Breathless, we flung us on a windy hill, Laughed in the sun, and kissed the lovely grass. Rupert Brooke
A burst of harmony so brilliant that it almost overwhelmed them surrounded Meg, the cherubim, Calvin, and Mr. Jenkins. But after a moment of breathlessness, Meg was able to open herself to the song of the farae, these strange creatures who were Deepened, rooted, yet never seperated from eachother, no matter how great the distance. We are the song of the universe. We sing with the angelic host. We are musicians. The farae and the stars are the singers. Our song orders the rhythm of creation. Madeleine L'Engle
Traditionally, I have responded to the transcendent mystics of all religions. I have always responded with breathless excitement to anyone who has ever said that God does not live in a dogmatic scripture or in a distant throne in the sky, but instead abides very close to us indeed- much closer than we can imagine, breathing right through our own hearts. Elizabeth Gilbert
What are you doing?" he breathed. "You're going around, stirring up everything."I've got time on my hands," I shot back, just as breathless, "since I dumped my asshat boyfriend."He growled, fiercely passionate, his hand in my hair pulling so tightly it pained me."You can't make this up with a kiss or a f*ck, Gideon. Not this time."Gideon & Eva Sylvia Day
Soul, wilt thou toss again? By just such a hazard Hundreds have lost, indeed, But tens have won all. Angels' breathless ballot Lingers to record thee; Imps in eager caucus Raffle for my soul. Emily Dickinson
Naturally, we are inclined to be so mathematical and calculating that we look upon uncertainty as a bad thing...Certainty is the mark of the common-sense life. To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, we do not know what a day may bring forth. This is generally said with a sigh of sadness; it should rather be an expression of breathless expectation. Oswald Chambers
Is it a fact? or have I dreamt it? that, by means of electricity, the world of matter has become a great nerve, vibrating thousands of miles in a breathless point of time? Nathaniel Hawthorne
Annie Dillard quote: "It was less like seeing than like being for the first time..."
It was less like seeing than like being for the first time seen, knocked breathless by a powerful glance. Annie Dillard
Rumi quote: "Have you ever gotten breathless before from a beautiful face,..."
Have you ever gotten breathless before from a beautiful face, for i see you there, my dear. Rumi
Soren Kierkegaard quote: "Many of us pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that we..."
Many of us pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that we hurry past it. Soren Kierkegaard
Salman Rushdie quote: "Sometimes, people trying to commit suicide manage it in a..."
Sometimes, people trying to commit suicide manage it in a manner that leaves them breathless with astonishment. Salman Rushdie
What leads me to accredit the truth of what great Savonati has conveyed to us is the way in which he conscientiously tells us everything. In novels written nowadays, writers pay little heed to their heroes' stomachs. They send them off on errands, embroil them in adventures which leave them as breathless as the reader, and yet they are never hungry. In this respect, they bear little resemblance to the author. In my opinion, this, more than anything else, serves to discredit this type of work.... Honore de Balzac
For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length--and there I travel looking, looking breathlessly. Carlos Castaneda
O Deep Thought computer," he said, "the task we have designed you to perform is this. We want you to tell us...." he paused, "The Answer."The Answer?" said Deep Thought. "The Answer to what?"Life!" urged Fook."The Universe!" said Lunkwill."Everything!" they said in chorus. Deep Thought paused for a moment's reflection."Tricky," he said finally."But can you do it?"Again, a significant pause."Yes," said Deep Thought, "I can do it."There is an answer?" said Fook with breathless excitement."Yes,"... Douglas Adams
He addressed the class...in a soft, stupefied, increasingly breathless tone like an astronaut pleading with a mad supercomputer to open an airlock. Michael Chabon
