Donowitz Arlene Quotes

#4. We stepped a little quicker, laughed a little louder and chatted over the fences a little longer. We gathered bouquets of wildflowers, dined on fresh strawberries and began to ride our bikes up and down the Third Line again. We ran up grassy hills and rolled back down through the young clover, feeling light and giddy, free from our heavy boots and coats. There were trilliums to pick for Mother and tadpoles to catch and keep in a jar. Spring had come at last to Bathurst Township and was she ever worth the wait! #Quote by Arlene Stafford-Wilson

#5. You need more than an idea to run a business #Quote by Arlene Dickinson

#6. Our kids are our future. They deserve every possible opportunity to start their day with enthusiasm, encouragement and food in their stomachs. Protecting human rights of every man, woman and child is fundamental. Kids cannot protect themselves. It's up to us to ensure they have what they need to be all they can possibly be. #Quote by Arlene Dickinson

#7. But tales like this must not be taken as truth. You must remind yourself that it is hard to tell where truth ends and a lie begins. So listen all you like, but disbelieve all you hear ...
You are in the city of lies. #Quote by Arlene J. Chai

#8. You never conquer a mountain. You stand on the summit a few brief minutes and then the wind blows away your footprints #Quote by Arlene Blum

#11. The eldest ones said that the laughter and tears are sewn right into the quilt, part and parcel, stitch by stitch. Emotions, experiences, heartbreak, mourning, pain and regret, stitched into the cloth, along with happiness, satisfaction, cheer, comfort, and love. The finished quilts were a living thing, a reflection of the spirits of its creators. #Quote by Arlene Stafford-Wilson

#12. Why are men impersonating women funny while women impersonating men are not? It is a matter of gravity. A heavy thing trying to become lighter is automatically funnier than a light thing trying to become heavy. #Quote by Arlene Croce

#13. How can I stand here forgiven and free of all my past mistakes, and not forgive you? #Quote by Arlene James

#14. Daddy said that nobody really wins a war. They only make it look that way. #Quote by Arlene Eisenbise

#15. With all of the talk about polling and demographics, I think too many people have lost touch with the human and moral crisis of deportations. Every day, roughly 1,000 people are deported because the Republican leadership of the House of Representatives is denying the majority of the US Congress a chance to vote on citizenship. I will be arrested today because the labor movement stands with the families tragically ripped apart by John Boehner and the House Republicans' embrace of a broken immigration system. #Quote by Arlene Holt Baker

#16. It is through strength of technique that the body stays in possession of music. #Quote by Arlene Croce

#17. Sometimes being in control of everything comes with a lot of challenges. #Quote by Arlene Dickinson

#18. What all of this suggests is that we need a more complex understanding
of identities. If we identify on the basis of race, class, sexuality, or
gender alone we cannot make sense of the ways these identifications
combine and change over time. The used-to-be-working class now
professional woman, the woman of mixed racial parentage who appears
white, the divorced mother who is now a lesbian, the former lesbian who
is now straight, or the former lesbian who is now a man. Identities are
always in motion; they are mobile (Ferguson, 1993). This is particularly
the case for those who have been placed in identity categories that do not
quite seem to fit; it is also true of many more of us, in varied ways. Just
ask our current President, whose own origin story, of which he has spoken
and written eloquently, is exceedingly complex. We need, I believe, a
conception of identities that embraces this complexity, that takes into
account temporality and also specificity. #Quote by Arlene Stein

#19. I am excited to be able to do something at this stage in my life that I feel is going to have some meaning. More helping people from a financial perspective understand their own strengths and lend a voice to things that I think are socially important. #Quote by Arlene Dickinson

#20. If there's anything intolerance can't tolerate, it's ridicule! #Quote by Arlene Francis

#21. Our lives with all their miracles and wonders are merely a discontinuous string of incidents - until we create the narrative that gives them meaning #Quote by Arlene Goldbard

#22. I took a little walk outside for a while. I was surprised that I wasn't feeling what I thought people were supposed to feel under the circumstances. May be I was fooling myself. I wasn't delighted, but I didn't feel terribly upset, perhaps because we had known for a long time that it was going to happen.

It's hard to explain. If a Martian(who, we'll imagine never dies except by accident) came to Earth and saw this peculiar race of creatures-these humans who live about seventy or eighty years, knowing that death is going to come--it would look to hi like a terrible problem of psychology to live under those circumstances, knowing that life is only temporary Well, we humans somehow figure out how to live despite this problem: we laugh, we joke, we live.

The only difference for me and Arlene was, instead of fifty years, it was five years. It was only a quantitative difference--the psychological problem was just the same. The only way it would have become any different is if we had said to ourselves, "But those other people have it better, because they might live fifty years." But that's crazy. Why make yourself miserable saying things like, "Why do we have such bad luck? What has God done to us? What have we done to deserve this?"--all of which, if you understand reality and take it completely into your heart, are irrelevant and unsolvable. They are just things that nobody can know. Your situation is just an accident of life..

We had a hell of goo #Quote by Richard P. Feynman

#23. We need only to close our eyes and we are back on the Third Line, walking up the lane, through the yard and entering the bright, warm kitchen. We are home again. #Quote by Arlene Stafford-Wilson

#24. Apathy is about as near to the undertaker as you can get. #Quote by Arlene Francis

#25. The word itself creates an empty sensation. Try saying it now. "Why?" Notice how your tongue touches nothing when you form the word with your mouth. Feel the gap, the space inside your mouth, that it creates. The air. It is a place that needs filling. It is missing an answer. #Quote by Arlene J. Chai

#26. Watch it ... people who keep things inside them develop all sorts of disease ... all that emotional gunk's got to find an outlet. Angry people develop cysts; stubborn people get arthritis; resentful people die of cancer. #Quote by Arlene J. Chai

#27. The true measure of success isn't winning, it's whether you won & could actually deliver. #Quote by Arlene Dickinson

#28. Every time you envy someone you use a muscle in your face to disadvantage. If you do it only once or twice, it can be erased. But over a period of years, those muscles will tighten your mouth, narrow your eyes, and help destroy your attractiveness. #Quote by Arlene Dahl

#29. We had some memorable times, on those long, hot summer nights, along the shores of the mighty Rideau; but we were by no means the first to do so. #Quote by Arlene Stafford-Wilson

#30. Dinner was served on mismatched plates with paper napkins and silverware that looked like it had been stolen from a school cafeteria. The spaghetti was from a box that was still poking out of the garbage pail, the sauce from a jar that was sitting beside the sink. I got the definite impression that he chose to make dinner because he couldn't afford to take me out. #Quote by Arlene Schindler

#31. The vision one holds of one's life is so limited, reduced in scope to a moment, so that each person can make choices only within that narrowed reality. #Quote by Arlene J. Chai

#32. Having less power doesn't mean you are of lesser worth and therefore don't have anything to offer #Quote by Arlene Dickinson

#33. These women with their talk of capricious personal gods, devils and spirits, yet here he was, the greatest devil any of them could imagine, flying easily under their radar. #Quote by Arlene Hunt

#34. Just being alive should make you late for everything. In case you've never noticed, the dead are always on time. #Quote by Arlene Ang

#35. Out of sight, out of mind' applies with even greater force to entertainers than to lovers ... #Quote by Arlene Francis
