Wrapped Up Quotes

The way you overcome shyness is to become so wrapped up in something that you forget to be afraid Picture Quote #1

That’s the thing with the young these days, isn’t it? They watch too many happy endings. Everything has to be wrapped up, with a smile and a tear and a wave. Everyone has learned, found love, seen the error of their ways, discovered the joys of monogamy, or fatherhood, or filial duty, or life itself. In my day, people got shot at the end of films, after learning only that life is hollow, dismal, brutish, and short Picture Quote #1

I think you get so wrapped up in the book you’re currently writing, it’s hard to think about anything else. But I know as soon as I’m done with this book, I’ll move on to something else Picture Quote #1

To be interested in the public good we must be disinterested, that is, not interested in goods in which our personal selves are wrapped up Picture Quote #1

Everything worthwhile, everything of any value, has its price. Everything anyone has ever wanted has come neatly wrapped up in its penalties Picture Quote #1

Every other sect supposes itself in possession of the truth, and that those who differ are so far in the wrong. Like a man traveling in foggy weather they see those at a distance before them wrapped up in a fog, as well as those behind them, and also people in the fields on each side; but near them, all appears clear, though in truth they are as much in the fog as any of them Picture Quote #1

If you like to make things out of wood, or sew, or dance, or style people’s hair, or dream up stories and act them out, or play the trumpet, or jump rope, or whatever you really love to do, and you love that in front of your children, that’s going to be a far more important gift than anything you could ever give them wrapped up in a box with ribbons Picture Quote #1

We feel cold, but we don’t mind it, because we will not come to harm. And if we wrapped up against the cold, we wouldn’t feel other things, like the bright tingle of the stars, or the music of the aurora, or best of all the silky feeling of moonlight on our skin. It’s worth being cold for that Picture Quote #1

My fear represented the failure of the human system. It is a sad truth of our creation: Something is amiss in our design, there are loose ends of our psychology that are simply not wrapped up. My fears were the dirty secrets of evolution. They were not provided for, and I was forced to construct elaborate temples to house them Picture Quote #1

I think that it’s not as crazily different, my job, from anyone else’s, as people let themselves believe. I think people get wrapped up in their own idea of what it is, but it’s really not that Picture Quote #1

It is true that going out on to the street implies the risk of accidents happening, as they would to any ordinary man or woman. But if the church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age. And if I had to choose between a wounded church that goes out on to the streets and a sick, withdrawn church, I would definitely choose the first one Picture Quote #1

It is the focus on the highest ideal day after day that saves life from being wrapped up in small whirlwinds Picture Quote #1

I wondered if that was true: if they were all really children wrapped up in adult bodies, like children’s books hidden in the middle of dull, long adult books, the kind with no pictures or conversations Picture Quote #1

As for radio and movies, I like the movies better, although the work is much harder. The cinema has microphone technique, staging, and glamour all wrapped up into one Picture Quote #1

There’s not a platinum record hanging in my house anywhere. It doesn’t exist here. I’m over it. They’re all in the garage, wrapped up in bubblewrap Picture Quote #1

This rolling in the dust this buckling to power, whether wrapped up in an individual or a party, I have long since abandoned. I strike out boldly, as if born in a desert and looking for civilization Picture Quote #1

How do I not get so wrapped up in what I think needs to happen? Going with the flow is the way to do it Picture Quote #1

If I get to wrapped up in how I have to be, or what I have to do, things gradually get worse and worse Picture Quote #1
