Text Quotes
Life isn’t long enough to do all you could accomplish. And what a privilege even to be alive. In spite of all the pollutions and horrors, how beautiful this world is. Supposing you only saw the stars once every year. Think what you would think. The wonder of it!  (Wonder Quotes) You know, you hear about these movements for women, and for children, and for people who are any race but white, and you think that it’s about time that men got a movement. Think about it. Guys can’t play the piano, or dance, or sing. We can’t cry, or be too happy, or show any emotion for that matter. The only thing we have left to us is anger, and even that we have to bottle up. Boys should be able to express what they feel and not have to endure people laughing at them, forcing them to wonder if they’re gay or not, just because they like to paint  (Wonder Quotes) I wonder if being sane means disregarding the chaos that is life, pretending only an infinitesimal segment of it is reality  (Wonder Quotes) My religion is nature. That’s what arouses those feelings of wonder and mysticism and gratitude in me  (Wonder Quotes) I wonder if children don’t begin to reject both poetry and religion for similar reasons, because the way both are taught takes the life out of them  (Wonder Quotes) What was it about not knowing a person that allowed you to wonder whether she might be the answer to all your problems?  (Wonder Quotes) And little he knew of the things that ink may do, how it can mark a dead man’s thought for the wonder of later years, and tell of happening that are gone clean away, and be a voice for us out of the dark of time, and save many a fragile thing from the pounding of heavy ages; or carry to us, over the rolling centuries, even a song from lips long dead on forgotten hills  (Wonder Quotes) How far I’ve come! I’m the same girl and yet not the same. I wonder if it’s always like that? Folks keep growing from one person into another all their lives, and life is just a lot of everyday adventures. Well, whatever life is, I like it  (Wonder Quotes) I’m no longer a child and I still want to be, to live with the pirates. Because I want to live forever in wonder. The difference between me as a child and me as an adult is this and only this: when I was a child, I longed to travel into, to live in wonder. Now, I know, as much as I can know anything, that to travel into wonder is to be wonder. So it matters little whether I travel by plane, by rowboat, or by book. Or, by dream. I do not see, for there is no I to see. That is what the pirates know. There is only seeing and, in order to go to see, one must be a pirate  (Wonder Quotes) I wonder if there was anything I would have done differently. I hope I would have done everything differently, except I know everything would have turned out the same. That’s the meaning of fate  (Wonder Quotes) People aim for the stars, and they end up like goldfish in a bowl. I wonder if it wouldn’t be simpler just to teach children right from the start that life is absurd  (Wonder Quotes) In the end, I wonder if the true movement of the world might not be a voice raised in song  (Wonder Quotes) ... what will we someday do, I always wonder, without the pleasures of turning through books and stumbling on things we never meant to find?  (Wonder Quotes) It was a truth that invaded her, like a dark disease, a truth too painful to talk about. And I was beginning to wonder if all I was doing was making it worse  (Wonder Quotes) As I examine my life through this book, I can’t help but wonder if my mother was right. Maybe I really was what I ate. And maybe if she’d let me eat a little more sugar, I’d have come out sweeter  (Wonder Quotes) To grow up is to wonder about things; to be grown up is to slowly forget the things you wondered about as a child  (Wonder Quotes) I looked at the cards in my hand, the queen of hearts nestled between the king of clubs and the king of spades. No wonder she was smiling  (Wonder Quotes) Sometimes I wonder how normal normal people are, and I wonder that most in the grocery store  (Wonder Quotes) In a world so redolent with wonder, how can we allow ourselves to conduct our daily lives with so little insight, such absence of dignity?  (Wonder Quotes) She felt as if she had strayed into a fairy tale, as full of peril as of wonder, a place where anything could happen  (Wonder Quotes) It’s no wonder we don’t defend the land where we live. We don’t live here. We live in television programs and movies and books and with celebrities and in heaven and by rules and laws and abstractions created by people far away and we live anywhere and everywhere except in our particular bodies on this particular land at this particular moment in these particular circumstances  (Wonder Quotes) People think that children don’t know anything. It’s enough to make you wonder if grownups were ever children once upon a time  (Wonder Quotes) I wonder how many ways there are for a mother to produce that wreckage in her own daughter, and my muscles tense as I think of them  (Wonder Quotes) We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes our expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still. The expected’s just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives  (Wonder Quotes) I could not but wonder at the queen’s unprecedented civility, until I realized with a flush of shame that it was my own improved behavior that motivated hers. So it is that we in life determine our own treatment  (Wonder Quotes) And wonder, dread and war have lingered in that land where loss and love in turn have held the upper hand  (Wonder Quotes) I think fantasy is best described as a kind of fiction that evokes wonder, mystery or magic, a sense of possibility beyond the ordinary world in which we live, and yet which reflects and comments upon that known world  (Wonder Quotes) Within my heart a garden grows, wild with violets and fragrant rose. bright daffodils line the narrow path, my footsteps silent as I pass. sweet tulips nod their heads in rest; I kneel in prayer to seek gods best. for round my garden a fence stands firm to guard my heart so I can learn who should enter, and who should wait on the other side of my locked gate. I clasp the key around my neck and wonder if the time is yet. if I unlocked the gate today, would you come in? or run away?  (Wonder Quotes) It’s a strange sensation to live inside another person’s life, to wonder all the time what he is doing, or thinking or feeling  (Wonder Quotes) We were born of risen apes, not fallen angels, and the apes were armed killers besides. And so what shall we wonder at? Our murders and massacres and missiles, and our irreconcilable regiments?  (Wonder Quotes)
