Quotes from You Really Are Full of Shit, Aren't You?

“You see what your mother-in-law hasn’t yet realised is that she’s the one who needs to hold out the olive branch, not you, because she’s the one who’s going to want to come around more and more in the future to see her grand-kids. SHE needs to make friends with YOU, not the other way around.”
― Karl Wiggins, quote from You Really Are Full of Shit, Aren't You?

“What kind of a turnip are you? Are you fucking stupid? She didn’t shag these blokes out of revenge. She shagged them because she wanted some dick!”
― Karl Wiggins, quote from You Really Are Full of Shit, Aren't You?

“What a potpourri of emotions are mixed up in this one. Passion, heartache, exaltation, distress, fascination, anguish, enchantment, remorse, jubilation, defeatism”
― Karl Wiggins, quote from You Really Are Full of Shit, Aren't You?

“The message? Do not fuck with your ears! The damage done is irreparable!”
― Karl Wiggins, quote from You Really Are Full of Shit, Aren't You?

“Above all else, be true to yourself. Do what YOU want to do. Walk alone and be your own judge. It’ll be a bumpy road sometimes, but you’ll carry yourself a little taller at the end of each and every journey. In the end nobody except you cares whether you run your life at the beck and call of everyone else or whether you choose to be a Warrior-Sage, living your own life.
And that’s the way it should be.”
― Karl Wiggins, quote from You Really Are Full of Shit, Aren't You?

“We look at the way some kids behave and instantly blame the parents, and more often than not we’re correct. The school bully is often a sign of poor parenting. That’s the immediate cause, but if we search for the root cause we have to dig much deeper than that. What on earth in that kid’s head makes it seem okay to bully people? Why are the parents doing such a poor job of bringing up their children? Probably because they didn’t have very effective role models themselves when they were growing up. It could go back generations”
― Karl Wiggins, quote from You Really Are Full of Shit, Aren't You?

“For a shy person it’s hard enough to overcome self-consciousness and establish personal relationships with others without having the additional hindrance of a well-meaning but misguided relative who only emphasises that person’s limitations”
― Karl Wiggins, quote from You Really Are Full of Shit, Aren't You?

“Have you seen the state of some of these vegetarians? They look like they’re going to drop down dead any minute. We didn’t fight our way to the top of the food chain to be vegetarians, did we? Can you imagine a fry-up without the sausage and bacon? Or not being able to order steak, egg and chips? Can you imagine Christmas dinner without the turkey? Or a barbeque without the ribs?”
― Karl Wiggins, quote from You Really Are Full of Shit, Aren't You?

“Who knows, perhaps God is simply the search for God.”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, quote from Saint Francis

“You will always be my June, Tru."
"And you're my Johnny Cash, Jake.”
― Samantha Towle, quote from Wethering the Storm

“Eddie had come to understand that what a man saw and what actually existed in the natural world often were contradictory. The human eye was not capable of true sight, for it was constrained by its own humanness, clouded by regret, and opinion, and faith. Whatever was witnessed in the real world was unknowable in real time. It was the eye of the camera that captured the world as it truly was.”
― Alice Hoffman, quote from The Museum of Extraordinary Things

“We are all a complete mixture;yet at the same time,we are all related.Each gene can trace its own journey to a different common ancestor.This is a quite extraordinary legacy that we all have inherited from the people who lived before us.Our genes did not just appear when we were born.They have been carried to us by millions of individual lives over thousands of generations.”
― Bryan Sykes, quote from The Seven Daughters of Eve: The Science That Reveals Our Genetic Ancestry

“Anh ta cho rằng anh ta không thể sống mà không thuộc về một cái gì. Đa số người ta đã không nghĩ thế đó ư? Anh ta xác tín rằng anh ta phải thuộc về. Nhưng người ta không cần phải thuộc về ai hay cái gì hay nhóm nào. Thậm chí bạn không cần phải có một mối tình. Ai bảo bạn rằng bạn phải cần những thứ ấy - đó chỉ là xúi quẩy. Điều mà bạn cần đó là sự tự do. Điều mà bạn cần là yêu thương. Tất cả là vậy; đó là chân tính của bạn. Thế nhưng thực tế là bạn thú nhận rằng bạn cần được người ta khao khát. Bạn cần được hoan hô, bạn cần lôi cuốn người ta, bạn cần lũ khỉ tội nghiệp ấy chạy theo bạn. Rõ ràng bạn đang phí cả một đời. Tỉnh dậy đi! Bạn không phải cần những thứ ấy đâu. Bạn có thể hạnh phúc trọn vẹn được mà chẳng cần chúng.

Người chung quanh bạn sẽ chẳng vui gì khi nghe điều nầy - bởi vì một khi bạn đã mở mắt và hiểu ra, bạn sẽ làm người ta kinh hãi. Làm sao người ta kiểm soát được một người như thế? Hắn không cần mình; hắn không ngán những điều mình bình phẩm về hắn; hắn mặc kệ mình nghĩ hay nói gì về hắn. Hắn cắt phứt mọi dây nhợ; hắn không còn là con rối nữa. Điều đó không khiếp ư? “Thế thì chúng ta phải xử hắn. Hắn nói ra sự thật. Hắn hết còn kiêng nể ai; hắn không còn là người - khi hắn đã phá tan tình trạng nô dịch của hắn, phá tan ngục tù mà người ta giam hãm hắn.”
― Anthony de Mello, quote from Awareness: Conversations with the Masters

About BookQuoters

BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.

We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.

Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
