'I think you ought to go to New York or Chicago or San Francisco or any city with character and vitality. You should go to work. This place is no good for you, Randy.

Pat Frank quotes by Pat Frank
[He was disgusted] at the beasts who in callous cruelty had dragged down and maimed and destroyed the human dignity of this selfless man. Yet it was nothing new. It had been like this at some point in every civilization and on every continent. There were human jackals for every human disaster. ~ Pat Frank
Pat Frank quotes by Pat Frank
When he reached the last hole he saw, far to the west, a series of rockets bloom in the sky. He watched their green and yellow and red petals arch across the horizon, and fade into the gloom of the earth. It was very beautiful, but he recognized them for Chinese rockets. ~ Pat Frank

Pat Frank quotes by Pat Frank
If Man retained faith in God, he might also retain faith in Man. ~ Pat Frank
Pat Frank quotes by Pat Frank
A man who has been shaken by a two-ton blockbuster has a frame of reference. He can equate the impact of an H-bomb with his own experience, even though the H-bomb blast is a million times more powerful than the shock he endured. To someone who has never felt a bomb, bomb is only a word. An H-bomb's fireball is something you see on television. It is not something that incinerates you to a cinder in the thousandth part of a second. So the H-bomb is beyond the imagination of all but a few Americans, while the British, Germans, and Japanese can comprehend it, if vaguely. And only the Japanese have personal understanding of atomic heat and radiation. ~ Pat Frank
Pat Frank quotes by Pat Frank
It was a surprise, and a delight, to see children devour books. Without ever knowing it, they were receiving an education. ~ Pat Frank
Pat Frank quotes by Pat Frank
His ears were attuned for the steady firing of Couzens' heavy machine guns, which he knew should now commence, and the thud of his carefully sited mortars, but he did not hear them and he realized, suddenly and sickeningly, that the Chinese had not attacked across the spit of land. They were pouring across the ice, and had taken Dog Company in the rear. ~ Pat Frank
Pat Frank quotes by Pat Frank
'Legs are for men's pleasure, breasts are for babies'.' - Lib McGovern ~ Pat Frank
Pat Frank quotes by Pat Frank
Vermeer's skill was in combining few colors, mixing little and using layers of lakes and varnishes to build up the illusion of life ~ Frank Wynne
Pat Frank quotes by Frank Wynne
Every child should have an occasional pat on the back as long as it is applied low enough and hard enough. ~ Fulton J. Sheen
Pat Frank quotes by Fulton J. Sheen
Losing tears along the seam of your own image of yourself. It is a mark of shame that causes internal injury, but no visible damage. ~ Pat Conroy
Pat Frank quotes by Pat Conroy
Life is a classroom. ~ Frank Sonnenberg
Pat Frank quotes by Frank Sonnenberg
I was suffocating even before we left the house, but no one bothered to ask me how I felt. ~ Anne Frank
Pat Frank quotes by Anne Frank
I wrote a piece for the school literary magazine that now makes me think: 'My God in Heaven, this is just the worst drivel.' ~ Pat Conroy
Pat Frank quotes by Pat Conroy
When we neglect the artist in ourselves, there is a kind of mourning that goes on under the surface of our busy lives. ~ Pat Schneider
Pat Frank quotes by Pat Schneider
The Baron could see the path ahead of him. One day, a Harkonnen would be Emperor. Not himself, and no spawn of his loins. But a Harkonnen. Not this Rabban he'd summoned, of course. But ~ Frank Herbert
Pat Frank quotes by Frank Herbert
I think as far as kids go, you just have to work hard. Work on your skills, keep focused. ~ Frank Lampard
Pat Frank quotes by Frank Lampard
Frank Martin is a rarity. Dexterous as a player, writer and singer, he is thoughtful and skilled in his approach and passionate in his delivery. He is a unique, first-class musical personality. ~ Tom Kimmel
Pat Frank quotes by Tom Kimmel
And those who pray for dew on the deserts edge; shall bring forth the deluge. ~ Frank Herbert
Pat Frank quotes by Frank Herbert
Small souls who seek power over others first destroy the faith those others might have in themselves. ~ Frank Herbert
Pat Frank quotes by Frank Herbert
The Democratic Party went far to the left, I think, and left some of us stranded on the beach, so we went to the Republican Party. ~ Pat Robertson
Pat Frank quotes by Pat Robertson
One of the girls devised a method of stamping envelopes which enabled her to work at a speed of between one hundred and one hundred and twenty envelopes per minute …. We do not know just what processes were followed in developing the method, as the girl studied it out and put it in operation while the writer was taking a vacation. ~ Frank B. Gilbreth Jr.
Pat Frank quotes by Frank B. Gilbreth Jr.
( ... ) the easiest to conquer were also more worthy of it, because women have better intuition than men for the love affinity. ~ Frank Harris
Pat Frank quotes by Frank Harris
Take the Kama Sutra. How many people died from the Kama Sutra as opposed to the Bible? Who wins? ~ Frank Zappa
Pat Frank quotes by Frank Zappa
Singers, like Frank Sinatra and myself, we interpret the songs that we like. Not unlike a Shakespearean actor that goes back to the greatest words ever written, we go back to the greatest songs and bring about my interpretation of them. ~ Harry Connick, Jr.
Pat Frank quotes by Harry Connick, Jr.
On immigration policy, I believe we ought to call an immediate halt, stop illegal immigration and reduce legal immigration back to about 250,000 to 300,000, to more easily assimilate the Americans who've come here in the last 30 years. ~ Pat Buchanan
Pat Frank quotes by Pat Buchanan
Oh, but my treasure, it is so much less exhausting. You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day. You have to keep remembering all the bad things. - as Frank Roennfeldt ~ M.L. Stedman
Pat Frank quotes by M.L. Stedman
By nature he is more closed-up than I am, I agree, but I know - and from my own experience - that at some time or other even the most uncommunicative people long just as much, if not more, to find someone whom they can confide in. ~ Anne Frank
Pat Frank quotes by Anne Frank
Tonight, I'm certainly going to tell you a story, but 'tis a story with a difference because, unlike virtually every other tale I tell-in this case, I was there. And yet I know that although I was there, and I saw people who were real, they have since become somewhat imagined-because I now view them through my memory. That's something every human being does-but storytellers live by it. ~ Frank Delaney
Pat Frank quotes by Frank Delaney
Let the inquiring Christian trample under foot every slippery trick of his deceitful heart and insist upon frank and open relations with the Lord. ~ A.W. Tozer
Pat Frank quotes by A.W. Tozer
He needs to be talked to."
"This is funny, but I know how to talk, too."
Brian swore under his breath. "He prefers singing."
"Excuse me?"
"I said,he prefers singing."
"Oh." Keeley tucked her tongue in her cheek. "Any particular tune? Wait, let me guess. Finnegan's Wake?" Brian's steely-eyed stare had her laughing until she had to lean weakly against the gelding.The horse responded by twisting his head and trying to sniff her pockets for apples.
"It's a quick tune," Brian said coolly, "and he likes hearing his name."
"I know the chorus." Gamely Keeley struggled to swallow another giggle. "But I'm not sure I know all the words.There are several verses as I recall."
"Do the best you can," he muttered and strode off.His lips twitched as he heard her launch into the song about the Dubliner who had a tippling way.
When he reached Betty's box, he shook his head. "I should've known. If there's not a Grant one place, there's a Grant in another until you're tripping over them."
Travis gave Betty a last pat on the shoulder. "Is that Keeley I hear singing?"
"She's being sarcastic, but as long as the job's done. She's dug in her heels about grooming Finnegan."
"She comes by it naturally.The hard head as well as the skill."
"Never had so many owners breathing down my neck.We don't need them, do we, darling?" Brian laid his hands on Beetty's cheek, and she shook her head, then nibbled his hair.
"Damn horse has a crush on ~ Nora Roberts
Pat Frank quotes by Nora Roberts
Zinnia always wants to hug me and pat me because she has a boy my same age named Melvin. I said maybe some day Melvin could come play at our farm, and I could bring him to the maze and show him the shortcuts. Zinnia started crying. That's when I seen that she has freckles. ~ Wally Lamb
Pat Frank quotes by Wally Lamb
Bolkenstein, a Minister, was speaking on the Dutch programme from London, and he said that they ought to make a collection of diaries and letters after the war. Of course, they all made a rush at my diary immediately. Just imagine how interesting it would be if I were to publish a romance of the "Secret Annexe." The title alone would be enough to make people think it was a detective story. ~ Anne Frank
Pat Frank quotes by Anne Frank
Something in me that was broken, cracked - becomes whole. The cracks, if I write them with utter honesty, are where "the light gets in." The present meets the past, and healing begins. ~ Pat Schneider
Pat Frank quotes by Pat Schneider
Jud threw down the turfs he had brought in. "If you learned her to hold 'er tongue," he said pettishly to his wife, "'twould be a sight betterer than learning 'er that. If you learned 'er manners, how to speak respectable to folk and answer respectable an' be respectable to her elders an' betters, 'twould be a sight betterer than that. Then ye could pat yourself on the 'ead and say, 'Thur, I'm doing a tidy job, learning her to be respectable.' But what are 'ee doing? Tedn't 'ard to answer. Tedn't 'ard to see. You're learning her to be sassy. ~ Winston Graham
Pat Frank quotes by Winston Graham
How do you separate a tiger's beauty from its ferocity? Or a cheetah's elegance from the speed of its attack? Achilles was like that -- the beauty and the terror were two sides of a single coin. ~ Pat Barker
Pat Frank quotes by Pat Barker
Frank [Zappa] was not a big fan of having lyrics, but sometimes he had things to say that lent themselves to lyrics. ~ Gail Zappa
Pat Frank quotes by Gail Zappa
As he drove away from his handiwork, knowing he'd left no survivors, the killer looked at the rising smoke and gave himself a pat on the back for another assignment well done ... ~ Peprah Boasiako
Pat Frank quotes by Peprah Boasiako
As long as you're just smart enough to do a job and just dumb enough to swallow what they feed you, you're gonna be alright. But if you go beyond that then you're gonna have these grave doubts that give you stomach problems, headachesmake you want to go out and do something else. So, I believe that schools mechanically and very specifically try and breed out any hint of creative thought in the kids that are coming out. ~ Frank Zappa
Pat Frank quotes by Frank Zappa
I think the best president - because he changed the whole mood of the country, the whole economy of the country, and stood up to Communism ... that was continuing its causes around the world, and backed them off and caused them to collapse - and that was Ronald Reagan. ~ Pat Boone
Pat Frank quotes by Pat Boone
She was swamped by a feeling of utter hopelessness as she waited for him to destroy her with a few caustic words. But he continued to watch her silently, his face unreadable. It seemed almost as if he were waiting for some cue from her. The dilemma lasted for several seconds, until Sara solved it by bursting into tears. She jerked her hands up to her face, blotting her streaming eyes. "I'm so sorry," she gasped.
Suddenly he was next to her, touching her shoulders and arms lightly and then jerking his hands back as if burned. "No, don't. Don't. You're all right now." Gingerly he reached out to pat her back. "Don'y cry. Everything's fine. Bloody hell. Don't do that."
As she continued to weep, Derek hovered over her in baffled dismay. He excelled at seducing women, charming and deceiving them, breaking down their defenses... everything but comforting them. No one had ever required it of him. "There, now," he muttered, as he had heard Lily Raiford say a thousand times to her crying children. "There, now."
Suddenly she was leaning on him, her small head testing at the center of his chest. The long skeins of her hair draped everywhere, entangling him in a fine russet web. Alarmed, he lifted his hands to ease her away. Instead his arms slid around her until she was pressed against him length to length. "Miss Fielding," he said with great effort. "Sara..." She nestled deeper against him, muffling her gulping sobs in his shirtfront.
Derek swore and furtively presse ~ Lisa Kleypas
Pat Frank quotes by Lisa Kleypas
My job driving the ambulance was not very severe, you did what you were supposed to do. That was my main job. ~ Frank Buckles
Pat Frank quotes by Frank Buckles
Privilege becomes arrogance. Arrogance promotes injustice. The seeds of ruin blossom. ~ Frank Herbert
Pat Frank quotes by Frank Herbert
I usually write very few stage directions. I think a lot of that is a waste of time. The art of screenwriting is in its terseness, saying a lot with a little. I have no patience when I read a script where the writer describes this guy and what he's wearing and his glasses and his hair. ~ Scott Frank
Pat Frank quotes by Scott Frank
I'm young and have many hidden qualities; I'm young and strong and living through a big adventure; I'm right in the middle of it and can't spend all day complaining because it's impossible to have any fun! I'm blessed with many things: happiness, a cheerful disposition and strength. Every day I feel myself maturing, I feel liberation drawing near, I feel the beauty of nature and the goodness of the people around me. Every day I think what a fascinating and amusing adventure this is! With all that, why should I despair? Yours, ~ Anne Frank
Pat Frank quotes by Anne Frank
Silence becomes a woman.' Every woman I've ever known was brought up on that saying. ~ Pat Barker
Pat Frank quotes by Pat Barker
Nd I smile
and know
why people write music and paint and dance, lifted as if they can fly,
because this ache
crashing inside
needs to be free.
sometimes, love
becomes a melody
others hum for years. ~ Pat Mora
Pat Frank quotes by Pat Mora
I'm not allowed to have what I want. I can't have the prince ... because I am the unimaginable. I'm the catalyst in the destruction of my own happy ending. If only someone had warned the prince. ~ Ella Frank
Pat Frank quotes by Ella Frank
That's the way God works-one small key opens a big door. ~ Frank Marzullo
Pat Frank quotes by Frank Marzullo
I witness the birth on paper of sentences that have eluded my will and appear in spite of me on the sheet, teaching me something that I neither knew nor thought I might want to know. This painless birth, like an unsolicited proof, gives me untold pleasure, and with neither toil nor certainty but the joy of frank astonishment I follw the pen that is guiding and supporting me. ~ Muriel Barbery
Pat Frank quotes by Muriel Barbery
Jim (Henson) should have ****in fired me several times ... ~ Frank Oz
Pat Frank quotes by Frank Oz
And I loved Frank Lloyd Wright. I think he was the greatest man I have ever met in my life. ~ Anthony Quinn
Pat Frank quotes by Anthony Quinn
Alice of Wonderland was stranded on Earth. ~ Frank Beddor
Pat Frank quotes by Frank Beddor
That's what I like about Frank Ocean or Bon Iver - they try to capture a feeling in the most sincere way. ~ Todd Rundgren
Pat Frank quotes by Todd Rundgren
Before the game, he [Vin Scully] waxed poetic about Wrigley Field:
She stands alone at the corner of Clark and Addison, this dowager queen, dressed in basic black and pearls, seventy-five years old, proud head held high and not a hair out of place, awaiting yet another date with destiny, another time for Mr. Right. She dreams as old ladies will of men gone long ago. Joe Tinker. Johnny Evers. Frank Chance. And of those of recent vintage like her man Ernie. And the Lion [Leo Durocher]. And Sweet Billy Williams. And she thinks wistfully of what might have been, and the pain is still fresh and new, and her eyes fill, her lips tremble, and she shakes her head ever so slightly. And then she sighs, pulls her shawl tightly around her frail shoulders, and thinks, This time, this time it will be better. ~ George F. Will
Pat Frank quotes by George F. Will
High School is the penalty for transgressions yet to be specified. ~ Frank Portman
