Text Quotes
We were terrified to stop, stop anything, and admit that something was wrong. Activity, frenzied activity, seemed to be the thing we all felt we needed. Only Dad slowed down, and that wasn't until he was trapped in a hospital getting intravenous antibiotics. Everything would be all right, everything would be possible, anything could be salvaged or averted, as long as we all kept running around (Would Be Quotes)
Faced by the actual practice of freedom, the French and American revolutions would be forced to stand by their words (Would Be Quotes)
I feel that any form of so called psychotherapy is strongly contraindicated for addicts. The question why did you start using narcotics in the first place? Should never be asked. It is quite as irrelevant to treatment as it would be to ask a malarial patient why he went to a malarial area (Would Be Quotes)
You know what enormous harm we have been dealt by the publication of Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago. Everybody who has read your book, everybody who has seen the reviews are convinced that the potential harm from your Life and Fate would be far more dangerous than that of Doctor Zhivago (Would Be Quotes)
One thing is certain: the call of Christ is always a promotion. Were Christ to call a king from his throne to preach the gospel to some tribe of aborigines, that king would be elevated above anything he had known before. Any movement toward Christ is ascent, and any direction away from Him is down (Would Be Quotes)
After Bill got his shot, a little color crept into his face and he would become almost coy. It was a gruesome sight. I remember once he told me how he'd been propositioned by a queer who offered him twenty dollars. Bill declined, saying "I don't think you would be very well satisfied. "Bill twitched his fleshless hips. "You should see me in the nude," he said. "I'm really cute." (Would Be Quotes)
In ordinary circumstances, I would have responded to such a command by sending up a reply that would have given Undine's mother a perm that would be truly everlasting, but I restrained myself (Would Be Quotes)
I have sometimes thought that I have been burdened with a pack of ten misfortunes, any one of which if borne by my neighbor would be enough to make a murderer out of him (Would Be Quotes)
I soon came to understand that drink, tobacco and prostitutes were all great means if dissipating (even for a few moments) my dread for human beings. I came even to feel that if I had to sell every last possession to obtain these means of escape, it would be well worth it (Would Be Quotes)
If man had his way, the plan of redemption would be an endless and bloody conflict. In reality, salvation was bought not by Jesus' fist, but by His nail-pierced hands; not by muscle but by love; not by vengeance but by forgiveness; not by force but by sacrifice. Jesus Christ our Lord surrendered in order that He might win; He destroyed His enemies by dying for them and conquered death by allowing death to conquer Him (Would Be Quotes)
Diamonds were nothing more than carbon, but carbon in a crystal lattice that made it the hardest known mineral in nature. That was the way we all were headed. I was sure of it. We were destined to be diamonds! How exciting it was to think that, long after the world had ended, whatever was left of our bodies would be transformed into a dazzling blizzard of diamond dust, blowing out towards eternity in the red glow of a dying sun (Would Be Quotes)
Unhappiness. There are all kinds of unhappy people in the world. I suppose it would be no exaggeration to say that the world is composed entirely of unhappy people. But those people can fight their unhappiness with society fairly and squarly, and society for its part easily understands and sympathizes with such struggles. My unhappiness stemmed entirely from my own vices, and I had no way of fighting anybody (Would Be Quotes)
Now, if faith is the gaze of the heart at God, and if this gaze is but the raising of the inward eyes to meet the all-seeing eyes of God, then it follows that it is one of the easiest things possible to do. It would be like God to make the most vital thing easy and place it within the range of possibility for the weakest and poorest of us (Would Be Quotes)
You many have noticed I have a temper... but when I calmed down, I realized that this world, blighted and imperfect as it is, would be better with you in it (Would Be Quotes)
It would be a terrific innovation if you could get your mind to stretch a little further than the next wisecrack (Would Be Quotes)
Lord, make me childlike. Deliver me from the urge to compete with another for place or prestige or position. I would be simple and artless as a little child. Deliver me from pose and pretense. Forgive me for thinking of myself. Help me to forget myself and find my true peace in beholding Thee. That Thou mayest answer this prayer I humble myself before Thee. Lay upon me Thy easy yoke of self-forgetfulness that through it I may find rest. Amen (Would Be Quotes)
But that is not to say that there might not be someone in the world - I do not say I have seen him yet - whom I would be a little afraid to look at sometimes - for fear that he might be looking sad - or lost - or thoughtful, or - what, you know, might seem the worst of all - brooding on some private anger or hurt and so not knowing or caring if I looked at him at all (Would Be Quotes)
I should protect and cherish the young, the old, and the infirm, because at some point I would be all of these things before my own journey ended (Would Be Quotes)
If we were to understand how important it is to say something and say it well, maybe we wouldn't write a single word, but that would be tragic (Would Be Quotes)
Entering a cell, penetrating deep as a flying saucer to find a new galaxy would be an honorable task for a new scientist interested more in the inner state of the soul than in outer space (Would Be Quotes)
Education would be much more effective if its purpose was to ensure that by the time they leave school every boy and girl should know how much they do not know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it (Would Be Quotes)
A compliment would be the last thing out of my mouth to a man who was so pigheaded that he could be served at a luau (Would Be Quotes)
School would be way more tolerable if everyone wasn't so afraid to be who they really are. And if everyone else would let them (Would Be Quotes)
Our circumstance is abject, indefensible, and terrifying. It would be hilarious if the stakes were not so high (Would Be Quotes)
But he instantly saw that it would be impossible for him to escape from the regiment. It inclosed him. And there were iron laws of tradition and law on four sides. He was in a moving box (Would Be Quotes)
This would be my torture: all that didn't bear thinking about would devote itself to forcing me to bear thinking about it (Would Be Quotes)
Democrats never agree on anything, that's why they're Democrats. If they agreed with each other, they would be Republicans (Would Be Quotes)
You have no idea how much nastier I would be if I was not a Catholic. Without supernatural aid I would hardly be a human being (Would Be Quotes)
I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off (Would Be Quotes)
If all the time consumed in attending dinners and luncheons was consumed in some work, the production of this country would be doubled (Would Be Quotes)
