“Guilt kept me going. It was impossible not to blame myself for what had happened, but even guilt was a comfort. It was a human feeling, a sign that I was still attached to the same world that other men lived in.” MenWorldHumansStillsFeelingsImpossibleHappenedComfortBlameGuilt Book:Moon Palace: A Novel (Penguin Ink) Source: Moon Palace: A Novel (Penguin Ink)
“I think what happened with Brandy [Burre]is what happens with a lot of people. You make these decisions for comfort and stability, and then eventually those same things that are comforting and stable end up putting walls around you that you didn't expect.” PeopleThinkingEndsHappensDecisionHappenedWallComfortStabilityStableComfortingBrandy Author:Robert Greene
“They would grow up grappling with ways of living with what happened. They would try to tell themselves that in terms of geological time it was an insignificant event. Just a blink of the Earth Woman's eye. That Worse Things had happened. That Worse Things kept happening. But they would find no comfort in the thought.” WayTryingEyeEarthGrowsTermGrowing UpHappenedEventsComfortHappeningsInsignificantBlinkGrapplingGeological Time Book:The God of Small Things Source: The God of Small Things
“Fate rules. You follow the steps and you plan and you work. Then fate slips in laughing and makes fools of us. Sometimes we can trick it or out guess it but most often its already written. For some its written in blood. That doesn't mean we stop, but it does mean we can't comfort ourselves with blame. It's easier to take the blame than to admit there was nothing you could do to stop whatever happened.” MeanDoeSometimesStepsLaughingFatePlansWrittenHappenedBloodFoolEasierComfortBlameTricksSlips Author:Nora Roberts
“He likes a day in the studio to end, he says, "when my knees are all skinned up and my pants are wet and my hair's off to one side and I feel like I've been in the foxhole all day. I don't think comfort is good for music. It's good to come out with skinned knuckles after wrestling with something you can't see. I like it when you come home at the end of the day from recording and someone says, "What happened to your hand?" And you don't even know. When you're in that place, you can dance on a broken ankle.” ThinkingKnowsFeelsEndsHomeHandsSidesHappenedHairBrokenComfortStudiosLikesKneesThe End Of The DayComing HomeWrestlingPantsWetAnklesKnucklesFoxholes Author:Tom Waits
“And I felt comfort. Finally. All I'd wanted for so long was for someone to explain everything that had happened to me in this same way. To label it neatly on a page: this leads to this leads to this. I knew, deep down, it was more complicated than that, but watching Jason, I was hopeful. He took the mess that was Macbeth and fixed it, and I had to wonder if he might, in some small way, be able to do the same for me. So I moved myself closer to him, and I'd been there ever since.” IfsWayLongMightAbleWantedFeltWonderHappenedComfortPagesMovedComplicatedMessLabelsFixedHopefulDeep DownJason Author:Sarah Dessen
