And they need not cause you grief. As my Highland grandmother said, and she had the Sight-Tis not the dead ye have to be concerned about! Beware of the Living! And she was a wise woman. The dead are beyond your help or mine, poor things. But the living need us. Thirty souls at the least, Phryne, are still on that island to praise God who might now be angels-or devils. ~Kerry Greenwood

"A woman doesn't want to be told she looks nice," Jude nuttered as she sat down beside maud's grave. "She wants to be told she's beautiful, sexy. That she looks outrageous. It dosen't matter if its not true." She sighed and laid the flowers against the headstone. "Because for the moment, when the words are said and the words are heard, it's perfect truth." ~Nora Roberts

As teenagers, Marcus had been the muscle and Jake the brains. Marcus had beat up the kids who'd made fun of skinny Jake; Jake had convinced teachers not to punish him. Since then, Marcus had grown a brain and Jake had developed muscles. But habits die hard. ~Gena Showalter

Out of the choked Devonian waters emerged sight and sound and the music that rolls invisible through the composer's brain. They are there still in the ooze along the tideline, though no one notices. The world is fixed, we say, fish in the sea, birds in the air. But in the mangrove swamps by the Niger, fish climb trees and ogle uneasy naturalists who try unsuccessfully to chase them back to the water. There are things still coming ashore. ~Loren Eiseley
#quotes #loren-eiseley #nature
The representational-image urge is actually a kind of heightened perception, and I don't stop to think. I don't freeze up, it's actually a kind of letting-go. It's like dancing. At a certain point it's conscious, unconscious, everything is kind of coming together. ~Michael Light

I have a string of competitiveness in me. It's really strange cause it's not something that I would even expect myself to have, but every now and then it kinda sneaks out, you know. ~Hunter Hayes

We're supposed to be making up this stuff, playing at being in love, not actually being in love. ~Suzanne Collins
#quotes #suzanne-collins #love
The way life runs through everything, even the tiniest elements of nature; that makes me humble. It's the same humility that causes people at a certain time every day to get on their knees and put their foreheads on the ground in honor of something or someone. ~Michael J. Fox
#quotes #michael-j-fox #nature #life #humility
I must go on living. And, though it may be childish of me, I can't go on in simple compliance. From now on I must struggle with the world. I thought that Mother might well be the last of those who can end their lives beautifully and sadly, struggling with no one, neither hating nor betraying anyone. In the world to come there will be no room for such people. The dying are beautiful, but to live, to survive; those things somehow seem hideous and contaminated with blood. ~Osamu Dazai

The person who gets stuck on trivial prosperity, will not attain great prosperity. ~Tibetan Proverb

A natural way that an economist approaches a problem is to say, here's where I think the economy is going; this is what we need to deal with the problem. ~Christina Romer
