Coming Quotes (page 140)

Among the hills, when you sit in the cool shade of the white poplars, sharing the peace and serenity of distant fields and meadows - then let your heart say in silence, "God rests in reason." And when the storm comes, and the mighty wind shakes the forest, and thunder and lightning proclaim the majesty of the sky, - then let your heart say in awe, "God moves in passion. Khalil Gibran
There is an odd synchronicity in the way parallel lives veer to touch one another, change direction, and then come close again and again until they connect and hold for whatever it was that fate intended to happen. Ann Rule
In the literary machine that Proust’s “In Search of Lost Time” constitutes, we are struck by the fact that all the parts are produced as asymmetrical sections, paths that suddenly come to an end, hermetically sealed boxes, noncommunicating vessels, watertight compartments, in which there are gaps even between things that are contiguous, gaps that are affirmations, pieces of a puzzle belonging not to any one puzzle but to many, pieces assembled by forcing them into a certain place where they... Gilles Deleuze
A Childish Prank. Man's and woman's bodies lay without souls. Dully gaping, foolishly staring, inert. On the flowers of Eden. God pondered. The problem was so great, it dragged him asleep. Crow laughed. He bit the Worm, God's only son, Into two writhing halves. He stuffed into man the tail half. With the wounded end hanging out. He stuffed the head half headfirst into woman. And it crept in deeper and up. To peer out through her eyes. Calling it's tail-half to join up quickly, quickly.... Ted Hughes
Every man's death is standing in for every other. And since death comes to all there is no way to abate the fear of it except to love the man who stands for us. Cormac McCarthy
Logan Pearsall Smith quote: "How many of our daydreams would darken into nightmaresif there..."
How many of our daydreams would darken into nightmaresif there seemed any danger of their coming true! Logan Pearsall Smith
I believe we shall come to care about people less and less, Helen. The more people one knows, the easier it becomes to replace them. It's one of the curses of London. I quite expect to end my life caring most for a place. E. M. Forster
A little smile, a word of cheer, A bit of love from someone near, A little gift from one held dear, Best wishes for the coming year. These make a merry christmas! John Greenleaf Whittier
I distrust pious phrases, especially when they issue from my mouth. I try militantly never to be affected by the pious language of the faithful but it is always coming out when you least expect it. In contrast to the pious language of the faithful, the liturgy is beautifully flat. Flannery O'Connor
Charlaine Harris quote: "What's the nature of your emergency?' oh, shit! Just come!..."
What's the nature of your emergency?' oh, shit! Just come! There are dead people out here! Charlaine Harris
Ernest Hemingway quote: "Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would..."
Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready. Ernest Hemingway
Robert Louis Stevenson quote: "If it comes to a swinging, swing all, say I."
If it comes to a swinging, swing all, say I. Robert Louis Stevenson
Do you know what it's like to love someone so much, that you can't see yourself without picturing her? Or what it's like to touch someone, and feel like you've come home? What we had wasn't about sex, or about being with someone just to show off what you've got, the way it was for other kids our age. We were, well, meant to be together. Some people spend their whole lives looking for that one person. I was lucky enough to have her all along. Jodi Picoult
Jack Kerouac quote: "This was really the way my whole road experience began, and..."
This was really the way my whole road experience began, and the things that were to come are too fantastic not to tell. Jack Kerouac
Now, though, that meadow scene is the first thing that comes back to me. [...] And yet, as clear as the scene may be, no one is in it. No one. Naoko is not there, and neither am I. Where could we have disappeared to? How could such a thing have happened? Everything that seemed so important back then - Naoko, and the self I was then and the world I had then: where could they have all gone? It's true, I can't even bring back her face - not straight away, at least. All I'm left holding... Haruki Murakami
