Leave it to the Alderaanians to slap a cheery end on a nice little grisly children's morality tale. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
For if one is remembered by a friend, one is never truly gone. - ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Where there's life, there's the hope of change. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
With none of Vader's backstory available at the time, and having just invented the Noghri species for this story, I came up with the idea that Vader might have designed his mask to look like a stylized version of a Noghri face, the better to facilitate his command of the death commando squads. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
This was one of those odd thoughts that came out of the blue and struck me as both clever and logical. Hot chocolate wouldn't be something desert people would naturally gravitate toward. (There are cold deserts, of course, but with two suns I always assumed Tatooine is mostly pretty warm. Now, of course, the Star Wars Essential Atlas and other official material backs up that assumption.) I also caught way more grief for this than I ever expected. Quite a few people took me to task for putting an Earth-based drink into the Star Wars universe. Of course, those same people apparently weren't bothered by the Millennium Falcon, or lightsabers. It was, though, a reminder that you never know what word or image might jolt someone out of their suspension of disbelief. Anyway, why would anyone want to live in that Galaxy Far, Far Away if they don't have chocolate? Inconceivable ... ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Never make the mistake of believing forberance equates to acceptance, or that all positions are equally valid. ~ Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
The fear of the violent and the lawless is no less a tyranny than the edicts that come from the Emperor's throne. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
But Mount Tantiss was gone, destroyed by agents of the New Republic and C'baoth's own madness and treason. And Grand Admiral Thrawn was dead.

And the Empire was dying. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
I have no vision of any future, maitrakh. Not yours; not even mine. I was just thinking about children. Trying to imagine what it's like to try to raise them. Wondering how much of their character a family can mold, and how much is innate in the children themselves." She hesitated. "Wondering if the evil in a family's history can be erased, or whether it always passes itself on to each new generation. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
The choices of one shape the futures of all. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Alliances are useful in some situations. In others, they are absolutely vital. But ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
For a long moment, they stood together in silence. Vader thought about his secret... about Thrawn's loyalty... about the Emperor's continued need for him. Perhaps the entire Empire's need for him... "Anakin Skywalker is dead," he said.

Thrawn lowered his head. "I know."

Vader nodded slowly. *I know.* Not *So I have heard.* Not *So I was informed.* But *I know.* "We will not speak of him again," he said. "*You* will not speak of him again."

"I understand, my lord," Thrawn said. "But I will always honor his legacy. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Know your territory was the first rule that had been drilled into her...and the first thing she'd done after establishing herself in Karrde's organization had been to do precisely that. She'd studied the aeriel maps of the forest and surrounding territory; had taken long walks, in both daylight and at night, to familiarize herself with the sights and sounds; had sought out and killed several vornskrs and other predators to learn the fastest ways of taking them down; had even talked one of Karrde's people into running bio tests on a crateload of native plants to find out which were edible and which weren't. Outside the forest, she knew something about the settlers, understood the local politics, and had stashed a small but adequate part of her earnings out where she could get hold of it. [p] More than anyone in Karrde's organization, she was equipped to survive outside the confines of his encampment. So why was she trying so hard to get back there?" - Heir to the Empire p 270-271 re: Mara Jade ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
If the new movies do contradict my books in some way, I can probably come up with some hand-waving story that will explain the apparent discrepancy. If there's one thing we authors are good at, it's hand-waving. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
She was here, and it was now; and as the emperor's instructors had so often drummed into her, the first item of business was to fit into her surroundings. And that meant not looking like an escapee from the medical ward ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Each person has goals. Some goals are open, visible to all who care to observe. Others are more private, shared only with one's closest friends or associates.
Some are dark secrets that one hopes will never see the light of day. But eventually, inevitably, those deepest goals must be made manifest if they are to be reached. They must be opened for someone to hear, or see, or offer assistance.
Everyone who brings those goals into the light must be prepared for either acceptance or rejection. And he must be ready to bear the consequence.
All of them. ~ Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
But Lando was a gambler. A true gambler never folded when he still had cards left to play. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
All beings begin their lives with hope and aspirations. Among these aspirations is the desire that there will be a straight path to those goals. It is seldom so. Perhaps never.
Sometimes the turns are of one's own volition, as one's thoughts and goals change over time. But more often the turns are mandated by outside forces.
It was so with me. The memory is vivid, unsullied by age: the five admirals rising from their chairs as I am escorted into the chamber. The decision of the Ascendancy has been made, and they are here to deliver it.
None of them is happy with the decision. I can read that in their faces. But they are officers and servants of the Chiss, and they will carry out their orders. Protocol alone demands that.
The word is as I expected.
Exile.
The planet has already been chosen. The Aristocra will assemble the equipment necessary to endure that solitude does not quickly become Death from predators or the elements.
I am led away. Once again, my path has turned.
Where it will lead, I cannot say. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
A writer absolutely has to make his villains clever and competent. It's no fun - and no challenge - for the heroes to get out of trouble without sweating about it first. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
My point is that true leaders ... understand the possible consequences of their decisions, and are willing to bear that weight. The question is whether that's a step you're willing to take.
-Carlist Rieekan ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
No one is immune to failure. All have tasted the bitterness of defeat and disappointment. A warrior must not dwell on that failure, but must learn from it and continue on.
But not all learn from their errors. That is something those who seek to dominate others know very well, and know how to exploit it. If an opponent has failed once at a lococal problem, his enemy will first try the same type of problem, hoping the failure will be repeated.
What the manipulator sometimes forgets, and what a warrior must always remember, is that no two sets of circumstances are alike. One challenge is not like the other. The would-be victim may have learned from the earlier mistake.
Or there may have been an unanticipated or unknown crossing of life paths. ~ Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
...But we will succeed. I've seen the future, Jorj. We will succeed, because we have no other choice."

-Thrawn ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
The past is the past," Vader said. "The present and future are all that matter. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
And those who stand in our way," he added softly, "will not watch at all. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
War is a primarily a game of skill. It is a Contest of mind matched against mind, tactics matched against tactics.
But there is also an element of chance that is more suited to games of cards or dice. A wise tactician studies those games, as well, and learns from them.
The first lesson of card games is that the cards cannot be played in random order. Only when laid down properly can victory be achieved.
In this case, there were but three cards.
The first was played at the encampment. The result was entrance to the Strikefast. The second was played aboard ship. The result was promise of passage to Coruscant, and the assignment of Cadet Vanto as my translator.
The third was a name: Anakin Skywalker. ~ Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
And in that single crackle of tortured electronics she had lost everything. Her comm, her lights, her limited maneuvering jets, her life support regulator, her emergency beacons.

Everything.

For a second her thoughts flickered to Skywalker. He'd been lost in deep space, too, awhile back. But she'd had a reason to find him. No one had a similar reason to find her. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Still, even when false, legends can be most informative. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Hesitated; swooped again; hesitated again; swooped once more ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
You served too long under Lord Vader, Captain. I Have no qualms about accepting a useful idea merely because it wasn't my own. My position and ego are not at stake here. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Without trust, there can be no genuine peace. Neither in politics, nor in the quiet individuality of the heart and spirit. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
If you accept the position of governor, part of your job is to make sure all your people have a decent shot at making something good out of their lives. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
One may learn a great deal about a people by the stories they tell of others. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
You're not the last of the old Jedi, Luke, you're the first of the new ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
It isn't my job to win . . . my job is simply to take the stand I think right, no matter how unpopular or hopeless or even ridiculous the cause looks, and to have the courage to act on my beliefs. No matter what the consequences turn out to be. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Fine," Vanto said. The musculature of his throat relaxes partially, but not fully. "Personally, I'd be a lot more concerned about him, but that's up to you. But I'm still the bottom man on the roster. Why do you even care about me?" "You are my translator. You hold my words in your hand, and their meanings. A misjudged translation will confuse or anger. A deliberate error could lead to death. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
An enemy will almost never be anything except an enemy. All one can do with an enemy is defeat him. But and adversary can sometimes become an ally.
There is a cost, of course. In all things in life there is a cost. In dealing with an adversary, sometimes the cost paid in power or position.
Sometimes the cost is greater. Sometimes the risk is one's future, or even one's life.
But in all such situations, the calculation is straightforward: whether or not the potential gain is worth the potential loss.
And the warrior must never forget that he and his adversary are not the only ones in that equation. Sometimes, all the universe may hang in the balance. ~ Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
I said no," Jimmy said. His voice quavered slightly under the blazing heat of her glare, but his words were as solid as a sealant weld. "Captain Smith says it's wrong."
"And I say it's right," Kulasawa snapped. "Why listen to him instead of me?"
"Because he's my boss." Jimmy looked at me. "And because I trust him."
He turned back to Kulasawa. "And because he's never needed a gun to tell me what to do. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
All strive for victory. But not all understand what it truly is. To a soldier or pilot on the line, victory is surviving the current battle. To a politician, victory is an advantage one can bring to a bargaining table. To a warrior, victory is driving an enemy from the field of battle, or bringing him to surrender.
Sometimes victory is greater than the warrior could ever hope for.
Sometimes it is more than he is able to hear. ~ Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
Multiple species, with multiple viewpoints and racial philosophies, simply cannot hold power together for long. The dominant voice must certainly be wise enough to adopt ideas and methods from its allies and member peoples. But there must be a dominant voice, or there is only chaos. In this part of the galaxy, that voice is the Empire.
-Thrawn ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
History is on the move, Captain. Those who cannot keep up will be left behind, to watch from a distance. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
How many black holes have we been up close and personal with?" Kosta countered. "All sorts of odd things happen near the event horizon, from huge tidal forces to variations in time. Personally, I'm voting on it having to do with gravity, either a polarization of the fields themselves or else something related to the time differential."
I didn't know physics had become a democracy," Hanan murmered. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
I rule the Empire now. Not some long-dead Emperor; certainly not you. the only treason is defiance of my orders. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
All opponents are not necessarily enemies. But both enemies and opponents carry certain characteristics in common. Both perceive their opposite as an obstacle, or an opportunity, or a threat. Sometimes the threat is personal; other times it is a perceived violation of standards or accepted norms of society. In ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
When you understand a species' art, you understand that species. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
One spoke to him in person, or one did not speak to him at all. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
The scene that made me furious was watching Padme, a woman who just gave birth to two beautiful children, just giving up the will to live. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
At one time or another, every warrior wishes to have an unconquerable fortress. Such as a fortress is perceived as a refuge, a place of defiance, or a rock upon which enemies can be goaded into smashing themselves to their own destruction.
Politicians, too, yearn for such a fortresses, though they envision them in terms of power and authority instead of stone and weapons and shields. Industrialists wish to be similarly protected against competitors and marauders, while pirates hope for defense against system of authorities. In one way or another, all people wish for ultimate safety.
But ultimately safety does not exist. Those who trust in such will find that hope dashed upon the very rock behind which they seek to hide. ~ Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
A great tactician creates plans. A good tactician recognizes the soundness of a plan presented on him. A fair tactician must see the plan succeed before offering approval.
Those with no tactical ability at all may never understand or accept it. Nor will such people understand or accept the tactician. To those without that ability, those who posses it are a mystery.
And when a mind is too deficient in understanding, the resulting gap is often filled with with resentment. ~ Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
The way an Ugnaught gets to be an old Ugnaught is by being smart. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Uncertainties are often useful in paralyzing an opponent's plans and actions ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Courage wasn't a matter of taking the whole mountain in a single massive leap. Courage was taking it one step at a time, doing what was necessary now, preparing for the next step, and refusing to worry about whether some step in the future would be the one that would break him. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
[Han] glared into his mug. Besides, he didn't add, asking Princess Leia for repacement reward credits would mean he'd have to tell her how he'd lost the first batch. Not in gambling or bad investments or even drinking, but to a kriffing pirate.
And then she would give him one of those looks.
There were, he decided, worse things than being on Jabba's hit list ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
I did not refer to the legends themselves," Thrawn said, turning his glowing eyes on her. "But what is remembered says a great deal about those doing the remembering. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
the need to create is a drive that lies deep within each of us. We all strive to build empires, whether of stone or people or words. Empires we hope will survive us. In the end, though, each of us must necessarily leave our creations behind. All we can hope for is to also leave behind a worthy successor to continue our work. Or who can at least maintain it for a season. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Leadership and obedience are the two legs on which a warrior's life is balanced. Without both, victory cannot be achieved.
Leadership depends on information and comprehension. Not so obedience. Sometimes a commander may choose to share details of his plan. Often he may not. In either case, obedience must be instant and complete.
Such automatic response relies on trust between commander and those commanded. And that trust can only be obtained through leadership. ~ Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
No one is immune from failure. All have tasted the bitterness of defeat and disappointment. A warrior must not dwell on that failure, but must learn from it and continue on. But ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
A more accurate statement would be that I was the first person since Jedi who was permitted to stick a fork into the piecrust to see if there was still any steam underneath. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Fear and anger, Yoda had often warned him, were slaves to the dark side. Vaguely, Luke wondered which side curiosity served. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
The soldier in the field and the crew member aboard a warship inevitably see a war from a limited perspective. Their goal is to carry out their mission or their appointed task, and trust that their commanders are aware of the larger situation and the vast matrix of facts, positions, options, and dangers. Leadership is a role and a task that should never be aspired to lightly. Neither should loyalty be given without reason. Even if the primary reason is nothing more than the soldier's oath and duty, a true leader will work to prove worthy of a deeper trust.
But leadership and loyalty are both two-bladed weapons. Each can be twisted from its intended purpose. The consequences are never pleasant. ~ Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
one may need to undergo several regimens of training and sample several different professions before determining where one's strongest talents lie. This is the driving force behind many life-path alterations. There are few sets of skills that match only one specific job. More often they are adaptable to many different professions. Sometimes, one can plan such a change. Other times, the change appears without warning. In both instances, one must be alert and carefully consider all options. Not every change is a step forward. - ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
I know something about a lot of things," she countered evenly. "That's why you're grooming me to be your lieutenant, remember?" - Mara Jade ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
But Imperial stormtroopers were something else entirely. He and the others had survived a couple of brief encounters with them aboard the Death Star, but even at the time he'd had the feeling the Imperials had been taken by surprise and weren't operating at full efficiency. Now, of course, he knew that Tarkin and Vader had deliberately allowed the Falcon and its crew to escape so they could track it to Yavin 4. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
What about you, Commander? Why do *you* seek higher rank?'
It was a question many had asked over the years. Thrawn had asked it of himself. The answer never seemed to satisfy the questioner.
'Because there are problems that must be solved. Some cannot be solved by anyone except me. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
For a long minute he gazed at her, his eyes searching the features of that face he'd grown to love so deeply over the years, his memory bringing up images of the past as he did so. The young determination in her face as, in the middle of a blazing firefight, she'd grabbed Luke's blaster rifle away from him and shot them an escape route into the Death Star's detention-level garbage chute. The sound of her voice in the middle of deadly danger at Jabba's, helping him through the blindness and tremor and disorientation of hibernation sickness. The wiser, more mature determination visible through the pain in her eyes as, lying wounded outside the Endor bunker, she had nevertheless summoned the skill and control to coolly shoot two stormtroopers off Han's back.

And he remembered, too, the wrenching realization he'd had at that same time: that no matter how much he tried, he would never be able to totally protect her from the dangers and risks of the universe. Because no matter how much he might love her--no matter how much he might give of himself to her--she could never be content with that alone. Her vision extended beyond him, just as it extended beyond herself, to all the beings of the galaxy.

And to take that away from her, whether by force or even by persuasion, would be to diminish her soul. And to take away part of what he'd fallen in love with in the first place. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Which meant he was alone here. Even more alone than he'd realized. He took a deep breath. He wasn't alone. The Force was with him. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
No one can say where his path will take him, even for the duration of a single day. More difficult still is to see where one's path will intersect that of another warrior.
A warrior must always be alert for such meetings. Some are generated by happenstance, and those may be benign. But others are arranged with purpose. Those must never be underestimated.
Fortunately, there are always signs. Before any trap is sprung, it must be prepared and primed and armed. If one reads the signs properly, the pattern of the attack will be clear.
But one must always remember that launching a trap is easier than defeating it. ~ Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
Once you make a decision, you can never go back and change it. Sometimes, farther down the line, you have a chance to alter its effects. But the original decision is there forever. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
As he joined them, Lando felt a frown crease his forehead. It had been hard to tell through all the rest of their murmurings. But he could have sworn Winter had just said--

'Winter?' he asked.
'Yes?' she said, looking at him
Lando felt his lip twitch. 'Nothing, he said, and kept walking.

Because, really, no one said 'May the Force be with us' anymore. No one but Rebels and religious nuts.

And if Winter was one of either group, he really didn't want to know about it. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
If you don't want to be noticed, you don't use a Star Destroyer. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Failure to act always brings consequences. But sometimes, those consequences can be turned to one's advantage. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Thrawn smiled - a smile that sent a shiver up Pellaeon's back. "Why, the only puzzle worth solving, of course," the Grand Admiral said softly. "The complete, total, and utter destruction of the Rebellion. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
The Lady Vader has come. We would hear her words.'

'Then you will hear them in prison.' The dynast gestured, and two more of the official guard left their line, heading purposefully toward the steps.

It was, Leia judged, the right moment. Glancing down at her belt, she reached out through the Force with all the power and control she could manage--

And her lightsaber leaped from her belt, breaking free from its quick-release and jumping up in front of her. Her eyes and mind found the switch, and with a snap-hiss the brilliant green-white blade flashed into existence, carving out a vertical line between her and the line of dynasts.

There was a sound like a hissing gasp from the crowd. The two Noghri who had been moving toward the maitrakh froze in mid stride...and as the gasp vanished into utter silence, Leia knew that she'd finally gotten their complete attention. 'I am not merely the daughter of the Lord Vader,' she said, putting an edge of controlled anger into her voice. 'I am the Mal'ary'ush: heir to his authority and his power. I have come through many dangers to reveal the treachery that has been done to the Noghri people.'

She withdrew as much of her concentration as she could risk from the floating lightsaber to look slowly down the line of dynasts. 'Will you hear me? Or will you instead choose death? ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Of his. The same earnestness that had stopped her from killing that insane Joruus C'baoth back on Jomark. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Military leadership is a journey, not a destination. It is continually challenged, and must continually prove it self anew against fresh obstacles. Sometimes those obstacles are external events. Other times they are the doubts of those being led. Still other times they are a result of the leaders's own failures and shortcomings.
Political power and influence are different. Once certain levels have been reached, there is no need to prove leadership or competence. A person with such power is accustomed to having every word carefully considere, and every whim treated as an order. And all who recognize that power know to bow to it.
A few have the courage or the foolishness to resist. Some succeed in standing firm against the storm. More often, they find their paths yet again turned form their hopes for goal. ~ Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
But there's a school of thought that says if you're going to go down in flames anyway, you might as well be the one lighting the matches. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
A Jedi can't get so caught up in matters of galactic importance that it interferes with his concern for individual people. ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Firmly, Luke put the thought out of his mind. Mourning the loss of a friend and teacher was both fitting and honorable, but to dwell unnecessarily on that loss was to give the past too much power over the present. The ~ Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Zahn
Paradoxically, capital has unleashed myriad objects upon us, in their manifold horror and sparkling splendor. Two hundred years of idealism, two hundred years of seeing humans at the center of existence, and now the objects take revenge, terrifyingly huge, ancient, long-lived, threateningly minute, invading every cell in our body. ~ Timothy Morton
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Morton
Everything we did in the 1960s was designed to fission, to weaken faith in and conformity to the 1950s social order. Our precise surgical target was the Judeo-Christian power monolith, which has imposed a guilty, inhibited, grim, anti-body, anti-life repression on Western civilization. ~ Timothy Leary
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Leary
Donate! Volunteer! Speak up! Speak out! Stand Up! We All Can Contribute Something To Help End Abuse & Violence! ~ Timothy Pina
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Pina
You don't need to be a poet, a performer, a writer, or a journalist to tell your story powerfully. You do, however, need to elevate your language in ways that will bring your story to life clearly and imaginatively for others. ~ John Capecci And Timothy Cage
Timothy Zahn quotes by John Capecci And Timothy Cage
It takes both spouses to say, "My self-centeredness is the main problem in my marriage" to have a great marriage. ~ Timothy Keller
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Keller
It is remarkable that in all of his writings Paul's prayers for his friends contain no appeals for changes in their circumstances. ~ Timothy Keller
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Keller
Beijing's preferred method of control, in Russia as in Africa, has been legal contracts on terms advantageous to itself. ~ Timothy Snyder
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Snyder
My head is in the skies because my head is full of you. ~ Timothy Joshua
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Joshua
Despite all the lunacy of the last century, all the absurdity of war and genocide, we believe that humans being are rational and are made to seek the truth. ~ Timothy Radcliffe
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Radcliffe
One thing have I desired of the Lord, one thing will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord to behold the beauty of the Lord. ~ Timothy Keller
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Keller
Illegal immigration is crisis for our country. It is an open door for drugs, criminals, and potential terrorists to enter our country. It is straining our economy, adding costs to our judicial, healthcare, and education systems. ~ Timothy Murphy
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Murphy
Workaholics typically have a lot of achievement with very little appreciation of what they have, whether it's cars or friendships or otherwise. That is a shallow victory. Then you have people with a lot of appreciation and no achievement, which is fine, but it doesn't create a lot of good in the world. ~ Timothy Ferriss
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Ferriss
Ben Says: Child are born to be vibrant. Empower them with positive affirmations that will fuel them throughout their lives and then watch them shine like the stars above.
Timothy Pina
Bullying Ben ~ Timothy Pina
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Pina
Either Conquer Your Despair Or Your Despair Will Conquer You! ~ Timothy Pina
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Pina
When you elevate the heels more so than you elevate the sole of the foot, you trigger a cascade of compensations in the knees and hips that cause tight hip flexors, and then those hip flexors cause lower-back pain. ~ Timothy Ferriss
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Ferriss
A seven-year-old cannot question the mathematical calculations of a world-class physicist. Yet we question how God is running the world. Does that make sense? ~ Timothy J. Keller
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy J. Keller
One day soon, you'll hear a car pull up to your curb, an engine cut out. You'll hear footsteps coming up your front walk. Like they did for Edward Wayne Edwards, twenty-nine years after he killed Timothy Hack and Kelly Drew, in Sullivan, Wisconsin. Like they did for Kenneth Lee Hicks, thirty years after he killed Lori Billingsley, in Aloha, Oregon.

The doorbell rings.

No side gates are left open. You're long past leaping over a fence. Take one of your hyper, gulping breaths. Clench your teeth. Inch timidly toward the insistent bell.

This is how it ends for you.

"You'll be silent forever, and I'll be gone in the dark," you threatened a victim once.

Open the door. Show us your face.

Walk into the light. ~ Michelle McNamara
Timothy Zahn quotes by Michelle McNamara
"Believe in yourself" - that makes sense. You should believe in yourself - you should believe that you're capable of great things - but you would hope that somebody would have some sort of self-awareness. ~ Timothy Simons
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Simons
Adults are always asking kids what they want to be when they grow up because they are looking for ideas. - PAULA POUNDSTONE ~ Timothy Ferriss
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Ferriss
salami tactics - slicing off layers of opposition one by one. ~ Timothy Snyder
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Snyder
No one owes you anything. ~ Timothy Ferriss
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Ferriss
Remember: Humanity is greater than all of the world's politics! ~ Timothy Pina
Timothy Zahn quotes by Timothy Pina
Many Say Peace Is The Way ... I say Peace Is The Only Way. The only way you can start transforming into a better person and help the world evolve into a brighter place. ~ Timothy Pina
