Image
I already, and for weeks afterward, felt my nature the coarser for this part of my woodland experience, and was reminded that ourlife should be lived as tenderly and daintily as one would pluck a flower.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
If I won a few billion in the lottery, I would create an institute where people who would like to die would come spend a weekend, a week, or a month in pleasure, under drugs perhaps, in order to disappear afterward, as if erased.
Michel Foucault
Image
A lot of people say they love running because of how they feel afterward. Not me. Well, I love that, too, but it's also so much fun while I'm out there.
Dick Beardsley
Image
I think you learn more from looking at how things occurred and what happened afterward, not just at the event
John Turturro
Image
Jokes can be noble. Laughs are exactly as honorable as tears. Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion, to the futility of thinking and striving anymore. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward - and since I can start thinking and striving again that much sooner.
Kurt Vonnegut
Image
She screamed, the high scream that was neither human nor animal but something terrible in between, the sort of sound that you never forget no matter how many beautiful things you hear afterward.
Maggie Stiefvater
Image
This is a boy's lot: anything he does, anything whatever, may afterward turn out to have been a crime - he never knows. And punishment and clemency are alike inexplicable.
Booth Tarkington
Image
I saw the destruction of Dresden. I saw the city before and then came out of an air-raid shelter and saw it afterward, and certainly one response was laughter. God knows, that's the soul seeking some relief.
Kurt Vonnegut
Image
A man's delight in looking forward to and hoping for some particular satisfaction is a part of the pleasure flowing out of it, enjoyed in advance. But this is afterward deducted, for the more we look forward to anything the less we enjoy it when it comes.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Literature exists so that where one man has lived finely ten thousand may afterward live finely
Arnold Bennett
Image
Chance is the first step you take, luck is what comes afterward.
Amy Tan
Image
The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
But what I realize, here, now, is that it's not actually making the choice that takes courage. It's facing it afterward. Owning up to it, whether it's good or bad.
Jessi Kirby
Image
You can break a thing, but you cannot always guide it afterward into the shape you want.
Holly Black
Image
If you hit a wrong note, then make it right by what you play afterward.
Joe Pass
Image
There are things you can't walk away from. Not if you want to live with yourself afterward.
Jim Butcher
Image
Like children in a schoolyard, they want to know what was my accident, how much did it hurt, and what did I look like afterward. ... I am not the only person I have known who has encountered emotional sightseers.
Natalie Kusz
Image
What was the point of education, he thought, if people went out afterward and used it?
Terry Pratchett
Image
I'm not actually a psychopath. I don't look evil. People don't normally want to put me in the same kind of things afterward, so I'm looking forward to people taking a few risks and hopefully seeing me as the character actor that I think I am.
David Oakes
Image
This does not matter. This is not anything yet. It all depends on what you do with it, afterward.
William Faulkner
Image
I struck out with two men on base. I was so angry, so frustrated, I turned and without even thinking about it, snapped my bat over my thigh. The bat split right in half. Afterward, reporters asked me if it was the first time I'd ever broken a bat over my thigh. I broke an aluminum bat over my knee in college, I said. (I was just kidding).
Bo Jackson
Image
Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resigns his conscience to the legislator? Why has every man a conscience then? I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
The most fun part about working out is being done - getting through the workout, let's be honest. But that feeling afterward? Yeah, that's worth it.
Venus Williams
Image
Divorce is my generation's coming of age ceremony - a ritual scarring that makes anything that happens afterward seem bearable.
