Attitude Quotes Novels & Stories

He would not make the same mistake again. Most of all, though, Atticus was angry at the interruption. Some puffed-up idiot had come crashing through the undergrowth, all low growls and shining eyes.

They would not land, Atticus thought, and they would never grow.

He and I turn red in embarrassment, but nonetheless, he turns to me and wimnks an eye with a bright smile. I giggle, glancing at the quotes and sure of who wrote them. I silently turn my body to see him. The smile on my face making him turn red as he averts his sight between me and the teacher. He clears his throat and runs his hands against the side of his pants. "Ahem! Of course." He sighs and stands straight to read out loud. "No matter what happens, enjoy life because you only get one and it doesn't last long. . . . .-Epicurus." He smirks and squints his eye at me, making me roll my eyes and turn to face him.

“Now, listen to me. Show up at her workplace and bring her some foods. Or whatever she likes. She might probably push you at first, but remember, anything worth having is worth fighting for.” “What the fuck has gotten into you today?” “I’m in the middle of reading a motivational book. It was a quote by Susan Elizabeth Phillips, anyway.”

He demanded. "It’s just a quote from one of his many words of wisdom. Many people around here know about it. Not like it’s a secret." More impatient now, Javier insisted, "Yes, but what does it say?"

Howard growled back at Zannie. Zannie, on the other hand, was taken aback when Howard lifted her like a sack of rice. She screamed in surprise. "Take me down! Take me down!" Howard appeared deaf to the girl's screams. "I'll take you down only when you're calm." "All right, take me down," Zannie said calmly, and Howard finally put her down. "All right, I'm sorry," she muttered. She no longer has a positive attitude and needs to relax. "Keep this in mind, Zannie. I'm not going to ruin my good reputation with someone like you. Do you think you're beautiful? Do you think you can do everything? I pity you."

She held my hand and smiled. "Don't change who you're for someone else…just stay true to yourself" she whispered. "This life would teach you so many things but you could be a weapon or a drug, your attitude would attract failure or success…" She furthered.

"I mistakenly bump into her. She was actually the one that cause it. She wasn't looking at where she was going. you need to see how this lady insulted me.. like seriously I haven't seen such an attitude before Bro. This is my....." my assistant walked in without knocking... "Excuse me, sir??"She said " Can't you see I'm busy??" I said with a bit of anger in my voice "But Mr. Fran...." "I don't care.....you are fired. I can't work with a girl who doesn't have manners.." I thundered', making the poor girl flinch. I could see tears balancing in her eyes but I didn't care...she didn't have manners and that's all that matters.
