Results from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations:

Sometimes we do a thing in order to find out the reason for it. Sometimes our actions are questions not answers.: John Le Carre (1931 - ), Magnus Pym in "A Perfect Spy"
Any community's arm of force - military, police, security - needs people in it who can do necessary evil, and yet not be made evil by it. To do only the necessary and no more. To constantly question the assumptions, to stop the slide into atrocity.: Lois McMaster Bujold, "Barrayar", 1991
But pain... seems to me an insufficient reason not to embrace life. Being dead is quite painless. Pain, like time, is going to come on regardless. Question is, what glorious moments can you win from life in addition to the pain?: Lois McMaster Bujold, "Barrayar", 1991
What you are is a question only you can answer.: Lois McMaster Bujold, The Warrior's Apprentice, 1986
We read frequently if unknowingly, in quest of a mind more original than our own.: Harold Bloom (1930 - )
The toughest question has always been, "How do you get your ideas?" How do you answer that? It's like asking runners how they run, or singers how they sing. They just do it!: Lynn Johnston (1947 - ), Lynn on Ideas
My life is the story of a man who always wants to carry too much. My spiritual quest is the painful process of learning to let go of things not essential.: Gordon Atkinson, RealLivePreacher.com Weblog, December 16, 2002
I used to think of all the billions of people in the world, and of all those people, how was I going to meet the right ones? The right ones to be my friends, the right one to be my husband. Now I just believe you meet the people you're supposed to meet.: Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, The Quest, 1995
Most of you have been where I am tonight. The crash site of unrequited love. You ask yourself, How did I get here? What was it about? Was it her smile? Was it the way she crossed her legs, the turn of her ankle, the poignant vulnerability of her slender wrists? What are these elusive and ephemeral things that ignite passion in the human heart? That's an age-old question. It's perfect food for thought on a bright midsummer's night.: Martin Sage and Sybil Adelman, Northern Exposure, The Bumpy Road to Love, 1991
The question should be, is it worth trying to do, not can it be done.: Allard Lowenstein, O Magazine, September 2002
