Death is given in a kiss the dearest kindnesses are fatal and into this life, where one thing preys upon another, the child too often makes its entrance from the mother's corpse.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
Sinners often speak the truth. And saints have led people astray. Examine what is said, not the one who says it.
Anthony de Mello
Image
Where hopes are unrealistic, fears often become exaggerated where dreams alone are blueprints, nightmares result.
Anthony Daniels
Image
Love has the power to...cure, to heal, to calm, to change and to unite. Use this power often.
Anthony D. Williams
Image
Since I'm a fan of collections and anthologies, believe that the best writing often shines in shards and galloping stretches, I never find myself lobbying for a writer I enjoy reading regularly to hole up in Heidegger's hut for four or five years to bring forth a mountain.
James Wolcott
Image
What critics often ask for is the impossible, though this may be a salutary means of extending the borders of art.
Anthony Burgess
Image
I was very lighthearted. This often the way when the abandonment of personal responsibility is enforced: neither wronged innocence or just guilt can seriously impair the sensation of freedom one has.
Anthony Burgess
Image
Good food is very often, even most often, simple food.
Anthony Bourdain
Image
People will tell you most of the story… and I’ve learned that the part they neglect to tell you is often the most important part. People hide the truth because they’re afraid.
Nicholas Sparks
Image
She was a triumph over ugliness, so often more beguiling than real beauty, if only because it contains paradox. In this case, as opposed to the scrupulous method of good taste and scientific grooming, the trick had been worked by exaggerating defects she'd made them ornamental by admitting them boldly.
Truman Capote
Image
I work as often as I want and yet I'm free as a bird
Ethel Merman
Image
There is often as much independence in not being led as in not being driven.
Tryon Edwards
Image
We should be as careful of the books we read, as of the company we keep. The dead very often have more power than the living.
Tryon Edwards
Image
Any act often repeated soon forms a habit and habit allowed, steady gains in strength, At first it may be but as a spider's web, easily broken through, but if not resisted it soon binds us with chains of steel.
Tryon Edwards
Image
Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another - too often ending in the loss of both.
Tryon Edwards
Image
I don't have any problem with Mao or Stalin or the Vietnamese leaders or certainly Fidel locking up people they see as dangerous. Because so often, dissidence has been used by the greater powers to undermine a people's revolution.
Lynne Stewart
Image
I rarely use the internet for research, as I find the process cumbersome and detestable. The information gained is often untrustworthy and couched in execrable prose. It is unpleasant to sit in front of a twitching screen suffering assault by virus, power outage, sluggish searches, system crashes and the lack of direct human discourse.
Annie Proulx
Image
Loneliness had taught Harriet that there was always someone who understood - it was just so often that they were dead, and in a book.
Eva Ibbotson
Image
Hollywood is not known as a culture of grace. Dog-eat-dog is more like it. People love you one day and hate you the next. Personal value is very much attached to box office revenues and the unpredictable and often cruel winds of fashion.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
As for the largest-hearted of us, what is the word we write most often in our cheque-books? Self.
Eden Phillpotts
Image
It is not often given in a noisy world to come to the places of great grief and silence.
Sarah Orne Jewett
Image
Fill an author with a titanic fame and you do not make him titanic you often merely burst him.
Frank Moore Colby
Image
Jeremiah is a most melancholy prophet. He wails from beginning to end he is often childish, is rarely indecent, and although it may be blasphemy to say so, he and his 'Lamentations' are really not worth reading.
Annie Besant
Image
As a leader, it is often better to ask the right questions and listen than to have all the answers.
Robert S. Kaplan
