Come Quotes (page 266)

One conceals oneself standing silently beside the trunk of a tree and what there is of a reflective tendency in his nature is intensified. One shudders at the thought of the meaninglessness of life while at the same instant, and if the people of the town are his people, one loves life so intensely that tears come into the eyes. Sherwood Anderson
They keep coming up new all the time - things to perplex you, you know. You settle one question and there's another right after.

It's a serious thing to grow up, isn't it, Marilla? L. M. Montgomery

I had come to Yugoslavia to see what history meant in flesh and blood. Rebecca West
Isn't it true that you start your life a sweet child believing in everything under your father's roof? Then comes the day of the Laodiceans, when you know you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, and with the visage of a gruesome grieving ghost you go shuddering through nightmare life. Jack Kerouac
There is no despair so absolute as that which comes from the first moments of our first great sorrow when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and healed, to have despaired and recovered hope. George Eliot

I think it's IMPOSSIBLE for anyone famous to come from here, because everyone around here is insane. Terry Prachett
When making a decision of minor importance, I have always found it advantageous to consider all the pros and cons. In vital matters, however, such as the choice of a mate or a profession, the decision should come from the unconscious, from somewhere within ourselves. In the important decisions of personal life, we should be governed, I think, by the deep inner needs of our nature. Sigmund Freud
she had long accepted the factthat happiness is like swallows in. Spring. It may come and nest underyour eaves or it may not. You cannotcommand it. When you expect to behappy you are not, when you don'texpect to be happy there's suddenly. Easter in your soul, though it bemidwinter. Elizabeth Goudge
I suppose like others. I have come through fire and sword, love gone wrong, head-on crashes, drunk at sea, and I have listened to the simple sound of water runningin tubsand wished to drown Charles Bukowski
It is our task in our time and in our generation to hand down undiminished to those who come after us, as was handed down to us by those who went before, the natural wealth and beauty which is ours. John F. Kennedy

"…some of the best fighters have come from your own planet…" "Who have our fighters been?" Calvin asked. "Oh, you must know them, dear," Mrs. Whatsit said. Mrs. Who’s spectacles shone out at them triumphantly. "And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. Madeleine L'Engle
Sigmund Freud quote: "When inspiration does not come to me, I go halfway to meet it."
When inspiration does not come to me, I go halfway to meet it. Sigmund Freud
I have seen something like it happen in battle. A man was coming at me, I at him, to kill. Then came a sudden great gust of wind that wrapped out cloaks over our swords and almost over our eyes, so that we could do nothing to one another but must fight the wind itself. And that ridiculous contention, so foreign to the business we were on, set us both laughing, face to face - friends for a moment - and then at once enemies again and forever. C. S. Lewis
