The reason why so few good books are written is that so few people who can write know anything.

And it also became clear that these conditions of inequality and historical injustice have given rise to a feeling of hate in the world - a deeply felt hate that cannot easily be overcome with a few good words.
- Ulrich Beck
She is her odd self. The kiln has been fired. She is a person persnickity about keeping her house clean, but not above spitting on her desk to rub out a coffee stain. She will never be an athlete, or a mathematician, or a skinny person, or someone whose heart isn't snagged by the sight of fireflies on a summer night and the lilting cadence of a few good lines of poetry.
- Elizabeth Berg
and our few good times will be rare because we have the critical sense
and are not easy to fool with laughter
- Charles Bukowski
Hope," Frank grumbled. "I'd rather have a few good weasels.
- Rick Riordan
We can never get rid of mouse-ideas completely, they keep turning up again and again, and nibble, nibble--no matter how often we drive them off. The best way to keep them down is to have a few good strong cat-ideas which will embrace them and ensure their not reappearing till they do so in another shape.
- Samuel Butler
A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.
- Truman Capote
You want a piece of advice?" said Ripred.
"Don't bother. I know what you'll say. The whole thing's stupid," said Gregor.
"Quite the contrary. I was going to say that life is short. There are only a few good things in it, really. Don't pretend that one isn't happening." said Ripred.
- Suzanne Collins
Philosophy, like medicine, has plenty of drugs, few good remedies, and hardly any specific cures.
- Nicolas Chamfort
Her support was a constant, one of the few good things I could take as a given. And whenever I see a first novel dedicated to a wife (or a husband), I smile and think, There's someone who knows. Writing is a lonely job. Having someone who believes in you makes a lot of difference. They don't have to make speeches. Just believing is usually enough.
- Stephen King
Misperceiving that there is one correct choice is a common mistake. Coming to understand that there are usually a few good choices--and then there's the one you pick, commit to, and make great--is the best way to make flexible, optimal, good decisions in life.
- Katie Couric
One of the few good things about modern times: If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us.
- Kurt Vonnegut
Maybe the most that you can expect from a relationship that goes bad is to come out of it with a few good songs.
- Marianne Faithfull
Listening to people espouse beliefs different from mine is informative, not threatening, because the only thing that can alter my worldview is a new and undeniable truth, and contrary to what Jack Nicholson says in 'A Few Good Men', I CAN handle the truth.
- Michael J Fox
There's lots of good fish in the sea...maybe...but the vast masses seem to be mackerel or herring, and if you're not mackerel or herring yourself, you are likely to find very few good fish in the sea.
- D H Lawrence
The world is supposed to be full of possibilities, but they narrow down to pretty few in most personal experience.

In my youth, it was my good luck to have a few good teachers, men and women, who came into my head and lit a match.
- Yann Martel
Most of the time I liked school and got good grades. In junior high, though, I hit a stumbling block with math - I used to come home and cry because of how frustrated I was! But after a few good teachers and a lot of perseverance, I ended up loving math and even choosing it as a major when I got to college.
- Danica Mckellar
You start out wanting to change the world through language, and end up thinking it's enough to tell a few good jokes.

And maybe that's just what happens; you start out wanting to change the world through language, and end up thinking it's enough to tell a few good jokes.

Still, one of the few good things about being dyslexic is that when I say I don't read reviews, I mean I don't read reviews.
- Ozzy Osbourne
It's interesting. I've known quite a few good athletes that can't begin to play a beat on the drum set. Most team sport is about the smooth fluidity of hand-eye coordination and physical grace, where drumming is much more about splitting all those things up.
- Neil Peart
Life, he says, doesn't have to be so bad all the time. We don't have to be anxious about everything. We can just be. We can get up, anticipate that the day will probably have a few good moments and a few bad ones, and then just deal with it. Take it all in and deal as best we can.

The fact is I still have quite a few good years in front of me. I still improve.
