Do you know what I miss most about Rosemary? Simply knowing she was there. - David Ebershoff I'll tell you what I miss most. What I would love to do, more than anything, is just anthologies.

I mean, it's stupid to miss someone you didn't even get along with. But I don't know, it was nice, you know, having someone you could always fight with. - John Green You know what's lame, Pudge? I really care about her. I mean, we were hopeless. Badly matched. But still.

He knew what it was like to miss someone. And so he listened. And in his listening, his heart opened wide and then wider still. (page 103) - Kate Dicamillo Hadley didn't know it was possible to miss someone who's only a few feet away, but there it is. - Jennifer E Smith It was only then, raising my water glass in his name, that I knew what it meant to miss someone who was so many miles and hou...

I think it's important to take a break, you know, from the public eye for a while, and give people a chance to miss you. I want longevity. I don't want to get out there and run myself ragged and spread myself thin. - Aaliyah It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it. - Mark Twain Elvish singing is not a thing to miss, in June under the stars, not if you care for such things. - J R R Tolkien Everybody has their moment of great opportunity in life. If you happen to miss the one you care about, then everything else becomes eerily easy. - Douglas Adams She wasn't afraid of difficulties what frightened her was being forced to choose one particular path. Choosing a path meant having to miss out on others. She had a whole life to live and she was thinking that, in future, she might regret the choices she made now. "I am afraid of committing myself" she thought to herself she wanted to follow all possible paths and ended up fo...

The memory of that event has only just come back to me, now doubly painful: regret for a vanished past and, above all, remorse for lost opportunities. Mithra-Grandchamp is the women we were unable to love, the chances we failed to seize, the moments of happiness we allowed to drift away. Today it seems to me that my whole life was nothing but a string of those small near misses - Jean Dominique Bauby Here's a phrase that apparently the airlines simply made up: near miss. They say that if 2 planes almost collide, it's a near miss. Bullshit, my friend. It's a near hit! A collision is a near miss. [WHAM! CRUNCH!] "Look, they nearly missed!" "Yes, but not quite. - George Carlin Usually pilot season is very busy, and there are lots of auditions and lots of near misses and rejections. This year, I had two auditions, landed this role and it felt like being home again. - Melinda Clarke I am not driven by any bitterness by what happened in Athens. I learnt a lot o...

I'm not a party animal; I took my job as Miss USA very seriously... Sometimes, of course, I want to let it all go. Even though I'm a beauty queen, you're also an unofficial ambassador, and there's a lot of pressure. - Rima Fakih I'm Miss USA, not Miss Religion USA. - Rima Fakih New Rule: Stop asking Miss USA contestants if they believe in evolution. It's not their field. It's like asking Stephen Hawking if he believes in hair scrunchies. Here's what they know about: spray tans, fake boobs and baton twirling. Here's what they don't know about: everything else. If I cared about the uninformed opinions of some ditsy beauty queen, I'd join the Tea Party. - Bill Maher I want to be Miss USA or Miss America. I would bring the trophy back to Nebraska. My interests are agriculture and corn. Hey, I'm just riding this train as long as I can. As long as I'm having fun, I'll do it. When it stops being fun, I'll try something else. - G...

When everything else falls down around us, just knowing that there's another person who will miss us when we're gone is enough to see us through our darkest moments. - Sherrilyn Kenyon I miss us too. I always have and I probably always will. Sometimes there are no happy endings. No matter what, I'll be losing something, someone. But maybe that's what it all comes down to. Love, not as a surge of passion, but as a choice to commit to something, someone, no matter what obstacles or temptations stand in the way. And maybe making that choice again and again, day in and day out, year after year,says more about love than never having a choice to make at all. - Emily Giffin I miss us, too. I always have, and probably always will - Emily Giffin I'm not a party animal; I took my job as Miss USA very seriously... Sometimes, of course, I want to let it all go. Even though I'm a beauty queen, you're also an unofficial ambassador, and there's a lot of pressure. -...

In A Man With a Pipe, my brother observed that although my father had been seen as intellectual and my mother more a creature of temperament, she had often been the more levelheaded of the two. In sum, we miss them as we love them, equally and always. - Madeleine Albright I don't miss scenes at all the way that I used to miss them when I was younger making a film. It's actually quite fun to get rid of them now. - Paul Thomas Anderson I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. - Maya Angelou I think we'll always miss our parents. But I think we can miss them without being miserable all the time. After all, they wouldn't want us to be miserable. - Lemony Snicket Absolutely the worst thing about this job is the travel and being away from family. I have a wife and three wonderful children, the kids are all active in sports and it's very difficult to up and leave and miss them g...

Sometimes the course of our lives depends on what we do or don't do in a few seconds, a heartbeat, when we either seize the opportunity, or just miss it. Miss the moment and you never get a chance again. - Aidan Chambers And really the purpose of art - for me, fiction - is to alert, to indicate to stop, to say: Make certain that when you rush through you will not miss the moment which you might have had, or might still have. - Jerzy Kosinski It was the dilemma of the watchers: they didn't want to wait around for nothing at all, some idiot standing on the precipice of the towers, but they didn't want to miss the moment either, if he slipped, or got arrested, or dove, arms stretched. - Colum Mccann In our yearbook, there is a picture of me and Miah - sitting in Central Park - Miah has his lips poked out and is about to kiss me on my cheek. And I'm looking straight into the camera laughing. Two and half years have passed, and still, this is how I remember us. This is h...

How can you miss someone who's right beside you? - Ann Aguirre You could miss someone, but it did no good to fixate on loss. I wished I had the ready words of a Breeder or the ability to comfort with a soft touch. I didn't. Instead I had daggers and determination. That would have to do. - Ann Aguirre I miss him in so many ways, but right now I miss him in the way you always miss someone when you're single among a room full of couples. - Emily Giffin As much as it hurts, I would rather miss someone than hit someone. - Brian Celio I miss someone who gets me. I called a woman on my research team a bitch you know in a friendly way and she told me to go to hell. And I think she really meant it." "Rhian, we've talked about this. Normal people don't like to be called names. For some reason, they tend to take is personally. And you are a tad bitchy, by the way. "Normal people are so sensitive. - Samantha Young I mean, it's stupid to miss someone y...

"It only gets more confusing. - Julianna Baggott It is sheer good fortune to miss somebody long before they leave you. - Toni Morrison It's different to miss somebody when they're still alive. When they die it's like, 'Okay, I'm sad.' You're supposed to be sad. When they just go away, when they disappear, that's a different thing. - Jerry Stahl

So wicked do destruction and secrecy appear to honest minds, that Mr Lorry and Miss Pross, while engaged in the commission of their deed and in the removal of its traces, almost felt, and almost looked, like accomplices in a horrible crime. - Charles Dickens You might, from your appearance, be the wife of Lucifer," said Miss Pross, in her breathing.

It looks like Animal and Miss piggy had sex," I said. "And this was the spawn." "My eyes!" Boomer cried. "My eyes! I can't stop seeing it now that you've said it! - David Levithan I remember feeling all right with myself until age 13. Then, I was getting off the bus one day and this guy called me Miss Piggy. That was the first time I ever really felt like I wasn't okay. - Cheryl James

Well, did you know he's the best checker-player in this town? Why, down at the Landing when we were coming up, Atticus Finch could beat everybody on both sides of the river." "Miss Maudie, Jem and me beat him all the time." "It's about time you found out it's because he lets you. Did you know he can play a Jew's Harp? - Harper Lee Miss Maudie's hand closed tightly on mine, and I said nothing. Its warmth was enough. - Harper Lee Sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whisky bottle in the hand of (another)... There are just some kind of men who - who're so busy worrying about the next world they've never learned to live in this one, and you can look down the street and see the results.(Miss Maudie) - Harper Lee Don't you oh well me,sir," Miss Maudie replied, recognizing Jem's fatalistic noises, "you are not old enough to appreciate what I said. - Harper Lee

Miss Marple - Agatha Christie

If Miss Honeychurch ever takes to live as she plays, it will be very exciting--both for us and for her. - E M Forster Did you know", Matilda said suddenly, "that the heart of a mouse beats at the rate of six hundred and fifty times a second ?" I did not," Miss Honey said smiling. "How absolutely fascinating. Where did you read that?" In a book from the library," Matilda said. "And that means it goes so fast that you can't even hear the separate beats. It must sound like a buzz." It must," Miss Honey said. - Roald Dahl A girl should think about making herself look attractive so she can get a good husband later on. Looks is more important than books, Miss Hunky..." "The name is Honey," Miss Honey said. "Now look at me," Mrs Wormwood said. "Then look at you. You chose books. I chose looks. - Roald Dahl You seemed so far away," Miss Honey whispered, awestruck. Oh, I was. I was flying past the stars ...

My name is on the first leaf. If you can ever write under my name, "I forgive her," though ever so long after my broken heart is dust pray do it!" "O Miss Havisham," said I, "I can do it now. There have been sore mistakes; and my life has been a blind and thankless one; and I want forgiveness and direction far too much, to be bitter with you. - Charles Dickens Break their hearts my pride and hope, break their hearts and have no mercy. -Miss Havisham - Charles Dickens It would have been cruel in Miss Havisham, horribly cruel, to practise on the susceptibility of a poor boy, and to torture me through all these years with a vain hope and an idle pursuit, if she had reflected on the gravity of what she did. But I think she did not. I think that in the endurance of her own trial, she forgot mine, Estella. - Charles Dickens I was very glad afterwards to have had the interview; for, in her face and in her voice, and in her touch, she gave me the assurance, th...

That the Miss Lucases and the Miss Bennets should meet to talk over a ball was absolutely necessary; and the morning after the assembly brought the former to Longbourn to hear and to communicate. - Jane Austen I take no leave of you, Miss Bennet: I send no compliments to your mother.

Darcy: "They belong to you, Miss Bennett. - Seth Grahame Smith Miss Bennet, I am quit...

When we started, we knew the show was going to be hit or miss, and we needed to find a core audience to really make us survive. And I think we've been able to do that. - Jensen Ackles What do I miss about the UK? Sadly, almost nothing. Maybe the midnight sun, in June in the north. That's all. - Lee Child I know this is going to sound cheesy and like I'm trying to be Miss America, but the most important responsibility a celebrity has is to set an example and be a role model. - Clay Aiken Maybe you had to leave in order to miss a place; maybe you had to travel to figure out how beloved your starting point was. - Jodi Picoult Maybe you had to leave in order to really miss a place; maybe you had to travel to figure out how beloved your starting point was. - Jodi Picoult I had always been suspicious of women who described the dissolution of their marriages as something that happened overnight.
