Behinds Quotes (page 39)

Men, too, secrete the inhuman. At certain moments of lucidity, the mechanical aspect of their gestures, their meaningless pantomime makes silly everything that surrounds them. A man is talking on the telephone behind a glass partition; you cannot hear him, but you see his incomprehensible dumb show: you wonder why he is alive. This discomfort in the face of man’s own inhumanity, this incalculable tumble before the image of what we are, this “nausea,” as a writer of today calls it, is also the... Albert Camus
You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed. You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead. Wherever you fly, you'll be best of the best. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest. Except when you don't. Because, sometimes, you won't. Dr. Seuss
If we are to love our neighbors, before doing anything else we must see our neighbors. With our imagination as well as our eyes, that is to say like artists, we must see not just their faces but the life behind and within their faces. Here it is love that is the frame we see them in. Frederick Buechner
The miracle has passed me by; it has touched but not changed me; I still have the same name and I know I will probably bear it until the end of my days; I am no phoenix; resurrection is not for me; I have tried to fly but I am tumbling like a dazzled, awkward rooster back to earth, back behind the barbed wires. Erich Maria Remarque
The adult was Eric "Rusty" Everett, thirty-seven, a physician's assistant working with Dr. Ron Haskell, whom Rusty often thought of as The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Because, Rusty would have explained, he so often remains behind the curtain while I do the work. Stephen King
Humphrey Bogart quote: "The trouble with the world is that it's always one drink behind."
The trouble with the world is that it's always one drink behind. Humphrey Bogart
There are still things to be handle; there will always be things to be handled. Nobody ever gets caught up and finished on what there is to do. And even if you do, for a moment, feel a central peace, there is always somebody walking behind you with a switchblade. Charles Bukowski
Except for the small revolutionary groups which exist in all countries, the whole world was determined upon preventing revolution in Spain. In particular the Communist Party, with Soviet Russia behind it, had thrown its whole weight against the revolution. It was the Communist thesis that revolution at this stage would be fatal and that what was to be aimed at in Spain was not workers' control, but bourgeois democracy. It hardly needs pointing out why 'liberal' capitalist opinion took the... George Orwell
J. K. Rowling quote: "He didn’t know what he was going to — but it had to be better..."
He didn’t know what he was going to — but it had to be better than what he was leaving behind. J. K. Rowling
We were all delighted, we all realized we were leaving confusion and nonsense behind and performing our one and noble function of the time, move. Jack Kerouac
J. M. Barrie quote: "All are keeping a sharp look-out in front, but none suspects..."
All are keeping a sharp look-out in front, but none suspects that the danger may be creeping up from behind. J. M. Barrie
But [he] had lost god, and all his family and friends were staying behind with his imaginary friend. A silly dream goes away and takes with it your whole real life. Penn Jillette
Khalil Gibran quote: "And when one of you falls down he falls for those behind him,..."
And when one of you falls down he falls for those behind him, a caution against the stumbling stone. Khalil Gibran
Haruki Murakami quote: "The problem was, I think, that the places I fit in were always..."
The problem was, I think, that the places I fit in were always falling behind the rimes. Haruki Murakami
Out of the apartment houses come women who should be young but have faces like stale beer; men with pulled down hats and quick eyes that look the street over behind the cupped hand that shields the match flame; worn intellectuals with cigarette coughs and no money in the bank; fly cops with granite faces and unwavering eyes; cookies and coke peddlers; people who look like nothing in particular and know it, and once in a while even men that actually go to work. But they come out early, when... Raymond Chandler
