Destination Quotes (page 4)

It was with an unusual intensity of pleasure, a pleasure destined to have a lasting effect on him, that Swann remarked Odette's resemblance to the Zipporah of that Alessandro de Mariano to whom more people willingly give his popular surname, Botticelli, now that it suggests not so much the actual work of the Master as that false and banal conception of it which has of late obtained common currency. Marcel Proust
Sri Chinmoy quote: "Fear is a real enemy. What does it do? It buys our coffin long..."
Fear is a real enemy. What does it do? It buys our coffin long before we are destined to die. Sri Chinmoy
We are created for precisely this sort of suffering. In the end, it is all we are, these limpid tide pools of self-consciousness between crashing waves of pain. We are destined and designed to bear our pain with us, hugging it tight to our bellies like the young Spartan thief hiding a wolf cub so it can eat away our insides. What other creature in God's wide domain would carry the memory of you, Fanny, dust these nine hundred years, and allow it to eat away at him even as consumption does the... Dan Simmons
Your purpose when driving is not to arrive at your destination safely or quickly. Your purpose when driving is...to impress your personality on the road. Martin Amis
Carmelia Montiel, a twenty-year-old virgin, had just bathed in orange-blossom water and was strewing rosemary leaves on Pilar Ternera's bed when the shot rang out. Aureliano Jos had been destined to find with her the happiness that Amaranta had denied him, to have seven children, and to die in her arms of old age, but the bullet that entered his back and shattered his chest had been directed by a wrong interpretation of the cards. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Do you want to make progress? If so, then take each problem not as a challenging rival, but as an encouraging friend of yours, who is helping you to arrive at your ultimate destination. Sri Chinmoy
Carl Rogers quote: "there is direction but there is no destination"
there is direction but there is no destination Carl Rogers
I don't know whether you can look at your past and find, woven like the hidden symbols on a treasure map, the path that will point to your final destination. Jodi Picoult
E.L. Doctorow said once said that 'Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.' You don't have to see where you're going, you don't have to see your destination or everything you will pass along the way. You just have to see two or three feet ahead of you. This is right up there with the best advice on writing, or life, I have ever heard. Anne Lamott
The road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination. Marion Zimmer Bradley
Suzanne Collins quote: "We follow instructions to my destination, a chamber for my..."
We follow instructions to my destination, a chamber for my preparation. Suzanne Collins
I myself, from the very beginning, Seemed to myself like someone's dream or delirium. Or a reflection in someone else's mirror, Without flesh, without meaning, without a name. Already I knew the list of crimes. That I was destined to commit. Anna Akhmatova
It was often this way, life consisted of a series of false beginnings, bluff declarations of arrival to destinations not even glimpsed. Jonathan Lethem
Simon Bolivar quote: "The United States appear to be destined by Providence to..."
The United States appear to be destined by Providence to plague America with misery in the name of liberty. Simon Bolivar
the most sublime efforts of philosophy can extend no farther than feebly to point out the desire, the hope, or, at most, the probability, of a future state, there is nothing, except a divine revelation, that can ascertain the existence, and describe the condition of the invisible country which is destined to receive the souls of men after their separation from the body. Edward Gibbon
