Thoughts

Famous quotes containing the word thoughts:

    The burning of rebellious thoughts in the little breast, of internal hatred and opposition, could not long go on without slight whiffs of external smoke, such as mark the course of subterranean fire.
    Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)

    A novel is what you dream in your night sleep. A novel is
    not waking thoughts although it is written and thought
    with waking thoughts. But really a novel goes as
    dreams go in sleeping at night and some dreams are like
    anything and some dreams are like something and some
    dreams change and some dreams are quiet and some dreams
    are not. And some dreams are just what any one would
    do only a little different always just a little
    different and that is what a novel is.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    Time, thou anticipat’st my dread exploits.
    The flighty purpose never is o’ertook
    Unless the deed go with it. From this moment
    The very firstlings of my heart shall be
    The firstlings of my hand. And even now,
    To crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done:
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
