If you are with the quality, or at a funeral, or trying to go to sleep when you ain't sleepy - if you are anywheres where it won't do for you to scratch, why you will itch all over in upwards of a thousand places. - Mark Twain Lorsen shook his head in amazement. 'You truly are disgusting.' 'I would be the last to disagree, but you fail to see that you are worse. No man capable of greater evil than the one who thinks himself in the right. No purpose more evil than the higher purpose. I freely admit I am a villain. That's why you hired me. But I am no hypocrite. - Joe Abercrombie It matters not who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love or how you love, it matters only that you love - John Lennon Why don't you tell me why you called me? Don't you know? I'm a therapist, nto a psychic. That would make your job easier, no? Scarier. - Alex Adams The best protection against propaganda of any sort is the recognition of it for what it is. ...

Why did you leave? (Aiden) I took care of the person harassing him. Threat gone. Job eliminated. Anything else you want to know? Dental records, fingerprints? Retinal scan? (Leta) Urine sample would work. (Aiden) What cup you want me to use? (Leta) Does anything faze you? (Aiden) I fight people for a living. Do you honestly think peeing in a cup is going to frighten me? (Leta) - Sherrilyn Kenyon Lord, why did you leave me in these woods? - Aleksandar Hemon Why did you leave him?" The sigh that was Nora's first answer billowed out in front of her in a cloud of white. "Winter," she finally said, "can be so beautiful and so cruel. Cruel and cold. And if you live in the presence of winter you never have summer." Nora stepped close to him and put her nose at his cheek. "You smell like summer. - Tiffany Reisz

but do i need to say anything?" sophie asked. "do i need to learn any words?" "like what?" saint-germain said. "well, when you lit up the eiffel tower, you said something that sounded like eggness" "ignis" the count said. "latin for fire. no, you don't need to say anything." "then why did you do it, then?" sophie asked. saint-germain grinned. "i just thought it sounded cool. - Michael Scott [after discussion about what evil is, a question asked to Elphaba on why she killed Madame Morrible] "Why did you do it?" asked the hostess with spirit. The Witch shrugged. "For fun? Maybe evil is an art form. - Gregory Maguire

Why are you here?" "'Here' as in your bedroom, or 'here' as in the great, spiritual question of our purpose here on this planet? If you're asking me whether this is all some cosmic coincidence or if there's a greater meta-ethical purpose to life, well, that's a puzzler for the ages. I mean, modern-day reductionism is clearly a fallacious argument, but-," -"I'm going back to bed." -"I'm here because Hodge reminded me it's your birthday. - Cassandra Clare The whole of science, and one is tempted to think the whole of the life of any thinking man, is trying to come to terms with the relationship between yourself and the natural world. Why are you here, and how do you fit in, and what's it all about. - David Attenborough Why are you here? Did you come to try to kill me again?" "Oddly enough, no. II had a bad dream. I needed to talk to someone. - Kendare Blake If I'm not supposed to be awake, why are ...

At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope it can be done, then they see it can be done--then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago. - Frances Hodgson Burnett If anyone wonders why the airlines are not doing well it is because flying has been made such an unpleasant and degrading experience. - Keith Henson But down through the centuries, man has developed a mind that separates him from the world of reality, the world of natural laws. This mind tries too hard, wears itself out, and ends up weak and sloppy. Such a mind, even if of high intelligence, is inefficient. It drives down the street in a fast-moving car and thinks its at the store, going over a grocery list. Then it wonders why accidents occur. - Benjamin Hoff

To these people, unhappiness was a condition, an intolerable state of affairs. If pills could help, pills were taken. But pills were not going to change the fundamental problem in the construction. Wanting what you can't have. Looking for self-worth in the mirror. Layering work on top of work and still wondering why you weren't satisfied - before working some more. - Mitch Albom Wondering why white people named girl babies things like Hope and Faith and Patience - names they could never live up to - and black mothers called their daughters Mercy, Deliverance, Salvation - crosses they'd always have to bear. - Jodi Picoult Instead of wondering WHY this is happening to you, consider why this is happening to YOU. - Dalai Lama If we are wondering why only 19 percent of the American people feel that the Congress is in tune with their priorities, the cuts in Amtrak is one blatant reason why. - Corrine Brown I've been thinking about you constantly since I left, wondering w...

And is that why we do what we do? For public approval, for fame? Do we help people because they will be appropriately grateful--or merely because they need help? - Kurt Busiek We're on tour to kind of explain why we do what we do, how its done and how we put it together. - Eric San

I don't know the meaning of life. I don't know why we are here. I think life is full of anxieties and fears and tears. It has a lot of grief in it, and it can be very grim. And I do not want to be the one who tries to tell somebody else what life is all about. To me it's a complete mystery. - Charles M Schulz One of the most often posed questions I receive from clients and readers is: "Why is there so much evil in the world? Why is there so much violence and hate?" The answer is simple. Because we've forgotten who we are and why we are here on this planet. That answer may sound like the preface to some airy-fairy metaphysical book, but it's not. Understanding who we are is essential to living a balanced life. I am talking, of course, about the human soul. - Cassandra Blizzard A job is something we do to get a paycheck and pay our bills. Jobs are legitimate, at times, but work is why we are here in the universe. Work and calling often go together. - Mat...

Why wait any longer for the one you love When he's standing in front of you - Bob Dylan For the multifold secret to work only one thing is necessary. You must take action. You must give. You must share. You must act with abandon. Send out waves of love and kindness into the world and then simply wait for the response. Or, better yet, continue to send out more waves. Why wait? The response will come. Keep sending waves and enjoy the reaction. - John Kremer If we the children of humanity don't start taking steps to walk towards world peace...Who will??? Why wait to make a difference...Start living a peaceful life-style today! - Timothy Pina that's why waiting for perfect understanding and clarity before diving into the therapeutic waters is like waiting for the perfect woman before getting married- both represent fear of a real human encounter. - Noam Shpancer

I don't understand people who eat Chinese food with chopsticks when the restaurant also offers silverware. As a tool, chopsticks are inferior to western utensils like the spoon and fork. So why use them? That's like showing up to a math test with an abacus, knowing that the teacher is going to be handing out calculators. - Jarod Kintz Why use a 10 letter word you can barely pronounce...when a four letter one will do. - Timothy Pina

You promise? I swear on the angel. The hell with that. I swear on us. Why us? Because there isn't anything I believe in more. - Cassandra Clare Alex: "You asked earlier why us humans fear death. I suppose it is the unknown - not knowing what awaits on the other side. But now I know, and I still fear it." The Darkness: "?" Alex: "But now I fear the living - in fact, I now fear life more than death! - Scott Beadle - Why me? - That is a very Earthling question to ask, Mr. Pilgrim. Why you? Why us for that matter? Why anything? Because this moment simply is. Have you ever seen bugs trapped in amber? - Yes. - Well, here we are, Mr. Pilgrim, trapped in the amber of this moment. There is no why. - Kurt Vonnegut Why you? Why us for that matter? Why anything? Because this moment simply is. - Kurt Vonnegut Billy licked his lips, thought a while, inquired at last: "Why me?" "That is a very Earthling question to ask, Mr. Pilgrim. Why you? Why us for...

Love is the biggest mystery of the universe. But why try to solve it, when one simply view it for what it is and marvel at the wonders and strangeness it brings? - Arnold Arre I can understand there are things like shadows they need to fix after a shoot, but it's unfair to represent an image of yourself if it's not true. They're gonna see what you look like on film anyway, so why try to cover all your wobbly bits in a photo? - Emily Blunt Why try to pursue what is completed? - Mikhail Bulgakov Asking Jean-Claude not to be a pain in the ass was like asking rain not to be wet. Why try? - Laurell K Hamilton As he was about to leave, she said, "Murtagh." He paused and turned to regard her. She hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage and said, "Why?" She though he understood her meaning: Why her? Why save her, and now why try to rescue her? She had guessed at the answer, but she wanted to hear him say it. He stared at her for the longest while,...

Sometimes I haven't understood why he has done things and why things happened, but I know that God has a plan. - Jan Brewer I kept thinking, 'Somebody has to make a food show that is actually educational and entertaining at the same time... a show that got down to the 'why things happen.' Plus, I hated my job - I didn't think it was very worthwhile. - Alton Brown ...no one knows why things happen, you see? Anything could follow from anything. Even real history tells us nothing. - Kim Stanley Robinson I want to see the world without explaining away its mystery by calling things wicked, righteous, sinful, and good. I want to erase in myself the easy explanations, the always mendacious explanations about why things happen the way they do, and in this way, come to know the mystery of being-not by any approximation in thought, but by being. I want to be and not be ashamed of being. - Therese Doucet We take art, and I love all that. But I also like science for some r...

He wasn't that careful, Lucan. I think you've got him mixed up with someone else." "He put a lot of effort into you. Not just as a soldier. But as a child. Why teach you that horse sport? Why teach you to play an instrument? Why give you a God? He took you to church? Every week?" I swallow and nod as my face begins to feel hot. "Men who want to kill their grandchildren don't do those things, Junco." FLIGHT. - J A Huss

Why should I want to make anything up? Life's bad enough as it is without wanting to invent any more of it. - Douglas Adams Why should I tell you everything about how I feel when you never tell me anything? - Cassandra Clare I get no kick from champagne. Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all. So, tell me why should it be true, that I get a kick out of you? - Frank Sinatra When I hear another express an opinion which is not mine, I say to myself, he has a right to his opinion, as I to mine. Why should I question it? His error does me no injury, and shall I become a Don Quixote, to bring all men by force of argument to one opinion?...Be a listener only, keep within yourself, and endeavor to establish with yourself the habit of silence, especially in politics. - Thomas Jefferson Why should I wake when I'm half past dead? - Emilie Autumn Why can I never go back to bed? Who's is the voice ringing in my head? Where is the sense in these desperate dreams? Why should I wa...
