Host Quotes

“I decided as long as I'm going to hell, I might as well do it thoroughly.”
― Stephenie Meyer, Twilight

“God is the comic shepherd who gets more of a kick out of that one lost sheep once he finds it again than out of the ninety and nine who had the good sense not to get lost in the first place. God is the eccentric host who, when the country-club crowd all turned out to have other things more important to do than come live it up with him, goes out into the skid rows and soup kitchens and charity wards and brings home a freak show. The man with no legs who sells shoelaces at the corner. The old woman in the moth-eaten fur coat who makes her daily rounds of the garbage cans. The old wino with his pint in a brown paper bag. The pusher, the whore, the village idiot who stands at the blinker light waving his hand as the cars go by. They are seated at the damask-laid table in the great hall. The candles are all lit and the champagne glasses filled. At a sign from the host, the musicians in their gallery strike up "Amazing Grace.”
― Frederick Buechner, Telling the Truth: The Gospel as Tragedy, Comedy, and Fairy Tale

“Fear is a communicable disease; it comes out in the sweat and passes from host to host. Fear is an incendiary agent; it combusts with stupidity.”
― Brian McGreevy, Hemlock Grove

“You could also ask who’s in charge. Lots of people think, well, we’re humans; we’re the most intelligent and accomplished species; we’re in charge. Bacteria may have a different outlook: more bacteria live and work in one linear centimeter of your lower colon than all the humans who have ever lived. That’s what’s going on in your digestive tract right now. Are we in charge, or are we simply hosts for bacteria? It all depends on your outlook.”
― Neil deGrasse Tyson, Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier

“Anger is a ghost.
Human is the host.”
― Toba Beta, Betelgeuse Incident: Insiden Bait Al-Jauza

“But you have said it too often, Mr. Benedict!" said Mrs. Perumal in an imperious tone that was quite out of character. "And if you continue in this vein, I'm afraid we'll be compelled to cut our visit short. Surely there are other establishments that would host an entire troup of guests - indefinitely and without reward - and not feel obliged to apologize for it!”
― Trenton Lee Stewart, The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma

“It was an awkward moment. We were burning down our host's house, a situation which any guest seeks to avoid.”
― Tahir Shah, In Search of King Solomon's Mines

“The scar reminds me of what I can be.”
― HJ Lawson

“In many people Christ lives the life of the Host. Our life is a sacramental life.

This Host life is like the Advent life, like the life of the Child in the womb, the Child in the swaddling bands, the Christ in the tomb. It is a life of dependence upon creatures, of silence and secrecy, of hidden light. It is the life of a prisoner.”
― Caryll Houselander, The Reed of God

“Most Religions are Social Clubs with expensive Entertainment Cheap Wine and Stale Crackers”
― Stanley Victor Paskavich, Return to Stantasyland

“Anything which you have in profusion is poison”
― Amit Kalantri, Wealth of Words

“It's a toxic world out there folks, use caution when connecting online & offline. There's a darker side to going viral with success. My expert advice is that people innoculate their understanding with plenty of time-tested social research specifically regarding the authentic social, emotional intelligence and mature personality values of any circle. Look beyond their talk, uncover their stalk. If the mind is darkened with character disEASE, the behavior will symptomatically follow...those whose mentality becomes infected by their obvious blight, easily become the host targets of their contagion.”
― Tracey Bond

“I wonder how long I’ve been the victim of subliminal messaging from a fetus. I wonder if it goes this way for all pregnant mothers: At first we fully recognize the existential threat that is growing inside us, but gradually evolutionary imperatives overcome the conscious mind’s objection, and the will to reproduce overcomes the will to survive, and the needs of the baby overcome the needs of the host, until the only choice left for us women is to be willing, happy participants in our own destruction.”
― Claire Oshetsky, Chouette

“Day one of school and he was already improving life for his host. What a great parasite he was.”
― Charleigh Frederick, Demon Scout

“Look beyond the talker, and uncover the stalker. If the mind is darkened with character disEASE, the behavior will symptomatically follow...those whose mentality becomes infected by their obvious blight, easily become the host targets of their contagion.”
― Tracey Bond

“The pearlfish swims up a sea cucumber's anus, makes itslef comfortable, and eats its host's gonads.”
― Matt Simon, The Wasp That Brainwashed the Caterpillar: Evolution's Most Unbelievable Solutions to Life's Biggest Problems

“Never come late to a party you were supposed to host. Second chances are rare. If you miss them... cry.”
― Lod Nael

― Vincent Okay Nwachukwu, Weighty 'n' Worthy African Proverbs - Volume 1

“Hosting is more than just a "gig" for me... it's an opportunity to reach people where they are...make them think differently. Make them feel like they are unstoppable. If I reach one... just one...it is worth it!”
― Liz Faublas
