Barren Quotes (page 2)

In the unceasing ebb and flow of justice and oppression we must all dig channels as best we may, that at the propitious moment somewhat of the swelling tide may be conducted to the barren places of life. Jane Addams
But nowadays my heart is empty and the boxwood has lost its magic scent; yes, absolutely and entirely. The creature that I was no longer exists. When I speak to her she does not understand me; I think of her, already, as of some one I have known but who no longer has any connection with myself. This sort of death of part of oneself strikes terror into my heart. Life presents itself to me as a progressive series of annihilations, until in time one arrives at the general destruction of all... Julien Green
Yet, as has been said of him before, no theory of life seemed to him to be of any importance compared with life itself.

You say that just as worms destroy a tree A wife destroys her husband and contrives, As husbands know, the ruin of their lives. Geoffrey Chaucer
Miss Ingram was a mark beneath jealousy: she was too inferior to excite feeling. Pardon the seeming paradox; I mean what I say. She was very showy, but she was not genuine; she had a fine person, many brilliant attainments, but her mind was poor, her heart barren by nature; nothing bloomed spontaneously on that soil; no unforced natural fruit delighted by its freshness. She was not good; she was not original; she used to repeat sounding phrases from books; she never offered, nor had, an... Charlotte Bronte
It little profits that an idle king, By this still hearth, among these barren crags, Match'd with an agd wife, I mete and dole. Unequal laws unto a savage race, That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me. Alfred Lord Tennyson
Feel oddly barren. My sickness is when words draw in their horns and the physical world refuses to be ordered, recreated, arranged and selected. I am a victim of it then, not a master. Sylvia Plath
All men who live only according to their five senses, and seek nothing beyond the gratification of their natural appetites for pleasure and reputation and power, cut themselves off from that charity which is the principle of all spiritual vitality and happiness because it alone saves us from the barren wilderness of our own abominable selfishness. Thomas Merton
Alfred Whitney Griswold quote: "It is a barren kind of criticism which tells you what a thing..."
It is a barren kind of criticism which tells you what a thing is not. Alfred Whitney Griswold
As you may know, some of the stereotyped behaviors exhibited by autistic children are also found in zoo animals who are raised in a barren environment. Temple Grandin
Research has shown that a barren environment is much more damaging to baby animals than it is to adult animals. It does not hurt the adult animals the same way it damages babies. Temple Grandin
Time turns the old days to derision, Our loves into corpses or wives; And marriage and death and division Make barren our lives. Algernon Charles Swinburne
