I hope you'll have the kind of life where what you stand for is so important that it makes some people outright hostile. You won't know how strong your beliefs really are until you have to defend them.
Joan Bauer (Best Foot Forward (Rules of the Road, #2))
Then she broke down, for with the cessation of activity came an unexpected terror —silence. She had never known silence, and the coming of it nearly killed her —it did kill many thousands of people outright. Ever since her birth she had been surrounded by the steady hum. It was to the ear what artificial air was to the lungs, and agonizing pains shot across her head. And scarcely knowing what she did, she stumbled forward and pressed the unfamiliar button, the one that opened the door of her cell.
E.M. Forster (The Machine Stops)
Helen Keller, author, speaker, and advocate for disabled persons, asserted,"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
John C. Maxwell (Failing Forward: Turning Mistakes into Stepping Stones for Success)
He leaned forward and began to count off on the fingers of the hand that held the cigarette: She aint American. She aint a citizen. She dont speak english. She works in a whorehouse. No, hear me out. And last but not least—he sat holding his thumb—there's a son of a bitch owns her outright that I guarangoddamntee you will kill you graveyard dead if you mess with him. Son, aint there no girls on this side of the damn river? Not like her. Well I'll bet that's the truth if you ever told it.
Cormac McCarthy (Cities of the Plain (The Border Trilogy, #3))
I have felt things that no one should ever have to feel. I have seen things that no one should ever have to see. I have heard things that no one should ever have to hear. I have been beaten down so many times that It is reflexive to get back up immediately without any hesitation expecting another whack to come instantaneously. I have got up off the mat more times than what should be necessary. I know I will need to continue doing so many, many more times. I am prepared to do so and more without complaint or regret. It is outright exhausting. I keep experiencing this pain because 1 life is worth it. Life is awesome and is worth fighting for. Even 1 life is worth it. For 1 life to experience life is my mission. To quote JFK: "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win." So I will continue to feel, see and hear things that no parent should ever have to in order for 1 life to be able to experience this awesome life again.
JohnA Passaro (6 Minutes Wrestling With Life (Every Breath Is Gold #1))
I’m beginning to believe that one cannot move forward after learning that all of life’s foundations are deceit, fantasies, even outright lies, behind which crouches a truth recognized far too late, like a snake one steps on at a precise, predestined moment. A viper striking at one’s most vulnerable anatomy, delivering poison that assures a long, agonizing death. When a person feels life slip out from beneath him, he grabs for any hand that’s offered and, often, drags down the very person who extended the hand.
Igor Štiks (The Judgment of Richard Richter)
We choose the prism that we use to view life. Life can be a mystical tour or an outright bummer. We can live our life with the taint of aftermath or look forward to embracing each beguiling day with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
Kilroy J. Oldster (Dead Toad Scrolls)
Turning Rejection Around What if your friendly, hopeful conversation starter is not met with signals of approval or interest? If the person you approach is fidgety, avoids eye contact, appears uneasy, and exhibits none of the signals of welcome, chances are he or she is not interested in interaction—at least not at that moment. The first thing to do is slow down. Be patient, and give the person time to relax with you. If you present yourself as relaxed and open to whatever develops (whether a good conversation, a valuable working relationship, even friendship or romance), your companion may in time relax too. Use your verbal skills to create an interesting conversation and a sense of ease to break the tension. Don’t pressure yourself to be able to define a relationship from the first meeting. Keep your expectations general, and remember the playfulness factor. Enjoy someone’s company with no strings attached. Don’t fabricate obligations where none exist. It may take several conversations for a relationship to develop. If you had hoped for romance but the feelings appear not to be reciprocated, switch your interest to friendship, which has its own rich rewards. What if you are outright rejected? Rejection at any point—at first meeting, during a date, or well into a relationship—can be painful and difficult for most of us. But there are ways to prevent it from being an all-out failure. One thing I like to tell my clients is that the Chinese word for failure can be interpreted to mean “opportunity.” And opportunities, after all, are there for the taking. It all depends on how you perceive things. There is a technique you can borrow from salespeople to counter your feelings of rejection. High-earning salespeople know that you can’t succeed without being turned down at least occasionally. Some even look forward to rejection, because they know that being turned down this time brings them that much closer to succeeding next time around. They may even learn something in the process. So keep this in mind as you experiment with your new, social self: Hearing a no now may actually bring you closer to the bigger and better yes that is soon to happen! Apply this idea as you practice interacting: Being turned down at any point in the process helps you to learn a little more—about how to approach a stranger, have a conversation, make plans, go on a date, or move toward intimacy. If you learn something positive from the experience, you can bring that with you into your next social situation. Just as in sales, the payoff in either romance or friendship is worth far more than the possible downfall or minor setback of being turned down. A note on self-esteem: Rejection can hurt, but it certainly does not have to be devastating. It’s okay to feel disappointed when we do not get the reaction we want. But all too often, people overemphasize the importance or meaning of rejection—especially where fairly superficial interactions such as a first meeting or casual date are concerned. Here are some tips to keep rejection in perspective: -Don’t overthink it. Overanalysis will only increase your anxiety. -Keep the feelings of disappointment specific to the rejection situation at hand. Don’t say, “No one ever wants to talk to me.” Say, “Too bad the chemistry wasn’t right for both of us.” -Learn from the experience. Ask yourself what you might have done differently, if anything, but then move on. Don’t beat yourself up about it. If those thoughts start, use your thought-stopping techniques (p. 138) to control them. -Use your “Adult” to look objectively at what happened. Remember, rejecting your offer of conversation or an evening out does not mean rejecting your whole “being.” You must continue to believe that you have something to offer, and that there are open, available people who would like to get to know you.
Jonathan Berent (Beyond Shyness: How to Conquer Social Anxieties)
Why Joseph’s magical treasure quests began to take on a religious context is open to reasonable speculation. His family’s dire financial circumstances, his trouble with the law for searching for treasure, his confrontation with Isaac Hale over Emma, and other circumstances are individually and collectively plausible explanations. But, in context, and along with all the other evidence, the explanation put forward by the church and various Mormon apologists—that Joseph Smith was a prophet called by God, even if that calling was gradually revealed through Joseph’s immediate cultural context—is just not believable. If it were, it would be the story Mormon missionaries teach openly and outright to prospective converts, and people would be converting and bearing testimony about the realities of the powers of magical stones. But it is not. And it was not the foundation on which my testimonial experience had been premised.
Jeremy Christiansen (From the Susquehanna to the Tiber: A Memoir of Conversion from Mormonism to the Roman Catholic Church)
But that wasn’t Hunt’s top concern—not yet. Because between them, in black leggings and a white sweater, light brown hair down around her face … Hunt had no idea who the Fae female was. She was fuming, though, outright seething at the guards, the king, and— “What the fuck?” Flynn exploded. “Sathia?” Declan said, gaping. “It seems,” Morven drawled as the Murder Twins dragged the Fae female forward, their grips white-knuckled on her arms, hard enough to bruise, “that your sister has landed in a heap of trouble, Tristan Flynn.
Sarah J. Maas (House of Flame and Shadow (Crescent City, #3))
Ann, being quite forward and a bit cheeky, asked her outright.
Darcie Boleyn (Wish Upon A Christmas Cake)
The problem with human beings is we think we can wear too many hats at once. It’s not possible. It’s an outright fashion disaster.
Joan Bauer (Best Foot Forward (Rules of the Road, #2))
Buster, no other choice, said his line, “Give me my sin again,” and, as Annie quickly leaned forward to deliver the kiss, Buster feinted, moved slightly to the left, and again kissed the air, wet and loud. The audience now began to laugh outright. Annie stared at Buster without emotion, though her hands were balled into tight, damage-seeking fists, and said flatly, “You kiss by the book.” Once the scene finally ended, the first act closed, Buster looked in the front row at Mr. Guess, who gave Buster a thumbs-up, obviously pleased. Tragedy, in Buster’s hands, had become comedy.
