Favorite Pip Great Expectations Quotes

1. "Every adult life could be said to be defined by two great love stories. The first - the story of our quest for sexual love - is well known and well charted, its vagaries form the staple of music and literature, it is socially accepted and celebrated. The second - the story of our quest for love from the world - is a more secret and shameful tale. If mentioned, it tends to be in caustic, mocking terms, as something of interest chiefly to envious or deficient souls, or else the drive for status is interpreted in an economic sense alone. And yet this second love story is no less intense than the first, it is no less complicated, important or universal, and its setbacks are no less painful. There is heartbreak here too."
Author: Alain De Botton
2. "We learn of great things by little experiences."
Author: Bram Stoker
3. "That buy is totally cracked out," Vic said one day, as we walked past Balthazar in the great hall.I don't think he's on alything."I didn't mean, for real. If he was cracked out for real, he'd probably be having more fun, right?" Vic shrugged. "Balty looks like he's not having any fun. He looks like he never had any. Like he wouldn't know fun if it started dancing around yelling 'I'm fun' in his face."
Author: Claudia Gray

Perhaps, then, there is something to his advice that I should cease looking back so much, that I should adopt a more positive outlook and try to make the best of what remains of my day. After all, what can we ever gain in forever looking back and blaming ourselves if our lives have not turned out quite as we might have wished?"
Author: Kazuo Ishiguro

11. "Mentors and apprentices are partners in an ancient human dance, and one of teaching's great rewards is the daily chance it gives us to get back on the dance floor. It is the dance of the spiraling generations, in which the old empower the young with their experience and the young empower the old with new life, reweaving the fabric of the human community as they touch and turn."
Author: Parker J. Palmer
12. "Its big men are mostly little men with fancy offices and a lot of money. A great many of them are stupid little men, with reach-me-down brains, small-town arrogance and a sort of animal knack of smelling out the taste of the stupidest part of the public. They have played in luck so long that they have come to mistake luck for enlightenment." - on Hollywood"
Author: Raymond Chandler
13. "When our hopes for performance are not completely met, realistic optimism involves accepting what cannot now be changed, rather than condemning or second-guessing ourselves. Focusing on the successful aspects of performance (even when the success is modest) promotes positive affect, reduces self-doubt, and helps to maintain motivation (e.g., McFarland & Ross, 1982).... Nevertheless, realistic optimism does not include or imply expectations that things will improve on their own. Wishful thinking of this sort typically has no reliable supporting evidence. Instead, the opportunity-seeking component of realistic optimism motivates efforts to improve future performances on the basis of what has been learned from past performances."
Author: Sandra L. Schneider
14. "They walked to school, talking about how much they were longing for the summer holidays."Oh, I am planning things," said Jamie. "Great, great things. I could join a band.""You gave up the guitar after two lessons.""Well," he said, "I could be a backup dancer.""Backup dancers have to wear belly shirts and glitter," said Mae. "So obviously, I support this plan."

Today's Quote

KELIMELERKelimelere dikkat et,Özellikle mucizevi olanlara.Mucizevi olanlar için en iyisini yapariz, Bazen böcek sürüsü gibi toplanirlarSokmazlar ama bir öpücük birakirlar.Parmaklar kadar iyi olabilirler.Oturdugun kaya kadar güvenilir...Ayni zamanda hem papatyalar hem de yaralar gibi...Sözcüklere asigim, evet.Tavandan sarkan kugular onlar,Kucagimda duran alti kutsal portakal,Agaçlar onlar, yazin bacaklari, Ve günes, onun tutkulu yüzü. Genellikle yanilttilar beni.Söylemek istedigim çok sey vardi,Çok fazla hikaye, görüntü, atasözü ve saire...Ama kelimeler yeterince iyi degil.Yanlis olanlari öptü beni. Bazen bir kartal gibi uçarimAma bir çalikusunun kanatlariyla. Yine de dikkat etmeye çalisirimVe onlara nazik davranmaya. Kelimeler ve yumurtalar dikkatle tasinmalidir.Bir kere kirildilar mi, tamiri imkansizdir."
Author: Anne Sexton
