All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
True Things quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
Engage the mind and soul with true things ~ Mangesh Kumar Panwar
True Things quotes by Mangesh Kumar Panwar
The Hill
Breathless, we flung us on the windy hill,
Laughed in the sun, and kissed the lovely grass.
You said, "Through glory and ecstasy we pass;
Wind, sun, and earth remain, the birds sing still,
When we are old, are old ... " "And when we die
All's over that is ours; and life burns on
Through other lovers, other lips," said I,
- "Heart of my heart, our heaven is now, is won!"
"We are Earth's best, that learnt her lesson here.
Life is our cry. We have kept the faith!" we said;
"We shall go down with unreluctant tread
Rose-crowned into the darkness!" ... Proud we were,
And laughed, that had such brave true things to say.
- And then you suddenly cried, and turned away. ~ Rupert Brooke
True Things quotes by Rupert Brooke
I said a lot of true things, the most jarring ones I could, because if you say honest things harshly people look at them. And not at you. ~ E. Jade Lomax
True Things quotes by E. Jade Lomax
Miguel," he said, when he felt my defenses weakening, "the conflict you speak of exists in the human mind, and it is not actually a conflict between good and evil; it is a conflict between truth and lies. When we believe in truth, we feel good and our life is good. When we believe in things that are not true, things that encourage fear and hatred in us, the result is fanaticism. The result is what people recognize as evil - evil words, evil intentions, evil actions. All the violence and suffering in the world is a direct result of the many lies we tell ourselves. ~ Miguel Ruiz
True Things quotes by Miguel Ruiz
Still perfect," he said. "Read to me."
"This isn't really a poem to read aloud when you are sitting next to your sleeping mother. It has, like, sodomy and angel dust in it," I said.
"You just named two of my favorite pastimes," he said. "Okay, read me something else then?"
"Um," I said. "I don't have anything else?"
"That's too bad. I am so in the mood for poetry. Do you have anything memorized?"
"'Let us go then, you and I,'" I started nervously, "'When the evening is spread out against the sky / Like a patient etherized upon a table.'"
"Slower," he said.
I felt bashful, like I had when I'd first told him of An Imperial Affliction. "Um, okay. Okay. 'Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, / The muttering retreats / Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels / And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells: / Streets that follow like a tedious argument / Of insidious intent / To lead you to an overwhelming question . . . / Oh, do not ask, "What is it?" / Let us go and make our visit.'"
"I'm in love with you," he said quietly.
"Augustus," I said.
"I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our l ~ John Green
True Things quotes by John Green
How trite, but true: things change. Some all at once, some over a lifetime. ~ Mira T. Lee
True Things quotes by Mira T. Lee
All true things must change and only that which changes remains true. ~ Carl Jung
True Things quotes by Carl Jung
Always do what you feel deeply in the within to be the true thing to do. ~ Wallace D. Wattles
True Things quotes by Wallace D. Wattles
Early in his life Mr. [Ezra] Pound met with strong, continued, and unintelligent opposition. If people keep opposing you when you are right, you think them fools; and after a time, right or wrong, you think them fools simply because they oppose you. Similarly, you write true things or good things, and end by thinking things true or good simply because you write them ~ Randall Jarrell
True Things quotes by Randall Jarrell
Whatever pain and suffering you've experienced in your life has been a blessing at least in this one regard: you now know some true things that you couldn't have learned any other way. ~ Eric Maisel
True Things quotes by Eric Maisel
I do not intend that this book be a tract on behalf of Bokononism. I should like to offer a Bokononist warning about it, however. The first sentence in The Books of Bokonon is this: "All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies." My Bokononist warning is this: Anyone unable to understand how a useful religion can be founded on lies will not understand this book either. So be it. *** ~ Kurt Vonnegut
True Things quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
I doubt there's ever been a true thing said on Fox. Maybe the weather report, maybe not. ~ Fran Lebowitz
True Things quotes by Fran Lebowitz
I'm in love with you," he said quietly.
"Augustus," I said.
"I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you. ~ John Green
True Things quotes by John Green
They came to sit & dangle their feet off the edge of the world & after awhile they forgot everything but the good & true things they would do someday. ~ Brian Andreas
True Things quotes by Brian Andreas
If you set to work to believe everything, you will tire out the believing-muscles of your mind, and then you'll be so weak you won't be able to believe the simplest true things. ~ Lewis Carroll
True Things quotes by Lewis Carroll
Writers say many true things about their own experiences with publicity and promotion. ~ Teresa Nielsen Hayden
True Things quotes by Teresa Nielsen Hayden
From the Heliconian Muses let us begin to sing, who hold the great and holy mount of Helicon, and dance on soft feet about the deep-blue spring and the altar of the almighty son of Cronos, and, when they have washed their tender bodies in Permessus or in the Horse's Spring or Olmeius, make their fair, lovely dances upon highest Helicon and move with vigorous feet. Thence they arise and go abroad by night, veiled in thick mist, and utter their song with lovely voice, praising Zeus the aegis-holder and queenly Hera of Argos who walks on golden sandals and the daughter of Zeus the aegis-holder bright-eyed Athene, and Phoebus Apollo, and Artemis who delights in arrows, and Poseidon the earth-holder who shakes the earth, and reverend Themis and quick-glancing Aphrodite, and Hebe with the crown of gold, and fair Dione, Leto, Iapetus, and Cronos the crafty counsellor, Eos and great Helius and bright Selene, Earth too, and great Oceanus, and dark Night, and the holy race of all the other deathless ones that are for ever. And one day they taught Hesiod glorious song while he was shepherding his lambs under holy Helicon, and this word first the goddesses said to me - the Muses of Olympus, daughters of Zeus who holds the aegis: 'Shepherds of the wilderness, wretched things of shame, mere bellies, we know how to speak many false things as though they were true; but we know, when we will, to utter true things'. ~ Hesiod
True Things quotes by Hesiod
They came to sit & dangle their feet off the edge of the world & after awhile they forgot everything but the good & true things they would do someday. ~ Brian Andreas
True Things quotes by Brian Andreas
Only the hand that erases can write the true thing. ~ Meister Eckhart
True Things quotes by Meister Eckhart
There is only one true thing: instantly paint what you see. When you've got it, you've got it. When you haven't, you begin again. All the rest is humbug. ~ Edouard Manet
True Things quotes by Edouard Manet
Imagination is the only true thing in the world! ~ Sarah Orne Jewett
True Things quotes by Sarah Orne Jewett
It is not fear that stops you from doing the brave and true thing in your daily life. Rather, the problem is avoidance. You want to feel comfortable so you avoid doing or saying the thing that will evoke fear and other difficult emotions. Avoidance will make you feel less vulnerable in the short run but, it will never make you less afraid. ~ Harriet Lerner
True Things quotes by Harriet Lerner
It's the lie I'm thinking of. It might infect everything. If they ever found out you'd lied to them about this, the true things would suffer. They wouldn't believe anything then." "Yes, I see. But what can I tell them? I couldn't tell them the whole truth." "Maybe you can tell them a part truth, enough so that you won't suffer if they find out. ~ John Steinbeck
True Things quotes by John Steinbeck
It's easier to say true things in the dark. Spider said, "You know what doesn't make sense here?" "Everything? ~ Neil Gaiman
True Things quotes by Neil Gaiman
I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. ~ John Green
True Things quotes by John Green
Sometimes, Shan's father had told him, people can live eighty and ninety years and only briefly, once or twice at most, glimpse the true things of life, the things that are the essence of the planet and of mankind. Sometimes people died without ever seeing a true thing. But, he had assured Shan, you can always find true things if you just know where to look. ~ Eliot Pattison
True Things quotes by Eliot Pattison
Lost things are the truest things. ~ Marty Rubin
True Things quotes by Marty Rubin
The true things rarely get into circulation. It's usually the false things. ~ Marilyn Monroe
True Things quotes by Marilyn Monroe
There's a lot of true things that happen in our life. I think we see them at the very moment they happen too, then we try to forget about them. ~ Jonis Agee
True Things quotes by Jonis Agee
There are so many good ones to paint and if you paint as well as you really can and keep out of all other things and do that, it is the true thing. ~ Ernest Hemingway,
True Things quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
The entire vitality of art depends upon its being either full of truth, or full of use; and that, however pleasant, wonderful, or impressive it may be in itself, it must yet be of inferior kind, and tend to deeper inferiority, unless it has clearly one of these main objects, either to state a true thing, or to adorn a serviceable one. ~ John Ruskin
True Things quotes by John Ruskin
Of course that is not the whole story, but that is the way with stories; we make them what we will. It's a way of explaining the universe while leaving the universe unexplained, it's a way of keeping it all alive, not boxing it into time. Everyone who tells a story tells it differently, just to remind us that everybody sees it differently. Some people say there are true things to be found, some people say all kinds of things can be proved. I don't believe them. The only thing for certain is how complicated it all is, like string full of knots. It's all there but hard to find the beginning and impossible to fathom the end. The best you can do is admire the cat's cradle, and maybe knot it up a bit more. History should be a hammock for swinging and a game for playing, the way cats play. Claw it, chew it, rearrange it and at bedtime it's still a ball of string full of knots. Nobody should mind. Some people make a lot of money out of it. Publishers do well, children, when bright, can come top. It's an all-purpose rainy day pursuit, this reducing of stories called history. ~ Jeanette Winterson
True Things quotes by Jeanette Winterson
Occasionally, in times of worry, I've longed to be stylish, but on second thought I say no-just let me be myself-and express rough, yet true things with rough workmanship. ~ Vincent Van Gogh
True Things quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
Sometimes, you go - you achieve a few things in life. I have achieved more career success than I ever experienced or that I ever thought. And I just realized, it doesn't make you happy. It's an elemental truth. It's so true. ~ David Brooks
True Things quotes by David Brooks
The more you say true things, the more you will be respected; the more you will respected, the more you shall feel to be obliged to say even truer things! Every true path at the beginning opens the paths of even greater and stronger truths in the future! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
True Things quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
The emotional pattern seems to be something like, "[Karl] Polanyi, a person of the left like me, says many true things, beautifully. Therefore his tales about what happened in economic history must be true." Marx before him got similar treatment. Lately the more eloquent of the environmentalists, such as Wendell Berry, get it too. People want to believe that beauty is truth. A supporting emotional frame on the left arises from the very idea of historical progress: "We must be able to do so much better than this wretched capitalism." It is not true, but it motivates. ~ Deirdre N. McCloskey
True Things quotes by Deirdre N. McCloskey
We must hold fast to the austere but true doctrine as to what really governs politics and saves or destroys states. Having in mind things true, things elevated, things just, things pure, things amiable, things of good report; having these in mind, studying and loving these, is what saves states. ~ Matthew Arnold
True Things quotes by Matthew Arnold
We who make stories know that we tell lies for a living. But they are good lies that say true things, and we owe it to our readers to build them as best we can. Because somewhere out there is someone who needs that story. Someone who will grow up with a different landscape, who without that story will be a different person. And who with that story may have hope, or wisdom, or kindness, or comfort. And that is why we write. ~ Neil Gaiman
True Things quotes by Neil Gaiman
But we must be aware that art cannot be used to show the validity of Christianity; it should rather be the reverse. Christianity is true; things and actions and human endeavor only get their meaning from their relationship to God. ~ H.R. Rookmaaker
True Things quotes by H.R. Rookmaaker
I was saying the right things, but not the really true things. ~ Katherine Hannigan
True Things quotes by Katherine Hannigan
I think emotional and mental pain is probably worse than physical pain. I think we don't realize that I have no arms or legs but we all have disabilities of some sort, some fear, some lost, some wishes that didn't come true, things we wish would be better. ~ Nick Vujicic
True Things quotes by Nick Vujicic
Billy was unconscious for two days after that, and he dreamed millions of things, some of them true. The true things were time-travel. ~ Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
True Things quotes by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
It is not to taste sweet things; but to do noble and true things, and vindicate himself under God's heaven as a God-made man, that the poorest son of Adam dimly longs. Show him the way of doing that, the dullest day-drudge kindles into a hero. They wrong man greatly who say he is to be seduced by ease. Difficulty, abnegation, martyrdom, death, are the allurements that act on the heart of man. Kindle the inner genial life of him, you have a flame that burns up all lower considerations. ~ Thomas Carlyle
True Things quotes by Thomas Carlyle
The best way to show people true things is from a direction that they had not imagined the truth coming. ~ Neil Gaiman
True Things quotes by Neil Gaiman
Extending the language of film sometimes starts with just trying to show one true thing. ~ Samuel Fuller
True Things quotes by Samuel Fuller
The lies you told sounded like the truth. But the true things you said still sounded like a lie.- ~ Colyn Wilson
True Things quotes by Colyn Wilson
As a grown woman, I would have said to my father that there are true things in this world observed only by a single set of eyes. ~ Carmen Maria Machado
True Things quotes by Carmen Maria Machado
Tell me some true things about fighting.'Tell me you love me.'I love you,' the girl said. 'You can publish it in the Gazzettino if you like. I love your hard, flat body and your strange eyes that frighten me when they become wicked. I love your hand and all your other wounded places. ~ Ernest Hemingway,
True Things quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
Some things are better left in the past. And true things are destined to repeat themselves. ~ Suzanne Young
True Things quotes by Suzanne Young
Is your life beautiful? Do you live in surroundings that you have made beautiful through your own unique, creative ideas? To expect and lovingly require beauty to be apparent in all areas of your life is to be deeply loving to yourself, your soul, your world, and shows reverence to God and all of life. There is always something beautiful to be found, right where you are, if you will look for it. Concentrate your thoughts on the good, the beautiful, and the true things in life. ~ John Templeton
True Things quotes by John Templeton
And everywhere people asked him why he was walking through the country.
Because he loved true things, he tried to explain. He said he was nervous and besides he wanted to see the country, smell the ground and look at grass and birds and trees, to savor the country, and there was no other way to do it save on foot. And people didn't like him for telling the truth. They scowled, or shook and tapped their heads, they laughed as though they knew it was a lie and they appreciated a liar. And some, afraid for their daughters or pigs, told him to move on, to get going, just not to stop near their place if he knew what was good for him.
And so he stopped telling the truth. He said he was doing it on a bet - that he stood to win a hundred dollars. Everyone liked him then and believed him. ~ John Steinbeck
True Things quotes by John Steinbeck
We know how to speak many falsehoods that resemble real things, but we know, when we will, how to speak true things. ~ Hesiod
True Things quotes by Hesiod
We always underestimated our own participation in magic. That is, we thought of magic as something that existed with or without us. But that's not true. Things are not magical because they've been conjured for us by some outside force. They are magical because we create them, and then deem them so. Ryan and Avery will say the first moment they spoke, the first moment they danced, was magical. But they were the ones - no one else, nothing else - who gave it the magic. We know. We were there. Ryan opened himself to it. Avery opened himself to it. And the act of opening was all they needed. That is the magic. ~ David Levithan
True Things quotes by David Levithan
What was in the bags?" she asked softly.
"Florida mud," he answered. "That was one of two true things I told you. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
True Things quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Pretending",' she looked at the garden, 'is not the truth.'
'But you said two true things, right ? One, you hate this girl. Two, you want her to feel better. If you decide that the wanting truth's more important than the hating truth, just tell her you've forgiven her, even if you haven't. At least she'd feel better. Maybe that'd make you feel better too.'
Madame Crommelynck studied her hands, moodily, both sides. 'Sophistry', she pronounced.
I'm not sure what 'sophistry' means so I kept shtum. ~ David Mitchell
True Things quotes by David Mitchell
It's as simple as that. Simple and complicated, as most true things are. ~ David Levithan
True Things quotes by David Levithan
Sometimes writers say true things about the overall nature of publicity, promotion, and the publishing industry; but alas, not always. ~ Teresa Nielsen Hayden
True Things quotes by Teresa Nielsen Hayden
He liked the way the story unfolded as he wrote, liked the way the answers just came to him sometimes, out of the blue, like they were true things just waiting to be discovered by him. ~ Holly Black
True Things quotes by Holly Black
May be mine the lesson that Jonah teaches to all sinners; and therefore to ye, and still more to me, for I am a greater sinner than ye. And now how gladly would I come down from this mast-head and sit on the hatches there where you sit, and listen as you listen, while some one of you reads ME that other and more awful lesson which Jonah teaches to ME, as a pilot of the living God. How being an anointed pilot-prophet, or speaker of true things, and bidden by the Lord to sound those unwelcome truths in the ears of a wicked Nineveh, Jonah, appalled at the hostility he should raise, fled from his mission, and sought to escape his duty and his God by taking ship at Joppa. But God is everywhere; Tarshish he never reached. As ~ Herman Melville
True Things quotes by Herman Melville
Doc still loved true things but he knew that it was not a general love and it could be a very dangerous mistress. ~ John Steinbeck
True Things quotes by John Steinbeck
Wars and chaoses and paradoxes ago, two mathematicians between them ended an age d began another for our hosts, our ghosts called Man. One was Einstein, who with his Theory of Relativity defined the limits of man's perception by expressing mathematically just how far the condition of the observer influences the thing he perceives.
...
The other was Goedel, a contemporary of Eintstein, who was the first to bring back a mathematically precise statement about the vaster realm beyond the limits Einstein had defined: In any closed mathematical system--you may read 'the real world with its immutable laws of logic'--there are an infinite number of true theorems--you may read 'perceivable, measurable phenomena'--which, though contained in the original system, can not be deduced from it--read 'proven with ordinary or extraordinary logic.' Which is to say, there are more things in heaven and Earth than are dreamed of in your philosophy, Horatio. There are an infinite number of true things in the world with no way of ascertaining their truth. Einstein defined the extent of the rational. Goedel stuck a pin into the irrational and fixed it to the wall of the universe so that it held still long enough for people to know it was there.
...
The visible effects of Einstein's theory leaped up on a convex curve, its production huge in the first century after its discovery, then leveling off. The production of Goedel's law crept up on a concave curve, microscopic at first, th ~ Samuel R. Delany
True Things quotes by Samuel R. Delany
Auden said poetry makes nothing happen. But I wonder if the opposite could be true. It could make something happen. ~ Carol Ann Duffy
True Things quotes by Carol Ann Duffy
Most true things are kind of corny, don't you think? But we make them more sophisticated out of sheer embarrassment. ~ Michel Faber
True Things quotes by Michel Faber
You know, I began my life as a creative person writing true things for magazines and telling some very honest, straightforward personal essaying for This American Life, but until someone forces you, with a deadline, to really observe your life - unless you're motivated to do it yourself - there's so many stories that you miss. ~ John Hodgman
True Things quotes by John Hodgman
Because he loved true things he tried to explain. ~ John Steinbeck
True Things quotes by John Steinbeck
I try and take everyone's ideals, common morals, flip them around, make people look at them differently, question them, so that you're not always taking things for granted. ~ Marilyn Manson
True Things quotes by Marilyn Manson
He had always disliked the people who encored a favorite air in an opera - "That just spoils it" had been his comment. But this now appeared to him as a principle of far wider application and deeper moment. This itch to have things over again, as if life were a film that could be unrolled twice or even made to work backward . . . was it possibly the root of all evil? No: of course the love of money was called that. But money itself - perhaps one valued it chiefly as a defense against chance, a security for being able to have things over again, a means of arresting the unrolling of the film. He ~ C.S. Lewis
True Things quotes by C.S. Lewis
Good things happen to a team when a player takes the place where he adds the most value. Great things happen when all the players on the team take the role that maximizes their strengths - their talent, skill, and experience. ~ John C. Maxwell
True Things quotes by John C. Maxwell
Here was something I already knew to be true about myself: Just as there are some wives who will occasionally need a break from their husbands in order to visit a spa for the weekend with their girlfriends, I will always be the sort of wife who occasionally needs a break from her husband in order to visit Cambodia. Just for a few days! ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
True Things quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
we recognize all things by the existence of their opposite - day as distinguishable from night, failure from success, peace from war." We could add "safety from hazard." When ~ Gavin De Becker
True Things quotes by Gavin De Becker
Two things remain irretrievable: time and a first impression. ~ Cynthia Ozick
True Things quotes by Cynthia Ozick
He whose thoughts, like skylarks, Toward the morning sky take flight - Who hovers over life and understands with ease The language of flowers and silent things! ~ Charles Baudelaire
True Things quotes by Charles Baudelaire
When you love someone, you don't care that she ate your sandwich. You only hope she found it delicious. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
True Things quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Follow your dreams as long as you live! Never be afraid to go out on the limb to live up to your expectations. Always do things your way and Have Fun! ~ Picabo Street
True Things quotes by Picabo Street
Today Tibe said he loves me, that he wants to marry me. I do not believe him. Why would he want such a thing? I am no one of consequence. No great beauty or intellect, no strength or power to aid his reign. I bring nothing to him but worry and weight. He needs someone strong at his side, a person who laughs at the gossips and overcomes her own doubts. Tibe is as weak as I am, a lonely boy without a path of his own. I will only make things worse. I will only bring him pain. How can I do that? ~ Victoria Aveyard
True Things quotes by Victoria Aveyard
The aggregate appearance is of dignity and dissoluteness. The aggregate voice is a defiant prayer. But the spirit of the whole is processional. The power, that has said to all these things that they are damned, is dogmatic science. But they'll march! The little harlots will caper and the freaks will distract the attention and the clowns will break the rhythm of the whole with their buffooneries. But the solidity of the procession as a whole, the solidity of things which pass and pass and pass, and keep on and keep on coming, the irresistibleness of things that neither threaten, nor jeer, nor defy, but arrange themselves in mass formations that pass and pass and keep on passing. So, by the damned, I mean the excluded. ~ Charles Fort
True Things quotes by Charles Fort
Because secrecy can become an addiction. That's been a problem as long as people have tried to covet power for themselves. Sure, governments need to keep some secrets, but too often the people inside the government create for themselves the illusion that because they know things nobody else does, it makes them more powerful. That kind of thinking creates a kind of contempt for anyone on the outside. It's born from a belief that their own power will diminish in direct proportion to the transparency of their actions. So secrets become the currency that buys them membership into a club so exclusive that their agendas are never shared, and the value of what the hold is measured only from a first-person perspective. ~ Jonathan Maberry
True Things quotes by Jonathan Maberry
It's the small things people do for others that define the largest parts of them. ~ Colleen Hoover
True Things quotes by Colleen Hoover
No matter how bad things become, they will eventually get better. In the end, the innate desire of all people for truth, justice and human understanding must triumph over ignorance and despair. So if the Chinese oppressed us, it could only strengthen us ~ Dalai Lama XIV
True Things quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
Love is a great thing. It is not by chance that in all times and practically among all cultured peoples love in the general senseand the love of a man for his wife are both called love. If love is often cruel or destructive, the reasons lie not in love itself, but in the inequality between people. ~ Anton Chekhov
True Things quotes by Anton Chekhov
That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it. Paulo Coelho ~ Paulo Coelho
True Things quotes by Paulo Coelho
It's all right that there are things that you do not get over, not really. You just go on, knowing that the things you love could be stripped from you at any moment, remembering to love them now.
It makes you human. You try to be decent and treat people gently, knowing that they, too, have their scars and madness that, like yours, do not show. ~ Joy Castro
True Things quotes by Joy Castro
Enjoyment is more subjective than evaluation. Whether you prefer peaches to pears is a question of taste, which is not quite true of whether you think Dostoevsky a more accomplished novelist than John Grisham. Dostoevsky is better than Grisham in the sense that Tiger Woods is a better golfer than Lady Gaga. ~ Terry Eagleton
True Things quotes by Terry Eagleton
She didn't believe there was anything like perfect, fairytale love. Most people were flawed and prone to mistakes. She thought herself a romantic but treated love with the same practicality she did most things. They'd had fall-outs and misunderstandings but she'd never been free to be herself like she was with Edward. She couldn't imagine being with another person after him. ~ Myne Whitman
True Things quotes by Myne Whitman
Not altogether a fool," said G., "but then he's a poet, which I take to be only one remove from a fool."
"True," said Dupin, after a long and thoughtful whiff from his meerschaum, "although I have been guilty of certain doggerel myself. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
True Things quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
Good things come to those who wait. English Proverb ~ Bey Deckard
True Things quotes by Bey Deckard
The true test of whether Mr. Obama has improved on the Bush era lies in how his administration justifies its decisions on the 241 remaining Guantanamo detainees, whose cases will now be evaluated internally and reviewed by the courts. ~ Noah Feldman
True Things quotes by Noah Feldman
Lyall felt he could not say which of two things was harder to put up with, the Abbot's conversational style, with its bland coherence and assumption of severely limited cogitative powers in the hearer, or his recurrent look of pleased surprise as each fresh piece of evidence of his wisdom or moral worth turned up, but between them they were likely to implant in certain minds a hardy seed of revolt. ~ Kingsley Amis
True Things quotes by Kingsley Amis
It is true that writers often owe their most inspired thoughts, their most extraordinary phrases, to their generous typesetters, who assist their flights of fancy with so-called typographical errors. ~ E.T.A. Hoffmann
True Things quotes by E.T.A. Hoffmann
We've found some things that are suspicious in nature, and we're going to err on the side of caution. ~ Bill Vaughan
True Things quotes by Bill Vaughan
When things aren't working out for people, the end of the world seems like an easy way to wipe the slate clean. ~ Evan Glodell
True Things quotes by Evan Glodell
We are all sent the dreams we yearn for, she thought; no matter how unhappy or fraught our waking world may be, we are sent dreams in which we can do the things the heart really wants us to do. ~ Alexander McCall Smith
True Things quotes by Alexander McCall Smith
But I also hoped that [she] had chosen California because she thought that was her true home, the place where she really belonged, where it was always warm and you could dance in the rain, pick grapes right off the vines, and sleep outside at night under the stars. ~ Jeannette Walls
True Things quotes by Jeannette Walls
There are some nights when you've spent so long analysing things that all that's left to do is get drunk. ~ Jane Costello
True Things quotes by Jane Costello
Walk without a stick into the darkest woods. Believe that the fairy tale is true. ~ Cheryl Strayed
True Things quotes by Cheryl Strayed
Big is beautiful" may be a clever slogan, but God still asks, "Who dares despise the day of small things?" (Zech.4:10)...A few loaves and fishes fed thousands. Little is much if God is in it. ~ Warren W. Wiersbe
True Things quotes by Warren W. Wiersbe
I'd clash with my dad over other things, you know, like difference of opinion and me getting testosterone, you know what I'm saying? Me feeling like I'm a little tough, being a teenager. But my big brother would come in drunk and really, really try my dad and I didn't want to do that. ~ Ryan Montgomery
True Things quotes by Ryan Montgomery
Our young people are out on the streets looking for parties, a place to dance, looking for a scene. No institutions are providing them with alternatives, fun things to do that don't necessarily have alcohol at the center. ~ Donna Shalala
