Quotes Of The Day ~~~ x333

Today, I've decided not to write anything of my own, nothing fancy; just some timeless touches of irony encased in simplicity. Well, come on, give it a guess!........

Yes, that's right! Quotations! Some by the greatest English poet of all times, some by the most influential Greek philosopher and polymath the world has ever heard of, some derived from the international best-selling novel, The Lovely Bones and some......barely known, but still impeccable. Now, may I present to all of you.....my very first 'Quotes Of The Day'!

Put yourself in their shoes before you decide on the best way to take their shirts.
-David Sklansky

The first rule of holes: when you're in one, stop digging.
-Molly Ivins

The test of a book's quality is not if it reflects my life, but if it reflects yours.
E.L Doctorow

Anybody can become angry-that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way-that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.
-Aristotle

Dignity consists not in possessing honors, but in the consciousness that we deserve them.
-Aristotle

We are what we repeatedly do.
-Aristotle

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
-William Shakespeare

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.
-William Shakespeare

Watch out what faces you make. You'll freeze that way.
-Derived from The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

Because horror on Earth is real and it is everyday. It is like a flower or like the sun; it cannot be contained.
-Derived from The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

You hold on to death tightly, like a rope that will transport you, and you swing on it, hoping only to land away from where you are.
-Derived from The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

At the tips of feathers there is air and at their base: blood. I hold up bones; I wish like broken glass they could court light...still I try to place these pieces back together, to set them firm, to make murdered girls live again.
-Derived from The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

You don't notice the dead leaving when they really choose to leave you. You're not meant to. At most you feel them as a whisper or the wave of a whisper undulating down. I would compare it to a woman in the back of a lecture hall or theater whom no one notices until she slips out. Then only those near the door themselves, like Grandma Lynn, notice; to the rest it is just like an unexplained breeze in a closed room.
-Derived from The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

I could do nothing - trapped in my perfect world.
-Derived from The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

Murder had a blood red door on the other side of which was everything unimaginable to everyone.
-Derived from The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

My mother's eyes were oceans, and inside them there was loss. I thought I had my whole life to understand them, but that was the only day I had. Once upon Earth I saw her as Abigail, and then I let it slip effortlessly back-my fascination held in check by wanting her to be that mother and envelop me as that mother.
-Derived from The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
