Thrilling Quotes - Page 8

• When we love something, emotion often drives our actions. This is the gift and the challenge entrepreneurs face every day. The companies we dream of and build from scratch are part of us and intensely personal. They are our families. Our lives. But the entrepreneurial journey is not for everyone. Yes, the highs are high and the rewards can be thrilling. But the lows can break your heart. Entrepreneurs must love what they do to such a degree that doing it is worth sacrifice and, at times, pain. But doing anything else, we think, would be unimaginable

• I looked at Mum and realized -- twang! -- that she was telling an untruth. A big untruth. And I remember thinking in that instant how thrilling and grown-up it must be to say something so completely untrue, as opposed to the little amateur fibs I was already practiced at -- horrid little apprentice sinner that I was --like the ones about you'd already said your prayers or washed under the fingernails. Yes, I was impressed. I too must learn to say these gorgeous untruths. Imaginary kings and queens would be my houseguests when I was older.

• Sometimes we just walk into something that is not for us at all. We pretend it is. We think we can shrug it off like a coat, but it's not a coat at all, it's more like another skin. [...] All I wanted was to make my life thrilling for a while: to take the oridinary objects of my days and make a different argument out of them, no obligations to my past.

• Although she was ashamed to admit it now, the darkness in him had been the largest part of his allure. It was such an anomaly, a contrast to what she'd known from life. It had made him dangerous. Exciting. Sexy. But that was a fantasy. This was real. He suffered. And there was nothing sexy or thrilling about that. (Zsadists & Bella)

• Our holiday food splurge was a small crate of tangerines, which we found ridiculously thrilling after an eight-month abstinence from citrus.... Lily hugged each one to her chest before undressing it as gently as a doll. Watching her do that as she sat cross-legged on the floor one morning in pink pajamas, with bliss lighting her cheeks, I thought: Lucky is the world, to receive this grateful child. Value is not made of money, but a tender balance of expectation and longing.

• El sol no brilla sobre nosotros, sino en nosotros. Los ríos no fluyen a nuestro lado, sino a través de nosotros. Emocionan, hormiguean, hacen vibrar cada fibra y cada célula de la sustancia de nuestros cuerpos, haciéndolos deslizarse y cantar. Los árboles ondean y las flores florecen tanto en nuestros cuerpos como en nuestras almas, y cada canto de pájaro, cada canto de viento y cada tremendo canto de tormenta de las rocas en el corazón de las montañas es nuestra canción, nuestra propia canción, y canta nuestro amor.

• Es excitante y emocionante y no es particularmente amenazador, porque no son abiertamente sexuales. Gran parte del aspecto físico se transmite en cosas como que el vampiro le toca el antebrazo o le pasa una mano por la piel, y ella se ruboriza. Y para las chicas, eso es una abreviatura de todos los sentimientos que aún no están preparadas para afrontar.

• Evidence in support of general relativity came quickly. Astronomers had long known that Mercury’s orbital motion around the sun deviated slightly from what Newton’s mathematics predicted. In 1915, Einstein used his new equations to recalculate Mercury’s trajectory and was able to explain the discrepancy, a realization he later described to his colleague Adrian Fokker as so thrilling that for some hours it gave him heart palpitations.
