Solitude is independence. It had been my wish and with the years I had attained it. It was cold. Oh, cold enough! But it was also still, wonderfully still and vast like the cold stillness of space in which the stars revolve.
- Hermann Hesse
I'll talk to my mother," she promised. "If I'm sufficiently
annoying, I'm sure I can get the engagement period
cut in half."
"It makes me wonder," he said. "As your future husband,
should I be concerned by your use of the phrase if
I'm sufficiently annoying?"
"Not if you accede to all of my wishes."
"A sentence that concerns me even more," he murmured.
She did nothing but smile.
- Julia Quinn
This wasn't the way I had imagined my adventures, but reality ignored my wishes from the get-go, giving me a body best suited for stacking books in the library, injecting so much fear into my veins that I could only cower in the stairwell when the violence came. Maybe someday my arms and legs would thicken with muscle and the fear would drain away like dirty bathwater. I wish I believed these things would happen, but I didn't.
- David Benioff
My wish simply is to live my life as fully as I can. In both our work and our leisure, I think, we should be so employed. And in our time this means that we must save ourselves from the products that we are asked to buy in order, ultimately, to replace ourselves.
- Wendell Berry
I am a Senator against my wishes and feelings, which I regret more than any other of my life.
- Andrew Jackson
It is not my wish to lounge about the college and fatten on a fellowship all my days. I am always trying to look upon a college life as a medium not an end.
- Thomas Edward Brown
I wish I could know everything ever, like that would be my wish - that's what I hope heaven is, that they tell you who shot JFK and all that stuff.
- Louis C K
This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
My wish for the new millennium is for all children... to grow up wiser, and stronger and more prosperous for the future than ever before.
- Hillary Clinton
When envoys are sent with compliments in their mouths, it is a sign that the enemy wishes for a truce.
- Sun Tzu
And just like that, I knew what I wanted. Something I had always wanted. But it was so unrealistic it hadn't even made it to my wish list.
- David Levithan
She had this dark cancer water dripping out of her chest. Eyes closed. Intubated. But her hand was still her hand, still warm and the nails painted this almost black dark blue and I just held her hand and tried to imagine the world without us and for about one second I was a good enough person to hope she died so she would never know that I was going, too. But then I wanted more time so we could fall in love. I got my wish, I suppose. I left my scar.
- John Green
Augustus," I said. "Really. You don't have to do this."
"Sure I do," he said. "I found my Wish."
"God, you're the best," I told him.
"I bet you say that to all the boys who finance your international travel," he answered.
- John Green
I won't say it's going to be easy for me, Madeline. I've lived too long in darkness and shadows, but if you're willing to stick by me, to give me a chance, I'll give you whatever you wish."
"My wish has already come true," she said, smiling into his upturned face. "It was
you, after all."
-Blaine and Madeline
- Charlotte Featherstone
The cake had a trick candle that wouldn't go out, so I didn't get my wish. Which was just that it would always be like this, that my life could be a party just for me.
- Janet Fitch
So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.
- Neil Gaiman
I am indeed rich, since my income is superior to my expenses, and my expense is equal to my wishes.
- Edward Gibbon
When I was young and miserable and pretty
And poor, I'd wish
What all girls wish: to have a husband,
A house and children. Now that I'm old, my wish
Is womanish:
That the boy putting groceries in my car
See me.
- Randall Jarrell
It now seemed to me that all my other guesses had been only self-pleasing dreams spun out of my wishes, but now I was awake.
- C S Lewis
You cannot force me to make my wishes now" She squared her shoulders and looked at him. "I've read texts.
- Melissa Marr
I loved him for a full year and then, in one night, all my wishing came apart.
- Paula Mclain
I have found it very important in my own life to try to let go of my wishes and instead to live in hope. I am finding that when I choose to let go of my sometimes petty and superficial wishes and trust that my life is precious and meaningful in the eyes of God something really new, something beyond my own expectations begins to happen for me. (Finding My Way Home)
- Henri Nouwen
It is my wish to die of unique causes, perhaps in a high-speed tricycle crash, a bizarre stapling incient, or as a result of inadvertently sucking my brains out through my ear while trying to untwist the vacuum hose.
- Paula Poundstone
I had seen my becoming a vampire in two lights: The first light was simply enchantment... But the other light was my wish for self-destruction.
- Anne Rice
As a little boy of eleven I entered the Cadet Corps. I was not particularly eager to become a Cadet, but my father wished it. So my wishes were not consulted.
- Manfred Von Richthofen
I won't let this be my good-bye. I've folded one thousand paper crane memories of me and Grace, and I've made my wish.
I will find a cure. And then I will find Grace.
- Maggie Stiefvater
I still watch her now, like I always did, and she watches me, her brown eyes looking out from a wolf's face.
This is the story of a boy who used to be a wolf, and a girl who became one.
I won't let this be my last good-bye. I've folded one thousand paper cranes of me and Grace, and I've made my wish.
I will find a cure. And then I will find Grace.
- Maggie Stiefvater
Somehow, I had the feeling that I was responsible for Harry being dead. I remembered all the times that I wished he were dead, all the times I had dreamed of killing him. I got to thinking that maybe my wishing had finally killed him.
- Arnold Rothstein
I think the Swedish Academy wished to manifest its solidarity with the living spirit of Greece today.
- Giorgos Seferis
My wish for you... is that your skeptic-eclectic brain be flooded with the light of truth.
