Burdens Quotes (page 12)

There is nothing we can now call our own, for what we call so is the effect of art; crimes are made by decrees of the senate, or by the votes of the people; and as here-to-fore we are burdened by vices, so now we are oppressed by laws. Blaise Pascal
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward towards the light; but the laden traveler may never reach the end of it. Ursula K. Le Guin
J. K. Rowling quote: "[He] sobbed in desperation at the burden of fear he carried..."
[He] sobbed in desperation at the burden of fear he carried with him every day of his life. J. K. Rowling
One must be drunk always. If you would not feel the horrible burden of Time that breaks your shoulders and bows you to the earth, you must intoxicate yourself unceasingly. But with what? With wine, poetry, or with virtue, your choice. But intoxicate yourself. Charles Baudelaire
I only wanted to know, Prue. I be getting ancient and old, and the time draws nigh when life'll be a burden. I'd lief know as there was good in store for the best girl ever. Mary Webb
Margaret Mitchell quote: "Until you've lost your reputation, you never realize what a..."

Love burdens itself with the wants and woes and losses and even the wrongs of others. Fulton J. Sheen
I don't mind being burdened with being glamorous and sexual. Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won't like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it's based on femininity. Marilyn Monroe
The sense of wishing to be known only for what one really is is like putting on an old, easy, comfortable garment. You are no longer afraid of anybody or anything. You say to yourself, 'Here I am --- just so ugly, dull, poor, beautiful, rich, interesting, amusing, ridiculous -- take me or leave me.' And how absolutely beautiful it is to be doing only what lies within your own capabilities and is part of your own nature. It is like a great burden rolled off a man's back when he comes to want... David Grayson
Voltaire quote: "For can anything be sillier than to insist on carrying a..."
For can anything be sillier than to insist on carrying a burden one would continually much rather throw to the ground? Voltaire
The ancients believed in fate because they recognized how hard it is for anyone to change anything. The pull of past and future is so strong that the present is crushed by it. We lie helpless in the force of patterns inherited and patterns re-enacted by our own behavior. The burden is intolerable... Jeanette Winterson
Love was a sacred garment, woven of a fabric so thin that it could not be seen, yet so strong that even mighty death could not tear it, a garment that could not be frayed by use, that brought warmth into what would otherwise be an intolerable, cold world- but at times love could also be as heavy as chain mail. Bearing the burden of love, on those occasions when it was a solemn weight, made it more precious when, in better times, it caught the wind in sleeves like wings, and lifted you. Dean Koontz
William Shakespeare quote: "Let us not burden our remembrances with a heaviness that's gone."
Let us not burden our remembrances with a heaviness that's gone. William Shakespeare
