Could Quotes (page 390)

The library door was thick and none of the ordinary sounds that might have reminded them, might have held them back, could reach them. They were beyond the present, outside time, with no memories and no future, Ian Mcewan
Then he called him Maeglin, which is Sharp Glance, for he perceived that the eyes of his son were more piercing than his own, and his thought could read the secrets of hearts beyond the mist of words. J. R. R. Tolkien
James Joyce quote: "There was no doubt about it: if you wanted to succeed you had..."
There was no doubt about it: if you wanted to succeed you had to go away. You could do nothing in Dublin. James Joyce
Farewell,' she said. 'I hope you hear many more songs' - which was the best way she could think of to say good-bye to a butterfly. Peter S. Beagle
George R. R. Martin quote: "A man could not always be where he belonged, though."
A man could not always be where he belonged, though. George R. R. Martin
It was an evening of torment, and I remember only one other thing about it. At some point after everyone was asleep, I wandered away from the inn in a daze and ended up on the sea cliffs, staring out into the darkness with sound of the roaring water below me. The thundering of the ocean was like a bitter lament. I seemed to see beneath everything a layering of cruelty I have never known was there. The howling of the wind and shaking of the trees seemed to mock me. Could it really be that the... Arthur Golden
If any suffering was fruitless it was the agony of a hangover; what he suffered now could not expiate suffering of any other kind. Kenzaburo Oe
In fact I no longer value this kind of memento. I no longer want reminders of what was, what got broken, what got lost, what got wasted. There was a period, a long period, dating from my childhood until quite recently, when I thought I did. A period during which I believed that I could keep people fully present, keep them with me, by preserving their mementos, their "things," their totems. Joan Didion
Suzanne Collins quote: "We could do it, you know."
We could do it, you know. Suzanne Collins
I was tossed on a buoyant but unquiet sea, where billows of trouble rolled under surges of joy. I thought sometimes I saw beyond its wild waters a shore, sweet as the hills of Beulah; and now and then a freshening gale, wakened my hope, bore my spirit, triumphantly towards the bourne: but I could not reach it, even in fancy,--a counteracting breeze blew off land, and continually drove me back. Sense would resist delirium; judgment would warn passion Charlotte Bronte
In the talcum on the floor around him he could see the imprints of his mother's feet. She had moved from side to side, propelled by an over-eager partner, perhaps one of the Japanese officers to whom she was teaching to tango. Jim tried out the dance steps himself, which seemed far more violent than any tango he had ever seen, and managed to fall and cut his hand on the broken mirror. J. G. Ballard
George Eliot quote: "Dorothea, he said to himself, was for ever enthroned in his..."
Dorothea, he said to himself, was for ever enthroned in his soul: no other woman could sit higher than her footstool... George Eliot
What most people call loving consists of picking out a woman and marrying her. They pick her out, I swear, I’ve seen them. As if you could pick in love, as if it were not a lightning bolt that splits your bones and leaves you staked out in the middle of the courtyard. They probably say that they pick her out because-they-love-her, I think it’s just the siteoppo. Beatrice wasn’t picked out, Juliet wasn’t picked out. You don’t pick out the rain that soaks you to a skin when you come out of a... Julio Cortazar
Dear Friends: As one who has experimented extensively with life in the home and community, using real people in true-life situations, I doubt that any playthings could prepare a child for one millionth of what is going to hit him in the teeth, ready or not. Kurt Vonnegut
Ray Bradbury quote: "Somewhere in him, a shadow turned mournfully over. You had to..."
Somewhere in him, a shadow turned mournfully over. You had to run with a night like this so the sadness could not hurt Ray Bradbury
