Text Quotes
The biggest ingredient in a best friend is someone whose actions you respect and who you can truly be yourself around  (Whose Quotes) I don’t think that I’ve had a career like anyone else’s, but there are hosts and hosts of actors whose careers I admire  (Whose Quotes) America is great not because it’s a team. America is great because it is a nation whose founding documents elevated the rights of the individual  (Whose Quotes) There are indeed all sorts of men/ who visit here: those who want/ nothing but to talk or hear the soft tones/ of a woman’s voice; others prefer/ simply to gaze upon me, my face/ turned from them as they touch/ only themselves. And then there are those,/ of course, whose desires I cannot commit/ to paper  (Whose Quotes) The horror of class stratification, racism, and prejudice is that some people begin to believe that the security of their families and communities depends on the oppression of others, that for some to have good lives there must be others whose lives are truncated and brutal  (Whose Quotes) There’s a moment when love makes you believe in death for the first time. You recognize the one whose loss, even contemplated, you’ll carry forever, like a sleeping child. All grief, anyone’s grief... is the weight of a sleeping child  (Whose Quotes) How hard is it, when everything encourages us to sleep, though we may look about us with conscious, clinging eyes, to wake and yet look about us as in a dream, with eyes that no longer know their function and whose gaze is turned inward  (Whose Quotes) The power of resistance is to set an example: not necessarily to change the person with whom you disagree, but to empower the one who is watching and whose growth is not yet completed, whose path is not at all clear, whose direction is still very much up in the proverbial air  (Whose Quotes) Most inexperienced cooks believe, mistakenly, that a fine cake is less challenging to produce than a fine souffle or mousse. I know, however, that a good cake is like a good marriage: from the outside, it looks ordinary, sometimes unremarkable, yet cut into it, taste it, and you know that it is nothing of the sort. It is the sublime result oflong and patient experience, a confection whose success relies on a profound understanding of compatibilities and tastes; on a respect for measurement, balance, chemistry and heat; on a history of countless errors overcome  (Whose Quotes) It was true that the city could still throw shadows filled with mystifying figures from its past, whose grip on the present could be felt on certain strange days, when the streets were dark with rain and harmful ideas  (Whose Quotes) I don’t trust society to protect us, I have no intention of placing my fate in the hands of men whose only qualification is that they managed to con a block of people to vote for them  (Whose Quotes) Then I could not help wondering what the watching gods thought of us, with our clever masks and our jokes. What we think of crickets, perhaps, whose singing we hear with pleasure, though some of us smash them with our heels when they venture into sight  (Whose Quotes) It’s not surprising that truly humanitarian manifestos originate frequently in minority circles or with people whose consciences are troubled by the problems of minorities  (Whose Quotes) I am an emotional plagiarist, stealing other people’s pain, subsuming it into my own until I can’t remember whose it is any more  (Whose Quotes) It’s a stark thought that when we die most of us will leave behind uneaten biscuits, unused coffee, half toilet rolls, half cartons of milk in the fridge to go sour; that everyday functional things will outlive us and prove that we weren’t ready to go; that we weren’t smart or knowing or heroic; that we were just animals whose animal bodies stopped working without any sort of schedule or any consent from us  (Whose Quotes) There are the those whose own vulgar normality is so apparent and stultifying that they strive to escape it. They affect flamboyant behaviour and claim originality according to the fashionable eccentricities of their time. They claim brains or talent or indifference to mores in desperate attempts to deny their own mediocrity  (Whose Quotes) There’s always someone who cares. Someone whose life would simply stop. You just don’t know it yet, or you haven’t found them yet  (Whose Quotes) At the age of twelve I had an attitude toward life that was to endure, that was to make me seek those areas of living that would keep it alive, that was to make me skeptical of everything while seeking everything, tolerant of all and yet critical. The spirit I had caught gave me insight into the suffering of others, made me gravitate toward those whose feelings were like my own, made me sit for hours while others told me of their lives, made me strangely tender and cruel, violent and peaceful  (Whose Quotes) There are generations yet unborn, whose very lives will be shifted and shaped by the moves you make and the actions you take  (Whose Quotes) Passing in any crowd are secret people whose hidden response to beauty is the desire to tear it into bleeding meat  (Whose Quotes) I joined the army to avenge the deaths of my family and to survive, but I’ve come to learn that if I am going to take revenge, in that process I will kill another person whose family will want revenge; then revenge and revenge and revenge will never come to an end  (Whose Quotes) Novels, since the birth of the genre, have been full of rejected, seduced, and abandoned maidens, whose proper fate is to die  (Whose Quotes) Like our parents always told us not to like firefighters warn against we’re playing games and making the rules up as we go we’re matching warmth to warmth starting fires burning wishes into our skin we’re hidden holding forbidden lights we’re children whose fathers have never taught never touch but we’re finding these new flames we smother at the sound of footsteps  (Whose Quotes) People think librarians are unromantic, unimaginative. This is not true. We are people whose dreams run in particular ways. Ask a mountain climber what he feels when he sees a mountain; a lion tamer what goes through his mind when he meets a new lion; a doctor confronted with a beautiful malfunctioning body. The idea of a library full of books, the books full of knowledge, fills me with fear and love and courage and endless wonder  (Whose Quotes) The universal pervasion of ugliness, hideous landscapes, vile noises, foul language... everything. Unnatural, broken, blasted; the distortion of the dead, whose unburiable bodies sit outside the dug outs all day, all night, the most execrable sights on earth. In poetry we call them the most glorious  (Whose Quotes) It doesn’t matter what people want to hear. It doesn’t matter if people like you. It doesn’t matter if the whole world thinks you’re crazy. It doesn’t matter whose heart you break. What matters is the truth  (Whose Quotes) We did that often, asking each other questions whose answers we already knew. Perhaps it was so that we would not ask the other questions, the ones whose answers we did not want to know  (Whose Quotes) ... History it seemed could be something entirely different a splash of blood whose agony didn’t fade overnight or over centuries  (Whose Quotes) They lived the slow and invisible interpenetration of their universes, like two stars gravitating around a common axis, in ever tighter orbits, whose clear destiny is to coalesce at some point in space and time  (Whose Quotes) My favourite pub game is, of course, snooker. Any game whose rules basically amount to finding a table covered in mess and slowly and methodically putting it all away out of sight is one with which I can empathise emphatically  (Whose Quotes)
