Yes Quotes

Uh, you all haven’t asked this, but I will go ahead and tell you this. Do I think I’m the one that killed this kid? Yes... Uh, if it wasn’t this kid I killed, then there’s a murder out there that, that we still ain’t undug yet Picture Quote #1

Conformities are called for much more eagerly today than yesterday... skeptics, liberals, individuals with a taste for private life and their own inner standards of behavior, are objects of fear and derision and targets of persecution for either side... in the great ideological wars of our time Picture Quote #1

Yes, the first draft is the key. That’s why I put so much energy, focus, and attention on the first draft, because I respect that first go at the story. If I don’t have the key in that first draft, I invariably won’t get it in subsequent drafts, though I can craft around it Picture Quote #1

Think of a single word. We’ll use soul as our example. How do you define soul? Is it the same definition I use? Can it ever be it? My soul is not your soul. Our souls, our definitions, are shaped by the singular and cumulative experiences in our lives, the emotional weight we attach to a concept forever locked in the space behind our own eyes Picture Quote #1

And I would stop and take you in, all of you, and when our eyes lock we’d just stare into each other’s souls and all of the lost time would come out in the shape of a big smile, a few tears and a tight hug that feels like... I don’t know, it would feel like home Picture Quote #1

The twin guardian angels whose eyes and hands and wings had focused protective attention on the souls that lay there no longer faced each other. They stared blindly into a random middle distance. The scroll they held between them proclaiming eternal resurrection was broken in two Picture Quote #1

She was white, perhaps too white. Her eyes, which were almost always cast down, when she raised them testified to the purest of souls, and when she smiled, revealing her small, white teeth, one might be tempted to say that a rose is merely a plant, and ivory just an elephant’s tusk Picture Quote #1

The scientific method... is nothing but the exclusion of subjective opinions as far as possible, by the devising of experiments where observation can give objective answers, yes or no, to questions whether events are causally connected Picture Quote #1

In the course of time I have learned to tramp about coral reefs, twenty to thirty feet under water, so unconcernedly that I can pay attention to particular definite things. But after all my silly fears have been allayed, even now, with eyes overflowing with surfeit of color, I am still almost inarticulate. We need a whole new vocabulary, new adjectives, adequately to describe the designs and colors of under sea Picture Quote #1

... the only other place comparable to these marvelous nether regions, must surely be naked space itself, out far beyond atmosphere, between the stars, where sunlight has no grip upon the dust and rubbish of planetary air, where the blackness of space, the shining planets, comets, suns, and stars must really be closely akin to the world of life as it appears to the eyes of an awed human being, in the open ocean, one half mile down Picture Quote #1

As he rounded the corner, he saw two dozen men, naked to the waist, digging a hole thirty yards square at the side of the path. For a moment he was baffled. It seemed to have no agricultural purpose; there was no more planting or ploughing to be done. Then he realized what it was. They were digging a mass grave. He thought of shouting an order to about turn or at least to avert their eyes, but they were almost on it, and some of them had already seen their burial place. The songs died on their lips and the air was reclaimed by the birds Picture Quote #1

I became an ifrit to save the lives of my fellow jinn. What kind of life saver would I be if I let you sit here and wither away in paradise? Just an obstacle. Just an obstacle. I meet the ifrit’s eyes. What happened to all your talk about birds and fish having nowhere to live? The ifrit shrugs. I suggest you start holding your breath, my friend, he says, then pushes through the hearing room doors Picture Quote #1

Mr. Jamrach led me through the lobby and into the menagerie. The first was a parrot room, a fearsome screaming place of mad round eyes, crimson breasts that beat against bars, wings that flapped against their neighbours, blood red, royal blue, gypsy yellow, grass green. The birds were crammed along perches. Macaws hung upside down here and there, batting their white eyes, and small green parrots flittered above our heads in drifts. A hot of cockatoos looked down from on high over the shrill madness, high crested, creamy breasted. The screeching was like laughter in hell Picture Quote #1

It is ridiculous to think that you can spend your entire life with just one person. Three is about the right number. Yes, I imagine three husbands would do it? Picture Quote #1

I think that was one of the biggest revelations is that leisure is really in the eyes of the beholder Picture Quote #1

Lift up your eyes, discouraged one. When you feel like giving up, when they say it can’t be done, it’s up to you to show them why they’re wrong Picture Quote #1

All we are is eyes looking for the unbroken or the edges where the broken bits might fit each other Picture Quote #1

Advertising is poison gas. It should bring tears to your eyes, unhinge your nervous system and knock you out Picture Quote #1

In this life, y’ever notice that you face the same challenges again and again? We all do. They’re challenges to your soul. We repeat them until we face them and master them. Yes we all have free will, but there’re divine patterns out there, and the battle is to see them Picture Quote #1

I live now and only now, and I will do what I want to do this moment and not what I decided was best for me yesterday Picture Quote #1

No problem. You are not crazier than you were yesterday. It has always been this way, and you just never noticed Picture Quote #1

Praying is not about asking; it’s about listening... It is just opening your eyes to see what was there all along Picture Quote #1

Prayer is the best answer to all of the trials that face us, because without prayer, even if we succeed in accomplishing some great goal in the eyes of men, we have failed in our sacred responsibilities, and thus we have failed in what is truly important Picture Quote #1

Yes, being educated is definitely an advantage. But having said that, I’ve met so many people in life who haven’t done very well at school but who are still really bright Picture Quote #1

The people around you are mirrors, I think. You see yourself reflected in their eyes. If the mirror is true, and smooth, you see your true self. That’s how you learn who you are Picture Quote #1

Each of us from the seance stood alone. Like so many pillars of salt, we had tried to look back and failed. And in the eyes of the others who shared the pale, flat sky with us, there was sometimes suspicion, sometimes a little fear Picture Quote #1

If you don’t want to be scared in a horror film, don’t close your eyes. Close your ears Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the easiest way to appreciate ourselves is by looking through the eyes of someone who loves us Picture Quote #1

Motherhood has taught me the meaning of living in the moment and being at peace. Children don’t think about yesterday, and they don’t think about tomorrow. They just exist in the moment Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you have to bite the bullet. Not only must you learn to accept their gaze with your eyes but also with your heart Picture Quote #1
