smell a good cantaloupe and thump a watermelon for ripeness. ~ Nell Newman
Nell quotes by Nell Newman
My life felt so cluttered and obstructed that I could hardly breathe. I inhabited a closed, concentrated world, airless and without exits. ~ Nell Casey
Nell quotes by Nell Casey
Yahweh instructed, "Don't judge him. Pray for him. Don't criticize him. Honor him. Don't speak against him. Build him up with My Holy Word - the Bible. You were created to love him. Help him fulfill the purposes that I've destined him for. ~ J. Nell Brown
Nell quotes by J. Nell Brown
Would you believe Nell told me off for kissing Sienna in the corridor?"

Felix couldn't fight his own grin. "Way I heard it, you were doing more than kissing. Wasn't there a half-unbuttoned shirt involved?"

Hawke's bad-tempered grown reverberated through Felix's bones. "I can't wait to have ammunition against you. I hope Dezi pounces on you in public. ~ Nalini Singh
Nell quotes by Nalini Singh
From the passenger seat the wallcreeper said, "Twee. ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
One must have a heart of stone to read the death of little Nell without laughing. ~ Oscar Wilde
Nell quotes by Oscar Wilde
The American sense of the importance, the fundamental importance of the black-white dichotomy, comes out of societies founded in the era of the African slave trade, so societies like ours, that is to say the western hemisphere, the Caribbean and so forth, we share a lot in common. ~ Nell Irvin Painter
Nell quotes by Nell Irvin Painter
Over milk and cookies after Karen's return, she confessed to Karen that she had no idea what Karen wanted out of life. "You're a cipher," she said. "A mystery. What are your ambitions and desires? When I was your age, I wanted to write plays." "I want to get good grades and go to college." "And what are you going to do when you get there?" "How would I know? I need to get there first and see what it's like. There are all these majors that sound neat, but I don't know what they are. Like 'sociology.' What is it? ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
Organic' ... means that the work is an extension of your blood and body: it has the rhythm of nature. There exists a state of feeling that when you reach it, when you hit it, you can't go wrong. The work carries a body rhythm. You can't do the slick ... the gimmicky or dishonest. ~ Nell Blaine
Nell quotes by Nell Blaine
But you can't have Nell like you can have other girls. She says she's Southern but she's not on the Grid. She's a different type altogether. Trust me on that one. ~ Lily King
Nell quotes by Lily King
I appricated that Nell was talking to me like a grown-up, but I had no idea what she meant. Still, I could see that the words flowed together like water over a riverbed. ~ Silas House
Nell quotes by Silas House
You can't Nell. Just... hold my hand. I love you" - Kyle ~ Jasinda Wilder
Nell quotes by Jasinda Wilder
They should build a monument," Cary said. "All the times I got my ass beat to a pulp so the youth of today could get dolled up like faggots to go out in public. ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
Gradually her fear faded to the existential angst that incessantly haunts all mankind in modernity. ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
Can I have this dance?"
He held out his arms expectantly, waiting as she grappled with her feelings. She gazed up into his eyes. One heartbeat later she slipped into his arms and he pulled her close. Her palm against his was heady, sending all sorts of tingles coursing up and down her arm. His other hand, on the small of her back, kept her close. They were awkward at first, but kept at it. He hummed as they moved around in a circle, her skirt swishing against her legs and sometimes tangling between his. A slow burn started on her neck. When they finished he let her go and took a small step back.
"Charlie, I..."
"Stop talking, Nell."
His eyes closed and his lips covered hers. The kiss was gentle as he pulled her tighter against him, driving all thought from her mind. His hands moved down and bracketed her waist and he tilted his head, deepening the kiss. ~ Caroline Fyffe
Nell quotes by Caroline Fyffe
then decided maybe something was wrong with Sundays. He tried Saturday and saw about two thousand ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
What's an adventure? Nell said. The word was written across the page. Then both pages filled with moving pictures of glorious things: girls in armor fighting dragons with ~ Neal Stephenson
Nell quotes by Neal Stephenson
You thought that you were the permanent part of your own experience, the net that held it all together - until you discovered that there were many selves, dissolving into one another so quickly over time that the buildings and the trees and even the pavement turned out to have more substance than you did. ~ Nell Freudenberger
Nell quotes by Nell Freudenberger
Human beings are just way more complex than they'd like to be. They like to be simple machines. And they'll set up fantasy scenarios where they're simple machines, and get hurt and do things they regret. ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
Love don't make you bruise Nell. ~ LeeAnn Whitaker
Nell quotes by LeeAnn Whitaker
Hoo! You're like a giant mood ring! I wonder if I can make different colors show up depending on where i touch you
- Nell Harris ~ Katie MacAlister
Nell quotes by Katie MacAlister
He informed Byrdie that his social engineering ambitions betrayed all the delusions of grandeur that you might expect from the son of a poet. ~ Nell Zink
Nell quotes by Nell Zink
Sooner or later you end up making deals with women. It's an injustice, really. ~ Patricia Nell Warren
