Top Novels And Verse Quotes

Novels And Verse Quotes By Ellen Hopkins

Spilling a Secret

What its size,
will have varying
consequences. It's not
possible to predict
what will happen
if you
open the gunnysack,
let the cat escape.
A liberated feline
might purr on your lap,
or it might scratch
your eyes out. You can't
tell
until you loosen the knot.
Do you chance losing
a friendship, if that
friend's well-being
will
only be preserved
by betraying sworn-to
silence trust? Once
the seam is ripped, can
it be
mended again?
And if that proves
impossible, will you be
okay
when it all falls to pieces? — Ellen Hopkins

Novels And Verse Quotes By Charles Baudelaire

Above my cradle loomed the bookcase where/ Latin ashes and the dust of Greece/ mingled with novels, history, and verse/ in one dark Babel. I was folio-high/ when I first heard the voices. — Charles Baudelaire

Novels And Verse Quotes By John Lydon

How slight a thing will disturb the equanimity of our frail minds! — Charles Dickens

Novels And Verse Quotes By David Nicholls

Emma's mid-twenties had brought a second adolescence even more self-absorbed and doom-laden than the first one. 'Why don't you just come home, sweetheart?' her mum had said on the phone last night, using her quavering, concerned voice, as if her daughter had been abducted. 'Your room's still here. There's jobs at Debenhams' - and for the first time she had been tempted.
Once, she thought she could conquer London. She had imagined a whirl of literary salons, political engagement, larky parties, bittersweet romances conducted on Thames embankments. She had intended to form a band, make short films, write novels, but two years on slim volume of verse was no fatter, and nothing really good had happened to her since she'd been baton-charged at Poll Tax Riots. — David Nicholls

Novels And Verse Quotes By Kwame Alexander

Because Dad told you he'd be here forever.
Because I thought forever was like Mars -- far away. — Kwame Alexander

Novels And Verse Quotes By Jeremy Paxman

The cure for cynicism is simply to engage honestly. — Jeremy Paxman

Novels And Verse Quotes By Theodore Roosevelt

Now and then I am asked as to "what books a statesman should read," and my answer is, poetry and novels - including short stories under the head of novels. I don't mean that he should read only novels and modern poetry. If he cannot also enjoy the Hebrew prophets and the Greek dramatists, he should be sorry. He ought to read interesting books on history and government, and books of science and philosophy; and really good books on these subjects are as enthralling as any fiction ever written in prose or verse. — Theodore Roosevelt

Novels And Verse Quotes By Milan Kundera

Brod was a brilliant intellectual with exceptional energy; a generous man willing to do battle for others; his attachment to Kafka was warm and disinterested. The only problem was his artistic orientation: a man of ideas, he knew nothing of the passion for form; his novels (he wrote twenty of them) are sadly conventional; and above all: he understood nothing at all about modern art.
Why, despite all this, was Kafka so fond of him? What about you-do you stop being fond of your best friend because he has a compulsion to write bad verse? — Milan Kundera

Novels And Verse Quotes By Keri Smith

I do not see the process of blogging as a separate thing from creating art. This is in part why I do not like to be known for being a 'blogger,' as this is just one form of output for creative ideas. — Keri Smith

Novels And Verse Quotes By Anna Carey

I bet Aaron swims the fastest," Benny said, squeezing my hand. "He's like a fish. — Anna Carey

Novels And Verse Quotes By Malorie Blackman

I would like to champion diverse forms like graphic novels and works told in verse and diverse writers and illustrators and diverse authors as well. — Malorie Blackman

Novels And Verse Quotes By Brigham Young

In the beginning, after this earth was prepared for man, the Lord commenced his work upon what is now called the American continent, where the Garden of Eden was made. In the days of Noah, in the days of the floating of the ark, he took the people to another part of the earth; the earth was divided, and there he set up his kingdom — Brigham Young

Novels And Verse Quotes By Stasia Ward Kehoe

There are more guys than girls in jazz.
Next-to-no lady trumpeters
(oh, there are a few)
but it doesn't matter because, for me, jazz trumpet is all about one guy
Miles Davis.
He made this famous album in 1959
called Kind of Blue
which is kind of, always,
how I feel.
That album gets into your bones
goes and goes
starts, hesitates, reaches out, feels
for the music, the sound, the thing you want to change.
Always grasping for the unattainable makes you
kind of excited,
kind of sorry. — Stasia Ward Kehoe

Novels And Verse Quotes By Eric Jerome Dickey

Desire is a beast that must be fed! — Eric Jerome Dickey

Novels And Verse Quotes By Richard Keller

You can certainly have days where you feel your goals are insurmountable. However, you exhibit true tenacity when you can climb toward the insurmountable peak and begin to see the clear skies above. — Richard Keller

Novels And Verse Quotes By Robert Fulghum

Even if your watch is full of diamonds the hour is still 60 minutes — Robert Fulghum

Novels And Verse Quotes By Gene C. Fant Jr.

The greatest writers in the world have stolen the greatest Story ever told, time and time again. Christians should recognize this Story and seize the opportunity presented by this towering influence. — Gene C. Fant Jr.

Novels And Verse Quotes By Virginia Euwer Wolff

Reviewers have called my books 'novels in verse.' I think of them as written in prose, but I do use stanzas. Stanza means 'room' in Latin, and I wanted there to be 'room' - breathing opportunities to receive thoughts and have time to come out of them before starting again at the left margin. — Virginia Euwer Wolff
