Top Little Earthquakes Quotes

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Andrew Revkin

The things that happen are an earthquake, another bomb in Iraq, some big jolt on Wall Street in oil prices, and then you have some new study on drought patterns from climate change. Or another little incremental improvement in photovoltaics. Where do those fit in to the daily stream? They don't. — Andrew Revkin

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Bentley Little

Julian tried to keep a pleasant smile on his face, though already it felt strained. He was uncomfortable with people who used the word blessed as a part of their everyday speech. The implication was that God was intervening in the minutiae of their lives, hanging around and helping them with their jobs or children or household chores as though He had nothing better to do.
Maybe it was true, Julian thought wryly. Maybe that was why there were wars and murders and earthquakes and hurricanes. God was too busy helping real estate agents find new listings to deal with those other issues. — Bentley Little

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Ursula K. Le Guin

He was one whose power was akin to, and as strong as, the Old Powers of the earth; one who talked with dragons, and held off earthquakes with his word. And there he lay asleep on the dirt, with a little thistle growing by his hand. It was very strange. Living, being in the world, was a much greater and stranger thing than she had ever dreamed. The glory of the sky touched his dusty hair, and turned the thistle gold for a little while. — Ursula K. Le Guin

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Voltaire

Opinion has caused more trouble on this little earth than plagues or earthquakes. — Voltaire

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Leo Buscaglia

There are two big forces at work, external and internal. We have very little control over external forces such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain. What really matters is the internal force. How do I respond to those disasters? Over that I have complete control. — Leo Buscaglia

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Deborah Eisenberg

You write something and there's no reality to it. You can't inject it with any kind of reality. You have to be patient and keep going, and then, one day, you can feel something signaling to you from the innermost recesses. Like a little person trapped under the rubble of an earthquake. And very, very, very slowly you find your way toward the little bit of living impulse. — Deborah Eisenberg

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Gabriel Garcia Marquez

A famous writer who wants to continue writing has to be constantly defending himself against fame. — Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

There is not a moment but preys upon you, - and upon all around you, not a moment in which you do not yourself become a destroyer. The most innocent walk deprives of life thousands of poor insects: one step destroys the fabric of the industrious ant, and converts a little world into chaos. No: it is not the great and rare calamities of the world, the floods which sweep away whole villages, the earthquakes which swallow up our towns, that affect me. My heart is wasted by the thought of that destructive power which lies concealed in every part of universal nature. Nature has formed nothing that does not consume itself, and every object near it: so that, surrounded by earth and air, and all the active powers, I wander on my way with aching heart; and the universe is to me a fearful monster, for ever devouring its own offspring. — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Jane Austen

I do not perceive why I should be more in want of employment at forty or fifty than one-and-twenty. Woman's usual occupations of hand and mind will be as open to me then as they are now; or with no important variation. If I draw less, I shall read more; if I give up music, I shall take to carpet-work. — Jane Austen

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Oprah Winfrey

Failures can be God's little whispers (or) a full earthquake in our lives because we didn't listen to the whispers — Oprah Winfrey

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Wilford Brimley

Everybody that's an actor leaves it for a while 'cause they ain't got a job. — Wilford Brimley

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Katherine Heigl

I'm terrible with my workout regime and following it strictly. I'm terrible with a healthy diet and following it strictly. I'm terrible on the weekends about getting up at reasonable hours and all of those things. But, when it comes to my work and the discipline it takes to get to work on time - I hate unprofessionalism. — Katherine Heigl

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Laura Wiess

I learned to move silently in the background, a dirty, neglected little kid with no voice, no wants, and who made no trouble so as not to call the wrath of the eight or so tweaking adults who lived there down on me. I drifted, faded, and became a listless, ghostlike scavenger who took what she could get. I lived mostly in my head and for a while actually convinced myself that I was a survivor of one of those catastrophic earthquakes or tornadoes I used to see on the Weather Channel,a dazed, bewildered, and emotionless girl picking her way through an endless landscape of foul and stinking rubble to try and come out on the other side. — Laura Wiess

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Robert Louis Stevenson

We live thetime that a match flickers; we pop the corkof a ginger-beer bottle, and the earthquake swallows us on the instant. Is it not odd, is it not incongruous, is it not, in the highest sense of human speech, incredible, that we should think so highly of the ginger-beer, and regard so little the devouring earthquake? — Robert Louis Stevenson

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Victoria Kahler

She would never understand her sister. Her sister was like the weather, no, she was worse than the weather. She was like an earthquake that came out of nowhere to shake the world up, but even the tiny tremors, so unpredictable, were a little disorienting. Still, afterward, you were left feeling glad, if only because the ground was no longer shaking. — Victoria Kahler

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Colleen McCullough

How frightening, that one person could mean so much, so many things. — Colleen McCullough

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Lee Smolin

On the way, I shared the backseat of Feyerabend's little sports car with the inflatable raft he kept there in case an 8-point earthquake came while he was on the Bay Bridge. — Lee Smolin

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Give her not greatness. For great souls must stand Alone and lonely in this little world: Cleft rocks that show the great Creator's hand, Thither by earthquakes hurled ... — Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Jaggi Vasudev

Lots of earthquakes and landslides and disturbances keep happening on a daily basis simply because the mountain is growing. The same is true with human life: if one is striving to grow, earthquakes and landslides keep happening in one's life.
Those who are stagnant, who don't grow, their life seems to be stable and steady, and looks better. But it's lifeless. For one who is striving to grow, an enormous amount of upheaval happens in his life. But all the upheavals are worth a little bit of growth that could happen within a human being. — Jaggi Vasudev

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Voltaire

Opinions have caused more ills than the plague or earthquakes on this little globe of ours. — Voltaire

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Bill Maher

I kid Fox News, but they may be a little biased. We had an earthquake here on Monday, and they reported that 'the earth's crust was emboldened by Obama's weakness.' — Bill Maher

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Cynthia Nixon

I'm fairly out of the loop when it comes to pop culture. — Cynthia Nixon

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Arnold Schwarzenegger

Global warming is one of those things, not like an earthquake where there's a big bang and you say, 'Oh, my God, this is really, has hit us.' It creeps up on you. Half a degree temperature difference from one year to the next, a little bit of rise of the ocean, a little bit of melting of the glaciers, and then all of a sudden it is too late to do something about it. — Arnold Schwarzenegger

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Aprilynne Pike

I can't just storm in and proclaim my intentions. I can't 'steal' you away. I just have to wait and hope that, someday, you'll ask," Tamani said.

"And if I don't?" Laurel said, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Then I guess I'll be waiting forever. — Aprilynne Pike

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Delilah S. Dawson

So on the way out, maybe I sashayed a little. Maybe I tried swinging my hips. Maybe I didn't. It's not a crime to feel pretty, after all. — Delilah S. Dawson

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Johnnetta B. Cole

If folks can learn to be racist, then they can learn to be anti racist. If being sexist ain't genetic, then, dad gum, people can learn about gender equality. — Johnnetta B. Cole

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Dogen

Do not be amazed by the true dragon. — Dogen

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Hal Sparks

Tori Amos had a major influence on how I craft words in a song. Until I heard 'Little Earthquakes' all my lyrics used really obvious analogies like rain for tears. — Hal Sparks

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Unita Blackwell

This is what I know about courage: You don't have to think about courage to have it. You don't have to feel courageous to be courageous. You don't sit down and say you're going to be courageous. At the moment of action, you don't see it as a courageous act. Courage is the most hidden thing from your eye or mind until after it's done. There's some inner something that tells you what's right. You know you have to do it to survive as a human being. You have no choice. — Unita Blackwell

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Walt Mossberg

I try not to make snap judgments. I never, ever make conclusions about products I've never tried. — Walt Mossberg

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Mary J. Blige

I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that would be poor parenting on my part. — Mary J. Blige

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Reese Witherspoon

Everything I sang sounded awful. So I went outside and I screamed. Everyone pretty much agreed it was awful. — Reese Witherspoon

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Jodi Picoult

The reason we were with Mama that day was because it was a snow day. School was canceled, but we were too little to stay alone in our apartment while Mama went to work - which she did, through snow and sleet and probably also earthquakes and Armageddon. She muttered, stuffing us into our snowsuits and boots, that it didn't matter if she had to cross a blizzard to do it, but God forbid Ms. Mina had to spread the peanut butter on her own sandwich bread. In fact the only time I remember Mama taking time off work was twenty-five years later, when she had a double hip replacement, generously paid for by the Hallowells. She stayed home for a week, and even after that, when it didn't quite heal right and she insisted on returning to work, Mina found her tasks to do that kept her off her feet. But when I was little, during school vacations and bouts of fever and snow days like this one, Mama would take us with her on the B train downtown. Mr. — Jodi Picoult

Little Earthquakes Quotes By Big Sean

It has no color to it. If you can rap good, you can rap good. I look at Mac Miller, who's one of my homies, and I look at Wiz Khalifa, who's one of my homies, and I don't look at Mac different because he's white. He's my homie. — Big Sean
