Sometimes I sits and thinks. Other times I sits and drinks, but mostly I just sits.

Neal Cassady

Woodrow Wilson

Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.

A. A. Milne

I actually have my first iPhone deformity because it sits on my pinky, and now my bone actually dips in where my cellphone sits.

Torrey DeVitto

Happiness don't ask to see who you be afore her sits down at your table. 'Er comes and sits with them as know how to welcome her and keep her the willing guest.

Jean Plaidy

She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway.

Rob Thomas

No one sits on the stoop when she's a kid and thinks, 'I want to be a biographer when I grow up,'

Stacy Schiff

No one sits on the stoop when she's a kid and thinks, 'I want to be a biographer when I grow up.'

Stacy Schiff

Man is a marvelous curiosity...he thinks he is the Creator's pet...he even believes the Creator loves him; has passion for him; sits up nights to admire him; yes and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to him and thinks he listens. Isn't it a quaint idea.

Mark Twain

Often when works at a hard question, nothing good is accomplished at the first attack. Then one takes a rest, long or short, and sits down anew to the work. During the first half-hour, as before, nothing is found, and then all of a sudden the decisive idea presents itself to the mind.

Henri Poincare

An Englishmen thinks seated; a Frenchmen standing; an American pacing, an Irishman, afterwards.

Austin O'Malley

There's lots of law these days, but not much justice. Celebrities murder their wives and go free. A mother kills her children, and the news people on TV say she's the victim and want you to send money to her lawyers. When everything's upside down like this, what fool just sits back and thinks justice will prevail?

Dean Koontz

It was then that Hook bit him. Not the pain of this but its unfairness was what dazed Peter. It made him quite helpless. He could only stare, horrified. Every child is affected thus the first time he is treated unfairly. All he thinks he has a right to when he comes to you to be yours is fairness. After you have been unfair to him he will love you again, but he will never afterwards be quite the same boy. No one ever gets over the first unfairness; no one except Peter.

James M. Barrie

It's a weird partnership. For me and Patrick, if you've met him, we're not very much alike. But we bring such different tools to the table. He doesn't think like me. I don't think like him. He thinks like an editor. He thinks like a director. He thinks completely outside of the box when it comes to writing and so because of that he leads me down roads that I would've never gone down. And he sucks at grammar. So together we're perfect.

Todd Farmer

Thought's a luxury. Do you think the peasant sits and thinks of God and Democracy when he gets inside his mud hut at night?

Graham Greene

I don't think anyone sits down and thinks, 'I know, I'll be a chick-lit writer.' You write the book that you want to write and then other people say, 'Oh, that's chick-lit.' You say, 'Okay.' But it's not like you look around and go to a careers fair and there will be someone at the chick-lit author stand.
